AFC PREDICTIONS: Bills, Chiefs, Ravens, Texans, Broncos, Patriots | Richard Sherman NFL · The Richard Sherman Podcast

• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Richard Sherman podcast and this time
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: it's the AFC preview last year there were a lot
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: of surprises in the AFC you had the New England
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Patriots make it to the Super Bowl you had the
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Denver Broncos really really you have a great shot at
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: it until Bo Nix gets hurt I think this year
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: You got to expect Patrick Mahomes to factor in. You
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: got to expect Joe Burrow to factor in. You got
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: to expect Lamar Jackson and that new staff to factor
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: in to this equation. And I think there could be
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: some fun. Will the Texans get back? Will C.J. Stroud
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: find his magic back? Mitchell, there's some fun, fun, fun
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: factors in the AFC.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: The AFC should be a lot of fun. Let's take
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: a look at the AFC East, Richard, which is one
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: of the surprise teams you were alluding to. The New
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: England Patriots came out of nowhere, shocked the NFL landscape,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: made it all the way to the Super Bowl. You
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: need to get blown out by your Seattle Seahawks. That
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: being said, I think they recognize their deficiencies. They bring
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: in A.J. Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles. obviously, and then
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Romeo Dobbs, another guy that kind of went under the
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: radar in that acquisition in the offseason. And then the Bills,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: you know, address their deficiencies at wide receiver, bring in
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: DJ Moore. Then we got to talk about the Jets.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Geno Smith comes back to town. And then down in Miami,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Malik Willis showed a lot of promise in Green Bay.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Can he bring that magic to Miami? They're going to
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: need a lot of magic, something tells me, Richard. Who
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: do you have coming out on top of this division
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: in the AFC East?
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: In the AFC East, I just, I want to believe
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: in the Patriots. I want to believe last year wasn't
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: a fluke. It wasn't an aberration that Mike Vrabel has
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: it together, that this team can continue to be a
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: contender for years and years. But I do think there
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: was a bit of, you know, some scheduling luck there.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: They had some favorable draws and they took advantage as
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: they should. And they deserve all the credit in the world.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: This year, it's going to be a much different schedule.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: much more challenging, much more challenging for a young Drake May,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: but they also have A.J. Brown, and they have A.J. Brown,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: who's an established veteran, really, really, I mean, been a
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: top five receiver in this league at times in his career,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: sometimes considered one of the best receivers in the National
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Football League. Can he regain his form that some people
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: in Philadelphia will say he lost? You know, there's a
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: lot of questions. You know, obviously, Mike Vrabel had a
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: very adventurous offseason, and You know, will that have any
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: effect on his coaching career? Coaching this year, I highly doubt.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: But there will be some uncomfortable questions that he has
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: to answer. And, you know, throughout the season, I'm sure
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: some jokes will be made. But I think the Buffalo
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Bills and their new stadium, new energy, feeling good. Obviously,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I felt like last year, if Josh Allen was going
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl, it should have been last
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: year when You know, you don't have any of those
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: top five quarterbacks in the final show. You didn't have
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: a Patrick Mahomes, a Lamar to deal with. You didn't
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: have a Joe Burrow. Like, the best quarterback in the AFC,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: by any stretch of the imagination, anybody can argue, was
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen. And unfortunately, you know, you can say it
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: was some questionable calls or, you know, some things that
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: could have gone either way, but they lost that game.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: And he didn't make it. He didn't make the Super
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Bowl again, even in a playoff field that did not
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: have those quarterbacks that we just mentioned in it. So
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I think they can win the AFC East. You know,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I think they can figure out a way to quell
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the Patriots, even though the Patriots had their number last year.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I think they find a way this year. You know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: they got some more weapons like we talked about. And,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe a renewed energy from Josh Allen. I think,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: you know, the playmakers have been there offensively. Can they
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: get stops defensively? I think they can. I think they
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: win this AFC East.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't be shocked by that either. I don't want
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: to make some crazy statement here, but I feel like
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I have to make it. You alluded to it. The Patriots, man,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: that schedule, and we predicted it, I think, eight weeks
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: in advance when we looked at that schedule as it
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: ran out. And we said, they're about to win seven,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: eight games. And sure enough, they did. Now they get
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: the first place schedule. Things are about to change. A
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: lot of pressure is going to be on them. What
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: difference do you think A.J. Brown brings to this offense
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: in New England?
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: He brings stability and credibility. I mean, a lot of
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: what Stephon Diggs brought to this offense, just a guy
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: that is known and understood to be a true number
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: one receiver in the National Football League. A.J. Brown is
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: shown to be dominant at times, a target that Drake
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: may can just put the ball up and let him
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: go get it. I think that's something that he's been
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: throughout his career, and I think he's going to be
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: a safety blanket. Do I think they're going to still
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: move the ball around the yard and throw the ball
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: to other receivers, no question about it. Mitchell, it's going
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: to be up to Drake May. How is he going
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: to encore that all-pro season that he had last year?
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Is that it? Is that the peak for Drake May?
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Or can he continue to build on that and show
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: consistency and show that he is one of the elite
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks in this league? And it wasn't a fluke. It
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: wasn't a fluke season. It wasn't something that he was
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: playing great because he had this, this easy schedule or
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: he had this cupcake schedule because he faced some really,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: really daunting defenses through on his journey to the Superbowl.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: And anybody can argue that those are some of the
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: best defenses in the national football league. And arguably some
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: of the best defenses. I mean, you talk about Will
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Anderson and that crew and what they were doing. You
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: talk about the Denver Broncos and that crew and what
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: they were doing. I mean, these were great pass rushing defenses,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: great total defense defenses, some of the best, points per
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: game defenses in the National Football League, and they won them.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Were they pretty? Were they beautiful games that you're going
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: to put on the wall in the Louvre? No, they weren't.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: But a win is a win. And he was able
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: to get his team to the promised land. Can he
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: do it again? And if he can, then you have
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: to start talking about him in that top five conversation.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: You have to start putting his name in that conversation consistently.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: And you've got to start removing some guys who've never
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: made it to the show, regardless of circumstance. You have
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: to stop calling guys top five if they cannot get
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: their team to the show. And we can make excuses,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: excuses galore for all these guys and all these teams.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, people respect winning
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: and winning matters. And if it doesn't, what's the point
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: of playing?
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: A lot of credit has got to be given to
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Drake May. The level of composure that he showed in
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: that run. anchoring that team. Really, you've got to believe
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: he's going to grow going into year three. And with
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: these added weapons on the outside, A.J. Brown and Romeo Dobbs,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I expect the New England Patriots to be better. I
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: don't think their record is going to be better based
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: on the schedule, but I think they're going to be
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: a more formidable opponent come playoff time. And ultimately, their
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: eyes have got to be on that Super Bowl. Let's
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: talk about some of these other teams in this division.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: The lowly New York Jets are And the Miami Dolphins,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: who I'm surprised are even fielding a team right now,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: with all the dead money cap hits they were facing
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: with Tunga-Vailoa getting released this offseason. Richard, what are your
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: expectations of both these teams heading into the season?
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: My expectations for these teams are loathe to know. I
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: think Aaron Glenn probably feels like, hey, this team is
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: going to go out and surprise some people. I think
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: sometimes the absence of expectations, the absence of expectations the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: burden of people thinking you're going to be something. Sometimes
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: that underdog mentality can motivate a team and allow them
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: to sneak up on some people and steal some wins
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: against some teams they wouldn't be expected to beat. So
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: if I'm the Patriots or the Buffalo Bills, I'm watching
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: my back. But like you said, in Miami, there's just
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: so much dead cap for Jeff Halfley to deal with.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: And I'm a Coach Halfley fan, so I'm going to
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: be rooting for the Miami Dolphins. And my guy Deshaun
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Shedd is there. The cupboard is bare. This is almost
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: like a lost year for them because of all the
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: dead money. I think they're expecting this year to not
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: be a great year for them. They didn't pick up
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: a ton of guys. You get rid of a $ 50
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: million quarterback. You get rid of a $ 30 million receiver.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: You trade away another $ 30 million receiver. Probably your top
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: three most impactful players offensively you get rid of. Now
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: you kept Devon H. Chan, and he's going to continue
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: to be productive and a great running back in this league.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: But outside of that, you're depending on a bunch of young,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: unproven guys to go out there on Sundays. And I
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: think that's the approach that Jeff Halfley has to have is, hey,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: we're going to go out here and do our best, compete.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: We're going to go out here and ruin people's Christmases.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: We're going to go out here and ruin people's seasons.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I don't think you can expect the Miami Dolphins to
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: go out there and expect to compete for a Super
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Bowl with that roster. If they do, I mean, this
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: will be one of the most historic seasons in the
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: National Football League's history, and we're talking about parity. Like,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: anybody can get it done.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: My eyes are firmly on Malik Willis and what he
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: shows as a starter in this league because, you know,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: coming out of Liberty, a small school, there was a
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: lot of question marks about the level of competition he
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: played against. A lot of folks mocked him in the
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: top five of his draft class. He ultimately goes later
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: than that and goes to the Tennessee Titans and then
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: bounces to the Green Bay Packers. He was a proven
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: commodity for them these last two years. When Jordan Love
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: faced his injury issues, Malik Willis stepped in and was
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: arguably better than Jordan Love. So I've got a lot
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: of questions coming into this season. I don't think Miami's
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: going to be very good, but I think they got
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: themselves a good player in Malik Willis. We'll see how
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: it all plays out. Rich, let's talk about some of
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: these first four games for each team and what you
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: think records are going to be after the first four.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: The New England Patriots are hosting, I'm sorry, are on
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: the road in Seattle against your Seahawks, then are hosting
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Jags and at the Bills.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: This is what I'm talking about when I say tough schedule.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: You look at these opponents, and they could easily lose
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: a couple of these games. Richard, what do you think
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: their record ultimately will be after four games?
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I think they go 2-2. That's four playoff teams right
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: there to start the season, and that's going to be tough.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I think it's going to be tough for them to
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: go to Seattle and find a win. I think they
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: can find a way to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. the
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars and Duval is going to be a tough out,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: you know, especially the way, you know, that receiving core
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: and was playing at the end of the year. And,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: and your guy, T law, T law is playing good
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: football at the end of the year. And if they're
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: playing that way and defensively, they can be as opportunistic
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: as they were last season, where they were amongst the
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: league leaders, if not the league leader in turnovers, they're
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: going to be a tough out. And then you got
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the Buffalo bills and a division, a division foe and
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: a new stadium with new renewed energy. I think that's
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: going to be a tough place for them to get
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: a win. So, you know, I got them at 2-1-2.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I think they find one in Pittsburgh and maybe find
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: one between Buffalo and Jacksonville. But, you know, the division
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: games are always a toss-up, and I think they split
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: it with Buffalo regardless of which one they take.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: The Buffalo Bills also with a challenging schedule out the
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: gates play at Houston against the vaunted Texans defense, Then
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: host the Lions. First game at Highmark. Host the Chargers.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: TNF.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: And the Patriots.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: TNF.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: First Thursday night football game on Amazon Prime. The Detroit
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Lions versus the Bills. Richard will be there. Your thoughts
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: on these first four games for the Bills. Because yet
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: another team with a very tough schedule out the gates.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I know that that Texan defense is
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: going to be roaring to go. They got potentially three all-pros.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: On that defense, if you're talking about Derek Stingley, Will Anderson,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I think people consider Jalen Petrie a guy that can
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: potentially be an all-pro in this league. Kamari Lassiter on
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: the opposite side plays incredibly physical and way bigger than
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: his size. Just an incredibly talented team. And then you've
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: got to factor in Daniil Hunter and just a really,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: really aggressive defense. It's C.J. Stroud. What is he going
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: to be this season? He struggled at times last season,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: and then at times it seems like he pulled it
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: together and played good football. What is he going to be?
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Is he going to be a C.J. Stroud who was
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: his rookie year sensation and really, really looked like he
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: was going to take over this league? Or is he
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: going to be the guy who struggled mightily against the
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: New England Patriots in a bit of a weather game?
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: If he can go back to being that guy that
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: everybody pegged to be taking over this league, then I
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: got them winning this game. But I think, you know,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I think he's going to be a
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: little rusty to start the season. I think Buffalo finds
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: a way to get that game. Your Detroit Lions, again,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: that's a tough game to go to Buffalo in their
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: new stadium and get that win. I think Buffalo finds
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: a way in that game. I think the Chargers flying
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: all the way out to Buffalo, New York, six hours.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: That's going to be a tough one. And then, like
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: I said, they can split this one. So we'll call
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: it three and one.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: And then the jets, uh, tough match out the gates,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: actually a very favorable matchup for the jets, uh, at
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: the Titans. We'll see what the Titans can bring this year. Uh,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: then hosting the Packers at the lions and then at
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: the bears, uh, tough schedule facing three NFC North teams
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: right out the gates. Do the jets get a win?
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, if they don't get it at, at the Titans,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: you know, Robert's all a revenge game. Um, It sounds
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: easier than it probably is. I think he's going to
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: be very motivated all training camp. There was a lot
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: of love lost when Robert Sala left the New York
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Jets and the way it transpired. So I think he's
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: going to put a lot into that game. So I
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: think the Titans may find a way to win that,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: and the team may be rallying behind him. I don't
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: think they can find a way to beat any of
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: the NFC North teams, so I got them on four. Wow.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: And then the Miami Dolphins open on the road in
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Las Vegas, then travel to the San Francisco 49ers, return
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: home facing the Kansas City Chiefs, and then end up
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: back in Minnesota. Another tough schedule out the gates. Can
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: the Dolphins find a way to win a game?
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Again, I think the motivation here is to get one.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: And can you find a way to get one, uh,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: in Las Vegas early on and just give your team
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: some hope to start the season? Can Malik Willis, you know,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: sometimes you just, you know, you need a puncher's chance
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and if they can get one, then I think going
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: through the season, you know, maybe that gets them five
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: or six wins this season. Um, but I think their
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: best chance is at the Raiders and that's not a
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: guarantee by any stretch of the imagination, but I think
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: that's their best chance at it. Um, I think the
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: 49ers are going to be raring to go, well-rested after
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: a long trip back from Australia and a lot of
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: time to prepare. I think the Chiefs are going to,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: you know, Andy Reid's going to have his team ready
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: to go. But again, that defense is going to have
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: some questions to answer, but I think they have enough
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: to beat the Dolphins. I think they're one in three.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Football is back. And if you're getting ready for the season,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: pull up to your local Lids. The exclusive 47 NFL
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: collection is available only in store at Lids. And this
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: gear is the gear you're going to need if you're
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: going all in all season.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: No doubt about it. We're talking NFL graphic tees. The
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: iconic 47 hitch headwear silhouette. Richard, you like this, man?
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: I love this. The Detroit Lions 47 hitch headwear I
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: got on. and fan gear that looks good on game day,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Monday morning and every day in between.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: And listen, I know a little something about being all in.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: The Legion of Boom energy, it was not casual. We
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: didn't walk on the field hoping people noticed us. We
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: set the tone. We brought the energy. We made sure
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: everybody knew exactly who they were dealing with.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: That's how you should rep your team, Richard.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Confidence.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: No apologies. Whether you're hosting the crew, watching the family,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: tailgating before the game, or sitting across from somebody wearing
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: the wrong colors. Get to your local lids and rep
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: your squad the right way.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Football isn't just a Sunday thing. It's a rivalry. It's tradition.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: It's pride. It's who you are all week long. So
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: don't wait until kickoff to get ready. Pull up to
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Lids and go all in, all season, only in store
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: at Lids.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Let's turn our focus to the AFC West. This division
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: is shaping up to be a gauntlet. For the first
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: time in I don't know how many years, the Kansas
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: City Chiefs are not alone. And the Denver Broncos proved
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: that last year, and they're bringing back Their same defense
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: and then some. They added Jalen Waddell this offseason. I mean,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: obviously Patrick Mahomes and that knee injury is a question mark.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs had Kenneth Walker. Then you got Mike
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: McDaniel heading into the LA Chargers. That defense is going
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: to be high, or offense is going to be high flying.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: And then questions arise around the Clint Kubiak-led Las Vegas
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Raiders who bring in the number one pick, Fernando Mendoza.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: With a plethora of weapons as well, young weapons, Ashton Gentry,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: they like what they see out of Mike Washington, the
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: running back out of Arkansas, obviously Brock Bowers. Richard, who
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: do you like most in the AFC West?
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I think anytime you got a healthy Patrick Mahomes in
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: any division, he's going to be a tough out. And
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I think that's who I'm going to go with. And
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I think Vegas is going with Patrick Mahomes because it's
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: tough to bet against Patrick Mahomes if he's out there
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: and he's healthy. Regardless, I know there's some Some questions
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: around Rasheed Rice and, you know, things. Is he going
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: to end up on the exempt list? I don't know
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: if I've seen his name pop up on the exempt list,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: the commissioner's exempt list. But I have seen Cooper's name
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: pop up on the exempt list and Josh Jacobs, you know.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: And if the Broncos are going to be without Cooper
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: for an extended amount of time, that's going to factor in.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: That changes the dynamic of that team. He's a pro-bowl,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: all-pro rusher. for that team, one of the best rushers
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: in the National Football League and one of the best get-offs.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: So if they're going to be without him, I feel
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: even better about the Kansas City Chiefs winning this division.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Can the Chargers do it? The Chargers' defense has played
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: really well. But again, the question mark is at the
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: quarterback position where you have a top-five talent in Justin
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Herbert and not always a top-five result. And what impact
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: will Mike McDonough Mike McDaniel make in that run game.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: He's going to make Omarion Hampton a much more valuable
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: piece in fantasy, I'm sure, but he's talked about using
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: three different running backs. So I'm looking forward to seeing
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: how he does. I'm looking forward to seeing the Raiders
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: and Kubiak and, you know, what they can do with
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: the inside-outside zone. They're obviously going to go with Kirk
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Cousins early on, but when does Fernando Mendoza get his
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: shot to shine? And When is the changing of the guard?
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: I'm sure Kirk Cousins doesn't mind. Kirk Cousins has been
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: getting paid since Jesus was a baby, so it's going
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: to be a fun one.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that. Let's go back to the
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Denver Broncos, though. This was a team that was a
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: bit of a surprise last year. They always had that
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: great defense, but then Bo Nix came along and proved
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: that he was definitely worth being a starter in this
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: league and definitely worth that first round selection. They now
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: add Jalen Waddell to pair with Cortland Sutton. What do
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: you think about Denver's offense? We know you love their defense,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: but do they have enough offensive weapons to get over
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: that hump?
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: They have the weapons, and we're going to talk about
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: their schedule in a second. But again, seeing the pieces
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: come together, and obviously Sean Payton is great, masterful at
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: drawing up plays and creating schemes and game planning defenses
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: and coming up with a consistent game plan throughout that
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: manipulates defenses. And he's going to put Bo Nix in
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: position to be successful as he did last year. Can
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: they stay healthy? Can they stay healthy? Can that defense
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: continue to thrive? They live in a lot of man-to-man coverage,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: and that's a high risk, high reward, but they have
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: the best corner in the National Football League in Patrick Sertan,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: so when you have that, you can definitely play a
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: little bit differently on defense, but again, it just depends.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: If Cooper's part of this team, if he's on that
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: exhibit list for two weeks, cool. I think they probably
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: have a much better chance to win this AFC West,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: but if he's on more than two weeks, if he's
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: on a quarter of the season, I'm not sure they
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: get through that tough portion of the season unscathed.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Now let's talk about the Kansas City Chiefs. Their big
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: free agent acquisition is Kenneth Walker, K-9, Michigan State, go green,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: go white. Richard, this Kansas City Chiefs team has been
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: lacking a bell-count running back for a number of years now.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: They're going to rely on K-9 to be just that guy.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: how different of a team are the Kansas city chiefs
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: when they have a reliable run game behind Patrick Mahomes?
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: They're much different. And it's not just a reliable running game.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: It's an explosive one. You know, Kenneth Walker is a
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: guy that can go to the house and get there
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: from anywhere on the field. And if you give him
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: a lane, I think sometimes you've watched Kansas city chiefs
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: and you know, they've had, um, running backs who, who
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: had some explosiveness, who had some grid dad, cream hunt,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: who's the big back, the bruiser, uh, But they never
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: had a guy, I don't think Pacheco was a guy that, hey,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: once he got a lane, it was over, you know,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: and his foot raced to the end zone. I think
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: he's a guy who, you know, great story, fights for yards,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: runs really hard. But K-9's a guy that if you
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: give him a lane, he can take over a game.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if they've had a running back
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: like that in a while since probably Jamal Charles, who
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: could really go out there and, you know, put the
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: team on his back. And you look up and the
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: quarterback's just, hey, turn around, hand it off, you know.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: complete a few passes, and go drink your water. And
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: K-9 has got a back, as he's shown in the
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl, that can be that.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: And then the L.A. Chargers, another team that is definitely
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: in the conversation for this division. Justin Herbert has had
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: solid showings after solid showings. They now get an offensive
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: coordinator in Mike McDaniel that's going to throw the deep
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: ball more, play to his strengths more. How do you
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: foresee this offense looking with Mike McDaniel– at the reins.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: It can be a very, very dangerous offense, if not
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: the best offense in the league. Mike McDaniel is a
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: mad scientist, especially in the run game. But if he
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: starts to make the linebackers and safeties play the run
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: game more, he's never had a quarterback with the kind
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: of arm talent that Justin Herbert has. There are very
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: few quarterbacks in the league with the kind of arm
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: talent that Justin Herbert has. And so I think it's
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: going to be a fun area for both of them.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: But again, it still is up to Justin Herbert to
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: go out there and complete the passes and play up
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: to the level that he's capable of. And if he
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: does within this system, this can be a memorable, probably
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: at least with the Chargers, record-breaking season for them offensively
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: just because of how incredible he is of drawing and
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: creating openings and matchups offensively. within a scheme. I know
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: it didn't work out as a head coach, but it
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: does not change how great of an offensive coordinator he
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: can be. And I think people will appreciate Mike McDaniel
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: and who he is even more with Justin Herbert.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Let's dive into the first four games for these teams
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: as they open their schedules. You just tell me how
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: you think this is going to play out. The Broncos
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: are hosting the Chiefs, I'm sorry, are on the road
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: against the Chiefs, then host the Jags and the Rams,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: and then head to the 49ers. Your thoughts on these
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: first four games?
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Again, when does Cooper get off the exempt list? Because
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: with him on the exempt list and playing the Kansas
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: City Chiefs, can they sneak out of there with a
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: win in Arrowhead? Maybe, but probably not with Patrick Mahomes healthy. And,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: you know, it's going to be a dogfight. It's going
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: to be a battle, a divisional game. Jacksonville coming in, again,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: their receiving core is not one to be played with,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: not one to be joked with. They're one of the
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: best receiving cores in the league. And if Trevor Lawrence
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: can play to the level that he did at times
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: last season, I think they are a tough out. So
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: that first stretch, I mean, it could be. 2-2, 1-3.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: We'll go with 2-2.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: It is a wild opening. Four games for the Broncos.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: The Chargers play against the Cardinals at home. The Raiders
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: at the Bills, then at the Seahawks. A relatively easy
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: first two games for the Chargers, but then really facing
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: tough competition at the Buffalo Bills and at the Seattle Seahawks.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: What's their record after four?
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: 2-2. 2-2, Mitchell. Going to Seattle and going to Buffalo
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: for their 2-2.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: I see the same thing. Kansas City Chiefs at home
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: against the Broncos, at home against the Indianapolis Colts and
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Indiana Jones, and then in Miami and then at Vegas. Richard,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: is this a sweep for the Kansas City Chiefs?
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Is Indiana Jones healthy? Is Jonathan Taylor healthy? Could be 4-0,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: but I just don't know.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: If Patrick is healthy. 4-0.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: 4-0.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: All right, and then the Raiders. Can Clint Kubiak make
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: some magic in Las Vegas? Opening against the Dolphins at
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: the Chargers, at the Saints, and then a home against
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: the Chiefs. Can they at least get one? Can they
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: at least get one out of four?
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Give him one. Give him one and three, Mitchell. I
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: don't know which one. Give him one.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: I'll give you the one. It's Miami Dolphins. As much
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: as I think Malik Willis is going to be a
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: good player for Miami, I just don't think they have
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: enough personnel around him. We'll see how long Kirk Cousins
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: lasts in Las Vegas. We'd love to see it happen.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Michigan State alumni, but when you get Fernando Mendoza there,
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: the number one pick, there's going to be a lot
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: of fans calling for him after a one and three start.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: We shall see. Let's move now to the AFC North,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: an always competitive division. The Ravens, the Steelers, the Browns,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: the Bengals. A lot of questions coming here. John Harbaugh
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: leaves the Baltimore Ravens after this year. How are they
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: going to respond as a team? Aaron Rodgers is back
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: with Mike McCarthy, his former running mate. How different do
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: they look? Joe Burrell, can he stay healthy? And then
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: the looming question in Cleveland, Is Deshaun Watson the guy
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: or did they move to Shador? Richard, we'll just start
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: us off here. Who do you think is ultimately going
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: to win this always competitive AFC North?
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Mitchell, I think the Ravens can win the AFC North. Now,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: McCarthy being back with A-Rod is tempting. It's tempting because
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: I want to go there just to be the happy ending,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: just to be the storybook, just because I love to
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: watch Aaron Rodgers play football and DK Metcalf. And that
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: offense is going to be hopefully a lot more exciting
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: and just, you know, seeing it, it's nostalgia.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Baltimore.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: I got Baltimore winning the AFC North.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: If I told you Joe Burrow could stay healthy throughout
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: the entire regular season, do you think the Cincinnati Bengals
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: would have any shot at this North? They have a
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: plethora of weapons offensively. Tee Higgins, obviously Jamar Chase, the
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: running back, Chase Brown. When healthy, Joe Burrow and the
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals can do damage. If he stays healthy, can
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: they win this AFC North? I know you're questioning your
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: own pick over there, Richard. So can I convince you
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: that the Cincinnati Bengals, with a fully healthy Joe Burrow
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: for 17 games, can win this division?
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Mitchell, if Joe Burrow played safety or corner for the
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals, I'd be right there with you. But I watched.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: I've been at those games. where Joe Burrow puts up
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: 40 points and the other team puts up 42. I've
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: been at the games where Joe Burrow puts up 35
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: points and the other team puts up 38. Mitchell, it's
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: not Joe Burrow's fault that it doesn't always work out, Mitchell.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: They will be amongst the league leaders in points when
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow is under center. But Mitchell, they could not
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: stop a nosebleed at times last season. And so if
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: that continues to be the case until they show me otherwise,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I don't got it. You could have... Joe Burrow or
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Joe Montana back there. It would not matter if you
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: can't stop anybody. And I don't appreciate teams that don't
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: play defense.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: Hey, I see your perspective and I totally understand it.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: But I don't know.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: I think something's different this year in Cincy, man. They
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: did address some needs defensively in free agency. That was
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: a point of emphasis for them. They brought in your boy,
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Boye Mafi from the Seattle Seahawks to help with their
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: edge rush.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: They brought in Sexy Dexy.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: And Sexy Dexy, they spent their first round pick on
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: getting Sexy Dexter Lawrence in there as well. So they
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: certainly committed assets in improving that horrid defense there. So
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: with Joe Burrow healthy, I got to believe this team
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: is going to be flirting with that AFC North crown.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: Then the question becomes, who are the Cleveland Browns? Is
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson the best quarterback on that roster? Or is
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: he just the highest paid quarterback on that roster so
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: you have to start him? What do you do if
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: you're in Cleveland with that quarterback situation?
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Mitchell, you do exactly what they did because that's what
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: you have to do. I know fans are like, hey, Shador,
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: what about Shador? He's the future. He may very well be.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: But if they believed that, they would have drafted him
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: somewhere before the fifth round. And I love Shador. I
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: think he can play in this league. But if they
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: thought he was the future, they would have drafted him
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: much earlier than the fifth round. They have a quarterback
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: on the roster that they're paying $ 50 million to. That's
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: the quarterback you will see until he is no longer
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: able to be out there. Now, could he play himself
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: back on the bench with a few bad throws? No
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: question about it. But one thing I know is not
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: going to help anybody, and that's the fans booing him
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: as he tries to get wins for the same team
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: that you're booing. Like, Browns fans, I understand. You guys
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: have had some tough years, and I cannot imagine because
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: I haven't had to live that life. I'm sorry. I
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: would never choose that for anybody. But you're working against
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: your best interest by booing this man in his own stadium.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. He's trying to win and make you cheer.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: and make you happy and you're booing him working against
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: yourself so if you cheer when he throws the interception
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: you see how the insanity starts to develop you see
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: how that starts to look crazy.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: There was people that question i hear you but there's
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: been a lot of question marks coming from cleveland as
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: soon as they got rid of baker mayfield so this
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: team's just been tumbling downhill when are they going to
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: land on their feet and start walking back up it
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: that's the big question The Sean Watson, if he can
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: stay healthy, they've got weapons. They invested their draft pick
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: in Casey Conception out of Texas A & M, who's
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: a great route runner, one of the best wide receivers
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: in this draft. You know, they invested in Boston out
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: of Washington in the draft as well. So we shall see.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Quinn Sean, Judkins, there is talent in Cleveland.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I still think they should have went with
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Jim Swartz as the coach. I understand they went a
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: different direction and all that, but that kind of– I
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: don't know. It kind of soured me on the Browns
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: this season. I think Shador should play. I think he'd
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: be a great quarterback for them. I think he'd make
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: some plays that'd be more exciting for the fans. It'd
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: be more exciting for a lot of people. And, you know,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: it has people rooting against Deshaun Watson, and that's the
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: part that you never want to see. You have your
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: own fans rooting against– your starting quarterback. And that's why
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: it's just so much vitriol and so much nastiness that
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: putting Shador out there would almost alleviate a lot of
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: the unnecessary headache to start the season. It's almost counterintuitive.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: It's counter momentum. It's reverse momentum. You're walking into the
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: season with people hoping you start bad who are in
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: the stands buying seats.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about if they're going to start bad.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Let's look at their first four games. They open at
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: the Jags. at the Bucs, at home against the Panthers
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: and Steelers, what's the outcome in these first four games?
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: One and three. One and three, Mitchell. One and three.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: I'm giving them one.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: So, one and three start. One and three start possible.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: By week five, do we see Shador Sanders after a
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: one and three start?
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: It depends on how many interceptions were thrown in that
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: one and three start. Something tells me there may be
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: a couple, but who knows? Deshaun Watson may turn into
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: the guy that was drafted out of Kale Empson and
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: start balling. But if he does not, then you'll see
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: Shador by week five. Fair. Or maybe week four. Fair.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: The Baltimore Ravens at the Colts.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Sorry.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: The Baltimore Ravens at the Colts, home against the Saints,
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: at the Cowboys, home against the Titans. Somewhat favorable schedule
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: for a team that needs to, you know, find their
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: new identity under a new head coach.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Three and one. Three and one.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: I think Jesse Mentor is going to put together a
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: good defense, and they're going to be a tough out.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Three and one.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy, Aaron Rodgers, and the Steelers open against the
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: Falcons at home, then head to New England, host the
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals, then travel to Cleveland. Interesting schedule to start
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: for them. 3-1, 4-0, 2-2.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: 3-1 with a lot of hope. 3-1 with a lot
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: of hope.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: Look out for Michael Pittman, by the way, in Pittsburgh.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: I think Aaron Rodgers is going to find himself a
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: nice safety blanket and Michael Pittman paired with DK Metcalf.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh might be cooking with something in that wide receiver room.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: And then Cincinnati.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Healthy Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase, T. Higgins, Chase Brown. At
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: home against the Bucs, at Houston, at the Steelers, at
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: home against the Jags. Joe Burrow, 4-0. It's tough, Mitchell.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Come on. Mitchell, I would love to go Joe Burrow, 4-0.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: But the people that are blocking for him, I don't
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: know if they want Joe Burrow to be 4-0. And
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: so the Tampa Bay Bucs, Reuben Bain and company, Fita
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Veya and company. Mitchell, if Joe Burrow's upright, I've got
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: them winning that game. But a shootout with Baker Mayfield
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: against a very aggressive, blitzing Todd Bowles defense. I don't know.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Houston Texans, Will Anderson and company. Daniil Hunter, hunters. Mitchell hunters.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Good luck, Joe Burrow, standing upright. Pittsburgh Steelers, for all
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: their faults, TJ Watt. I apologize, TJ. And those boys
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: can get after the quarterback, and I expect them to
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: continue to do that. Jacksonville Jaguars, opportunistic defense, 1-3.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Wow, 1-3. I don't think Cincy fans are going to
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: like to hear that. I got them at least 2-2.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: I feel very good about the Cincinnati Bengals team this year,
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: but I did that as well last year and the
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: year before that, so we'll see what happens.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: My top three rules for the football season, know your team,
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: know the schedule, and don't overpay to watch the games.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: That's why Sling makes sense this NFL season. You can
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: get the action you actually want, including Monday night football,
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: NFL Network, and Red Zone with flexible package options starting
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: at $ 19. 99 a month.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Watch football on your terms this season.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: Head to sling.com and find the package or pass subscription
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: that works for you. The AFC South, this is a
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: division we're talking a little bit more of just because
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: the Houston Texans have such a dominant defense, especially that
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: defensive line and their secondary. I mean, my goodness, athletes
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: all over the field, difference makers all over that defense.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: The question's really going to come down to the quarterback
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: play of C.J.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Stroud.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: And then the Jaguars, I know you were so down
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: on them last year, but they shocked a lot of folks.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence was getting mobile, was getting active. out of
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: that quarterback position. They started running him a ton in
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: the red zone, and we saw this offense just explode
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: towards the second half of the season. And then Indiana
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Jones and the Colts surprised a lot of folks as
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: well until he got hurt. And then we go back
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: to the Tennessee Titans. Robert Sala finds a new home
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: in Tennessee. What can he bring to the Titans? So
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: many questions in this AFC South. Who's your favorite?
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Mitchell, I think Trevor Lawrence with, you know, Jacoby Myers,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: they paid him as soon as they got him because
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: he was making such an impact. Parker Washington looked unstoppable
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: near the end of the season. And then Brian Thomas,
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: I'm hearing great things out of training camp that he's
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: looking like his old self. He's regained his confidence, regained
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: his form. And whatever you sprinkle Travis Hunter in there
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: on is going to be great. But I think them
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: focusing defensively on Travis Hunter is going to make him
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: much more of an impactful player for this team. I
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: don't know who said that should have happened from the beginning.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know what crazy guy said. He should probably
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: be just be sprinkled in at receiver and just play
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: corner full time. But that guy probably knows some ball
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: and that's what they're doing with Travis Hunter. And you're
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: probably about to watch Travis Hunter have a potential all
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: pro corner year and still make some impactful plays on
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: offense because you don't have to play 60 plays to
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: be impactful on offense, but you damn sure better be
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: out there on defense. If you expect to make an
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: impact because any play can be the given play. And
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: I like how that's going to go. Um, I think
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: their defense is going to continue to be really good
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: and opportunistic. I think they got a really good front.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: They got great linebacker play. Alua Khan has continued to
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: grow and thrive. in this defense. And I think, you know,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: if they can play like they did last year, you know,
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: which is, you know, anytime you're getting that many turnovers,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: you wonder, is it sustainable? But it was last year.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: And if they continue to play at that level, they're
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: going to be a tough out.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Then the other team is Houston Texans. Obviously, you love
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: their defense. Will Anderson. is an exceptional defensive end. And
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: then you already talked about their defensive backroom. Let's talk
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: a little bit about their offense. C.J. Stroud came out
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: like he was going to set the NFL on fire
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: as a rookie and then ultimately slumped his second year.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: This past year, we didn't see a ton. He left
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: a lot to be desired. Who is C.J. Stroud? I mean,
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: is this guy... a capable difference maker in this league.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: What is your perception of C.J. Stroud as a quarterback?
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, his ceiling is what he was his
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: rookie year, and his ceiling is one of the best
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the National Football League. But you also see
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: in the basement, and you saw the basement in the
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: playoffs against the New England Patriots, you know, in the
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: biggest light, the biggest stage for everybody to watch. And so,
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: can you recover from that? Some guys, you know, have
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: a game like this and you're never the same. You know,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: you can never get it back. Sometimes social media and
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: fans sending mean messages and just showing vitriol towards you
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: changes you and changes the way you approach the game
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: and changes the way you're afraid to make a mistake.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: You're afraid to be criticized. Now, if he can go
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: out there confidently and just deliver balls with the velocity
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: and the confidence that he did his first year and
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: they have a great season and you got guys like,
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Jalen Noel and and uh Nico Collins if Nico Collins
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: can can get back to the form he was a
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: couple years ago where he was a top five receiver
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: before he got hurt um I think they got a
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: chance and and Xavier Xavier Hutchinson is another big time
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: playmaker for for them and uh your guy David Montgomery
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: you know can he be the bell cow and when
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: they lost Joe Mixon that was kind of their identity
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: part of their identity was gone I think maybe that
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: had an effect on CJ Stroud and I think David Montgomery,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: and just getting that run game back, just getting a
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: consistent run game back is going to be a factor,
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: and you're going to be able to lean on that defense. Again,
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: those two of the best pass rushers in the league,
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: and Daniil Hunter and Will Anderson, I mean, they're all
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: NFL walking off the bus team. You see those guys
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: walk off the bus, you know you're in for a
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: long day. I mean, this may be the best secondary
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: in the league. Jalen Petrie at the nickel could be
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: just as good as anybody. Kamari Lassiter, Reed Blankenship, Derek
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: Stingley Jr., I mean... you could potentially have two, three
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: pro bowlers in that secondary if they do it right. So, yeah,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: any team that plays them is going to have their
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: hands absolutely full. And can C.J. Stroud just do what
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: he did? Do enough. He doesn't have to be all world,
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: but just don't lose the game for this team, and
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: they're going to be formidable.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about your friend Robert Sala and the Titans.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: What would you think would be a good first season
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: for him in Tennessee?
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: I think a good first season for him in Tennessee is,
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: is not, not picking top five. Uh, you know, I
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: don't think you can ask for much more than that.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: They got a lot to build, you know, the, the, the,
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of room to make up, um, in
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: a division that has become more competitive with the Houston
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: Texans and, uh, in the Jacksonville Jaguars being, being much
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: better with the Indianapolis Colts, having Indiana Jones and start
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: to starting to get the best out of him with
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor starting to run like he's run before. Um,
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: And that defense in Indianapolis should be formidable with Sauce
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: Gardner and that secondary. But we'll see. We'll see what
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: they can be. But I think just not picking in
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: the top five. If they're not drafted in the top five,
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: I'd consider that a successful season in Nashville.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: Let's walk through the first four games. The Texans play
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: the Bills at home, the Bengals at home, travel to Indy,
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: and then play the Cowboys at home. Tough schedule out
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: of the gates for the Texans. Your thoughts on that
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: record after four?
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: I'm still thinking about who's winning this division.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: I was just going to say, I feel like you
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: just talked yourself into the Texans. Like just hearing you talk.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly what I did.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: You talked about that team and the way their defense
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: just all unfolded. I was about to ask you, I
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: think you're going to change your pick. Is it still
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: the Jags? A lot rides on C.J.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: Stroud, Richard.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: A lot.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But a lot doesn't ride on C.J. Stroud.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: That's why I want to pick it. I've seen great
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: defenses carry quarterbacks very far, Mitchell. And I just feel
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: like you don't need to be a world beater. Can
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: he not throw the game away and they're going to
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: be fine? And I think he can play that way.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: He can play good run game, get the ball to
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: Nico Collins, trust your tight ends. Potentially, if he wants
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: to play all pro football and get back to the C.J.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: Stroud of old, you know what? I love great defense.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: Give me Houston.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: You know who's going to absolutely love that take?
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: Duvall.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: Duvall, your friends in Jacksonville. I'm sure this is Richard.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: You know how to make them love you down in Jacksonville, man.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: Holy cow. Hey, for the record, Jacksonville fans, I've been
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: a fan of Trevor Lawrence last season. I think that
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: this team has got what it takes to win this division.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: I'm rolling with the Jags. I get it. I get
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: your point about the Texans. I get this defense. I'm
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: rolling with the Jags. That being said, how do you
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: think the Houston Texans start after their first four games?
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: Bills at home, Bengals at home, Colts on the road,
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: Cowboys at home.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: Three and one. Three and one, Metro. I think they
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: go three and one. Who's the one? That D-line. Who's
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: the one? Who's the one? Every man and woman in
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: America and all over the world has been asking that
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: question for many years. Mitchell, who's the one? Guess we're
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: going to see.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: The Jags hosting the Browns at the Broncos at home
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: against the Pats and then at the Bengals.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: Thoughts? Two and two. Two and two. I'm sorry, Drew Duvall.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: I believe Broncos... Very formidable outfit. If Cooper's not there,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Cooper's not there, 3-1. 2-2, though. Okay. All right.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: The Colts, Indiana Jones. How impactful can he be coming
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: off the major injury? Open up against the Ravens at home.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: Travel to Arrowhead against the Chiefs. Then the Texans and
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: Commanders both at home. Tough schedule to open for the Colts.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: How do they fare?
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: Two and two. Two and two. The hard way. Wow.
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: Okay. I like one and three personally, but two and two.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: God bless you, Rich. We'll see how that fares. And
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: then the Titans.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: We got to start keeping track of Mitchell's picks, too.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: We have to because I don't want to.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: I feel like we'll save it down the road, but
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: I got some hot takes for you here, Richard. One
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: and three for the Colts. Tennessee Titans. Robert Sala season.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: What can they do at home against the Jets, at
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: home against the Eagles, travel to New York to face
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: the Giants, and then finally against the Ravens away? Robert Sala,
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: can you give them two? Can you give them two?
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: I'm going to give them two. Doing two.
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's the Robert Sala special. Watch out for Jackson
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: Dart this year and the Giants, Richard. I think two
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: and two might be a little generous. I'm going one
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: and three with the Titans.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Mitchell, Robert Sala is on a revenge tour against anything
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: New York.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: I got him in New York. I respect it, man.
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: He's a Michigan man from Dearborn. I want him to
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: be successful. I love the way he coaches the energy
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: he brings to any team he coaches, but Tennessee, we
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: shall see. So division winners.
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: He's not a Royal Oak guy. Whatever. Not everybody can be.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: Not everyone can be.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: My top three rules for the football season. Know your team,
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: know the schedule, and don't overpay to watch the games.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: Or you just want to tap in for a few
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: days and grab a one to three to seven day
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: pass subscription starting at just $ 4. 99. No need to pay
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: for more than you need.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: Just pull up for the games you care about, get
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: your football fix, and keep it moving.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: Head to sling.com and find the package or pass subscription
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: that works for you. All right, to recap this, you've
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: got the division winners as follows, the Bills, the Chiefs,
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: the Ravens, and the Texans. Who fills out the wild
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: card in the AFC when it comes to playoff time?
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: Well, Mitchell... Hmm. It's going to be some unhappy fan bases. Obviously,
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: Denver made the AFC Championship last year. I have to
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: have them there. They had even a chance without Bo
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: Nix to make it to the Super Bowl. That would
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: have been strange, but they had a chance. So we'll
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: go Broncos. The Super Bowl runner-ups aren't just going to disappear.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: quietly into the night. I don't think Mike Grable is
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: going to allow that. They'll be six. Seven. Sneak it
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: into the playoffs. Justin Herbert, he played, you know, they
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: got a great defense, but Duvall and Trevor Lawrence and
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: that receiving core is going to be too much to overcome,
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: I think. Jacksonville for the sevens.
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to go on record right now. I
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: feel like now's the time. I think the Bengals are
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: going to shock some people this year. I think they're
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: going to be finishing a top three seed come playoff time.
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: I think they win their division. That's one shock. I
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: also think the Chargers, Richard, Make the wild card. I
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: think they're going to put some pressure on that division
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: as well. Mike McDaniel, Justin Herbert being able to sling
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: the rock all over the yard. You and I differ
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: when it comes to those teams. I got the Chargers
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: and the Bengals.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: So who do you have out?
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: The Ravens. I hate to do it to the Jags.
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: I got to do it to the Jags. I love you, Duvall,
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: but I.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: He doesn't love you like that. Oh, shit.
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Jags fans.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: You see how hard it is, Mitchell? Yeah. It's not easy.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the hot seat.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: Guys, this recaps our AFC preview. Please, if you guys
