Speaker 1: NFL Game Debut is a production of the NFL in
0:06
Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio.
0:11
Speaker 2: Everybody Welcome to Game Debut. Patrick Claybohn Spoiled Rotten because
0:14
Speaker 2: I get to sit here with these guys, Greg Rosell,
0:17
Speaker 2: Cynthia Freeland talked football while you guys watching. We're halfway
0:20
Speaker 2: through Greg, halfway through.
0:21
Speaker 3: The I cannot wait for this show because actually it's
0:24
Speaker 3: gonna be my alter ego this week nine that's doing
0:28
Speaker 3: the show, and nine is actually in first place in
0:31
Speaker 3: the picks.
0:32
Speaker 2: Oh.
0:32
Speaker 3: I have summoned all my rage like Mike JJ McCarthy,
0:36
Speaker 3: and it's going to make me pick better the rest
0:38
Speaker 3: of the season.
0:38
Speaker 2: Combine that rage into a being that's conscious and aware,
0:44
Speaker 2: much like Cynthia Freeland's model, which has once again supplanted
0:48
Speaker 2: Dragon and I no more crowns for me. The crown
0:52
Speaker 2: is solo on the head of Cynthia Freeland. Eighty five
0:55
Speaker 2: and forty nine through Week nine, back where we all
0:58
Speaker 2: expected Cynthia to be at the top.
1:01
Speaker 4: I just can't get over this alter egos.
1:04
Speaker 3: Fun It's right, it's gonna help me. I'm only four back,
1:07
Speaker 3: it's gonna help me.
1:08
Speaker 2: You're fine, You're the chips on shoulders. When you can,
1:11
Speaker 2: when you can create a new person, let's teck the ball.
1:13
Speaker 2: The Packers and Eagles met up in last year's wild
1:15
Speaker 2: card round. Jalen Hurts through for two scores, including this
1:18
Speaker 2: play where Dallas Goddard went full base mode on Carrington's
1:21
Speaker 2: balance con on his way into the end zone. Jordan
1:23
Speaker 2: Love threw three interceptions in the game. The Eagles won
1:26
Speaker 2: it twenty two to ten and advance to the Divisional round.
1:29
Speaker 2: If you're just joining us, they would ultimately go on
1:31
Speaker 2: to win the Super Bowl. But now it's a revenge
1:35
Speaker 2: fortunity on Monday Night and Lamba where the pat just
1:37
Speaker 2: took a loss to the Panthers Eagles coming off the
1:40
Speaker 2: bye who gets a win something?
1:42
Speaker 5: Philadelphia gets the win, but just by one point twenty
1:45
Speaker 5: four to two twenty three. Not only did Howie Roseman
1:48
Speaker 5: do it again and like steal people at free agency,
1:51
Speaker 5: trade deadline, all of those things.
1:53
Speaker 4: But Saquon Barkley he's still there.
1:55
Speaker 5: And if you break down one of the things that
1:57
Speaker 5: Saquon does really where where he's rushing really well, you're
2:00
Speaker 5: looking at an inside run here, but you can look
2:02
Speaker 5: to the outside too, and you can find good matchups
2:05
Speaker 5: against what the Packers aren't defending as well. You can
2:07
Speaker 5: say overall Packers defense pretty darn good against the run
2:10
Speaker 5: in terms of yards per game given up. They're a
2:12
Speaker 5: top the league, fifth, sixth right around there. But ultimately,
2:15
Speaker 5: when you're looking at specific runs that Barkley does really well, Yeah,
2:19
Speaker 5: unfortunately for the pack that is something that is not
2:23
Speaker 5: their strength.
2:24
Speaker 4: So say juon Barkley, advantage for him.
2:27
Speaker 2: You've got an advantage in the run game. I've got
2:28
Speaker 2: a more comfortable win for the Philadelphia Eagles twenty five
2:32
Speaker 2: to twenty. I think the Eagles passing game has a
2:34
Speaker 2: lot to do with it. The Packer is one of
2:36
Speaker 2: the best teams against slot receivers, allowing the third fewest
2:39
Speaker 2: yards in the league data. Smith's getting sixty three percent
2:42
Speaker 2: of the time in the slot. So why not have
2:44
Speaker 2: Dallas Goddard playing in tight like he has a lot
2:47
Speaker 2: this season? Maybe not a big highlight like the one
2:49
Speaker 2: he had in the playoffs, but enough to keep change
2:52
Speaker 2: moving and maybe get another touchdown Birds For.
2:56
Speaker 3: Me, Greg, I gotta say it's an opportunity here when
3:00
Speaker 3: in a game that I frankly don't know what to
3:02
Speaker 3: do Let's take a home favorite.
3:03
Speaker 6: Let's gets Greg.
3:05
Speaker 3: Let's have the Packers win this game, because this team
3:08
Speaker 3: is so hard to figure.
3:09
Speaker 4: Is this nine picking or Greg picking?
3:11
Speaker 3: This is actually my real alter ego is sixty percent G.
3:15
Speaker 3: I think that's better. Nine is taken by JJ McCarthy.
3:18
Speaker 3: And I want Jordan Love to bring an alter ego
3:21
Speaker 3: this week. He almost leads the league and passes behind
3:27
Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage.
3:28
Speaker 6: So you're seeing a lot of these short passes by.
3:31
Speaker 3: Jordan Love this season and it's a little frustrating. I
3:34
Speaker 3: want him to start airing it out. Only Kyler Murray,
3:38
Speaker 3: who haven't seen in a while, has a higher percentage
3:41
Speaker 3: of throws.
3:41
Speaker 6: Behind the line of scrimmage.
3:43
Speaker 3: Let's go back to an alter ego of Jordan Love,
3:45
Speaker 3: and it's like Jordan Love from a couple of years ago,
3:47
Speaker 3: who has a little more daring do who throws the
3:50
Speaker 3: ball down the field. And this is the most confounding
3:52
Speaker 3: team in the NFL, and so I was struggling to
3:54
Speaker 3: pick this game. I thought, what does the most confounding
3:56
Speaker 3: team in the NFL do? They actually go out and
3:58
Speaker 3: win this game when nobody expected it, at least not
4:01
Speaker 3: on this set so I'm gonna get it right.
4:03
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're wrong.
4:04
Speaker 2: It's one out of three, so it can't be nobody.
4:06
Speaker 5: I still can't get over if it's sixty percent g picking.
4:09
Speaker 3: Or great sixty percent, sixty six percent got it?
4:14
Speaker 2: It's top forget more with Geico Cynthia. Which Eagles receiver
4:18
Speaker 2: is more likely to have over sixty yards in the game?
4:21
Speaker 2: Is it aj or DeVonta?
4:22
Speaker 5: Well, you talked about it when you were talking about
4:24
Speaker 5: slot situations. They are much more stout against slot receiver.
4:28
Speaker 5: So pick the guy who lines up out wide more often.
4:31
Speaker 5: That's Aj Brown to have more than fifty five receiving years.
4:34
Speaker 5: When I'm looking at the opportunity in this one, I
4:36
Speaker 5: think he also see that busts and coverage. I know
4:38
Speaker 5: we're watching Minnesota, but that's kind of the thing that
4:40
Speaker 5: he does. Those deep passes will be an advantage, especially
4:43
Speaker 5: with the team that likes to get a little a
4:44
Speaker 5: little blitzy with it upfront.
4:46
Speaker 2: Well, blitzy with it. Like the matchup, it's a great game.
4:49
Speaker 2: That's why we're kind of split that close scores. Looking
4:52
Speaker 2: forward to Eagles Packers. Another matchup I can't wait is
4:55
Speaker 2: the Rams and Niners. These teams had an epic matchup
4:58
Speaker 2: back over there at SOFI Stadium Week five. Here's a
5:01
Speaker 2: quick recap on how that went down.
5:08
Speaker 7: Mitchell close MCA and it cut Joe Barney.
5:18
Speaker 2: Knarro gives the Niners be Leenando Rams gets a football
5:22
Speaker 2: coming one man had.
5:23
Speaker 6: It on twenty times.
5:23
Speaker 8: Tim Stumbling start the field.
5:29
Speaker 2: A big Rams Niners rematch up there in Santa Clara.
5:32
Speaker 2: The NFC West is up for grabs. Who gets their
5:35
Speaker 2: seventh win of the season Sunday.
5:37
Speaker 6: It will be the Los Angeles Rams.
5:39
Speaker 3: I actually don't think it's gonna be that close this
5:41
Speaker 3: week twenty nine to seventeen. You just saw Fred Warner's
5:45
Speaker 3: image in that last game. He's no longer on the field.
5:48
Speaker 3: Neither's Nick Bosa. The defense isn't the same. You know
5:51
Speaker 3: who is the same. It's Matthew Stafford each and every week,
5:54
Speaker 3: as long as you protect him. The numbers are just outrageous.
5:58
Speaker 3: If you can get quick pressure on him, he's not
6:01
Speaker 3: the same quarterback.
6:01
Speaker 6: You know who's not getting any pressure.
6:03
Speaker 3: The forty Niners defense among the lowest pressure rates in
6:06
Speaker 3: the league, especially since Bosa went out, and ultimately these
6:10
Speaker 3: are division rivals. Kyle san Dam has been a tough
6:13
Speaker 3: matchup for Sean McVay over the years. But when you
6:16
Speaker 3: have two teams that I think are really in balanced,
6:18
Speaker 3: I think the Rams are way more talented right now,
6:21
Speaker 3: and you already lost the first game, It's gonna even
6:23
Speaker 3: out in the rematch.
6:24
Speaker 5: I think the Rams get it well, can even out
6:26
Speaker 5: in the rematch without being that big of a differential,
6:29
Speaker 5: which is what I have twenty four to twenty two
6:31
Speaker 5: in favor of the Rams in this matchup. Because there
6:33
Speaker 5: is one guy who is still playing for the Niners.
6:36
Speaker 5: It's Christian McCaffrey. This is someone who averages one hundred
6:39
Speaker 5: and fifty eight scribbage yards in five matchups against this
6:42
Speaker 5: is that's that's kind of a lot.
6:44
Speaker 8: You know.
6:45
Speaker 5: I think they'd be pretty happy with that type of
6:47
Speaker 5: output in this and what you see here is this
6:49
Speaker 5: game of chess.
6:50
Speaker 4: I love the analogy. It's very dorky, but whatever.
6:53
Speaker 5: When you see McCaffrey do something like, for example, in
6:55
Speaker 5: the rest of the season, he's really used a lot
6:58
Speaker 5: when he's in motion thirty five percent of the time.
7:00
Speaker 4: Well, when they play each other, what happened last time?
7:02
Speaker 4: They didn't they completely reversed that trend.
7:05
Speaker 5: They target him on just two times of the fifteen
7:07
Speaker 5: that he went in motion ahead of the snap. So
7:09
Speaker 5: they're just coming out like Kyle sitting him like, ha,
7:12
Speaker 5: I'm going to figure out what to do to get
7:15
Speaker 5: Sean madd and Sean saying ha, I'm going to figure
7:18
Speaker 5: out what to make good met So I just think
7:20
Speaker 5: it ends up being a closer match up. It's more
7:21
Speaker 5: fun for us to watch a closer matchup too.
7:23
Speaker 2: I we just talked about this. I wish I could
7:26
Speaker 2: change my score to completely split the difference between you guys.
7:29
Speaker 2: I've also got a Rams win, but it's not twelve,
7:31
Speaker 2: it's not two. It's a six point win because it's
7:33
Speaker 2: gonna be I'm gonna get the ball to Christian McCaffrey.
7:36
Speaker 2: But all the plays on the sheet are just Christian
7:39
Speaker 2: McCaffrey and over on the other side. Last time they played,
7:42
Speaker 2: every single play felt like it was Kendrick Bourne. Kendrick
7:45
Speaker 2: Bourne was targeted on twenty four percent of his routes
7:49
Speaker 2: run against the Rams in week five yards one hundred
7:51
Speaker 2: and forty two yards. He was incredible. Late in the game,
7:54
Speaker 2: you were thinking, well, this ball is obviously going to
7:57
Speaker 2: Kendrick Bourne. It was, and the Rams still couldn't stop him.
7:59
Speaker 2: They've made trades, they had changes in the secondary. Roger
8:02
Speaker 2: McCree came over on October twenty seventh. I think considering
8:06
Speaker 2: the volume of things that had to happen for the
8:08
Speaker 2: forty nine ers to win that game, and so far,
8:11
Speaker 2: it's likely uh to me that the Rams win. So yes,
8:13
Speaker 2: Niners fans, your photo opportunity is right here. Send us
8:17
Speaker 2: the name alert. We are across the board taking the Rams. Here,
8:20
Speaker 2: let's head from Santa Clara to the other side of
8:23
Speaker 2: the planet, all the way to Germany for the first
8:26
Speaker 2: ever NFL game to be played in Berlin on the NFL.
8:31
Speaker 2: Is it Berlin.
8:32
Speaker 9: Kicking the week?
8:38
Speaker 2: It is an unbelievable to grab it out on this
8:43
Speaker 2: Dan Taylor for the great running.
8:46
Speaker 6: Back, mister Robinson.
8:53
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, let's break down this matchup the Falcons
9:03
Speaker 2: and Colts, both looking for bounce back games. Cynthia will
9:06
Speaker 2: be in Berlin for this one where the das spielgwinnen,
9:09
Speaker 2: which is a poorly enunciated way of saying who wins
9:11
Speaker 2: the games?
9:13
Speaker 5: Dos Colts Indianapolis. I have them winning twenty eight to
9:18
Speaker 5: twenty one. I want to talk about the newly acquired
9:22
Speaker 5: Sauce Gardner. Why because this is already a defense that
9:25
Speaker 5: is very good when they rush just forward. In fact,
9:27
Speaker 5: they have the second highest pressure rate when they do that,
9:29
Speaker 5: when they don't blitz, when they drop more.
9:31
Speaker 4: Guys in coverage.
9:32
Speaker 5: One of the issues that lou and Rumo has had
9:34
Speaker 5: so far this season is keeping his corners healthy.
9:36
Speaker 4: Well.
9:37
Speaker 5: Sauce comes over, hopefully he's able to play in this matchup,
9:40
Speaker 5: and what does he do. He provides you that opportunity
9:42
Speaker 5: to travel with number ones, something we've seen him doing
9:45
Speaker 5: all season long so far, and to stay in tight coverage.
9:48
Speaker 5: He has a lot of minutes played in tight coverage,
9:51
Speaker 5: So giving just that one little extra wrinkle and fold
9:54
Speaker 5: into that defense.
9:55
Speaker 4: Is going to be good.
9:56
Speaker 5: You're going to see a good statistic ken from him.
9:58
Speaker 6: You know mathwork, I love.
10:01
Speaker 3: I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but you're not sas guard
10:04
Speaker 3: to the Colts. Just in time for an NFL Network
10:07
Speaker 3: game and the Berlin crowd getting to see him versus
10:09
Speaker 3: Drake London and I do want to talk more about
10:11
Speaker 3: the Colts defense. We've given so much attention to the
10:14
Speaker 3: offense over the year. How about Laatu Latu, the second
10:17
Speaker 3: year pass rusher who is really breaking out this season.
10:21
Speaker 3: He is in the top ten in the entire NFL
10:24
Speaker 3: in pressures. He's coming off a big sack performance against
10:27
Speaker 3: the Steelers. He's a defensive end with two interceptions this year.
10:31
Speaker 3: You like, find your guy who can do a little
10:33
Speaker 3: bit of everything. It really reminds me how well Chris
10:37
Speaker 3: Ballard did in that draft a year ago, because Lastu Latsu,
10:40
Speaker 3: the first defender taken, really coming on. And then they
10:43
Speaker 3: drafted two offensive line starters in the interior in the
10:46
Speaker 3: third and fourth round, in including Tanner Bordolini, who might
10:49
Speaker 3: make an All Pro team. So it's not just about
10:51
Speaker 3: the superstars. They've got a lot of good supplementary players.
10:54
Speaker 5: It's almost like if you, you know, get a homegrown
10:56
Speaker 5: great player and you keep them, good things happen.
10:58
Speaker 4: I don't know, I'm just call me crazy.
11:01
Speaker 2: You acquire the talent, you utilize that talent to trying
11:04
Speaker 2: to win. And the conspiracy theorists out there taking the
11:07
Speaker 2: breadcrumbs from Greg Now, the folks that are like, oh
11:10
Speaker 2: this the color is in the border of the arts,
11:12
Speaker 2: feel it's all gonna happen. Everything's I've got Colts, I've
11:17
Speaker 2: got a similar score. I think they score in that
11:20
Speaker 2: area there, twenty seven twenty three. Because you know what,
11:23
Speaker 2: Dimes is not going to play as poorly as he
11:26
Speaker 2: did last week against the Pittsburgh So that would have
11:29
Speaker 2: been a bad Dimes game when he was with the Giants.
11:32
Speaker 2: He was when he was pressured. He completed just thirteen
11:35
Speaker 2: attempts for eighty eight yards and two interceptions. But in
11:38
Speaker 2: a clean pocket, the performance was much better. And there
11:41
Speaker 2: was a time where we would get safety Dimes on
11:44
Speaker 2: the retreat trying to be extra safe. I think maybe
11:48
Speaker 2: that was more play caller than player in that one,
11:51
Speaker 2: and Shane Stychen is not gonna let his guy go
11:53
Speaker 2: out like that. Across the board, we are taking the
11:55
Speaker 2: Indianapolis Colts against the Falcons.
11:57
Speaker 7: Colts, moving Crisp to the line of scrimmage under three
12:00
Speaker 7: minutes remaining here in the fourth quarter, they get everybody
12:04
Speaker 7: in place at the two fifty, Marcus Jones gets a
12:06
Speaker 7: snap back to pass, looking pressure coming throws and his intercepted.
12:11
Speaker 10: Joey Porter Junior first interception of the season at the
12:15
Speaker 10: forty yard line of the Steelers.
12:17
Speaker 7: As the Steelers now.
12:19
Speaker 2: With another turnover. How many macs one for the other
12:22
Speaker 2: thumb six on the day they were expecting that they
12:27
Speaker 2: had the sixth thing plan Tom for sees the season
12:29
Speaker 2: presented by Casars Sportsbook. The first touchdown score for the
12:33
Speaker 2: game between the Steelers and the Chargers. It is the
12:35
Speaker 2: all time leader in the history of running the football
12:38
Speaker 2: in the single season at Troy University. Come on, he
12:40
Speaker 2: Man Dell, Jalen Warren, Lad McConkie, DK Metcalf and Arondez
12:44
Speaker 2: Gadsden the second there as it's a couple of running
12:48
Speaker 2: backs at the top and then three guys have catched
12:50
Speaker 2: them all Steelers Chargers Sunday night right over there. It's
12:52
Speaker 2: so far Rodgers and Company shot the top seed to
12:55
Speaker 2: Colts last week. Do they come into La and take
12:58
Speaker 2: down herbosynth.
13:00
Speaker 5: Yes, I have a two point win for the Steelers
13:03
Speaker 5: twenty four two. I want to talk about the defense
13:06
Speaker 5: why because you saw it with that interception.
13:09
Speaker 4: It was really caused by a bunch of pressure up front.
13:12
Speaker 5: And we're gonna play like a very sad song for
13:15
Speaker 5: this Chargers ole line because Joe Walt being out is
13:17
Speaker 5: a huge deal. He the difference when he's playing when
13:21
Speaker 5: he's not. It's a ten percentage point increase, just about
13:24
Speaker 5: a ten percentage point increase in the amount of pressure
13:27
Speaker 5: that Justin Herbert is under. And these guys are now
13:30
Speaker 5: figuring it out. They really like getting into a good guru.
13:34
Speaker 5: They really got into it last week and caused just
13:36
Speaker 5: a whole bunch of problems for Daniel Jones. Justin Herbert
13:39
Speaker 5: has been under a ton of pressure. I think that continues,
13:42
Speaker 5: thus leading to a two point in a two point
13:44
Speaker 5: win for the Steelers.
13:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hate to go against Herbo. I love Rudion
13:48
Speaker 3: a Chargers. He's clearly the best quarterback in this game
13:51
Speaker 3: by a lot. He's playing at an MVP level. And yeah,
13:53
Speaker 3: I'm taking the Steelers because you just mentioned all the
13:56
Speaker 3: reasons why the Chargers offense could struggle. How about this
13:58
Speaker 3: Chargers defense one of the worst in the league against
14:01
Speaker 3: the run and Jalen Warren and this pits for Steelers
14:04
Speaker 3: ground game has been very consistent all season, fourth in
14:09
Speaker 3: the league.
14:09
Speaker 6: Jalen Warren in.
14:10
Speaker 3: Mistackles forced per carry, and they love getting out there
14:14
Speaker 3: with those jumbo packages. And the Chargers don't like matching personnel,
14:19
Speaker 3: and so they're gonna stay in what they do, and
14:21
Speaker 3: you get Darnell Washington. You got a sixth offensive lineman
14:23
Speaker 3: out there. And Patrick Claybond will tell you again and
14:26
Speaker 3: again with his anti Jalen Warren.
14:29
Speaker 6: Propaganda that he's just a guy, but he's not a guy.
14:33
Speaker 3: I'm the president of the Jalen Warren Committee to make
14:36
Speaker 3: the Pro Bowl in twenty twenty five. No matter what
14:39
Speaker 3: Patrick says, don't listen to him.
14:41
Speaker 2: Listen to Greg taking a conversation from two years ago
14:44
Speaker 2: completely out of context. I like Jalen Warren. I think
14:47
Speaker 2: the Steelers may score some points. I don't think there
14:49
Speaker 2: were score more points than the Los Angeles Chargers. I
14:52
Speaker 2: love the Chargers win, and I will be all alone
14:55
Speaker 2: and be comfortable with it because doing it all by
14:57
Speaker 2: yourself is what Justin Herbert is gonna have to do,
15:00
Speaker 2: and that's what he's kind of done for big parts
15:02
Speaker 2: of the season. This is the regular standard version of
15:06
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert. This is this is the dangerous version, the
15:09
Speaker 2: most dangerous version. And yeah, relying on Trevor Penning to
15:12
Speaker 2: come over and save your season at tackle is a
15:14
Speaker 2: dangerous situation. But on the move, when he's extending plays
15:18
Speaker 2: longer than four seconds and buying time. He's got more
15:21
Speaker 2: touchdowns in that situation than anyone else in the league,
15:24
Speaker 2: So I'm fine. I do think like you guys, the
15:26
Speaker 2: Steelers will score around twenty points. I think the Chargers
15:30
Speaker 2: get more points at home and get a win. Seize

15:46
Speaker 2: waiting on the snap.
15:48
Speaker 8: If he takes the snap, he looks to the left
15:50
Speaker 8: and he throws it for five packs on a real
15:52
Speaker 8: and he drops it in the mid section for a
15:54
Speaker 8: Patrons touchdown.
15:57
Speaker 2: Sex Sell Damn sex Steeves put to the left, may
16:02
Speaker 2: have to throw fires over the middle.
16:04
Speaker 9: Pitchership to Ditch jeronesis cross to the outside, Dogs byline
16:10
Speaker 9: touch down, Patrians to Ruckley Dicks to get outside of
16:14
Speaker 9: the pieline.
16:17
Speaker 2: Drake May and the Patriots on a six game win streak.
16:19
Speaker 2: They're heading to Tampa to take on Baker and the Bucks.
16:22
Speaker 2: It was Greg Rosenthal who said a year ago, Drake
16:26
Speaker 2: May is the only thing that Matt Well now the
16:28
Speaker 2: team is mattering, Greg They're in the play for the
16:31
Speaker 2: number one overall seed. Do they win in Tampa.
16:34
Speaker 6: I don't think they do.
16:35
Speaker 3: I think it's a reality check, and that's okay. They're
16:37
Speaker 3: seven to two. This is the first really good team
16:39
Speaker 3: they've played in a month. And part of the reason
16:41
Speaker 3: I don't have faith is because of the offensive line
16:43
Speaker 3: in front of Drake may So. It's twenty seven to
16:46
Speaker 3: twenty four Bucks. I think it's a good game. But
16:48
Speaker 3: he has taken sixteen sacks in the last three weeks alone.
16:54
Speaker 3: He has taken the second most amount of sacks in
16:56
Speaker 3: the entire NFL this season. Remember last year we said
17:00
Speaker 3: that is one of the worst Patriots offensive lines I
17:02
Speaker 3: have ever seen. He's actually taken as many sacks this
17:04
Speaker 3: year already as he did in three more starts last
17:08
Speaker 3: year as a rookie. And then you think about the matchup,
17:11
Speaker 3: and I see communication problems up front with young players
17:14
Speaker 3: rookies Will Campbell Wilson at guard, and you go against
17:17
Speaker 3: Todd Bowles and this defense. I think it's just gonna
17:19
Speaker 3: be a little bit of a reality check in that
17:21
Speaker 3: they won't protect.
17:22
Speaker 6: Him well enough.
17:23
Speaker 2: I've got a Tampa Bay win as well by three
17:26
Speaker 2: twenty six to twenty three, and Drake May takes those
17:28
Speaker 2: sacks because Drake May tries to hit on runs. He's
17:31
Speaker 2: a great deep passer, but they're going up against the
17:34
Speaker 2: team that has a great player that teams are absolutely
17:37
Speaker 2: avoiding right now, in Antoine Winfield Junior, in the middle
17:40
Speaker 2: of the field, he's less than five percent of his
17:43
Speaker 2: covered snaps he gets targeted. He's right there, sitting about
17:46
Speaker 2: fifteen yards off the line of scrimmage in the middle
17:49
Speaker 2: of the field, and teams are going elsewhere, and even
17:51
Speaker 2: when they do, all right, he can get over there
17:53
Speaker 2: to sideline and make plays. I think the defense does
17:55
Speaker 2: enough to get another Baker Mayfield fourth quarter win.
17:59
Speaker 4: Cynthia, well, go ahead and give me the prime number.
18:04
Speaker 5: Twenty six to twenty five in this one, because kind
18:07
Speaker 5: of everything that you.
18:08
Speaker 4: Guys said is true.
18:09
Speaker 5: Of course, the old line is giving up a bunch
18:11
Speaker 5: of sacks, and of course Antoine Winfield is also very good.
18:14
Speaker 4: But I don't know if Drake maybe like even cares
18:16
Speaker 4: or knows.
18:17
Speaker 5: About this, because in those games when he's taken a
18:19
Speaker 5: bunch of sacks, he still has over two hundred passing
18:21
Speaker 5: yards and an over one hundred passer rating.
18:23
Speaker 4: In fact, he's kind of setting records.
18:25
Speaker 5: He's tied for the second longest streak of such kind
18:27
Speaker 5: of efficiency all time. So I'm not sure it's not
18:32
Speaker 5: to say, like maybe he just doesn't he just doesn't
18:34
Speaker 5: register at as a problem. And I'm looking at this
18:36
Speaker 5: and I'm saying, what does this remind me of? You
18:38
Speaker 5: guys talk about liking Matthew Stafford, Well, you know what,
18:41
Speaker 5: Drake may is exceptionally good at like just like in
18:43
Speaker 5: that Matthew Stafford roal met the play after being pressured,
18:47
Speaker 5: completing a pass the play after being pressured, making it
18:50
Speaker 5: so that his team earns a first down or touchdown.
18:52
Speaker 6: He didn't care.
18:52
Speaker 4: I mean, maybe he cares, but doesn't seem to matter.
18:55
Speaker 4: He's he's feeling either way.
18:57
Speaker 2: I think there's a small part of this like, oh no,
18:59
Speaker 2: we lost twelve yards, so now I gotta throw deep.
19:01
Speaker 6: Oh no, this is the first prime number. I'm rooting
19:05
Speaker 6: for it. By the way, officially, for the of this one, it's.
19:08
Speaker 2: Time for Who's Eating Good? Presented by Applebee's Cynthia. Let's
19:12
Speaker 2: talk about the other quarterback, Well, Baker Mayfield pass for
19:14
Speaker 2: more or less than two hundred and forty seven yards
19:17
Speaker 2: on Sunday.
19:17
Speaker 5: I think he passes for more than that. I think
19:19
Speaker 5: it's going to be a close, higher scoring game, which
19:21
Speaker 5: would mean lots more passing for everyone.
19:24
Speaker 4: Though beware, he has had some interesting results.
19:26
Speaker 5: He's targeted intermediate passes quite a bit, and that's an
19:30
Speaker 5: area that the Patriots have actually been good at defending.
19:32
Speaker 5: So you know, spread the love around a little bit more.
19:34
Speaker 5: See who's actually playing. But I mean, I still like
19:36
Speaker 5: a mechic Buka. Just score a touchdown in this one too.
19:41
Speaker 8: Henry Alongasacfia, Jake Lawers throws in motion now re versus
19:44
Speaker 8: close to the right, Lamar rolls out to the right,
19:46
Speaker 8: rows quickly touchdown Mark Andrews watch it in the ten
19:52
Speaker 8: pt Andrews in touchdown rivings. Two for two for Mark Andrews.
19:58
Speaker 8: Lamar to throw lot to the MZO. It's a tree off,
20:02
Speaker 8: tight end touchdown. Lamar SLINKs it to the end zone touchdownriving.
20:10
Speaker 2: It's sid for the Reid presented by Microsoft co Pilot.
20:13
Speaker 2: Microsoft co Pilot, your AI companion for NFL Game Day
20:16
Speaker 2: and every day, we asked which matchup would decide the
20:19
Speaker 2: Ravens Vikings game and co pilot highlighted the Minnesota receivers
20:22
Speaker 2: against Baltimore's secondary, a unit that's given up a lot
20:25
Speaker 2: of big pass plays this season, going up against Justin Jefferson,
20:28
Speaker 2: among the league's best in that category. Let's Talphomore Ravens Vikings.
20:33
Speaker 2: Both squads looked great and wins last week. Both are
20:36
Speaker 2: trying to stay in the playoff hunt, and I will
20:38
Speaker 2: lead off with what I believe is a narrow win
20:40
Speaker 2: for the Ravens twenty seven to twenty six. The Ravens
20:43
Speaker 2: relying on the offense and the thing that the offense
20:45
Speaker 2: is best at, play action. Lamar Jackson is still completing
20:49
Speaker 2: ninety percent of this passes. When Baltimore runs play action,
20:53
Speaker 2: He's twenty nine to thirty two for four hundred and
20:55
Speaker 2: seventy eight yards and seven touchdowns. The Vikings have given
20:58
Speaker 2: up five scores and only one interception this season on
21:02
Speaker 2: play action. Necessarily, think they're gonna lock down JJ McCarthy
21:07
Speaker 2: a company, but enough Cynthia to get a win.
21:09
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think that JJ McCarthy could be good.
21:12
Speaker 5: I have him scoring twenty one points, but I have
21:14
Speaker 5: the Ravens scoring twenty six points.
21:16
Speaker 4: Which is five more points than them.
21:18
Speaker 5: I'm looking at Derrick Henry in this matchup, and here's
21:21
Speaker 5: the difference between what you saw from the Lions and
21:24
Speaker 5: what you'll see from the Ravens. Number One, you have
21:27
Speaker 5: eight quarterbacks that is a rushing threat on every single down,
21:29
Speaker 5: which is not something you had with the Lions. So
21:31
Speaker 5: now you have to figure out, Okay, are we gonna
21:33
Speaker 5: try to stop Derrick Henry, We're going to try to
21:35
Speaker 5: stop Lamar Jackson.
21:36
Speaker 4: What are we gonna do? What are we gonna do?
21:37
Speaker 5: And I think that Derrick Henry just rolls in those situations.
21:41
Speaker 5: So for me, this is a big Derrick Henry game.
21:43
Speaker 5: The matchup is something where they're gonna they're gonna have
21:45
Speaker 5: to pick their poison. Good luck trying to figure out
21:48
Speaker 5: how to stop both of them. I think that this
21:49
Speaker 5: dual threat situation is too much for the Minnesota defense.
21:53
Speaker 4: Derrick Henry rolls.
21:54
Speaker 6: Yeah.
21:54
Speaker 3: Initially I thought the Vikings would keep it rolling, and
21:57
Speaker 3: then I saw the JJ McCarthy alter ego thing, and
22:00
Speaker 3: I thought, oh, Ravens are winning this ball game, and
22:03
Speaker 3: it's partly because of the deep Kyle Hamilton.
22:05
Speaker 6: He's mister fix it.
22:06
Speaker 3: When you have an issue on your defense, you just hey, Kyle,
22:10
Speaker 3: can you go fix everything for us? Last year it
22:13
Speaker 3: was backing them up having him played deeper. Suddenly the
22:16
Speaker 3: pass defense is better this year. It's putting them closer
22:19
Speaker 3: to the line of scrimmage. In the first five weeks
22:21
Speaker 3: of the season, the Ravens were dead last in terms
22:25
Speaker 3: of EPA for play allowed on the ground, like the
22:28
Speaker 3: worst run defense in the league. Since they moved them
22:30
Speaker 3: up the last three games, they're third. I mean, it's
22:34
Speaker 3: it can't be all that simple. Rokwan Smith getting healthy
22:37
Speaker 3: and playing really well is a huge part of it too.
22:39
Speaker 3: But man, Kyle Hamilton is so valuable for this team,
22:43
Speaker 3: and I think he'll make the Vikings one dimensional and
22:45
Speaker 3: more valuable.
22:46
Speaker 2: Again. We're having fun with the JJ McCarthy alter ego
22:49
Speaker 2: thing because it's fun.
22:50
Speaker 6: Nine yes, nine nice.
22:54
Speaker 2: Summoning the evil energy from his time out being injured.
22:58
Speaker 2: The Ravens and Vikings projected to be one of the
23:01
Speaker 2: highest scoring games of the week, according to our friends
23:03
Speaker 2: at season. Let's take a look at the highest scoring
23:06
Speaker 2: ones the Bengals want to buy some of the first
23:08
Speaker 2: time they're not on this graphic. The Bills, Dolphins, Lions, Commanders, Rams, Niners, Ravens,
23:14
Speaker 2: Vikings right there at forty nine points, Falcots, Colts and
23:16
Speaker 2: Patriots Buccaneers rounding out the highest totals of the week.
23:20
Speaker 2: It's time for two minute drill presented by vat Wells
23:23
Speaker 2: Fargo Active Cash credit card allow us to make some
23:26
Speaker 2: quick picks for you. The Lions of commanders Marcus mare
23:29
Speaker 2: starting for the injury j and Daniel Cynthia. The Lions
23:31
Speaker 2: have lost two of their last three. What do they
23:33
Speaker 2: do here?
23:34
Speaker 4: A touchdown win twenty eight to twenty one.
23:37
Speaker 5: Let's talk about Aman Rossing Brown in this matchup, Well,
23:40
Speaker 5: the Commander's defense, let's just say they're giving up like
23:43
Speaker 5: all of the yards per carry, it's so over eight
23:45
Speaker 5: and a half excuse me, yards per reception.
23:47
Speaker 4: And I'm looking at Amon Rossing Brown.
23:49
Speaker 5: I'm thinking, okay, Johnny Morton took taking a little heat
23:52
Speaker 5: from not being able to get it going last week.
23:54
Speaker 4: And you know what happens when they bounce back. Just
23:56
Speaker 4: go to your best receiver.
23:58
Speaker 5: Let fourteen do the work, and I think that's what
24:00
Speaker 5: will happen in this matchup is such a great one
24:03
Speaker 5: from the standpoint of who gonna catch the passes.
24:05
Speaker 4: I think you could have a lot.
24:06
Speaker 5: Of fun with maybe even another Jamis and William touchdowns
24:08
Speaker 5: as well. But I'm on ras Saint Brown, big difference
24:11
Speaker 5: maker in this one.
24:12
Speaker 2: There, We're all with you with the Lions. Let's go
24:14
Speaker 2: to the Cardinals and the Seahawks. Seattle has one three straight.
24:17
Speaker 2: Do they make it four? Correct?
24:18
Speaker 6: They absolutely do. I think it'll be tougher than that.
24:21
Speaker 3: Six and a half points maybe indicates Cardinals keep it close,
24:24
Speaker 3: but ultimately they win in part because of their new
24:27
Speaker 3: addition Rashid Shahed. Love what he has done as a
24:31
Speaker 3: New Orleans Saints and love that he's adding to a
24:34
Speaker 3: team that already led the league in air yards per attempt.
24:38
Speaker 3: Here's an outrageous stat for you. Rashid Shahed is the
24:42
Speaker 3: leader in all of NFL history in terms of average
24:46
Speaker 3: yards of scrimmage touchdowns. You know, as long as you
24:49
Speaker 3: got ten, his average touchdown is over forty seven yards.
24:54
Speaker 3: That is just outrageous explosion. And I don't think the
24:57
Speaker 3: quarterbacks in New Orleans have really fully taken advantage of it.
25:01
Speaker 3: I think Sam Darnold will, so I just don't want
25:03
Speaker 3: them score any short touchdowns and ruining that number. Only
25:07
Speaker 3: fifty plus yard touchdowns for ashg.
25:10
Speaker 2: Gotnathan mel Gray in that category and his numbers if
25:13
Speaker 2: you go look him up, we're absolutely bananas. I'll take
25:15
Speaker 2: the Jags and the Texans. CD Shroud unfortunately out for
25:18
Speaker 2: this one, so Davis Mills will start, and that's a
25:21
Speaker 2: big factor in why I'm taking the Jacksonville Jaguars fourteen
25:24
Speaker 2: to twelve. I would like to discuss Travis et In
25:28
Speaker 2: with you. You may look at the stat sheet from
25:31
Speaker 2: his game against the Raiders and think twenty two carries
25:33
Speaker 2: for eighty four yards was okay. He broke nine tackles
25:36
Speaker 2: to get eighty four yards. Forty three of his eighty
25:39
Speaker 2: four yards were after breaking tackles in a game the
25:42
Speaker 2: Jags barely won. I think he will also contribute in
25:45
Speaker 2: a narrow win in the division, as I'm all alone
25:49
Speaker 2: taking the Jacksonville Jaguars. Snooze off game on the NFL
25:54
Speaker 2: takes the field in Berlin for the first time as
25:57
Speaker 2: the Falcons square off against the Colts in a historic
25:59
Speaker 2: early morning showdown. Get ready to wake up and watch,
26:02
Speaker 2: because here our stars come out out in the morning.
26:05
Speaker 2: It's Sunday Morning Football. Sunday nine thirty am Eastern only
26:09
Speaker 2: on NFL Network and streaming on NFL Plus. Subscription required
26:12
Speaker 2: for NFL Plus visit plus dot NFL dot com for
26:17
Speaker 2: hern It is time for more or less. We have
26:21
Speaker 2: acquired our foam fingers here on stage five, so we
26:24
Speaker 2: will discuss some player props for the Falcons Colts game
26:26
Speaker 2: in Berlin. First up is Cynthia Freeland. John Robinson limited
26:30
Speaker 2: to just forty six yards last week on the ground.
26:33
Speaker 2: Does he go over sixty seven?
26:35
Speaker 5: Well, he's got some weird splits, but I do think
26:37
Speaker 5: he goes over that number in this matchup. I'm looking
26:41
Speaker 5: at the opportunity against the Colt Snow and I'm watching
26:44
Speaker 5: what Michael Pennix has done. And on third down he's
26:47
Speaker 5: averaged six point four yards to go when he's throwing
26:50
Speaker 5: behind the line of behind the sticks. It's just making
26:52
Speaker 5: no sense. So run the football more use your guy.
26:55
Speaker 5: I think it's more than sixty eight rushing yards. Again,
26:58
Speaker 5: the splitz are weird. I feel better at scrimmageyards, but
27:00
Speaker 5: we'll go thrush.
27:01
Speaker 2: All right, Let's go to Greg Rosenthal. More or less
27:03
Speaker 2: than nine three rushing yards for Jonathan Taylor.
27:06
Speaker 3: You know the Steelers had a great plan to stop him.
27:08
Speaker 3: I do not think the Falcons will be able to
27:10
Speaker 3: have that same plan. So I am going more than
27:13
Speaker 3: ninety three and a half rushing yards. The thing with
27:16
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor, he only needs to have one or two
27:20
Speaker 3: big runs to get over this number.
27:22
Speaker 6: That's the type of explosion that he has.
27:24
Speaker 3: The second level blocking by the by the Colts has
27:26
Speaker 3: been great, not great on defense stopping the run for
27:29
Speaker 3: the Falcons all year.
27:30
Speaker 6: So yes, in Berlin, where my dad was born, who
27:35
Speaker 6: wasn't there long?
27:36
Speaker 3: A little longer than Cynthia'll be there this weekend. But yes,
27:39
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor over all.
27:41
Speaker 2: Right, let's go to the Falcons again. Drake London put
27:43
Speaker 2: on a clinic last week against the Patriots. The number
27:46
Speaker 2: here is seventy receiving yards, and I will go more.
27:49
Speaker 2: I think that the Falcons will need to throw. I
27:52
Speaker 2: don't think that Sauce Gardner is necessarily going to be
27:55
Speaker 2: any concern because the Falcons do two things. Be befuddling
27:58
Speaker 2: and throw the ball to the outside to Drake London,
28:01
Speaker 2: where that's just where it's going. Sometimes it feels like
28:04
Speaker 2: you could cut out large portions of the field and
28:06
Speaker 2: the Falcons would still look the exact same. So yeah,
28:09
Speaker 2: I think more than seventy for Drake London. And a
28:13
Speaker 2: reminder to everybody to get up early Sunday morning and
28:16
Speaker 2: also set your lineups to watch Falcons and Colt live
28:19
Speaker 2: from Berlin kickoff at nine thirty am Eastern. Then next
28:22
Speaker 2: week catch the Commanders and the Dolphins from Madrid. You
28:25
Speaker 2: can watch both games on NFL Network as well as
28:28
Speaker 2: NFL Plus.
28:31
Speaker 8: William slings it, Loveland bows off his man, He's gonna
28:35
Speaker 8: score home, Colston Lovelan.
28:40
Speaker 10: In ain't sean trapper fifty eight yards on the catch
28:45
Speaker 10: and run from the rookie and another meltdown by the
28:50
Speaker 10: Cincinnati defense. This is one of the craziest games we
28:54
Speaker 10: have seen in the NFL in recent memory.
28:58
Speaker 2: Son for Once Ahead, presented by a Credit One Bank
29:01
Speaker 2: Giants Bears, that Soldier Field Chicago. Coming of that wild
29:05
Speaker 2: game with the Bengals, Jackson Dart as must see TV.
29:07
Speaker 2: But did you see the Bears last week? I believe
29:10
Speaker 2: it's another score fist. I've got thirty one to twenty
29:13
Speaker 2: nine because a lot like the Bengals defense. And shout
29:17
Speaker 2: out to the fan that said that they won't misstackles
29:21
Speaker 2: defense will the Bears are non standard as well. They
29:23
Speaker 2: do fun stuff. Caleb Williams is at his best when
29:26
Speaker 2: the play is breaking down, and against a defense that's
29:29
Speaker 2: pretty inconsistent in New York. They're rough against the run.
29:32
Speaker 2: They're really bad against deep passing, have been for a
29:34
Speaker 2: couple of years now. I feel great about this. Even
29:37
Speaker 2: though my scores raizor close the Bears narrowly winning thirty
29:42
Speaker 2: one to twenty nine.
29:42
Speaker 5: I have a little bit more of a comfortable win there.
29:44
Speaker 5: I have the Bears winning twenty seven to twenty two,
29:47
Speaker 5: and I've made a promise. I'm going to keep talking
29:49
Speaker 5: about running outside on this Giants defense until they improve it.
29:54
Speaker 4: So let's just do that again.
29:55
Speaker 5: Because Kyle Manungui showed us that if it's him getting
29:58
Speaker 5: to start or no matter who's playing running back for
30:01
Speaker 5: their maybe I think if Greg were playing running back
30:03
Speaker 5: for the Bears, well, Gregs, he's getting you know where
30:05
Speaker 5: he'd run to the outside. You know why he'd run
30:08
Speaker 5: to the outside, because the Giants are giving up.
30:11
Speaker 4: Like historic numbers to the outside.
30:13
Speaker 5: If you're looking at every metric that matters, all the
30:15
Speaker 5: explosive plays, all of the yards after contact, all the
30:18
Speaker 5: yards before contact, all of the rushing yards over expected,
30:21
Speaker 5: just anything that you can imagine, the number of last
30:24
Speaker 5: or the one where the Giants are the most generous.
30:27
Speaker 4: Here's a gift. Just run to the outside against is
30:29
Speaker 4: We're we're actually not going to try to stop you.
30:31
Speaker 5: So until they do that, I promise you, I'm gonna
30:34
Speaker 5: keep talking about that.
30:34
Speaker 2: And whoever the.
30:35
Speaker 4: Giants play, this is this is my week.
30:37
Speaker 3: This is my week to I know DeAndre Swift is
30:39
Speaker 3: coming back from injury, but Ben Johnson put me in,
30:43
Speaker 3: put me in the backfield. Anyone that runs behind Darnell
30:45
Speaker 3: Right at right tackle, and this improving offensive line is
30:49
Speaker 3: going to be absolutely fantastic. This right tackle is turning
30:53
Speaker 3: into one of the biggest playmakers on the team. It's
30:56
Speaker 3: not often we're talking about the big guy upfront, but
30:59
Speaker 3: he is just putting people into the dirt and sometimes
31:03
Speaker 3: like these.
31:04
Speaker 6: People have families, Darnell, I mean, be easy on the guy.
31:08
Speaker 3: It is really impressive to see a plan come together
31:12
Speaker 3: and a coaching staff really improve on the talent that
31:15
Speaker 3: was already there. And that's what I think that's happened
31:17
Speaker 3: for Darnell Right especially, and I hope this is the
31:20
Speaker 3: one that I'm looking at a watch out.
31:24
Speaker 6: By the way, Caleb on that.
31:25
Speaker 3: Game winner, that's an absolutely ridiculous yes throw for a
31:28
Speaker 3: guy who doesn't always hit it right on his back foot.
31:31
Speaker 6: I mean, not many quarterbacks canna make that throw. So
31:33
Speaker 6: way to go.
31:34
Speaker 2: Caleb, and way to go Greg and getting the spot
31:36
Speaker 2: shadow highlights on a tackle. Not in draft season like
31:40
Speaker 2: it's like, I'm like Poplop. It's making me think about
31:43
Speaker 2: draft boards. Getting everybody ready. That's why you take somebody
31:46
Speaker 2: like Darnel right, a big part of that Bears game
31:49
Speaker 2: coming up. We're not just monsters of the midway. We're
31:51
Speaker 2: at the midway point up the season, so it's time
31:54
Speaker 2: to reassess. We've learned a lot these past nine weeks,
31:57
Speaker 2: so we're giving you our updated pitch for who's gonna
32:00
Speaker 2: win MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, and more, and
32:04
Speaker 2: we will give those to you when we'd come back.
32:07
Speaker 2: You're watching game debut. We are officially at the halfway
32:18
Speaker 2: mark of the season, so it's time to forecast who
32:20
Speaker 2: we think is going to walk away with some hardware
32:23
Speaker 2: at the end of the year. Let's start with MVP
32:25
Speaker 2: Cynthia as well as I would like to side with
32:29
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford. Only, wow, Greg, you're going with one Patrick Mahomes.
32:33
Speaker 3: I am because this is a predictive thing we're doing,
32:36
Speaker 3: we're not saying so far. And I think Patrick Mahomes
32:39
Speaker 3: is the best player I've ever seen come into the league.
32:42
Speaker 3: And I'm a loyal guy, and I've been married seventeen years,
32:46
Speaker 3: I've been in an NFL network thirteen years, and I
32:50
Speaker 3: picked Patrick Mahomes before the season. Nothing that he's done
32:54
Speaker 3: so far would make me move off of that pick.
32:57
Speaker 3: In fact, the offensive line, the weapons around him. In fact,
33:00
Speaker 3: Josh Simmons, by the way, is back with the team,
33:02
Speaker 3: so that's good news for the offense line. All makes
33:05
Speaker 3: me think that by the end of the year, he's
33:08
Speaker 3: gonna have numbers that are just undeniable and they're gonna
33:11
Speaker 3: win a lot of games in the end. So you
33:14
Speaker 3: just got to go with the younger guys. You know,
33:16
Speaker 3: he's the younger, better version of Stafford. Sorry, why are
33:19
Speaker 3: you sorry?
33:20
Speaker 2: So to clarify, this is not a should, this is
33:24
Speaker 2: a will.
33:24
Speaker 6: This is a will. This is a will will win
33:26
Speaker 6: MVP and just got put it down as.
33:30
Speaker 4: Also answered it as who will.
33:31
Speaker 2: Okay, so all wills, no shoulds here. Let's move to
33:35
Speaker 2: the defensive Player of the Year. We've got different picks.
33:38
Speaker 2: You like Greg's good friend Nick Benito.
33:40
Speaker 5: Well number one, anyone who makes fun of Greg, we're
33:43
Speaker 5: pals on this one. But Nick Benito is making a
33:46
Speaker 5: very strong case for the award with his pressure rate
33:49
Speaker 5: up there, with the sacks up there, with his ability
33:53
Speaker 5: to just absolutely crush the hopes of quarterbacks and Greg.
33:57
Speaker 5: You know that does help a little bit, Like you
33:59
Speaker 5: tweet at Greg, Greg, we're gonna put you on the
34:01
Speaker 5: show and we're gonna love you a ton. But I
34:03
Speaker 5: also like his grill, which is really fun. And look,
34:06
Speaker 5: I'm kind of being silly here. It's his play on
34:09
Speaker 5: the field that I think has really stood out. This
34:11
Speaker 5: is obviously a very good defense. They might go, you know,
34:14
Speaker 5: wire to wire pretty much being a top three defense
34:17
Speaker 5: in pressure rate and in large part because Benito with
34:21
Speaker 5: Zach Allen, with all these things working together. But he's
34:24
Speaker 5: kind of the straw that's storing the drink. So and
34:26
Speaker 5: it makes ton of gregs so we like that too.
34:27
Speaker 2: Yes, always a hit on this particular stage. I'll take
34:31
Speaker 2: the last one. Offensive rookie of the year. Greg's going
34:34
Speaker 2: with t Max. Cynthia and I are going with a
34:35
Speaker 2: Mecca Buka because what a pairing he has been with
34:38
Speaker 2: an aggressive quarterback like Baker Mayfield. And I know you
34:41
Speaker 2: may be saying, Patrick, this is will, this is not
34:44
Speaker 2: should and Jackson Dark plays quarterback. Yes, I understand all
34:48
Speaker 2: of that, but I do think we go back to
34:51
Speaker 2: the remember the CJ. Stroud Puka Nakua discussion and all
34:55
Speaker 2: the things that Puka would ultimately have to do. I
34:58
Speaker 2: think going back and looking at this and the way
35:01
Speaker 2: that they're playing, he's not just catching getting tight window targets,
35:05
Speaker 2: he's actually catching them as well. I've got a Mecca
35:07
Speaker 2: Buka to win this.
35:08
Speaker 5: It also really helps if you make the playoffs right,
35:10
Speaker 5: because when you vote on it is the end of
35:11
Speaker 5: the regular season typically, So that's why to me and
35:14
Speaker 5: Mecca Luka is the one.
35:15
Speaker 6: You know what else would help?
35:17
Speaker 3: Knowing like I do that t Mac is going to
35:19
Speaker 3: have about eight hundred more yards this season and finish
35:22
Speaker 3: up with thirteen hundred and take this award in the end.
35:24
Speaker 2: He knows what he's doing. He knows what he's doing.
35:26
Speaker 2: Now here's the look at the current favorites for a
35:29
Speaker 2: majority of the season long awards.
35:32
Speaker 6: Oh, Josh, any of them?
35:34
Speaker 2: Seventy five, Michah Parsons. There is Jackson Dart right along
35:38
Speaker 2: with his teammate Abdula Carter. That's terrible, Shane Stuck.
35:42
Speaker 3: No, so the heater you're out there voters like Dart
35:44
Speaker 3: should not be the favorite.
35:46
Speaker 6: He shouldn't win. I don't think Carter should be the
35:48
Speaker 6: favorite either.
35:49
Speaker 2: But that's the thing. Yeah, it's he plays quarterback, and
35:52
Speaker 2: that's that's what all these awards are for, apparently quarterback.
35:56
Speaker 2: It's time for quick picks as we make some more
35:58
Speaker 2: quick picks here on game debut. The Browns and Jets
36:01
Speaker 2: are at MetLife. Gang Green went a little while at
36:03
Speaker 2: the trade deadline.
36:04
Speaker 5: What takes place in Well, the Browns they are going
36:07
Speaker 5: to win the football game twenty one to fourteen. I
36:09
Speaker 5: have a not just a prime number here, but a
36:12
Speaker 5: pretty significant.
36:13
Speaker 6: I'm number A touchdown a touchdown. You know what.
36:16
Speaker 4: Things are a little messy out there in New York.
36:20
Speaker 5: Yeah, you don't think so, okay, but Quinn Shawn Jenkins
36:22
Speaker 5: has been pretty great.
36:23
Speaker 4: If you're looking at the opportunity to get yards after.
36:26
Speaker 5: Contact, let me introduce you to a guy who's gotten
36:28
Speaker 5: ninety six percent of his yards after contact, second most
36:31
Speaker 5: of the league.
36:31
Speaker 4: He has four rushes of thirty plus yards. That's tied
36:34
Speaker 4: for most in the league.
36:35
Speaker 5: The Jets Quinna Williams isn't there to stop him. Do
36:37
Speaker 5: you guys know that when player gets traded away, they
36:40
Speaker 5: don't actually still play that week?
36:41
Speaker 6: That's fair.
36:42
Speaker 3: But Patrick made a very inspiring speech on NFL Daily
36:45
Speaker 3: that the Jets were going to be like the Cleveland
36:48
Speaker 3: baseball team in Major League And that's honestly, you know what.
36:52
Speaker 5: I don't know if anyone on those teams have seen
36:54
Speaker 5: that movie, because it might be a little before their time.
36:56
Speaker 4: But they don't get to play the player that they took.
37:00
Speaker 2: They tried. That's that's why Justin Fields is going to
37:03
Speaker 2: go up.
37:04
Speaker 4: Oh Miles Garrett still there right, yeh is?
37:06
Speaker 2: And there's only one thing left to do, well, win
37:09
Speaker 2: the whole thing. I'll take this. Saints and the Panthers
37:14
Speaker 2: all the chanther shock in the world last week in Lambeau.
37:18
Speaker 2: Do they keep it going here? Greg?
37:20
Speaker 6: They do?
37:21
Speaker 3: But I was interested to see that the Panthers are
37:23
Speaker 3: favored for the first time all season and it's by
37:25
Speaker 3: five and a half points, so I do think the
37:27
Speaker 3: Saints keep it closer. But let's give some love to
37:30
Speaker 3: the Panthers. First of all, have they had a video
37:32
Speaker 3: clip on this show all season?
37:33
Speaker 6: I don't even know. Their defense certainly hasn't.
37:36
Speaker 3: And you know what, they're mixing up their coverages better
37:39
Speaker 3: each and up every week.
37:40
Speaker 6: I think they're building.
37:42
Speaker 3: They've had some good continuity in terms of Giro Everro
37:45
Speaker 3: being there as their coordinator, and they have two good players.
37:47
Speaker 6: So what you're seeing here is j. C.
37:48
Speaker 3: Horn, who is turning into an all Pro type of cornerback,
37:52
Speaker 3: and then Tron Morrig who's been a really good free
37:54
Speaker 3: agent pickup, making a lot of plays in coverage and
37:58
Speaker 3: near the line of scrimmage, kind of.
37:59
Speaker 6: Like the nfc S Kyle Hamilton.
38:01
Speaker 3: He's not that guy, but he's that style of play
38:04
Speaker 3: and it's one of the reasons why they are over
38:06
Speaker 3: five hundred now.
38:07
Speaker 6: So let's go Panthers.
38:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, a nice season for the folks in Carolina. Let's
38:12
Speaker 2: go to the Bills and the Dolphins. Buffalo coming off
38:13
Speaker 2: with a big win over the Chiefs. I think they
38:16
Speaker 2: eked this one out, actually, twenty seven to twenty five
38:18
Speaker 2: off a closer score, because I would like to discuss
38:20
Speaker 2: Jalen Waddle and the opportunity against this Buffalo Bills secondary
38:24
Speaker 2: that looked incredible. Maxwell Harrison has come over and fixed
38:28
Speaker 2: everything against Kansas City, where maybe the abilities of the
38:35
Speaker 2: Kansas City receivers making moves getting open doesn't necessarily measure
38:40
Speaker 2: up to the teams that have been able to cause
38:41
Speaker 2: problems for Buffalo. I think Jalen Waddle and maybe one
38:44
Speaker 2: of the last games with Tua that's starring quarterback perhaps
38:49
Speaker 2: has a good opportunity here. But we're all on the Bills.
38:51
Speaker 2: When we come back, it's our favorite time of the week,
38:54
Speaker 2: it's time for write this down. We're dishing out our
38:56
Speaker 2: favorite player props for week ten. Greg and I have
38:59
Speaker 2: been hot and on fire the one place where recently
39:03
Speaker 2: we've been beating Cynthia nowhere else. We'll see what we
39:07
Speaker 2: all picked when we come back on game debut. Get
39:16
Speaker 2: a pennon paper. It's time for write this down as
39:18
Speaker 2: we have for you some prop predictions for week ten
39:21
Speaker 2: and starting.
39:22
Speaker 6: Us all, I've hit three in a row.
39:24
Speaker 3: I'm gonna make it four with Davis Mills and that
39:28
Speaker 3: that inspired laughter in our production meeting. I believe in
39:31
Speaker 3: Davis Mills. He started a lot of games early in
39:33
Speaker 3: his career, and I believe in the matchup against the
39:35
Speaker 3: Jacksonville Jaguars, I think getting ready to start. He hasn't
39:39
Speaker 3: started in about three seasons. But they trusted him enough
39:43
Speaker 3: that they gave him a long term extension because they.
39:46
Speaker 6: Like him, because he helped them win.
39:47
Speaker 3: A game that actually they didn't want to win, at
39:50
Speaker 3: least the ownership didn't, and that wound up getting him.
39:52
Speaker 9: C J.
39:53
Speaker 3: Stroud and you know what, we had a big conversation
39:55
Speaker 3: about next last week and I just got to say,
39:58
Speaker 3: I'm sticking my neck out for this game. And I
40:01
Speaker 3: don't think Davis Mills can be overlooked in any conversation,
40:04
Speaker 3: including about neck.
40:06
Speaker 4: He has an epic neck, that's for sure. All right.
40:08
Speaker 5: I need to get back on the right side of
40:10
Speaker 5: good here, and that is with Saquon Barkley to have
40:12
Speaker 5: more than two receptions, so at least three.
40:18
Speaker 4: What I'm sorry the next step?
40:20
Speaker 2: No, Greg? Greg? Greg had a one liner there.
40:23
Speaker 4: It was good sayings stuck my neck out, he stuck here. Okay,
40:26
Speaker 4: it was great, a good dad joke.
40:27
Speaker 5: We love it all right sake one Barkley more than
40:29
Speaker 5: two and a half for receptions. Who's going to catch
40:30
Speaker 5: at least three balls in this matchup? SA one has
40:33
Speaker 5: a good neck too. He doesn't want to be left
40:35
Speaker 5: out of this neck conversation. Maybe not an epic neck,
40:37
Speaker 5: but a very good one.
40:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know it helps you have good form on
40:40
Speaker 2: all your exercises. And a guy who got a lot
40:42
Speaker 2: of exercise over on our show, NFL Fantasy Live, which
40:45
Speaker 2: you can see week nights at six o'clock.
40:47
Speaker 4: Oh, there you go.
40:47
Speaker 2: I'm on an NFL network. We have a stat for
40:49
Speaker 2: the cardio king. We crown them an incredible number. For
40:53
Speaker 2: Romo Dunday last week he ran two thousand and nine
40:55
Speaker 2: yards and zero catches. I think he will have fifty
40:58
Speaker 2: three more than fifty three yards against the Giants. For
41:02
Speaker 2: Cynthia Freeland and Greg rose Ball, I'm Patrick Clabo. Thanks
