Transcript
- 0:00Welcome, Welcome, welcome, welcome, Welcome back to another episode of the
- 0:04so called Sports Analysts, Episode number twenty. Josh, how you doing today?
- 0:09Doing pretty good? Man, a pretty good weekend of football. We
- 0:12saw some big games, we saw some highs. We saw some lows for
- 0:16you, some pretty big lows. But done watching the Spurs get killed by
- 0:22the Pacers, So I get it's another low. It's a low for me
- 0:24also, So I'm ready to get into the pod. Yeah, no,
- 0:28you're you're joining me. Not only one of us is going to be sat
- 0:31today on the pod. But before we get started, you guys, whatever,
- 0:35you guys are listening to us on Spreaker, Spotify, ir Radio,
- 0:38Google Podcast, Amazon Music, Audible. You guys could follow us on Twitter
- 0:44at Flying Garcia one hundred or Underscore Alfonso zero three. But we're gonna go
- 0:49ahead and get straight into it, and we're gonna start off with the Monday
- 0:52night football game like normal, and the Chargers they beat the Jets twenty seven
- 0:57to six. Josh, what did you take away from this game? Right
- 1:00here? If the New York Jets had a quarterback, they would probably be
- 1:03winning this football game. No other than that their defense, the Jets defense
- 1:08played pretty well, like it's hard to hold the offense for so long down
- 1:14like outside the first quarter and well, really, no, the special teams
- 1:18let a touchdown go. Second quarter, three points, third quarter, zero
- 1:22points. In that fourth quarter, you just get tired. You're too much
- 1:26on the field ten points. As for Justin Herbert, he didn't look too
- 1:30great today. Sixteen for thirty only one thirty six. Austin Eckler looked all
- 1:34right. He had two, he had a goal line two goal line touchdowns,
- 1:38fourteen for forty seven. The defense played pretty well considering that they were
- 1:42playing the Jets offense, but all in all, it was kind of like
- 1:47a stale game most of the time. For most of the most part,
- 1:52Yeah, no, this game it was. It was a boring game,
- 1:55let's be honest here. And every time I watch the Jets play it makes
- 1:59me dan. They're a five hundred team without Aaron Rodgers. So if they
- 2:02had Aaron Rodgers, who even at this point he didn't even have to be
- 2:07MVP Aaron Rodgers, they would be one of the best teams in the NFL.
- 2:10Because at this point, like you said, they only gave up that
- 2:15special team touchdown and then there was a couple of fumbles where the Chargers they
- 2:20just took advantage of with the short field. So it's just if they had
- 2:23Aaron Rodgers, they'd really be nice. Even if Aaron Rodgers he does come
- 2:27back this year, I don't think it'd really be till next year where they
- 2:30actually start being a viable threat. But as far as from the Chargers side
- 2:38that this offense, I know, twenty seven points, it looks good just
- 2:42looking at the box score, but they did not have a good game.
- 2:45Justin Herbert, he was inefficient. He was running for his life the entire
- 2:47time, and he had some overthrows and the one that stood out to me
- 2:54was the one with Keenan Allen where he overthrew him Keenan Allen, he just
- 2:58made a great play, but he just didn't look like himself. And as
- 3:04far as from the Chargers, so these next four games they have the Lions,
- 3:09Chargers or Lions Packers, Ravens and Patriots. Do you think that they
- 3:15could start making a run to the playoffs or you just think they just took
- 3:20care of a bad team right here, Josh, No, I do think
- 3:23there's gonna be a run for the playoffs. For the Chargers, I just
- 3:27think they're stuck in no man's land, Like they have all the talent in
- 3:29the world, but they just can't seem put the games together or the drives
- 3:32together to end up competing with the very best. And I just feel like
- 3:38if we look at a run a push for the playoffs, they're really going
- 3:43to look towards the AFC North for that. And with the Browns, Jets
- 3:49are not with the Jets, the Browns, Stealers, and Bengals all in
- 3:53a race right now. So I think the Chargers are stuck in a little
- 3:57bit of no man's land right now because that with those tough teams you just
- 4:00brought up, I don't see them. I see them maybe going one in
- 4:02three in the next four games. Yeah, No, that's very realistic to
- 4:08happen. And then with Brandon Staley, it's gonna put him in a bad
- 4:12spot because he's fighting for his job this year, and I think Kellen more
- 4:17and more and more likely he's gonna be getting this job. And honestly,
- 4:19I don't even think this is an upgrade or it's going to be an upgrade.
- 4:24So how would you feel about Kevin Moore? Getting this starting or the
- 4:28head coaching job for the Chargers. Do you think it would be better for
- 4:30them or do you think it's going to be exactly the same. I don't
- 4:34know. I can't really say that would be better because we've also never seen
- 4:39Kellen Moore in that position of being a head coach. But I'm sure he
- 4:42would bring all a different attitude in a different culture, as every new coach
- 4:46does to their new teams. For the Chargers, he would bring that,
- 4:51like maybe he'd be a rejuvenation inside the locker room, like as the head
- 4:56person. But I don't know. We'll just have to wait and see if
- 5:00that does end up happening. That's for Brandon Staley. I just feel like
- 5:05he's toward his end with the Chargers. He really wasn't hasn't been able to
- 5:10make the most of his opportunities, whether it's like multiple games for years in
- 5:15a row where he was too aggressive where he went forward on all the fourth
- 5:18downs, where he was throwing the ball down the field especially, and then
- 5:23this year he just can't put the wins together to make him make his team
- 5:28really competitive. Yeah, I agree with you one hundred percent, but we're
- 5:31gonna go ahead and move on to this next game. Right here, another
- 5:34coach that may be fighting for his job. It's a Sunday night football game,
- 5:40the Buffalo Bills versus the Cincinnati Bengals, in which the Bengals they won
- 5:45twenty four to eighteen. Now the Bengals they go to five and three and
- 5:48the Bills they go to five and four again. I guess I'm gonna be
- 5:54saying this every week. I know you said you're not shaking in your boots,
- 5:58You're you're not nervous about it. But now are you finally nervous about
- 6:01the Bengals and what they're becoming? Again? Though I'm not nervous yet,
- 6:09only because it's still a three ray way race in that AFC North between them
- 6:13and the Browns and the Steelers, and the Browns and Steelers keep eking out
- 6:16wins and the Bengals are on the way. There's there's still the same Bengals
- 6:21that we've seen in the past couple of years. It took them a little
- 6:24bit, like I did last year, to get going. It's a little
- 6:27it's it is scary when Joe Burrow spraying the ball around like he did this
- 6:30last game. He hit t Higgins eight times, Tyler Boyd three times,
- 6:35Tamar Hudson four times, the tight tender Hudson four times, and then Jamar
- 6:41Chase only had four for forty one. When Jamar Chase only has four for
- 6:44forty one and the rest of the guys are cooking, that's just a recipe
- 6:47for a win for the Bengals. But I'm not necessarily scared because right as
- 6:53of right now, they're not even in the playoffs. Still, they still
- 6:55have to work their way up into this into those positions, but I think
- 6:58they they'll end up getting a spot. I think they could even end up
- 7:03jumping up to potentially that five seed right there, because I know next week
- 7:10they have the Texans, then they have the Ravens, Steelers, Jaguars.
- 7:13It's a tough schedule, but when have they not proven to beat these tough
- 7:17teams right here, So it's something that I can see happening. And they
- 7:21weren't even able to run the ball against Buffalo and they were still driving down
- 7:27the field. But as far as from this Bills team, I think that
- 7:30they're going to miss the playoffs now because the Bills team, I know they
- 7:34have the Broncos next, but then they have the Jets, who they lost
- 7:38to Week one without Aaron Rodgers, so they have seen this exact same team
- 7:42and lost. Then they have the Eagles, Chiefs, Cowboys, Chargers,
- 7:46Patriots, and Dolphins. So this isn't an easy remaining schedule. This is
- 7:50one of the toughest schedules remaining remaining in the league. And you're kind of
- 7:56at the midway point now and you're seeing who the real team and who the
- 8:01pretenders are. So do you think they're more a pretender or a more playoff
- 8:05team? I prayed think at the beginning of the season, before I got
- 8:11on the pot that I felt like they wouldn't make the playoffs only because the
- 8:16AFC East has worked its way up to being a stack division with it,
- 8:18I thought the Dolphins and Jets would get their way out of this, And
- 8:22to me, it still looks like probably it could go that way if the
- 8:26Jets can somehow figure it out, which I don't Probably don't think they will
- 8:28on offense. But for the Bills, man Mike, I really didn't see
- 8:31them really improve much. If anything, they'd lost much on their team.
- 8:37Like people looked at Tremaine Edmonds as like an okay, loss, but he's
- 8:43a glue guy, like he's been on that team for years, for years
- 8:46already. Their their defensive corodinator. I forgot his name. Yeah, Leslie
- 8:56Fraser. They lost Leslie. They lost Leslie Fraser for the for the season
- 9:01with him taking a year off considering retirement. That's a big loss. Like
- 9:03when you're defensive coordinator. Over the last couple of over since the Bills have
- 9:09been good leaves, like, that's a whole new culture coming, that's a
- 9:13whole new game plan coming, and you have to adjust sure Davis White Kings
- 9:16stay healthy. Their first round draft pick kayro Elam last year is a healthy,
- 9:20inactive every single game from and he's a first round pick last year.
- 9:28So you missed on that pick, and that's just not looking good for them.
- 9:31They can't run the ball. Josh Allen continues to look for the big
- 9:35plays, doesn't take the dink and dunks, and it hurts his team in
- 9:39the long run. Yeah, Josh Allen. Usually he's up and down,
- 9:43up and down, and he has those high highs and then those those very
- 9:48low valleys. But lately he hasn't even been that dynamic of a quarterback.
- 9:54Because even against Tampa last week. He wasn't that spectacular. And I think
- 10:00Sean McDermott, what I kind of hinted to at the very beginning before we're
- 10:05talking about this, I think he's gonna be on the hot seat because he's
- 10:09been here for what has been already about five six years something like that.
- 10:13I think even longer. So it's not even like this defense they're playing at
- 10:20a top three or top five level, because if you're a defensive coach and
- 10:24you've been with the team for so long, your strong suit should be the
- 10:26defense, and it's not. It's just not you're better off having an offensive
- 10:33coach Ben Johnson, Kellen Moore, Eric Bienemy. You're better off higher in
- 10:37one of those coaches and just forcing it all on Josh Allen and having this
- 10:43high scoring offense from there, because you're gonna have to compete with the Patrick
- 10:48Mahomes, the Lamar Jacksons. The two was whoever you're gonna have to So
- 10:54do you think that Sean McDermott he's on the hot seat. I think he
- 10:58is a the hot seat because we've seen many coaches who always make the playoffs.
- 11:03We've seen that from Mike Tomlin. We've seen it from John Harbaugh.
- 11:07We've seen it from the coach for the Bengals for the longest time. Why
- 11:13am I going blank on my history right now? Marvin Lewis. Marvin Lewis's
- 11:18was, Yeah, Marvin. We saw Marvin Lewis when he was with the
- 11:22Bengals win the division. We've seen him get to the to the divisional round.
- 11:26We saw him for eight straight years, he or a seventh straight years
- 11:30something like that. He had a winning record, got to the playoffs every
- 11:33single year. Bounce out the first round, bounce out the second round.
- 11:37What if you have a franchise quarterback in Josh Allen, you have Stefan Diggs,
- 11:41you get big money to your defense. Usually you your ownership will start
- 11:46to want to see results. And if they feel like you're they're stuck in
- 11:50kind of a kind of like a like an even play, like they don't
- 11:56see themselves tilting towards the higher ups, they're gonna get rid of you.
- 11:58They're going to look for some that can maybe put the team over the hump.
- 12:01And if he doesn't get it done this year, I think this maybe
- 12:03the last year we see Doug McDermott coaching on the sidelines for the Buffalo Bills.
- 12:09Yep, even though he's a good coach, you have to see results.
- 12:13But all right, uh, we're gonna get into this next game right
- 12:18here, I think we already know which game they were talking about. So
- 12:24the Dallas Cowboys. They lost to the Philadelphia Eagles twenty eight to twenty three,
- 12:30and now the Eagles go to eight and one, which are the best
- 12:33or have the best record in the league. Josh, what were your takeaways
- 12:37from this game? Okay, I'm tired. Okay, I know it's gonna
- 12:41sound I'm tired of Cowboys friends posting today about miss calls and everything like that.
- 12:48I mean, okay, honestly they were were there, there were miss
- 12:52calls, But dude, this happens in every NFL game. Like you go
- 12:56break down the tape in any game and any teams win, in any team's
- 13:00losses, There's always gonna be calls that were missed. There's gonna be there's
- 13:03holding on every play you could call, like you literally could break look at
- 13:07just watch the offensive line the whole game. I guarantee you see a holding
- 13:11once every other play or every play you see hands in the face from dp's
- 13:16all the time, it's getting physical out the line of scrimmage. You just
- 13:20still expect your receiver to work his way up down the field and get open,
- 13:24you know. So I just want the that to kind of end like
- 13:30clutch hill out like we see that with every every team. Every team gets
- 13:33missed calls. But other than that, it was a good football game,
- 13:37Like it was a really good football game if it really if you watch it,
- 13:41Dak Prescott balled out through seventy four to three touchdowns, zero interceptions.
- 13:45That's a big thing, and he was getting mobile out there. He was
- 13:48really moving. We saw Jalen Hurts continue. You could kind of see he
- 13:52was a little bit uh on easy playing today off his knee, but he
- 13:58still he looked okay. Seventeen for twenty three two o seven. They weren't
- 14:01really forcing the ball down the field like they're used to doing, and that's
- 14:05just comes with less time to throw the ball, like they're getting rushed by
- 14:09Michael Parsons also the Gazoo DeMarcus Lawrence. They're playing a better offensive a better
- 14:13defensive line than they're used to. So that says him getting the ball out
- 14:16quicker. He still was able to get the brotherly shoves first where he It's
- 14:22just unstoppable play. It works ninety two percent of the time all the time,
- 14:26you know how Jason Kelsey says it DEANDRESI look Kelsey, Yeah, he
- 14:31had a lot of carries Dean Dre Swift, but it was just to dictate
- 14:35the time of possession. AJ Brown came back a little bit down to earth
- 14:39this game, but he still had seven for seventy six and it's seven for
- 14:41sixty six and a touchdown and then I don't know, it was just a
- 14:45good football game all around to me, Like I had fun watching this game.
- 14:48Ceedee lamb balled out. It just comes I think it really comes down
- 14:52to the Cowboys finishing drives. Can I read a stat, Heroal quick?
- 14:56Yeah? Yeah, go ahead. They had twenty They had twenties evan first
- 15:00downs compared to the Eagles twenty. They ran seventy plays compared to the Eagles
- 15:05fifty nine. They had a total of four hundred and six yards compared to
- 15:09the Eagles two hundred and ninety two. This is just a matter of them
- 15:11getting to the red zone and finishing the job. And I think this is
- 15:15where it hurts them not having a lead like a real physical back like Ezekiel
- 15:20Elliott. We miss Ezekiel Elliott exactly, Ezekiel and pass protection. Ezekiel Elliott
- 15:26is a big red zone threat for them, and that's where we miss.
- 15:30Where the Cowboys are lacking is because Tony Pollard was never that handed to me
- 15:33down the middle. He's not a great running between the tacklers. He's an
- 15:37outside zone, he's an outside handoff, he's a toss, he's a screen
- 15:41pass waiting to happen, and that's where he is the most efficient. Running
- 15:46between the tackles is not where Tony Pollard makes its money, and that's where
- 15:48it hurts this team because they don't have a single back on this team that
- 15:50can do that, which is why the releasing of Ronald Jones really confused me.
- 15:56All Right, well, you made a bunch of great points there,
- 16:00and before I talked about from the Cowboys side, I just want to say,
- 16:03Okay, I know I'm a Cowboys fan, but I'm not gonna be
- 16:06hating on the Eagles right here. The Eagles, they showed why they're one
- 16:10of the best teams in the league because they find ways to win. They
- 16:14are a very resilient team, and Jalen Hurts, even though he was banged
- 16:18up, he did what he had to do to win. And like you
- 16:22said, they were just they basically just played keep away. And as far
- 16:29as with Dak Prescott, I kind of mentioned this last week. Dak Prescott
- 16:33those two games prior was playing at a top five level, and he showed
- 16:36once again that he is playing at a top five level right now. And
- 16:41that's why, coming from a Cowboys fan, it's kind of a little bit
- 16:45of optimism because obviously I think they're gonna win at Philly. That's just me
- 16:48being a Cowboys fan, but it's very realistic for them to lose in Philly.
- 16:53So he showed that he could step up in these championship caliber games and
- 16:59make big Dak Prescott was almost perfect. You could say, Okay, well
- 17:03he stepped out for the two point two point conversion, Well, okay,
- 17:07that happened. It wasn't like a fumble interception something like that. But the
- 17:11biggest thing that I took away from this was they weren't able to establish a
- 17:15run game and the right tackle Terence Still, he was getting beat up over
- 17:22and over and over and over and over again, I think it was a
- 17:26total of twelve pressures and I think like seven QB hits and three or four
- 17:30sacks. That is very unacceptable. Four sacks, So yeah, that's very
- 17:34unacceptable. But I feel like even with that right tackle issue, if they
- 17:40were able to establish a run game, just keep Philly off the field a
- 17:44little bit longer. Even though this defense didn't play as good as they should
- 17:48have, you would have given your defense a little bit of rest. And
- 17:52like you said, Tony Pollard, he's not in between the tackles guy.
- 17:56And as far as you saying we don't have that powers running back, I
- 18:00feel like we do. His name is Rico o' daldell. He just doesn't
- 18:04get as many touches as he should. He may be a smaller back,
- 18:07but he is a compact back. I think Tony Pollard he should be.
- 18:12He reminds me a lot of Felix Jones. Felix Jones, he was a
- 18:18dynamic back behind Marion Barber, very elusive and complimentary, gets that big play,
- 18:23but whenever he became that number one running back, he wasn't the same.
- 18:27He wasn't the same Felix Jones that he was with Marion Barber. You
- 18:32could say the same thing with Tony Pollard. But yeah, as far as
- 18:36this cowboy offense, I'm not concerned. I feel like this is very this
- 18:41this can be continuing on the rest of the season. Seedn Lamb to Dak
- 18:45that's just a great connection right there. I think a top three connection in
- 18:49the league. Jake Ferguson, he's continuing to look like a stud. And
- 18:55Dallas who they have next. They have the Giants, Panthers, Commanders,
- 18:59Seattle, who I think they should be, and then they play Philly next
- 19:03compared to Philly who they have Josh's team, the Chiefs, Monday Night Bills,
- 19:08Niners, and then the Cowboys. So even though the Eagles they have
- 19:12a two game stretch, it's not that crazy to say the Eagles they could
- 19:17lose two out of the next three games. But will it happened, I'm
- 19:22not sure. So. Do you have any last takeaways from this game right
- 19:26here? No, not really. It's just the coming down to the to
- 19:33the red zone, like you have to finish. Once you get down there,
- 19:37you have to put it in the end zone because if they do that
- 19:40one more time, if that if they get that touchdown to was it a
- 19:45Shoemaker, Yeah, Shoemaker on the on the goal. If they get it
- 19:48in there, they win this football game, like they're up like, so
- 19:52it's just a matter of getting it in there one time for one more touchdown.
- 19:56You you changed the outcome of this game. Yeah, And that's that's
- 20:00why I'm not necessarily concerned, because that's just a matter of game of inches
- 20:04right there were it could literally be a coin flip the other way. So
- 20:10I'm not gonna I'm not gonna be the Cowboys fans say, oh, well,
- 20:12the refs. This the refs that, like you say, Like you
- 20:15said, it happens a part of every single game, even if Cowboys fans
- 20:18want to say, well, refs, they're always out to get the Cowboys.
- 20:22No, it's just it's just mistakes that weren't called. Like the refs,
- 20:27they're human too, So I'm not going to be the ones to blame
- 20:30the refs. The Cowboys could have played better. And at the end of
- 20:33the day, like you said, if Shoemaker gets that touchdown in then it's
- 20:37a whole different ballgame. Then we're talking about the Cowboys going to the Super
- 20:41Bowl. Who knows, But all right, we're gonna talk about this.
- 20:45Next game. It was the Las Vegas Raiders versus the New York Giants,
- 20:52in which the new head coach, Antonio Pierce debuted with his new head coaching
- 20:59job and they won thirty to six. Josh, what did you take away
- 21:02from this game? The Raiders looked a little looked a lot more rejuvenated in
- 21:06this game. They looked like they had a lot more energy. They looked
- 21:07like they had a lot more excitement to enter this game. I think it's
- 21:11easier when the head coach understands the players, the players feelings, the players,
- 21:18what they go through. Because Antonio Pierce did play in the NFL,
- 21:21he played for the New York Giants actually, so he he understands what it
- 21:25takes on a day and day out basis. And I think that's where the
- 21:27respect comes from them. And they look pretty They look pretty fired up in
- 21:30this game. The difference they still fed Josh Jacobs. He had twenty six
- 21:36carries ninety eight yards eight and O'Connell looked okay, like he didn't look great,
- 21:40he didn't look bad, but he looked okay. He looked good.
- 21:41Sixteen for twenty five to nine, and then they didn't really get their receivers
- 21:47involved very much. Jacoby Myers and Devanta Adams still had an off off week,
- 21:52and DeVante Adams for basically four weeks in a row already he's had he's
- 21:56had off weeks, and then Jacoby Meyers just come back down to earth the
- 22:00last two games. But they still got the job done, which they probably
- 22:03should against this New York Giants team whose only weapon and everyone knows this is
- 22:07Saquon Barkley. You zero in on him. Game's over, like that's really
- 22:11all it is. Daniel Jones leaves his game with the torny Aco out for
- 22:15the rest of the season, so we're probably gonna see Tommy DeVito, the
- 22:21the Italian Stallion takeover. So it's just a it's just the A're probably fighting
- 22:27for a top five draft pick right now and hoping to look to grab one
- 22:32of the quarterbacks maybe like Drake May, Caleb Williams, Michael pennickx JJ McCarthy
- 22:37somewhere somewhere around along those lines. And that's for the Raiders. This may
- 22:41be an energy boost, but they still got to play the Chiefs twice.
- 22:44They haven't looked at their rest of their schedule so it's just a probably they're
- 22:48gonna come back to down the Earth I think in the next couple of games.
- 22:52Yeah. No, So the Raiders next schedule is the Jets, Dolphins,
- 22:56Chiefs, Vikings, Chargers, Chiefs, Colt, and Broncos. So
- 23:00they could lose every single one of those games. What I hear? Yeah,
- 23:04they could lose these next games. But before I get into what I
- 23:10what I saw from this game, did you end up seeing what Jake Lazer
- 23:12he said about Josh McDaniels, how the whole situation he lost his confidence and
- 23:18stuff like that. Yeah, he lost his confidence. And then Antonio Pears
- 23:22he basically said, when I was on that Giants team, we believe that
- 23:26we could win every single every single time, and we end up beating the
- 23:30Patriots, and Josh McDaniels basically said, don't talk about Daddy Bill Belichick like
- 23:33that. That's what he basically said. So, Josh McDaniels, he shouldn't
- 23:41even have gotten a head coaching job in the first place. Let's be honest,
- 23:44because this Denver stint, it was terrible, and you could just tell
- 23:48there's been a bunch of beneficiaries of just being a coordinator for Tom Brady,
- 23:53He's gotten many people jobs. But as far as from this game, like
- 23:59you said, Raiders just came out with some energy. But shout out to
- 24:02Max Crosby because he was standing on business. He said, y'all pull up
- 24:07to the Las Vegas Stadium and we're gonna show you what we're about. And
- 24:11that's damn right what he did. He had three sacks. I think he
- 24:15had six QB hits and I think he had yeah, one of the snaps
- 24:21and seven pressures. It was just ridiculous what he was doing. And as
- 24:25far as from Davonte Adams, please please just get some fantasy points. Please.
- 24:30I have you in multiple leagues and I lost very close games, so
- 24:34just start scoring. Just score a touchdown. I would have won in both
- 24:38leagues. Just start scoring touchdowns. Please. With the Giants game or from
- 24:44the Giant side, Daniel Jones, it sucks that he goes down that big
- 24:48contract right there that he just signed. So I was seeing as far as
- 24:52for the financials, so next year they would have to pay him. That
- 24:56is guaranteed. Then after that they could basically cut bait. I can get
- 25:00out, yeah, they could get out. So the more and more that
- 25:03you're looking at it. The win against Arizona, it's looking more devastating actually,
- 25:10because that could cost them a chance of getting Caleb Williams right there,
- 25:14which which sucks. I know Kyler Murray, he's coming back. But do
- 25:18you really think that Kyler Murray with this team that's not so good, will
- 25:22end up winning like three four more ballgames than the Giants. I don't.
- 25:26I don't think that's gonna happen. But yeah, I know, this Giants
- 25:29team just reboots, start to rebuild. Giants fans, just start getting ready
- 25:33for the draft process and start learning a couple of these names, because you're
- 25:40gonna need to. But any last takeaways from this game? Josh, No,
- 25:45that's all I had on this game. It wasn't very much to take
- 25:48away. It was I think two bad teams beating up on each other,
- 25:52one beating up on the other. Yeah, yeah, it was. But
- 25:55all right, the last three o'clock game that we had it was the Indianapolis
- 26:00Colts versus the Carolina Panthers, in which the Colts they won twenty seven to
- 26:04thirteen. The Colts they go to four and five, keeping their playoff hopes
- 26:08alive. What did you take away from this game. Right here, I
- 26:12see the Bryce Young panic is starting to come out again. So I still
- 26:18want to say take a breast everybody. Rookies had bad games, but this
- 26:21was a terrible game by Bryce Young. Bryce Young went twenty four for thirty
- 26:26nine, one seventy three, a touchdown, three interceptions. He rushed for
- 26:30five for forty one. When you were watched these games, some of the
- 26:33screen. One of the screen patches he had, he literally threw it to
- 26:37where the defender was just standing there waiting for the ball in front of his
- 26:40receiver take it back for a pick six. Another one where he threw to
- 26:42the flats on the other side, pick six. Again. It was just
- 26:45a rough day all in off the for the young rookie quarterback. But as
- 26:49for the Colts, were finally seeing Jonathan Taylor take over the backfield. As
- 26:53compared to Zach Moss and Johnathon Taylor had eighteen carries for forty seven. He
- 26:57had five catches. Zacha mas dropped the seven carries and I don't think he
- 27:02had any catches on the game. Now I look at it, he didn't
- 27:03have any. So it is Jonathan Taylor's back. Is Jonathan Taylor's backfield.
- 27:08Now back to where it's supposed to be. You pay him sixteen million dollars
- 27:11a year. Zach Moss isn't gonna be the getting that workload for for for
- 27:17long. But yeah, that's really where I took away. Bryce Young had
- 27:21a pretty hard game, Gardner Minshew didn't look amazing like he came back to
- 27:25down to earth a little bit in this game too. They're they're promising rookie
- 27:30Josh Dowens left with the I believe a knee injury, so we'll something to
- 27:33monitor for the next couple of weeks. Yeah, and uh, just once
- 27:38again, I guess I'm shouting out all the defensive players here, but just
- 27:41shout out to Kenny Moore. The second eight total tackle, seven solo,
- 27:45two pass deflections, and you had two pick sixes. You had one in
- 27:51your total career and you you literally doubled that. So just shout out to
- 27:56him. But honestly, I'm I'm not even gonna lie to you, Josh.
- 28:00I was too busy watching the Cowboys and Eagles game. I was too
- 28:03stressed. I had the red zone at the bottom. But honestly, I
- 28:07really didn't keep up with this game. But as far as with Bryce Young,
- 28:14like you said, I was one of the first ones to panic,
- 28:18but now I'm gonna be one of the last ones to panic. Now,
- 28:21I'm gonna say, just chill out, rookie year, and he just deserves
- 28:26a little bit more of a chance. At least give him, at least
- 28:29give him till Thanksgiving, give him another two to three games, two three
- 28:32weeks where let's see if he starts getting some of that some of that rhythm
- 28:37and getting a progression. I'm not saying he has to win games, just
- 28:41improve a little bit on just a down to down bases and just being being
- 28:47better, being better. I can't put it no other way. But all
- 28:52right, uh, let's go ahead and get into these twelve o'clock games.
- 28:56The first twelve o'clock game that we're gonna talk about, it's the Washington Commanders
- 29:00versus the New England Patriots. And what's the Commanders? They won twenty to
- 29:04seventeen off of late interception that Mac Jones threw. Josh, what did you
- 29:11take away from this game? Right here? Damn, arm talent is for
- 29:15real. He can throw the football, he can sling the thing. He's
- 29:18starting to get his weapons involved. He's starting to get Johann Dawson and Scary
- 29:22Tarry the football. And so it's a recipe for the recipe for wins.
- 29:26And what did I say, When you give Brian Robinson the football, you
- 29:30win football games. You win football games. When they had I understand he
- 29:36had ten carries versus the Eagles and they lost. They still score thirty one
- 29:40points in that game, like come on, like they went down to the
- 29:42wire with that team. But in the other two losses he only carried the
- 29:47ball eight times. This one eighteen carries sixty three yards in a touchdown.
- 29:49That's one touchdown compared to one passing touchdown. He you need to hand off
- 29:56your football, you need to get it in the end zone. You need
- 29:57to DIY take the game. Do that way. He's a good running back.
- 30:02Get them involved. That's for Sam Howe. Through twenty five and Alpha
- 30:06twenty nine forty five, he showed a lot more efficiency in this game.
- 30:10It's looking good. And as for the Patriots, Mac Jones just throws a
- 30:12late interception and II is the game game over. Ramondre Stevenson finally is starting
- 30:18to look like Vermond last year. Yeah, so that's that's good, that's
- 30:25exciting, but it's too little, too late. Already they're two and seven.
- 30:27There's no way they come back and make the playoffs. And then uh
- 30:32some good to and then they even got Juju Smith Schefstering involved finally six for
- 30:36fifty one. And then their rookie de Mario Douglass looked pretty good in his
- 30:41first game as basically the starter with Katchick Burn tearing his acl last week.
- 30:48So yeah, Romndra Stevenson starting look good. But the Commanders aren't won this
- 30:52game. They looked pretty good on offense, their defense was all right,
- 30:56especially without Montes Sweat and Chase Young. Now, so that's what I take
- 31:00away from that game. Yeah, I thought that the Commanders after they they
- 31:07didn't clean house, but it was damn near close to cleaning house on your
- 31:10defense. And I thought it was basically going to just be the end of
- 31:14their season where they're already talking about making trade for head coaches, get another
- 31:18quarterback. But again, they should be beating this Patriots team right here.
- 31:22This Patriots team, it is bad, and you have the better quarterback and
- 31:26Sahow he has been showing flashes and he's been a little bit more consistent as
- 31:32far as being good. So at the beginning of the season he was more
- 31:37up and down, up and down. So now you're kind of seeing what
- 31:40he is and it looks like he could be potentially around the twelve to fifteen
- 31:45range as far as a quarterback in the league, which is not a franchise
- 31:49quarterback. Somebody you could replace, but it's somebody that you'll be fine with.
- 31:53You don't have to you don't have to rush to replace him. He's
- 31:56a good, solid starter who could maybe start another five six years. And
- 32:02I don't know what it is. I guess just they say, oh know,
- 32:07Brian Robinson, when we want to win games, will use you,
- 32:10But when we don't want to win games, we won't use you. Like
- 32:14you're saying that's that. It's just it's just ridiculous. If you give Brian
- 32:17Robinson the ball ten ten times, they're gonna win the ball game. And
- 32:23there's nothing really else or nothing else really I took away from this game because
- 32:29this game it was born. It was born. I'm not I'm not gonna
- 32:31lie to you. This game was born. Any last takeaways from this game,
- 32:36No, just not really. That's I said everything I needed to say
- 32:42on this game, Well, all right, we're gonna go ahead and move
- 32:45on into this next game right here. It was the Los Angeles Rams versus
- 32:50the Green Bay Packers, in which the Rams they lost three to twenty and
- 32:55the Green Bay Packers they now moved to amazing three and five. I'm just
- 33:00kidding. Well, all right, Josh, what do you take away from
- 33:04this game? I think they took a lot of decisions out of Jordan Love's
- 33:08hands in this game. They didn't allow him to go into too many deep
- 33:13reads. They didn't allow him to really throw the ball down the field too
- 33:17much. They did a lot of Degan dunks in this game. Twenty he
- 33:22had twenty twenty for twenty six. That's pretty good from your quarterback. He
- 33:25only met incomplete. He didn't throw no interceptions in this game, but he
- 33:29only threw one touchdown. Aaron Jones. They finally got a healthy Aaron Jones
- 33:34back. He ran the ball twenty times for seventy three yards and had four
- 33:37catches for twenty six yards. Like I said, once you start getting your
- 33:40running backs involved, for your young quarterback, it takes a lot of weight
- 33:45off his shoulders. I want to see him get his stars involved more.
- 33:49When I talk about Romeo Dobbs and Christian Watson, start getting the ball more.
- 33:52If you get Christian Watson the ball in open space. Christian Watson is
- 33:55one of the best finishers in the NFL when it comes to scoring touchdowns.
- 34:00So if you get him the football and let him make things happen with the
- 34:02ball in his hands, that's a good that's a good way to go about
- 34:06your day. And as but the rookie tied end Luke Musgraves looked pretty good.
- 34:10They're for fifty one in a touchdown to have him in a fantasy league,
- 34:13so it helped me out with his fourteen points, Thank you, Luke.
- 34:15But as far as the the Los Angeles Rams, I think this is
- 34:20just more not having Matthew Stafford. You weren't able to get some of the
- 34:23deep throws, some of the some of the big plays happening just because Brett
- 34:28Ripen is just not that guy compared to Matthew Stafford. Matthew Stafford is one
- 34:30of the best arm talents we've ever seen in the NFL, and uh,
- 34:35it kind of showed. Cooper Cup two for forty eight, Pokinakoa three for
- 34:37thirty two, they both had seven targets. Once he comes back, I
- 34:42think they go back to still scoring a lot of points. I think them
- 34:45losing Kyen Williams hurt a lot in this season because he was their bell cow.
- 34:49He was there do it all backs. It just hurt them, uh
- 34:53because they were winning games with him and now you don't have a consistent run
- 34:58game, and that's where it hurts your team. Yeah, the Rams,
- 35:02they're just so banged up. But after winning that Super Bowl, they paid
- 35:07the due. They have to stick with this bad roster, all these big
- 35:12contracts that you have to pay, it's just part of it. They went
- 35:15all in, so they got what they wanted. They got the Super Bowl
- 35:19out of it. So nothing really to take away from the Rams, especially
- 35:22with Matt Stafford being out. But the Packers, I know, I said
- 35:27Jordan Love was a rookie, and Jordan Love, like you said, he
- 35:31was on the training wheels. I'm just not buying Jordan Love. I think
- 35:36give him another two or three weeks and if I don't see another big progression,
- 35:40honestly, you should try to just find another quarterback. You're better off
- 35:44with the rookie quarterback here. That's Okay, it's I know. I said
- 35:50he was a rookie quarterback, but your reads should be a lot faster because
- 35:53you've been in the NFL four or five years. You have been playing against
- 35:58the against defensive preseason, preseason or not, and practices are not. Your
- 36:05process should be way quicker. And it's just not there. And Matt Lafleur,
- 36:09he just said, you're not gonna cast us this game right here,
- 36:13You're not. And I think that you could draft Drake May and Michael Pennox
- 36:19or JJ McCarthy and do the exact same thing on a cheaper contract and go
- 36:23get more stars around you because you have some pieces around you. You have
- 36:28Aaron Jones, Christian Watson, Romeo Dobbs, Luke Musgrave. So there's no
- 36:32reason for you to look this average, you know what I mean, because
- 36:38it's still go ahead. Oh, I'm only saying because like how you're saying,
- 36:44he is a roockie quarterback quote unquote, but he did sit behind one
- 36:50of the best quarterbacks of all time for three years. He sat behind him
- 36:53three yeah, three years. Yeah, and then we've seen we didn't see
- 36:58we Every time you ually a quarterback does that, he usually balls out.
- 37:01We've seen Mahomes sit behind Alex Smith for a year. We saw Aaron Rodgers
- 37:06himself sit behind for a year, and they both came And Jordan Love is
- 37:10a first round draft pick. It's not like he was drafted in the fifth
- 37:13round then behind him. No, he was. He was made to be
- 37:16the starter, like this was the projection, and we saw Patrick Mahomes and
- 37:21Aaron Rodgers take over. They wouldn't have believe in Jordan Love enough if he
- 37:24didn't have the arm talent, because he does have the arm talent. If
- 37:28he didn't, if they didn't see potential in him, he's just not living
- 37:30up to the potential that they thought that he had. Yeah, and I
- 37:35think he needs to show it, and I think you can showcase it in
- 37:39these next few games. So you have the Stills, that's a tough one
- 37:43right there, but you should at least show flashes. Then you have the
- 37:46Chargers, Lions, Chiefs, Giants, Buccaneers, Panthers, Vikings, Bears.
- 37:52So you have it's a tough schedule. But again it's kind of like
- 37:58with Bryce Young here. You don't need to be winning these games. You
- 38:00just need to show improvement on a week to week basis, that's the biggest
- 38:05thing because Michael Pennix, Caleb Williams, Drake May you put these three quarterbacks
- 38:13in this exact same system. I'm that confident saying that they're better than Jordan
- 38:17Love and what he's doing right now. But all right, we're gonna go
- 38:22ahead and get into this next game right here, and which this game,
- 38:27it was a crazy game right here, Josh Dobbs just shout out to him
- 38:32coming in on Tuesday and having a game winning drive against Atlanta Falcons in which
- 38:37they won thirty one to twenty eight. Josh, this was a pretty exciting
- 38:43game right here. So what did you take away from this one? Right
- 38:45here? Thross Jobs, big break, That's what I take away from it.
- 38:51No, it was pretty cool to watch him just taking the hillman and
- 38:57lineman on the sideline, just like, all right, guys, my name
- 39:00is Josh Jobbs. Nice to meet y'all. All right, this is how
- 39:02I snapped the football. This is my this is my this is my reads,
- 39:06this is my my count this is this is how I I throw the
- 39:09defense off. And they just practice it right there for two minutes and they
- 39:14were like, all right, let's go do it, so that was pretty
- 39:17cool. Josh Thombs just continues to do what he's been doing all season and
- 39:22even what he did last year with the Titans almost getting them into the playoffs
- 39:24last year. He just continues to put himself in good positions, and like
- 39:30we said in the last one, he's put already put himself where he's gonna
- 39:34be, where he has a career no matter what, as a career backup,
- 39:37like he's always gonna be and have a job. Yeah, he's doing
- 39:40that for himself right now. But today he but this year he's looked like
- 39:45a starter. He's looked like he can He's capable enough to win your team
- 39:47football games. I guess I get he didn't win out in Arizona, but
- 39:52he had them in positions to win. It's just a matter of him having
- 39:55a better team around him. And he does have a better team around him
- 39:58with the Vikings, and we saw that translate into a thirty one point outing
- 40:01and a win for the for them. He had twenty He went twenty for
- 40:05thirty one to fifty eight, two touchdowns, and he had seven for sixty
- 40:07six on the ground in a touchdown, and he led a pretty good final
- 40:13drive to get with the pass Supernar Palell at the at the goal line for
- 40:17a touchdown, and it was it was cool. So you could see the
- 40:21energy pretty being brought up for that Minnesota Vikings team once he started started cooking.
- 40:27And it's just I think this is in titles if they keep winning games,
- 40:30because they do have a pretty easy schedule coming up. This entitles Justin
- 40:35Jefferson. If they're in this playoff hunt, Justin Jefferson will come back for
- 40:37this team to play. Yeah, and it's it's gonna look scary. Obviously
- 40:42he's not as good as Kirk Cousins, but he's more than more than solid
- 40:46enough. But again, I I guess this is just something I guess we're
- 40:52gonna be saying every single week, Arthur Smith, please get your star players.
- 41:00The damn football Bijon Robinson should not be getting a total of thirteen touches,
- 41:07eleven carries, fifty one yards four point six yards per carry. He
- 41:12is dominant. I don't care that Tyler Algear. He was there last year
- 41:15and he was a thousand yard rusher. He was the eighth overall pick.
- 41:19You spent high draft capitol on him, Use him, use him as your
- 41:23star running back and you win this damn football game. I know you're not
- 41:30trying to win fantasy football games, but try to win football games in general.
- 41:34Just try to hit football games. And I think that was a stat
- 41:37that said Arthur Smith. He's only used Bijon Robinson in the red zone this
- 41:43entire season, I think a total of eight times, and he's only got
- 41:45about two or three touches. He's only used him one time within five yards
- 41:51of the end zone. Wow, that see what I'm saying. That makes
- 41:55no sense right there. And I know John O. Smith he had that
- 41:59big, nice touch down. But Kyle Pitt, again, you spent high
- 42:01draft capital on him. I think after this year he's he's gonna be gone.
- 42:07But as far as like you were saying with the Vikings, they have
- 42:10a softer schedule coming up. You have the Saints, which that's a tough
- 42:15one, and then you have the Broncos, Bears, Raiders, Bengals,
- 42:19Lions, Packers, Lions. So you could see this team maybe being a
- 42:23fringe nine to eight. Maybe they could upset a team go ten and seven
- 42:29something like that, because Josh Dobbs is more than capable enough. And yeah,
- 42:36uh when justin Jefferson, he comes back this team, they could look
- 42:40not scary, but I guess you could say they could be an upset waiting
- 42:45to happen. No, but for your bijon take dude, it's totally true.
- 42:51Eleven for fifty one compared to Algiers twelve for thirty nine. Which one's
- 42:53standing more efficient? Which one sounded like he was getting more yards? Like
- 42:58come on, dude, like he has his speed. I saw a tweet
- 43:00today someone put Vjon wasn't even a generational talent and then someone someone commented,
- 43:07what has Arthur Smith done? Like they they've taken people where they're doubting Jhon
- 43:10Robinson's talent. And Jon Robinson has all the talent in the world to be
- 43:15the best running back in the world, Like he could literally he has that
- 43:17type of talent. Like you're not getting him the football. I'm not asking
- 43:22them to feed it like they did Zeke three hundred and ninety two times his
- 43:24rookie year. No, but I still want you to at least get him
- 43:29to two hundred and fifty touches. At this rate, he's not going to
- 43:31get there. Like if you get him, have you if you give him
- 43:35four more touches in this game. I guarantee you it changes the outcome of
- 43:37this game because it's a game of inches. Yeah, inches decided football games,
- 43:42and b Jon Robinson can turn inches into fifty yards. He could turn
- 43:45into sixty years. He may not have like the super speed, but he's
- 43:49elusive as like, yeah he he and he only had two catches on the
- 43:53day. One of Bjon's best trades is that he could be a wide receiver
- 43:57if he wanted to be a slot receiver if he wanted to, and he
- 44:00only has two catches, it doesn't make any sense. You win more football,
- 44:02I bet you if you get him the ball more. This Falcons team
- 44:07could be sitting at six and three. They could be sitting at seven.
- 44:10Not seven to two, but they could be sitting at six and three.
- 44:13They could at least be five and four. Yeah, based off this game.
- 44:16So yeah, so it's like, give him the football and good things
- 44:20will happen for your football team because his defense is pretty good. They're not
- 44:23a bad tea. They've kind of let something slip up the last couple of
- 44:25weeks, but they are still a good football team. They're a good run
- 44:29defense, they have a good they have good they're a good defense all around.
- 44:31It's just a matter of getting your playmakers the ball to give your team
- 44:34the best chance to win. And tail Heinek, he looked good, like
- 44:37he didn't look bad. He doesn't have the great arm talent. He's a
- 44:39game manager. He's a little he's a he's a good athlete, but he's
- 44:44just gonna He's just there to fill a role. Yeah, yeah, but
- 44:50let's go man. I can't even talk about the Falcons without getting frustrated.
- 44:52It makes no sense. But all right, let's go ahead and get into
- 44:55this next game. Right here, it was the Chicago Bears versus the New
- 45:00Orleans Saints, in which the Saints they won twenty four to seventeen, and
- 45:05now the Saints they go to five and four. Josh, what did you
- 45:08take away from this game right here? Finally getting Chris Ola away the football,
- 45:15or at least trying to get him into open space to get the football.
- 45:17I guess, I guess he didn't have like insane amount of yardage,
- 45:22but he was really getting himself a lot of open with the routes that he
- 45:24was running a lot of like inside and out, like he was hitting a
- 45:28lot of a lot of flats. He was getting a lot of drags.
- 45:34He was just getting himself open like he was he was running really good routes.
- 45:38He went six or forty six in a touchdown. Once you get your
- 45:40dislike the Favens, once you get your star players the football, you might
- 45:44win a football game. So and then Ak kind of came back down to
- 45:47earth a little bit. I guess he had for forty four, nine for
- 45:52twenty six. This isn't a very efficient running football team, just because their
- 45:55offensive line is really banged up and they're probably one of the worst in the
- 45:59league right now. And then Derek Carr it looked okay, twenty five for
- 46:02thirty four to eleven, two touchdowns. I get I think we're saying that
- 46:06with a lot of teams this week, like their quarterbacks just looked okay,
- 46:08like they were really blowing it away. And then my least third player in
- 46:12the world, Tasting Hill, continues to somehow do something with himself. Eleven
- 46:17for fifty two, pretty efficient running the football, and he caught and he
- 46:22he caught four for thirteen in a touchdown. I guess he's just that's just
- 46:27his role in the NFL, just whatever they need you to do, do
- 46:30it. So and as for the Bears, Tyson Badget had some good times.
- 46:36He had some really bad times. Like he had some like he was
- 46:38he was doing like he was throwing the ball like some players where I'm like,
- 46:42hey, that's a good throw. He ran a couple of times like
- 46:44damn, that guy can that guy can move pretty fast. And then he
- 46:46would throw into like a cold commet who was who's yeah, who was triple
- 46:52covered and the guy that intercepted it, a DEVO was standing right in front
- 46:55of him, like literally, he's like covering co commit completely and he just
- 47:00throws it directly to him. And then in the middle of the field he
- 47:04throws a pick to a devo again where he's just blanketing his guy running across
- 47:07the middle. And then so it was just it was a pretty bad day
- 47:10for Tasting Badget. He had some good moments, some really bad moments.
- 47:14Deontay Foreman became the workhorse Roshawn Johnson. I don't know if they're being cautious
- 47:19with him, but he's not getting the football at all. Deyontay Foreman somehow
- 47:22every year gets doubted, but he becomes a starter once he starts cooking,
- 47:27So so I don't know how it's gonna look with Khalil Herbert comes back,
- 47:30if he does come back. And then Darnel Mooney was pretty efficient five for
- 47:35eighty two, probably the best outside the DJ Moore big game. That was
- 47:37probably the best performance a Bears receiver has had all year. But other than
- 47:44that, the Things defense is still pretty good. And then the Bears are
- 47:49just hoping to get the first pick. I guess, yeah, the Bears.
- 47:54I think they have the second and third overall pick. Yeah, yeah,
- 47:58they have the second and third over I'll pick. But for a second,
- 48:02when this game started, when the Bears and Tyson Baggett they went up
- 48:07fourteen to seven, I was like, holy crap, Justin Fields, he
- 48:10may actually be fighting for his starting job soon. Then after that it's like,
- 48:14oh, well, never mind, Justin Fields. He should be coming
- 48:17back next week against the Panthers and Tyson Baggett. He had a good,
- 48:25good run while it lasted. It's I think it's like ninety that Justin Field's
- 48:30gonna play. So he had a good run while it lasted. He'll be
- 48:34a backup. He showed moments of spurts Cole kmet Also, that was a
- 48:38nice snag when they went up seven to zero, that one hand snag right
- 48:44there. That was nice right there. And from the Saint side, I'm
- 48:49just not impressed. Well, I'm just not impressed with the NFC South in
- 48:52general. Like it's just it's just a replication of last year. Like this,
- 48:58it's literally beating up each each other. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah,
- 49:04Taysom Hill, he throws the ball, he runs the ball, he
- 49:07catches the ball, he does the laundry, he does the dishes, cooks
- 49:10for you. I heard he was handing out T shirts after the game,
- 49:15of helping sell merchandise. He does everything. He's just a team player right
- 49:20there. But I still think that the Saints they should win this division right
- 49:23here, because it's a terrible division. You have the most talent, you
- 49:28have the best defense, and quote unquote the best quarterback in the division.
- 49:32I'm not going to mess up on that again like I did last week.
- 49:36Have the best quarterback in the division. So yeah, they should win.
- 49:39But all right, let's get into this next game right here. It involved
- 49:45the NFC South. But this game, it was actually very electric right here.
- 49:50It was a very fun game. And what CJ. Stroud led the
- 49:54Texans. I think it was about forty seconds left on a game winning touchdown
- 50:00in which they won thirty nine to thirty seven. Josh, what did you
- 50:04take away from this game? This game was amazing. I'm not gonna lie.
- 50:09I think we saw the Buccaneers at its fullest potential of what it can
- 50:13be on offense, and we saw the Texans at his fullest potential what it
- 50:16could be on offense. And it was just a good game to watch.
- 50:20Like if you go and if you can just watch the highlights of this game,
- 50:22you'll probably like be glued to the TV watching it. Let's start with
- 50:28I'll start with the Buccaneers. Baker Mayfield played really good, Like if you
- 50:30really watch this game, he was throwing some pretty good balls, it would
- 50:34look like Baker Mayfield, Like it looked like the real Baker Mayfield out there,
- 50:37Like he was slinging it. He was hitting on Mike Evans, was
- 50:40he was hitting Kate Awden in some Kate Awden made some pretty good plays in
- 50:44this game, like he caught a touchdown vertical seam over his defender. He
- 50:50was getting open, like he did some pretty good Mike Evans just did.
- 50:52Mike Evans thinks he's one of the best receivers of all time, most consistent
- 50:58receivers of all time, and he just showed that, mister consistent. Rashaun
- 51:01White Finally, I've been calling they need to get this run game going.
- 51:07It wasn't the most efficient running game, but they got a run game going
- 51:09in this one seventies. I think they realized. I think they realized running
- 51:14back by committee probably isn't the move. Let's just give our starting running back
- 51:16with the most talent the football and they did that. Twenty for seventy three.
- 51:20He had two touchdowns. He looked pretty good running the football, but
- 51:22where he looked the best was catching the football four for forty six. He
- 51:25was really he was making a lot of things, making a lot of people
- 51:29miss, finding the open field and running. Now let's get to the talk
- 51:34of the week. CJ. Stroud. CJ Stroud had a coming out party
- 51:38in this game. He had well, I guess he's been coming out all
- 51:44all season, all season, but this was a real like, this is
- 51:46you need to have these the signature the signature wins, and he had his
- 51:52signature win this year. He had thirty for forty two, forty four to
- 51:57seventy and five touchdowns. That is probably on that is unheard of. I
- 52:01don't remember the last time a rookie quarterback did this. Mahomes did it in
- 52:06his second year where he was little rookie. He had sat down and learned.
- 52:08So I looked up the stat before you go on. It was Andrew
- 52:12Luck. He had four hundred and thirty three passing yards in like three touchdowns.
- 52:16So yeah, he just he Yeah, that's a pretty elite company.
- 52:21Then that's a pretty elite company to be in with Andrew. Look, I
- 52:23get Andrew Luck didn't have a good end to his career, but that's one
- 52:27of the best quarterbacks we've ever seen play. So but CJ. Stroud thirty
- 52:31forty two, four seventy five touchdowns. The running game continues to be to
- 52:37so I'm not even gonna get into that. But as far as these receivers,
- 52:42when you talk about spreading the wealth, you spread it the wealth like
- 52:45you gave everybody. Like you get a car, you get a car,
- 52:49You get a car. Noah Brown six for one fifty three touchdown, ten
- 52:53for one thirty touchdown. Tank Dale finally comes back into his own after the
- 52:59injury, finally getting his feet underneath them six for one to fourteen two touchdowns
- 53:02and Nico Collins three for fifty four in a touchdown. He gave all his
- 53:07weapons. He's like, you know, guys, I'm gonna give y'all a
- 53:10gift. It may not be Christmas for another month and a half, but
- 53:13here y'all go. Like these type of games give guys big contracts. They
- 53:19so so. Uh. Yeah, it was just a good game to watch,
- 53:22man. I had fun watching this one. I thought both teams were
- 53:25gonna sell. C. J. Stroud had like a fumble like inside there
- 53:30inside the Buccaneers, what was it, like seventeen yard line. If the
- 53:35Buccaneers recover that football, that ice is the game. Yeah. And then
- 53:38on the other side, the Buccaneers also had a fumble. I can't remember
- 53:42who exactly fumbled it, but I watched it. I was like, oh
- 53:45my gosh, Like if they fumbled that and the Texans recovered it, it
- 53:49was ice the game right there. So it was like it was a pretty
- 53:51good game to watch, Like it was exciting, really high powered offenses,
- 53:54and it was just a good game in general. Yeah. Uh, this
- 53:59this was the best I feel like this was the best game of the weekend
- 54:02because it was just all the flash and then I scoring, oh, well,
- 54:07we're gonna talk about We're gonna talk about that game a little bit later.
- 54:12But yeah, I know, this game just back and forth the entire
- 54:15time and c J Stroud, he basically said, if you're damn damn S
- 54:20two, test your cognition test. As far as being one of the worst
- 54:23graders, he's I know, it makes no sense. He's he's not a
- 54:29test he's not a test taker. He's a he's a playmaker. There's a
- 54:32difference right there. J Stroud, he is. I'm I don't care overreaction
- 54:39or not. He is playing at a top ten quarterback level right now.
- 54:43You argue with your mama's I don't care. He's he's doing something that I
- 54:49haven't seen since Oh okay, well yeah, Andrew Luck As far as energy
- 54:54three NRG three R three RG three did yeah your rookie year, you're showing
- 55:00great flashes. And this Houston Texans Texans team they're probably projected to win four
- 55:07games in total this entire year. They're five hundred right now when they have
- 55:10a good shot of giving the Jaguars. Yeah, squeaking in or possibly giving
- 55:16the Jaguars a run for their money because the Jags have a tough schedule.
- 55:21So now in this division right here, what I could really take away from
- 55:27this game is that you have Trevor Lawrence, who's an up and coming running
- 55:31back or not running back, quarterback Anthony Richardson. I know he got hurt,
- 55:36but he showed great flashes. Then you have CJ. Stroud and Will
- 55:40Levis. He showed some flashes. So this could be from one of the
- 55:45worst quarterback divisions in the league to potentially being one of the best because all
- 55:51of these have shown other than Will Levis, top ten flashes in the league.
- 55:54They need to throw some quarterbacks to the NFC. Man, the AFC
- 55:58is getting two stack. Yeah no, but I don't mind. Hey,
- 56:02Dak Prescott's one of the best quarterbacks in the mind, I mind we should
- 56:07just quarterback. Yeah, but it makes our job easier. But from the
- 56:15Buccaneers side, I just feel bad for Baker Mayfield because Baker Mayfield, he's
- 56:22actually showing that he deserved this chance or this what this is his third chance
- 56:29because what Cleveland now fourth chance? Because Cleveland, Yeah, than Cleveland,
- 56:34Carolinas and now and he's actually had kind of just like our quarterback goes down
- 56:39to fill in. Yeah, yeah, that's true. But he's proving that
- 56:45he could be at worse a solid backup quarterback in this league, potentially a
- 56:51starter on like a filler team, a team where you want your rookie quarterback
- 56:54to sit or whatever it is. But yeah, this defense, they just
- 57:00didn't show up for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They have plenty of playmakers on
- 57:05that side. You have Videvea, you have Devin White, Levonte David So,
- 57:10you have the playoff game. Yeah, Jamel Dean, you have the
- 57:14playmakers on there. They just didn't show up. But there's nothing really else
- 57:19I could take away from this game. Just high level football or high high
- 57:22level offenses right here, just performing. But anything else you want to take
- 57:27away from this game, I think Show is the bona fide rookie of the
- 57:32year. If you think anyone else is in this conversation, I don't know
- 57:36who you're watching, but I really would like to hear it. But it
- 57:40was it was a fun game. It was a fun game to watch.
- 57:44Yeah, no, it was a fun game. But I agree with you
- 57:45as far as the Rookie of Year one hundred percent. Well all right,
- 57:49let's get into this next game right here. Before we talk about these next
- 57:52two games, these games that were that were supposed to be marquee games,
- 57:57we'll talk about this one first. The Arizona Cardinals against the Cleveland Browns,
- 58:00who lost twenty seven to zero, a goose egg, and Deshaun Watson he
- 58:06returned and I think he actually looked pretty good. What did you think,
- 58:12Josh, This was a bad defense to throw your rookie quarterback Clayton Tune in
- 58:17front of for his first ever NFL start, Like that was so messed up
- 58:22with the Arizona Cardinals, A dude, to that young man they threw him,
- 58:27like, hey, I understand you're gonna play Denzel Award and Miles Garrett
- 58:31this week, so just just get ready. And then they're like, like,
- 58:37come on, bro, that's messed up. But I mean, I
- 58:42hope Deshaun Watson looks good against this Arizona Cardinals team, Like come on,
- 58:45dude, Like, get they're one and seven. They don't have Josh Dobbs
- 58:49no more so they're not gonna be keeping up with you in offense. So
- 58:52I hope you freaking look good. So I'm not really taking away much from
- 58:57this game. I want to see him. I don't know who they're playing
- 58:59next, but I know he probably has to play the Bengals. I know
- 59:00he probably has to play the Steelers, and I know he has to play
- 59:02next then the Steelers. Yeah, go ahead, then will Yeah, then
- 59:07we'll see who dog Deshaun Watson really is in those games, which is probably
- 59:10probably gonna fake a shoulder injury and like ah, PJ Walker, Yeah,
- 59:15PJ Walker jumping. So the Browns and the Browns. The brown surprisingly didn't
- 59:22have a very good run game in this one. They fed Jerome Forward,
- 59:25they fed Jerome Ford twenty for forty four, and they fed Kareem Hunt fourteen
- 59:30for thirty eight. He's had a touchdown, but that just wasn't very efficient.
- 59:34Amari Cooper had a really big game. I benched him for Rashie Rice,
- 59:38which I thought Rashie Rice was gonna get more work in the second half,
- 59:42but Mark Cooper went crazy. Twenty four points in total. Yeah,
- 59:44but five for one thirty nine a touchdown. That's really good. Well,
- 59:47I'm really surprised that Eligen Moore only had two targets because Deshaun Watson when he
- 59:52was playing favor Yeah, he really favored him. When at the beginning of
- 59:57the season he had at least like eight targets per game, this one he
- 1:00:00at, which kind of surprised me. I just wonder if it was kind
- 1:00:01of game script, just kind of like let's not get our guys hurt or
- 1:00:05something like that, let's just kind of keep it, keep it slow and
- 1:00:07steady. So it was a the Browns should win this game, and they
- 1:00:10won this game. Yeah. Yeah, they took care of business. And
- 1:00:15it just makes me think, how did Josh Dobbs he made this offense functional.
- 1:00:20I don't understand it right here. I mean, Clayton Tune's a rookie
- 1:00:23man, Like, come on, I don't throw against his defense. Yeah,
- 1:00:28but well it is. It is a rookie Clayton Tune. Kyler Murray
- 1:00:32he should be back next week. I guess they just basically said ef it.
- 1:00:37Well, we're not even trying to win anyway until Cadder Murray gets back,
- 1:00:39even if they do try to win. But yeah, Cleveland Brown's,
- 1:00:45uh, nothing really to take away from this game. You have the Ravens
- 1:00:47and Steelers up next two big time divisional games, So you're really gonna see,
- 1:00:52not necessarily what your defense is made up. We already know what that's
- 1:00:54made of. They they've made some big time plays in big time games.
- 1:00:59But what this offense is made of with Deshaun Watson when he's fully healthy,
- 1:01:02because apparently Deshaun Watson he is fully healthy now, so we're gonna see how
- 1:01:07good he actually is. But there's nothing else to really take away from this
- 1:01:12game, and we're gonna go ahead and get into this other game right here
- 1:01:15that featured the AFC North team, in which the Baltimore Ravens again against another
- 1:01:21NFC team. They just buzz roll or bus bus saw. I was trying
- 1:01:25to say steamroll and buzzsaw at the same time. They did both of those
- 1:01:29to the Seattle Sea Hut. Yeah, yeah, buzz roll. But yeah,
- 1:01:35the Ravens they won thirty thirty seven to three. Josh, what did
- 1:01:38you take away from this game right here? Okay, so you know how
- 1:01:43we talked about them Dominagan Lions when they played them, Well, they dominated
- 1:01:46the Steahawks in this game. Yeah, gold Yards fifteen five, fifteen to
- 1:01:51one, fifty one first downs, twenty nine to six passing yardage. Oh,
- 1:01:54they didn't really pass the ball that much in this game, so to
- 1:01:58seventeen to one, twenty three yards two hundred and ninety eight rushing yards compared
- 1:02:02to a measly twenty eight. How do you have kids Walker and Zach Scharbaday
- 1:02:07on your team and you only run for twenty eight yards? And they dominated
- 1:02:12the time of possess him forty minutes while the while the Seahawks offense was only
- 1:02:20out there for nineteen minutes in this football game, they were out there for
- 1:02:23one third of the whole game. They This was his domination once again by
- 1:02:29the Baltimore Ravens, who looks to be probably the best team in the whole
- 1:02:31friggin NFL right now. I don't know this is a kid friendly show,
- 1:02:35but I want they look like to maybe be the best football team in the
- 1:02:38NFL right now. Oh they beat up saying that. Oh yeah, but
- 1:02:43I'm not saying they look. I said they look, I didn't say they
- 1:02:45all. Okay, yeah, So so they look to be the best football
- 1:02:52team in the NFL. Lamar Jackson. I think they were just trying to
- 1:02:54like not just make him do too much in his game. You know,
- 1:02:58they kind of separated pretty early, so they were like once the second quarter,
- 1:03:02they were already up seventeen to three, so I think they just like,
- 1:03:06no, what really happened is they had Key and Mitchell rush for some
- 1:03:07pretty big yarded so they didn't really have to throw the ball too much.
- 1:03:10He had nine for one thirty eight in a touchdown. That's pretty good.
- 1:03:14Gus Edwards five for fifty two and two touchdowns. You just had good efficiency
- 1:03:16from your running backs today. If so, you don't just take the ball
- 1:03:19out of your out of your receiver's hands for this one kind of hurt me.
- 1:03:22Say, Flowers only had one catch, so but Mark Andrews nine for
- 1:03:28eighty consistently doing what Mark Andrews does. Odell Beckham five for fifty six and
- 1:03:32a touchdown, even though his touchdown was just a garbage time touchdown, they
- 1:03:37celebrated it like like he like like no tomorrow. But but yeah, just
- 1:03:43the Ravens dominating performance. Man, there's nothing much you can say. They
- 1:03:45did a lot of stunts on them. As defense balls out like it continues
- 1:03:49to do. Bro Kwan Smith continues to be the leader of that defense.
- 1:03:52It's just it's just a matter of them holding onto this embarking. Yeah,
- 1:03:59the stat that I want to point out is Lamar Jackson. He is eighteen
- 1:04:03and eighteen and one against the NFC in his entire career. That is a
- 1:04:09crazy stat. That's a crazy stat right there. So basically, if he's
- 1:04:13facing the NFC, he's not gonna lose. And another stat that I want
- 1:04:16to point out is ever since Lamar he tweeted this tweet that just that just
- 1:04:23was called Johnny, he's been four to oh almost eleven hundred total yards,
- 1:04:28six touchdowns, one hundred and ten QB passer rating, thirty three points per
- 1:04:31games. Only if you're you are going to understand that. But if y'all
- 1:04:34look at Twitter, if y'all follow us on Twitter, you'll understand what I'm
- 1:04:39talking about right there, just so just shout out to that. But the
- 1:04:44Ravens they don't win in let me let me try to say this, right,
- 1:04:49so, this was an impressive win, but the Ravens they don't win
- 1:04:54in the style points way. They don't win the prettiest way. They win
- 1:04:59the ugly dominant way. And it's not gonna look it's not gonna look great.
- 1:05:04And everything. Like just watching the game, it's gonna look real nasty,
- 1:05:08but they're gonna dominate you from the start to the finish. Whatever they
- 1:05:12need to do, they will do. If they need to get in shootouts,
- 1:05:15they'll get in a shootout. If they need to play great defense,
- 1:05:17they will. If they need to run the football, keep the ball away
- 1:05:20from another great quarterback, they will. This is the most complete team in
- 1:05:25the NFL in my opinion, because I know that they could have used another
- 1:05:30running back, but maybe Keante Mitchell. That's maybe a stud that you found
- 1:05:32in the making right there. Gus Edwards powerback. You have some wide receivers
- 1:05:38or weapons. You have Mark andrews Odell Beckham, Rashad Bateman's A Flowers defense
- 1:05:44is there. You have a good, great coach in John Harball, so
- 1:05:47there's not really any weaknesses. And as far as from the Seahawks side,
- 1:05:51Gino Smith, let's be honest here, he's made some bad decisions and he's
- 1:06:00regressed from last year. He has he does not look like the same quarterback
- 1:06:03he was last year. Last year he looked real composed and cool, but
- 1:06:09it looks like now he's forcing the ball down the field and he's just trying
- 1:06:12to do too much in stead instead of letting the game come to him.
- 1:06:16And especially when you're in Baltimore, you can't be making mistakes early because it's
- 1:06:21gonna end up costing you. Because it was zero zero at the end of
- 1:06:25the first first quarter, so it seemed like, okay, well cool,
- 1:06:29this is gonna be a close ballgame right here. The next thing, you
- 1:06:30know, fourteen to zero just out of him. Right after that, just
- 1:06:34out of hand. And again you let Baltimore get a lead. They're the
- 1:06:40best team as far as just keeping the lead and taking it away or keeping
- 1:06:44it away from you and playing great defense. But all right, I know
- 1:06:48you're you're ready to talk about this next game right here. You already flipped
- 1:06:54the page. Yeah, yeah, are you ready for it? It's because
- 1:06:57because how we set up the games, like how we talk the ESPN on
- 1:07:02my computer sets up the games, so I take my notes through that way,
- 1:07:06and then when I do it on my phone while I'm watching the game
- 1:07:09on my computer, so I would do the things, so all of them
- 1:07:11just mixed up, so like I have to go back and forth when we're
- 1:07:15talking about the games. Ah damn. Well yeah, well, we could
- 1:07:18get that fixed in a side there we are, but all right, uh
- 1:07:23yeah. It was the first Germany game Germany game or Frankfurt game in Frankfurt
- 1:07:28actually, in which the Chiefs they beat the Miami Dolphins twenty one to fourteen,
- 1:07:33in which the Dolphins try to make a late comeback. Josh, I
- 1:07:36know you're gonna have a lot to say, so go ahead. What did
- 1:07:40you see from this game? Right here? I'm called the best goddamn defense
- 1:07:44in the whole NFL play. Let me tell you that's what I saw.
- 1:07:46They once again held another team to blow twenty one points. The only team
- 1:07:51in the NFL do that every single game this year, that's the Kansas City
- 1:07:56Chiefs. We are a defensive team this year. That's what we are.
- 1:07:59We got to that. It's our identity. Defense wins championships, and this
- 1:08:02defense is playing like a championship defense this year. So far. They held
- 1:08:06the number one scoring offense to basically ten points. That fourteen came Chris Jones.
- 1:08:12Domb penalty, bro, stupid penalty, keep your head, keep your
- 1:08:15head like cool and collected, bro Like he pushed one of the Dolphins linemen
- 1:08:21maybe like thirty seconds after the play like he pushed them. And then and
- 1:08:26then they threw a flag. What's what was it? Like? Unnecessary roughness
- 1:08:30and then they get a first down, immediately run the ball, score touchdown.
- 1:08:33You held the Dolphins to a field goal on that drive after the Chiefs
- 1:08:36fumble the football like you, you held them, like you helped you once
- 1:08:41again held them. It should be a twenty one attempt score right now compared
- 1:08:45to twenty one to fourteen and the next game look a lot different, but
- 1:08:48once again this defense balls out. Drew chank Will continues to fill in as
- 1:08:53a good as a good play caller, as a good setting up this defense
- 1:08:57before the play, pointing out the plays. He did amazing play in this
- 1:09:01one game where they did a fake and they shoveled it to the running back
- 1:09:05which was a Stevon Ahmed, and he immediately gets off his gets off his
- 1:09:10blocker stopped it. If he doesn't stop that play, I think that's six
- 1:09:13to the house right there. Yeah. I think he continues to fill in
- 1:09:16there four and one with him, they have the opposing team has a thirty
- 1:09:19six percent third down conversion rate. In these five games, he has twenty
- 1:09:24eight solo tackles, forty two forty two completed tackles, one and a half
- 1:09:29sacks, three k hits, and a one sacker for loss. That is
- 1:09:30one of the best signings of free agency that any team has had this year.
- 1:09:34And he's bawling like it is once we get Nick Bolton back, oh
- 1:09:38my gosh, like this defense is going to go to a whole other level.
- 1:09:41So but as for our offense, we continue to struggle with these receivers.
- 1:09:45I think it's kind of it's kind of hard easy to see. Danner
- 1:09:49Lofski pointed out many times, like where he zoomed out in the thing.
- 1:09:53He was like, look, there's no one getting open. Mahomes has to
- 1:09:56hold the ball longer than he usually does. That's why he runs the ball
- 1:09:58more this year. He start a stat too where this is his most average
- 1:10:01rushing yards per game in his career. And so yeah, so they looked
- 1:10:08pretty hard, pretty hard, They looked pretty hot coming out. They really
- 1:10:12like showed up. They freaking seven perfect plays in a row for a touchdown
- 1:10:15and it was pretty good. They once again, I harped on it last
- 1:10:19week. If you get to check o the football, you win football games.
- 1:10:21Most like Brian Robinson. If you win in the trenches, you win
- 1:10:25the football game. He had sixteen for sixty six. Rashie Rice looked good
- 1:10:28in the first half. I don't know why they didn't give him the ball
- 1:10:30in the second half. They like to put mbs in sky Moore in deep
- 1:10:33yard of situations when Rashid Rice coming out of college was known for being the
- 1:10:39deep one on one player when it comes to high point in the football,
- 1:10:43can we please get him some deep action? Nd reechs like that would be
- 1:10:45amazing to see with Rashie Rice because he's our best receiver if you really watch
- 1:10:49the games. Yeah. So they they held They held Kelsey in check three
- 1:10:54for fourteen. They triple team them, quadruple team them, double team them.
- 1:10:58Anything they did, they teamed them. So it was a good win
- 1:11:01for the teams, dominating win I think for the defense. And as for
- 1:11:05the Dolphins, are they frauds? No? I mean like they cannot beat
- 1:11:10a team above They could not beat a team above five hundred. They beat
- 1:11:13up on We talked about this. I told like, I think I was
- 1:11:15one of the first people say it. They beat up on all the bad
- 1:11:17teams. They destroy them. People were harping on them versus the Broncos.
- 1:11:21They killed. I get the Broncos beat us, but that's the vision game.
- 1:11:25Your division depondents are gonna play you the hardest. But they beat that
- 1:11:28up on and after that game, they crowned them already. No, like,
- 1:11:30your defense has to show up and your offense has to play good against
- 1:11:33good defenses, and they haven't done that yet. Yeah, I'm gonna go
- 1:11:39ahead and start with the Dolphins. Yeah, they're ower and three against teams
- 1:11:42that are five hundred or better, and they just they're gonna be the team
- 1:11:46the rest of the year that until you beat a team that's actually a good
- 1:11:49team or a team that's gonna make the playoffs, they're not gonna be looked
- 1:11:54at as a real threat. Because, let's be honest, even though they
- 1:11:58were making somewhat of this comeback here, the Chiefs that were gonna win no
- 1:12:01matter what, the Chiefs are gonna win, even with this comeback that was
- 1:12:05happening, which was kind of a fake comeback. I guess you could say
- 1:12:09a little bit of stat patten right here. But Tyre Tyreek Hill, he
- 1:12:15got put in check, Jaylen Wattle got put in check. I know Raheem
- 1:12:17Mostert he had he had eighty five yards rushing on twelve carries, which was
- 1:12:25good. But this Chiefs defense is just proving, proving time in and time
- 1:12:30again that they are a force to be reckon with. And somebody who is
- 1:12:34on the come up. I know you've been early on this. Trent McDuffie.
- 1:12:39He is now I'm I'm officially saying that he is officially a superstar cornerback.
- 1:12:45He is locking down players left and right and not the bestack. Yeah.
- 1:12:48And not only is he doing that, he's he's a great tackling cornerback
- 1:12:54right at at minimum he is if you wanna, if you want to underrate
- 1:12:59him, he is a top ten cornerback. But I think he's already in
- 1:13:01the top five conversation along with Pat Certain, Trevon Diggs, Sauce Gardner,
- 1:13:09whoever else. I'm not trying to argue as far as certain cornerbacks like you're
- 1:13:13saying, Drew Trenquell, that's a very great signing, like you said,
- 1:13:19Nick Bolton and Willie Gate. That's a great linebacking court right there. That's
- 1:13:24a young linebacking coret right there, forced to be reckoned with There's nothing really
- 1:13:29I could say as far as with this defense. This defense they've been them
- 1:13:34so the Ravens, Okay, here's how I could put it. The Ravens
- 1:13:36have the best defense, but the Chiefs they've had the most impressive start defensively,
- 1:13:42if that makes sense. As far as you're surprised as far as what
- 1:13:46you're seeing from this Chief set, yeah, you're not used to it.
- 1:13:49And it's a defensive identity. And I know this offense isn't clicking. But
- 1:13:57give Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid a little bit more time. I say,
- 1:14:01give him about two or three more weeks to see if they could try to
- 1:14:04fix this offense just one last time, because by the time he gets a
- 1:14:09Thanksgiving you kind of know what kind of team you are. There's not going
- 1:14:13to be really that much of a switch. You know what team you are.
- 1:14:15And if Pat Mahomes and Nanny Reid they're gonna have to play smart,
- 1:14:19conservative football, run the ball with Isaiah Pacheco, then they're going to have
- 1:14:24to do what they have to do. And Rashid Rice he needs to get
- 1:14:28more burned. He is that second best receiver right there, and I think
- 1:14:31he's only going to be showing more flashes. So this Chiefs team, they're
- 1:14:38continuing to be dominant, and it looks like as of right now, they're
- 1:14:42going to be hosting the Invitational Invitational, which is being at Arrowhead in the
- 1:14:46AFC Championship game. Anything else you want to take away from this game,
- 1:14:50Josh, No, I just know that once this offense figures it out,
- 1:14:57even just a little bit, because how we're texting each other. Yeah,
- 1:15:00even if they don't score touchdowns, yeah, just like if they can on
- 1:15:04the field goals, they dominate. They they're they're basically what is is besides
- 1:15:11the Broncos game, because they would have to score a couple more touchdowns to
- 1:15:14win that game. But if we're against the Lions, if we scored one
- 1:15:17field goal, one more field goal, that's a win. That's seven,
- 1:15:20that's that's that's eight one one right now. So so if you score more
- 1:15:25field goals, these games look a whole lot more different than what what what
- 1:15:30we're seeing. It's just a matter of like if we can find another weapon,
- 1:15:34which I think it is where she rice, we need to get him,
- 1:15:38like you said, some more burn because if we if you go back
- 1:15:41and watch this game. He literally got the Chiefs to the red zone just
- 1:15:45by drawing penalties. Yeah, like Jared McKinnon touchdown. He was burning Jalen
- 1:15:50Ramsey off the line like he was Jalen Ramsey and Exabon Howard. We're grabbing
- 1:15:55him like they. I think it was like three two or three holding penalties
- 1:15:59in a row. Really guy, Yeah, Pi because they they he burned
- 1:16:03them off the line. I think he's our go to guy once we start
- 1:16:05getting someone else in him involved. And even Kadarius Tony, Kadarius Tony as
- 1:16:11a receiver, not a gadget guy, as a receiver makes good place.
- 1:16:15If you go back and watch the Jaggs game last year, even that when
- 1:16:17he was on the I know, I don't want to bring it up,
- 1:16:18but when he went off against the Cowboys, he was a receiver. He
- 1:16:21played the receiver role like and then, and then, and then even yesterday
- 1:16:27when he and versus the Lions, as a receiver he was getting open.
- 1:16:30I guess he dropped the ball, but as a receiver, he was getting
- 1:16:33open. Like. There's a reason why there was high praise of him coming
- 1:16:35into the season. If we can get somewhat more involved, I think this
- 1:16:40team look is a lot scarier. It will become once again scary on offense
- 1:16:45for every team in the NFL. Mm hmm, Well, since you started
- 1:16:49trashing my Cowboys again, you know what, I think the Chiefs overrady,
- 1:16:53you know what, They just suck? Yeah, just kidding, But alright,
- 1:17:00we're gonna go ahead and move on to this last game, which was
- 1:17:02a first game, the Thursday night football game in which Kenny Pickett had a
- 1:17:08late had a late touchdown though was about four minute slepts in the game where
- 1:17:13he had the game when it touchdown to Deontay Johnson, in which they won
- 1:17:15twenty to sixteen. Will Levis's first start. What did you take away from
- 1:17:20this game right here? Josh, hold on, don't you take I want
- 1:17:26to find it, to find this crazy stat real quick. Oh, I
- 1:17:29already know what one you're talking about. So what I took away from this
- 1:17:32game right here is that Will Levis I know that they didn't win this game
- 1:17:38right here, and he had that pick late, but you're kind of trying
- 1:17:41to force stuff down the field. He looks like he could be a good
- 1:17:46quarterback for the Tennessee Titans, and he opened up the offense. He opened
- 1:17:51up the offense against the Pittsburgh Stillers. Hell yeah, and he and he
- 1:17:56has an arm. He's able to throw the ball down the field. And
- 1:17:59that's exact factly what you need in this offense because you have Derrick Henry Taj
- 1:18:02Spears who try to run, play action, take deep shots. So it's
- 1:18:08an efficient offense and I feel like you could win ball games. And even
- 1:18:12though they're three and five right now, they could still kind of go on
- 1:18:15a stretch. You have the Buccaneers next and the Jaguars, who they always
- 1:18:18play tough. It's a divisional game, Like you said, they always play
- 1:18:21teams tough. Then you have the Panthers, the Colts, then the Dolphins.
- 1:18:26So necessarily, not necessarily, this Titan team, this Titans team is
- 1:18:30done. They're three and five. But as far as from the Steelers side,
- 1:18:34even though the Steelers won, I know Kenny Pickett, he's second in
- 1:18:40the league since last year as far as having the most game winning drives with
- 1:18:43eight, But I just don't think Kenny Pickett he's that guy. You have
- 1:18:48all the other talent around him, you have the defense, but he should
- 1:18:53be doing this at the bare minimum, begetting the game winning drives at bare
- 1:18:57minimum. You have all this talent around you, and he's a mediocre quarterback
- 1:19:00at best. And I think, honestly, if the Vikings they do happen,
- 1:19:09which I don't think is likely, that they move on from Kirk Cousins,
- 1:19:13I feel like they should be in the Kirk Cousins sweepstakes, so Kyler
- 1:19:15Murray sweepstakes, because that would put them over the top, because that's the
- 1:19:19only thing they're missing is a quarterback. And another thing, last thing that
- 1:19:24I want to take away from this is I said this last week. If
- 1:19:28you get Jalen Warren the ball, you start running the ball more with him,
- 1:19:32you're gonna be able to win these ball games. And what did he
- 1:19:35have? Eleven carries eighty eight yards compared to Nagi's sixteen carries sixty nine yards.
- 1:19:41So he's just a better back. It's Tony Pollard Ezekiel Elliott. I
- 1:19:45think he is more physical than Tony Pollard and he could actually be a full
- 1:19:50bell cow back. But yeah, they're able to run the ball now with
- 1:19:56Jalen Warren being there. Josh, what did you take away from this?
- 1:20:00I know I already know the stat you're about to bring up, so go
- 1:20:01ahead and say it. Okay, I'm gonna start with this first and foremost
- 1:20:09prayers up for Trylon Bergs bro Bros. A hell of a talent, but
- 1:20:12just cannot stay healthy. Dude, like he finds it like he's really good,
- 1:20:16like when it comes to the catch point. Both his both his and
- 1:20:19both his concussions last year and this year were from like was it last year
- 1:20:26he got a concussion over did he hurt his leg? It was one of
- 1:20:29those air concussions where he literally caught a touchdown of felt backwards and caught a
- 1:20:32touchdown. And then this year he caught the high point ball basically caught it
- 1:20:38like this or no one can see me, but he caught he caught it
- 1:20:41around the defender, fell back and hit his head. Went like it's just
- 1:20:44sad to see him. Because he's a good talent. He's a big dude,
- 1:20:46Like he's like basically a J. Brown like they were trying to replicate
- 1:20:48a J. Brown with that. Yeah, he's a good talent. He
- 1:20:51just can't seem to stay healthy. But Deyonce Johnson didn't catch a touchdown for
- 1:21:00six hundred and sixty eight days. That's twenty one games in a row.
- 1:21:03That's crazy. Uh. He is one of the best receivers. He's not
- 1:21:08one of the He's one of the best receivers in the NFL. He can
- 1:21:11get open with the best of them. He can catch, He gets a
- 1:21:14lot of yardage, He gets a lot of receptions. He just didn't score
- 1:21:15a touchdown for six hundred and sixty eight days. And we finally got siding
- 1:21:19of Deontay Johnson in the end zone. It was like seeing Bigfoot for the
- 1:21:23first time, you know, So that shout out to you, Deontay Johnson.
- 1:21:27He finally got one man. But as far as this game as a
- 1:21:30whole, George Pickens stopped crying. Dude, you should have got both feet
- 1:21:33down for that touchdown. That was on you. That was very much on
- 1:21:36you. Can you Pickett is not the guy. He just can't make big
- 1:21:41plays. What you need to take, especially in that division, Brown's Brown's
- 1:21:46fingals, Ravens, you need to make big plays to win this game,
- 1:21:49to win these games. He relies too much on his players to make the
- 1:21:53place. I guess that's what a game manager does. But you need to
- 1:21:56be able to make big plays yourself. Like we said, he's only he's
- 1:21:59really much. He's really good on the rollouts. He's really good outside the
- 1:22:01pocket when he's running. He's not very good inside the pocket. He's too
- 1:22:04small, like he doesn't the not like he wears two gloves, Like he
- 1:22:10can barely haul on the football. Like so it's like like, come on,
- 1:22:13dude, Like I don't trust the quarterback that wears two gloves. I
- 1:22:15don't. I don't trust if my quarterback wearing two gloves get him off the
- 1:22:18field. But that's that's how I feel about. Can you Pickett this?
- 1:22:24The Steelers defense continues to ball out for them. My my so first ever
- 1:22:29so called VP of the Week held DeAndre Hopkins. He Joey Porter Junior had
- 1:22:34sixty three snaps, five targets, one reception for seventeen yards, one pass
- 1:22:40deflection, and three total tackles. That's a lockdown cornerback right there against one
- 1:22:43of the best every Yeah. Yeah. As for the Titans, Will Levis
- 1:22:47is a Hello, it's not a is a I'm not gonna go close to
- 1:22:50saying like he's a great quarterback, but he's a good quarterback as far as
- 1:22:54his rookie class. I think he's above Bryce Young because we've seen we've we've
- 1:22:59seen well, he's seen in two games Will Lewis be able to make throws
- 1:23:03that Bryce Young hasn't been able to make. We've seen him stand in the
- 1:23:06pocket, We've seen him. He's a bigger quarterback, he's at lakes.
- 1:23:11But his arm talent, why it's why a lot of people were really high
- 1:23:15on him, or really we're really high on him, is that he can
- 1:23:17throw the football. And he was able. He made Key turn Kyle Phillips
- 1:23:19into the Titans number one receiver. I don't know it was them just riding
- 1:23:24the bench and just like working together a lot, but they had a connection
- 1:23:28and Kyle Phillips was burning some cornerback. He put Patrick Peterson on a swivel
- 1:23:31in a couple of plays he had, so he had four for sixty eight.
- 1:23:36He really got them involved, Derrick Henry seventeen for seventy five. I
- 1:23:40want to see them get Tad J. Spears involved a little bit more in
- 1:23:43the passing game, like he's a big play way and it happen. I
- 1:23:45feel like I just want to see that once they start doing that. And
- 1:23:47well, and Will Levis made a rookie mistake at the end. He threw
- 1:23:50it the triple coverage on that last interception. You can't do that. You
- 1:23:54gotta be a little bit more patient, get out the pocket, make something
- 1:23:57happen, throw it out of bounds. You got to do something like I
- 1:24:00think he made a big mistake with that, But other than that, he
- 1:24:02played pretty good. The Steelers escaped with a dub. It's gonna be a
- 1:24:08tough road for them this division. As we've said in every single NFC A
- 1:24:13NFC AFC North matchup, It's gonna be tough for every team in that division
- 1:24:16except for the Ravens, who pretty much look like they're on their way to
- 1:24:19make it the dominating Yeah, but yeah, I know there's nothing else to
- 1:24:25take away from this game. But all right, now that we got done
- 1:24:29with the Week nine, we're gonna do what we did. It was about
- 1:24:32like two three weeks ago. As far as our top five teams in each
- 1:24:36conference. I don't know if you want to start in the NFC or AFC,
- 1:24:45But what do you want to start with? We cann do the NFC
- 1:24:48starts all right, Well, all right, I'll go ahead and start it
- 1:24:53off right here. So number one, I have the doubt. I'm just
- 1:24:56kidding. No. Number one, Oh my gosh, that would have been
- 1:25:00funny though. No. Number one, I have the Philadelphia Eagles. They're
- 1:25:04eight and one. They beat They beat the Cowboys twenty eight to twenty three.
- 1:25:10Again, like I was saying earlier, they're just a resilient team.
- 1:25:14They just find a way to win any game, whether that's throwing the ball,
- 1:25:16running the ball, or they haven't gotten into a defensive battle yet,
- 1:25:20but I feel like their defense will show up one of these games. Then
- 1:25:25Number two, I have the Dallas Cowboys Number two. Personally, in my
- 1:25:30heart of fire, I feel like I feel like the Cowboys, especially after
- 1:25:36that game, they redeem themselves after that terrible loss against San Francisco. I
- 1:25:44feel like that was more of an outlier game than normal. And call it
- 1:25:48what you want, Philadelphia, they're one of the best teams in the league.
- 1:25:51They may not be the best team in the entire league. You can
- 1:25:54say Ravens, Chiefs, whatever, but at minimum top three and the Cowboys
- 1:25:58they played them the last play. And if it wasn't for a few inches
- 1:26:03as far as a catch being caught behind the goal line or Dak stepping out
- 1:26:09of bounce. We could have been talking about them the other way and potentially
- 1:26:12being on their way to hosting an NFC championship game. Number three, I
- 1:26:16have the San Francisco forty nine Ers who are five and three, the same
- 1:26:20record as the Cowboys. Yes, yes, I know they did, Yes
- 1:26:25I know they did beat the Dallas Cowboys. But as far as the momentum,
- 1:26:30this isn't as far as the standings. If you want to look at
- 1:26:33the standings, go get your local newspaper and you're gonna see your standings.
- 1:26:38This isn't the standings here. So as far as the momentum that the San
- 1:26:42Francisco forty nine ers have had lately, it's been going down Brock Purdy.
- 1:26:45He hasn't looked like the same quarterback as normal. The run game hasn't been
- 1:26:48as effective, the defense hasn't been as dominant as they were the first five
- 1:26:54games. Number four, I have the Detroit Lions. They are six and
- 1:26:58two, and again, like I said, the last time we ranked this
- 1:27:02ranked this team, I think it's more necessarily they're a younger team and they
- 1:27:08haven't and they haven't proved it yet in the playoffs. They're gonna be playing
- 1:27:12these teams soon. They're gonna be playing the Cowboys soon, They're gonna be
- 1:27:15playing I think, uh, the Niners soon. So we already saw how
- 1:27:20they did against Seattle, already their their last test. That was pretty tough
- 1:27:24lately in the NFC, so we'll see what happens. I think this is
- 1:27:30more me being conservative right here. So yeah, I just think the Lions
- 1:27:35at four, that's more of a conservative pick right there, but I could
- 1:27:40see them being as high even as number two, so I won't really disagree
- 1:27:44with them right there. And number five, I have Seattle. Seattle,
- 1:27:49they got their ass whooped against the Ravens. They did. The score,
- 1:27:54it was a lot too little, that's what it was. But I'll tell
- 1:27:58you what, they're close to falling off that number five. The only reason
- 1:28:00I have them there is because I'm not willing to put an NFC South team
- 1:28:04there. That just sounds very disgusting. I'm not willing to do that.
- 1:28:10So yeah, that's the only reason I have them number five. And Josh,
- 1:28:14all right, who's your top five in the NFC? Number one,
- 1:28:19I have the Philadelphia Eagles. It's a given thee there eight and one.
- 1:28:23They deserve to be the number one team in the NFC. They won.
- 1:28:27The only loss they came was that that they have is to the New York
- 1:28:30Jets, and the New York Jets have a hell of a defense. Like
- 1:28:33their defense really bald out that day. They showed up in full force.
- 1:28:38But as for the Eagles, they just find a way to win. Like
- 1:28:40you said, every game, most games that they play. They can do
- 1:28:43it on the ground. They can dictate the run, they can throw it
- 1:28:45over your head to aj Brown. They have a good defensive line, big
- 1:28:48play slays back, James Bradberry is back, and they they're playing really good.
- 1:28:53Yeah, Ceedee Lambs went off against them, but I had if you
- 1:28:57watched the last couple of games, they be pretty good against them. The
- 1:29:00receivers like they they're there, they're back, they're getting healthier. So Jalen
- 1:29:04Carter's bawling out and you have really high praise. I think this even with
- 1:29:09Jalen Hurts injured. They're playing really good football. So that's why they're the
- 1:29:12number one team for me in the NFC. Number two the Detroit Lions.
- 1:29:16The Detroit Lions of the number two team for me and the whole NFC.
- 1:29:19They have a Monroe Saint Brown. Jamiir Gibbs is going. Jamiir Gibbs is
- 1:29:23cooking. Jamiir Gibs is showing why he was a number twelve overall pick in
- 1:29:26the NFL draft. Jared Goff is working his way back into the MB conversation.
- 1:29:30For me, he's he's been Like you say, they don't have the
- 1:29:33experience, but he's been there. He's been to the biggest stage of football
- 1:29:36on like some of the other than the Eagles, no other team could say
- 1:29:41that he's been to the biggest stage of football. He's been there. Dan
- 1:29:45Campbell will get the best out of his team. His team will play for
- 1:29:47him. They will. They will die on this. They will die for
- 1:29:49him. If you really watch, he will bite their kneecaps off. Yeah,
- 1:29:53he'll bit caps. So so that's why the Detroit Lions, their defense
- 1:29:58is playing good. They're coming back in after the being they took from the
- 1:30:00Baltimore Ravens. They really came came back against the Raiders and they played really
- 1:30:03good football against the Raiders. I get they were going through tough times,
- 1:30:05but they still dominated with Jumior Gibbs. Like Jamior Gibbs played pretty good.
- 1:30:10That defense played really good. Number three. I have the San Francisco forty
- 1:30:15nine ers at number three. I understand they still have the win against the
- 1:30:18Dallas Cowboys, and that's what separates from me. They dominate. They dominated
- 1:30:21the Dallas Cowboys in that game, and they just got Chase Young. They
- 1:30:25brought in reinforcements. The pass rest that they don't have, they tried,
- 1:30:28they brought in reinforcements with Chase Young. Chase Young is a really good player
- 1:30:30who's back with his old running Nick Bosa Ohio State. I think they'll figure
- 1:30:34it out. The thing is it falls on the shoulders of Rock Party.
- 1:30:40Can he get these guys the weapons. They're getting healthier. Trent Williams has
- 1:30:43been banged up, Deebo Samuel's coming back. So that's what I That's what
- 1:30:47I have for this team. They're gonna They're gonna figure it out. Number
- 1:30:50four Dallas Cowboys. I have the Dallas Cowboys at number four. I think
- 1:30:55the Arizona Cardinals loss hurts them a lot. It really does when it comes
- 1:30:58to the seedings to all this, but they had they blow out teams.
- 1:31:02They blow out teams by a lot. They have they've had tough match.
- 1:31:08They have the tough matchup versus forty nine ers. That's what separates it between
- 1:31:11the two of them. For me, I get the forty nine ers their
- 1:31:14losses, but they did lose to a really good Vikings team with Kirk Cousins
- 1:31:16still there. And they lost to uh to the Cleveland Browns, who we
- 1:31:20argue as a top five, top three defense in the hole NFL. So,
- 1:31:25but for the Cowboys, they played amazing in this last game. They
- 1:31:28played good. They couldn't really have done much more besides finishing the red zone.
- 1:31:30Once they do that, once they get Tony Pollard going in the correct
- 1:31:33ways, then they will move up in my rankings. But until then,
- 1:31:35I want to see Tony Pollard get more involved. I want to see him
- 1:31:39become the efficient runner that he is. They're getting the ball of CD lamb.
- 1:31:41They're doing half the job I wanted them to do. Now, let's
- 1:31:43get the ball to Tony Pollard in efficient ways. So and as for number
- 1:31:46five, I had tough time figuring out number five for me, Yeah,
- 1:31:50I know, because I was. I was between the Seattle Seahawks, the
- 1:31:55Minnesota Vikings, and the New Orleans Saints. Those are my three teams that
- 1:31:59I had fighting, but I must stick with the Seattle Seahawks. I get
- 1:32:02they had the tough game versus the Baltimore Ravens. The Balmore Ravens are a
- 1:32:05good football team. They just had a better game plan, better game script
- 1:32:09they had. They just went in there with more urgency versus Seattle Seahawks.
- 1:32:12You can watch it from start to finish. I think the Seahawks still have
- 1:32:16They still have Kans Walker, they still have Zach Charbonnay Jack Sharbonne is a
- 1:32:19good physical runner. They still have Tyre Locket, DK Metcalf and jsn is
- 1:32:24coming into his own in the last couple of weeks. I think they still
- 1:32:27have that. Their defense is still a good defense. They still added Leonard
- 1:32:29Williams. I get they got ran on, but that's not gonna happen every
- 1:32:32week, Devin Witherspoon. That's what put them at number five for me.
- 1:32:36I think they have the most potential of the three teams that I named,
- 1:32:40so that's why they are number five for me. The Vikings and Saints are
- 1:32:43really close, though I think they're not too far away. M Yeah,
- 1:32:45no, I could agree. Okay, So that's my NFC even though we
- 1:32:49disagreed on quite a bit on the rankings on that on same teams. But
- 1:32:53yeah, different rankings, different rankings, guys. If y'all want to look
- 1:32:56at Josh's rankings, you guys could just get a newspaper to look at your
- 1:33:00local USA today. It will be the name right there for the for the
- 1:33:04NFC. That's exactly. No, I'm I'm just saying as far as for
- 1:33:12cow Cowboys, Cowboys fan or not. I'm talking about as far as so
- 1:33:16when I do my rankings, it's a little bit as far as projecting.
- 1:33:21And you could say, all right, well, why aren't the Lions up
- 1:33:24there? But the Lions they're going to have they're tougher games to come yet.
- 1:33:29Yes, I know they played the Chiefs. Yes I know they played
- 1:33:32I don't know which right now. Right now, these are these are the
- 1:33:35next couple of games. Chargers Bears, Packers, Saints, Bears, Broncos.
- 1:33:42They have a pretty pretty cakewalk schedule. The next six games. They
- 1:33:45could easily go third for I can't even do math right now. They could
- 1:33:51easily go twelve and two easily. They could go twelve and two for these
- 1:33:55next couple of games. They could yes, I agree with you on that,
- 1:34:00but don't overlook those last three games in which the Vikings, Cowboys and
- 1:34:04Vikings again, which that could be a big game changer right there. And
- 1:34:10there's going to eventually be a letdown game. It's just human nature. Letdown
- 1:34:15games. They happen whether we like it or not. But the reason why
- 1:34:19I'm saying this is because the Cowboys being number two is because Dak Prescott,
- 1:34:26like I was saying, he is playing at a top five quarterback level.
- 1:34:29I'm not trying to argue Jalen Hurts or Dak Prescott. Either way you could
- 1:34:32have Dak Prescott five. I'm confident in Dak Prescott being or playing great quarterback
- 1:34:40play against the Seattle Seahawks Detroit Lions, and I feel like he'd be I'm
- 1:34:44not saying he would do what he did against Philly, but he would play
- 1:34:47better than what he did last time against San Francisco. And that's the biggest
- 1:34:51edge right there. Is because the quarterback play, and you know, the
- 1:34:55quarterback play, it could make the biggest difference in the biggest moments I think.
- 1:35:00I think with the Lions compared to the Cowboys, the Lions are getting
- 1:35:04the most out of their weapons on offense. I think that that's where they
- 1:35:08said the Cowboys defense is better than the Lions defense. Let's I'm not gonna
- 1:35:12get that twisted. But is the Cowboys offense better than the Lions offense?
- 1:35:16That's what That's what I'm trying. That's that's what I'm trying to argue because
- 1:35:19the Lions are I'm not going to say A Monroe is better than Steede Lamb.
- 1:35:24That's the argument for another day. But is consistently Yeah, he's the
- 1:35:28most he said. When it comes to consistency, there's probably a few more
- 1:35:33consistent wide receivers in the NFL. He gets open every play. They just
- 1:35:38added Donovan People's jones. It looks like it doesn't it's not a big name,
- 1:35:41it doesn't look but it's debt, a debt to this receiving room.
- 1:35:45Yeah that Yeah, he's a good player, good on special teams. That
- 1:35:47adds another that adds another element to their team. That that I think they
- 1:35:51realize. They looked at Jamison Williams and they were like, he's not I
- 1:35:55don't know, I don't know. Yeah, they have now that helps with
- 1:35:58Josher and it takes way off his shoulder. Josh As balling this year.
- 1:36:00He's a good he's a good number two. But Donovan Peoples Jones has another
- 1:36:03element to that with Khalif Raymond. So I think that's a good ride receiving
- 1:36:06core right there. You could argue it's better than the Cowboys. You could
- 1:36:10argue I'm not saying it's not. It is. But as far as the
- 1:36:13running backs, you can't tell me they're running backs to the Cowboys running.
- 1:36:17Yeah, the Lions. David Montgomery wentn't healthy, is a bell cow.
- 1:36:20He can run between the tackles. He's that David. He's the upgrade from
- 1:36:25Jamal Williams they were looking for and DeAndre and then Jamier Gibbs is the upgrade
- 1:36:29they were looking from DeAndre ship. They just took a little bit for him
- 1:36:31to get his get his legs underneath. He's an explosive runner. And just
- 1:36:36like you trust Dak Prescott. I'm not saying I trust Jared Goff more,
- 1:36:40but I trust Jared Goff too to compete in the big games. That's why
- 1:36:44I have the Lions above the Niners and the Cowboys only because the Niners and
- 1:36:46Cowboys losses. I'm not saying the Niners and Cowboys are like this, it's
- 1:36:49like super close, Like it's super close for me. It's just it's just
- 1:36:54the loss is what separates them, and it's for the Lions though. I
- 1:36:56think the Lions are just being the more consistent team compared to the two others.
- 1:37:00Yeah, no, I get that. It's it's real close. I
- 1:37:03feel like it's the Eagles number one, and then it could be just a
- 1:37:08whole different pecking order from two to five. It's just depends on how we
- 1:37:12could look at someone else. We can bring someone else. They might have
- 1:37:15the Niners number two, you know. So it's just really like how they
- 1:37:18look at it. Yeah, well, all right, we're gonna go ahead
- 1:37:21and get into the AFC. Josh, you could go ahead and start off
- 1:37:25with this one since I started off with the NFC. So who do you
- 1:37:28have as your top five teams? The best team in the AFC the Kansas
- 1:37:32City Chiefs. I it may sound biased, I may be biased. I
- 1:37:35don't care. So there's still seven to two. They're still sitting on top
- 1:37:41of the AFC. Patrick Mahomes will figure it out. I understand people.
- 1:37:46He's turning the ball over a lot a lot of it's not on him.
- 1:37:48The fumble was on him. He had to open receivers. It just comes
- 1:37:51down to trusting his receivers. I get that. But they'll figure it out.
- 1:37:56Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes will not go into the playoffs not clicking on
- 1:38:00all cylinders. I think they will eventually figure this out. They will eventually
- 1:38:03establish a receiver. They will eventually establish the running game. They have the
- 1:38:06best interior alignment in the NFL. When it comes to Joe Toney, Trace
- 1:38:11Smith and Creed Humphrey, there's no better duo, maybe besides maybe on the
- 1:38:14Eagles, besides maybe on the Lions. Who has the better interior? They
- 1:38:16do. Jawan Taylor and Donovan Smith have come into really good They allow.
- 1:38:19They have allowed the least amount of sacks in the whole NFL. This offensive
- 1:38:23line is balling. They have Pacheco, who's looking like the greatest seventh round
- 1:38:27pick of all time. Like he is bawling. I don't know, you
- 1:38:30can go find another seventh round picks. But he's up there. You can't
- 1:38:32tell me he's not up there. He's been pretty productive this defense. We
- 1:38:35harped on it earlier. I don't need to explain more on this defense.
- 1:38:39But once they figure this out, this is the best team in the AFC.
- 1:38:42They have the best quarterback, they have the best coach, and they
- 1:38:44have the best tight end. That's enough for me. They have the best
- 1:38:46whole line. That's enough. Of the best on offense. Until they figure
- 1:38:49out this receiving group, then this is where this is where it changes.
- 1:38:55Number two. The team that I look that I think looks like the best
- 1:38:58team in the NFL. The ball to more Ravens. The Baltimore Ravens defense
- 1:39:01bawling, offense bawling. They're gonna continue doing this. They're consistent, They're
- 1:39:05always in the playoffs. There's always they're always in the hunt. It's just
- 1:39:09a matter of them getting over the hump. And I think the Baltimore Ravens
- 1:39:12this year is the closest to be de throning the Chiefs. This year it
- 1:39:15was the Bengals. I think now it's the Ravens. The Ravens are finally
- 1:39:17they have a group of weapons that they can use around Lamar Jackson. The
- 1:39:21defense is finally coming into real top two status with that quisition a roe Qunstimuth
- 1:39:26last year. It's just a matter of them staying healthy in all reality.
- 1:39:30Number three was this is where it gets tough for me. But I still
- 1:39:34have the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jacksonville Jaguars are six and two, they are
- 1:39:39still balling. I think this offense will figure it out. They have to.
- 1:39:44Doug ep is one of the best offensive mines in the NFL. When
- 1:39:47it comes to coaching, he is a Andy Reid, a student. Now
- 1:39:53he's his own master. So that's that's where I have with Doug Peterson.
- 1:39:58This offense will figure out once. I've been one of the the biggest believers
- 1:40:00in their defense with Josh Allen at the helm, Treyvon Walker kind of figuring
- 1:40:03it out a little bit, Andre Cisco. The list goes on and on.
- 1:40:05We can keep naming them, but the Jagguars have a really good defense.
- 1:40:10Once their offense figures out, much like the Chiefs, they're gonna be
- 1:40:13very scary. This is where it gets tough. At four. I hate
- 1:40:17to put them there, but I still have the Miami Dolphins. They're still
- 1:40:20six and three, They're still on top of their They're still on top of
- 1:40:24their division, and it doesn't look like with the Jets lost it looks like
- 1:40:28with the Jets lost today there, it's gonna be hard for them to keep
- 1:40:31it going with the Bills. With the with the Bills, it's gonna look
- 1:40:35it's looking rough for them too, So like it's just really a matter of
- 1:40:40who's with them. I had more homes for this division, but the Dolphins
- 1:40:44are ahead of their division right now. I think they they won't lose too
- 1:40:47many games, but it's just a matter of them figuring out against the good
- 1:40:50teams. I don't know if they will. But that's why I still have
- 1:40:54them number four, because they're still sitting on top of that division with the
- 1:40:57number one seed on that their number of five. Oh my gosh, this
- 1:41:00was like tough for me. I get the Bengals are balling right now,
- 1:41:03but for me, I put the whole ac North. That's number five for
- 1:41:06me because they're all it's a three way tie right now, five and three,
- 1:41:11five and three, five and three, So it's a matter of who's
- 1:41:14gonna mess up first. I believe the Browns have losses from the Stillers and
- 1:41:16the Bengals. Correct, Am I wrong? Or no? Both losses from
- 1:41:19the Stillers or from the Bengals, and both losses from the Stillers and Ravens.
- 1:41:27Ravens, Yeah, raven So they have losses. That's gonna hurt.
- 1:41:30I believe the Bengals have a loss of division. I believe the Steelers have
- 1:41:31a loss of division so far. Oh No, the Stillers have no losses
- 1:41:34in the division? Do they? I don't think they do. I don't
- 1:41:38know. Let me check. Uh that's where I'm looking. So right now,
- 1:41:44the like how we talked about earlier, the Bengals upcoming schedule. Yeah,
- 1:41:47no, Steelers are too and zer in the division. Yeah, so
- 1:41:50that's they have the edge right now. They have the edge on all those
- 1:41:53teams right now. The still the Bengals upcoming schedule, Ravens, Stellers,
- 1:41:57Jags, Mike Like, it's a tough schedule kind of coming up. They
- 1:42:00have the Texans who are coming off one of the biggest ones in the history
- 1:42:02of the Houston Texans. They're coming off like they're they're so it's like they
- 1:42:08have a tough schedule coming up. It's just a matter of which team can
- 1:42:11separate from the other. For me, I get the Bengals are on a
- 1:42:14roll. They're still gonna play tough teams. It's just a matter of keeping
- 1:42:16it going. And I want to see that consistency because they were they were
- 1:42:19falsing at the beginning of the year. Uh if seeing if they can stay
- 1:42:23healthy. So it's a it's a three way time for me for that fifth
- 1:42:27spot, and it's all the AFC North. So that's that's that's my top
- 1:42:30five right now in the AFC. Yeah. No, But but before I
- 1:42:33go ahead and start, I looked up the best seven thrownd picks in history.
- 1:42:38I know Isaio Pacheco is good, but I don't know if he's Shannon
- 1:42:41Sharp and Bo Jackson good. So yeah, yeah, that's I think that's
- 1:42:45better. I'm taking him over Jackson and we can argue about it. We
- 1:42:48can argue. We can argue about it one day because I think he is
- 1:42:50one of the most overrated running backs in the goodness, oh my goodness,
- 1:42:56did he ever crack a thousand? Did he ever crack a thousands? Crack?
- 1:43:00Yeah? Yeah, I don't want to hear I I like, I
- 1:43:03love Bo Jackson, the story, I love Bo Jackson, the athlete that
- 1:43:08love Bo Jackson. That's one of them. No, but Shannon Shannon Shark,
- 1:43:12Shannon Sharp is a league of his own league, of his own so
- 1:43:15okay you would have or okay right now in current in current Dame Bo Jackson,
- 1:43:23Isaiah Pacheco, who are you taking? Who has the ring on his
- 1:43:28finger? Who has the ring on his finger? A good answer, that's
- 1:43:31a good answer right there. But all right, but but I'm looking I'm
- 1:43:35looking at it right now. I like Donald Driver, I like Jolan Edelman,
- 1:43:43Yeah, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Marcus Colston. But I'm not saying like it's
- 1:43:46seventh rounder. We're looking at what ten dudes, bro Like, yeah,
- 1:43:50no, Bro, Isaiah Isaiah Pacheco was one of the greatest steven round picks
- 1:43:57of all time. And some of these guys are in black and gray,
- 1:43:59bro, Like, come on, I bet you he bowled those as Bobby
- 1:44:02Mitchell and Joe Smith. Come on, dude. But all right, I'm
- 1:44:08gonna go ahead and get into my AMC teams right here. Number one,
- 1:44:12I have the Baltimore Ravens. They're seven and two. They just buzz all
- 1:44:15the Seahawks. I'm gonna kind of put these two teams together, so Ravens,
- 1:44:20I have one, Chiefs, I have two. They beat Miami twenty
- 1:44:24one fourteen. It's really whoever you want in your opinion, it's whoever you
- 1:44:29like more. I'm just favoring the Baltimore offense right now because I feel like
- 1:44:33this defense is or the defenses. They're both at a standstill, so they're
- 1:44:39both they both could match each other. But which offense do I trust more
- 1:44:42right now? I'd have to say the Baltimore Ravens because they have shown signs
- 1:44:46or they've exploded, and their run game is just their run game is just
- 1:44:51air run game. They've done that for the past four or five years.
- 1:44:55And as far as number two, Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, like you
- 1:44:59said, I expect them to figure this out because there's no way you could
- 1:45:02tell me that this Chiefs offense they're gonna be averaging under under twenty two to
- 1:45:08twenty three points a game the entire season. There's gonna be times where this
- 1:45:12offense explodes for over thirty points a game, and maybe is maybe it's gonna
- 1:45:15give the momentum that they need. The number three. They keep moving up
- 1:45:20and up and up. I know that Jamar Chase there is an injury concern
- 1:45:25as far as that as far as he may not play, but I'm still
- 1:45:30confident Joe Joey b he gets things done. Tom Brady asked the He's not
- 1:45:35the closest thing to Tom Brady, but he is. Tom Brady asked,
- 1:45:39he he just finds a way to win, and all he does is win.
- 1:45:43Number four I have the Jacksonville Jaguars. I would have them higher than
- 1:45:45the Bengals. But again, I go back to quarterback play. I feel
- 1:45:49like Joe Burrow as of right now, is playing better quarterback play than Trevor
- 1:45:56Lawrence. And the defense is they both. I feel like they're both kind
- 1:46:01of at a stand still right there. They're not on the levels as the
- 1:46:04Chiefs and Ravens, but they're both good defenses. Both. Yeah, they're
- 1:46:09both very good defenses. So then I go down a quarterback play and number
- 1:46:15five of Miami Dolphins, I have them there. They have the explosiveness they
- 1:46:19have to Tyreek Hill, Jalen Waddle, Davon a change. He is coming
- 1:46:24back, so that could bring a different element, different, different type of
- 1:46:28speed to this offense. And they haven't beaten some of the good teams in
- 1:46:31the league, but eventually I think they will. I know that they have
- 1:46:36next or they have their bye week next but after that you have the Raiders,
- 1:46:42the Jets, the Commanders, the tight Ends, and then you have
- 1:46:45the Jets again. So that's another stretch of five games where you could win.
- 1:46:48So they could end up being eleven and three in we're not even talking
- 1:46:51about them beating the five hundred teams because they're going to be in the playoffs.
- 1:46:56But is there anything you disagree with? Really? No, I'm not
- 1:47:00mad at you about the Ravens over the Chiefs. It's just like we can't
- 1:47:05expect mahomes and and you read they're probably the best outside of Brady and Belichick,
- 1:47:11the best duo in history, not to figure this out, you know.
- 1:47:14So it's like it's just a matter of establishing who's our receiver, Who's
- 1:47:17the guy that's gonna make plays outside of Kelsey, outside of Pacheco, because
- 1:47:20they miss not Kelsey or Pacheco. Right now, it's kind of slim pickens,
- 1:47:25like you know what I'm saying, Like these guys aren't getting open,
- 1:47:28they're not they're not establishing dominance where she Rice is. Once he gets the
- 1:47:32ball in his hands, he makes things happen. So it's like, can't
- 1:47:34we just get him? I think he's the guy he's the guy that's gonna
- 1:47:38step up. It sucks that he's the rookie on the team that has to
- 1:47:40step up. But it's just a matter of time, I think, till
- 1:47:43they yeah, till they figure it out. They have the best old line
- 1:47:45probably in the NFL. Arguably, I'm not saying they arguably have the best
- 1:47:48a line in the NFL. They have the best quarterback, and I think
- 1:47:51they have the better running back of the two. So it's just like it's
- 1:47:55just a matter of them figuring out. And then Mark Andrews and Travis Kelsey
- 1:47:59they're just different. There's just levels to this man. So you know,
- 1:48:01it's like I think once they figured out, they're going to be the they're
- 1:48:04going to be the the same old chief we see every year. Oh did
- 1:48:10you see that that Chiefs game? You see Chiefs Kingdom in Germany? Man,
- 1:48:14it was home. That was like a home game right there. I'll
- 1:48:17tell you what's pretty cool though, when they say, like at the end
- 1:48:20of the national anthem, when they say the Brave and they still said it
- 1:48:25they home with the Chiefs. That that's pretty cool right there. I'll give
- 1:48:29them that. Did you see my home space? And when they said that.
- 1:48:31Yeah, he was like yeah, he was like, yeah, this
- 1:48:34is the home game. Yeah. No, I feel like the Chiefs fans
- 1:48:39they travel the most out of any team as far as the Chiefs, Cowboys,
- 1:48:44Steelers, and Packers, those four franchises, those travel them. We're
- 1:48:47talking about like the oldest teams in the NFL. Though, like you also,
- 1:48:49it's kind of like, yeah, that's true, but you Okay,
- 1:48:55let's be honest. Ten fifteen years ago, you never really saw Chiefs fans
- 1:49:00traveling like they do now. But but they did have the loudest stadium.
- 1:49:03They do have the loud stay in the NFL for like thirty years already.
- 1:49:06So it's like, also, the Chiefs were losing, so I don't need
- 1:49:10if Chiefs fans are gonna spend their money on going to like, yeah games,
- 1:49:14like watch their asses get kicked. Yeah yeah, but hey, y'all,
- 1:49:18y'all have Bo Jackson in the backfield, so so hey, hey make
- 1:49:25it fun. I'm gonna get slammed for that, but I will argue with
- 1:49:28anybody. I will argue with anybody. Right now, y'all follow him at
- 1:49:31Twitter at Flying Garcia hundred until y'all give me that give me that overrated muscle
- 1:49:39milk man in the back. Bro Like, come on, like, you
- 1:49:42get out of here with that. Bo Jackson wasn't that elite dude? Okay,
- 1:49:45it's totally off topic. Totally off topic. We're running low on time,
- 1:49:49I guess, but I got an argument. Bro. I posted that
- 1:49:53there's a thing on TikTok a video of prime Ezekiel Elliott. I said in
- 1:49:57the comics in my lifetime, Ezekiel Elliott is the best running back in his
- 1:50:00prime that I have ever seen. And someone said better than Bo Jackson.
- 1:50:04Like, hell yeah, better than bo Jackson. Bro Okay, Jackson never
- 1:50:10Bo Jackson never broke a thousand yards in his career. Ezekiel Elliott clears Bo
- 1:50:15Jackson in any level of football in history. Bro. I will argue with
- 1:50:18anyone in their Mama dogs. I'm an Ezekiel Elliott fan. I'm a real
- 1:50:24big fan of Zeke. I'm not Zeke is better. Let me get that
- 1:50:26straight right there. Zeke is better but Bo Jackson. If he did not
- 1:50:30get hurt, he had the most potential out of any running back. He
- 1:50:33had the speed, power, agility, anything, anything. He had it
- 1:50:39there. Yes, he didn't crack over one hundred. The same thing about
- 1:50:42Andrew Luck. And Andrew Luck, he's considered one of the biggest what is
- 1:50:47the biggest potentials as far as quarterbacks, we're just saying as far as with
- 1:50:53with C. J. Stroud, him being an Andrew Luck company. So
- 1:50:58but all right, yeah, but we don't say but when we make arguments
- 1:51:00on running back you will say, oh, he's in bo Jackson company.
- 1:51:02No, we say he's a man. He's in both. He's in Barry
- 1:51:05Sanders, Adrian Peterson. Like we lift twenty four twenty twenty, we lift
- 1:51:11twenty running backs before we list Bo Jackson, bro. But come on,
- 1:51:15man, I can't wait. Remember you guys, I'm gonna say this again,
- 1:51:18Flying Garcia one hundred. You guys hit him up on Twitter as far
- 1:51:23as with this, do it, do it? But all right, uh,
- 1:51:27before we get it, go ahead and get more off topic. We're
- 1:51:30gonna go ahead and make our week ten predictions. So Josh once again he
- 1:51:35wins, goes to goes to three and oh as far as oh my mic
- 1:51:43cut out for it's like, all right, we're good, all right,
- 1:51:45So he goes to three and oh, as far as the predictions, and
- 1:51:48all right, It's time to step up right here. This this is where
- 1:51:51we start making making big pushes right here. Just how like my fantasy football
- 1:51:57team, I added Tom Brady? Yes, I did you? You heard
- 1:52:00that I added Tom Brady. We end up winning you and hey, guess
- 1:52:03what I won? I won. I just needed that locker room presence right
- 1:52:06there. But you know what, we're gonna turn this around right here,
- 1:52:10We're gonna start making a comeback. We're gonna do something better than what Lebron
- 1:52:14did, come back from three to zero right here and start dominating. So
- 1:52:16we're gonna start off with this Thursday night football game. Right here, we
- 1:52:19have the Panthers at the Chicago Bears, justin Fields, most likely coming back.
- 1:52:25Who do you have in this game? The Carolina Panthers put it on
- 1:52:30the board. Oh oh shoot, all right, well, I guess we're
- 1:52:34already gonna disagree. Right here, I have the Chicago Bears winning this one.
- 1:52:40I think justin Fields he comes back. He may not look as dynamic,
- 1:52:45but I think that that they should be able to get it done.
- 1:52:48They have been able to run the ball very well lately. So yeah,
- 1:52:51give me the Bears in this one, especially at home and So we have
- 1:52:56another one of the Germany games. It's a Colts versus the Patriots. Who
- 1:53:00do you have in this one? Give me the Indianapolis Colts. I'll take
- 1:53:03the Colts in this game. Yeah. No, give me the Colts in
- 1:53:06this one too. This is pretty simple. Next game right here, This
- 1:53:11one's actually pretty tough. It's the Houston Texans versus the Cincinnati Bengals. Oh,
- 1:53:17give me the Bengals. Bro, I thought you're gonna say, I'm
- 1:53:21gonna change. I'm gonna change my first pick to the Bears because there's no
- 1:53:25way the Bears do not beat the Panthers in this game because they want that
- 1:53:29number one overall pick. Give me change my pick to the Bears. We
- 1:53:32change your all right. So give me the Bengals in this one too.
- 1:53:38I think they carry on momentum even without Chase. Next one, we have
- 1:53:42the Packers at Pittsburgh. Give me give me the Green Bay Green Bay Packers.
- 1:53:47You know what it's like. You said you can't trust the guy with
- 1:53:50two gloves But you know what, I'm trusting the guy with two gloves today.
- 1:53:55Uh give me can you Pickett? Can you Pickett? He's probably gonna
- 1:53:58have a game winning, driving this damn game and end up winning. But
- 1:54:00next game, we have the Tennessee Titans at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I
- 1:54:04know you're a Baker guy, so you're gonna go with Baker again. Yeah,
- 1:54:09I'm gonna go with the Buccaneers again. You can go with the Buccaneers
- 1:54:12again. They just have to win one of these games, dude, like
- 1:54:14they have to win one with this offense they have. I think the Buccaneers
- 1:54:18actually pull pull this one through that. I don't think Mayo man, he's
- 1:54:23he's able to get this one. I feel like the Buccaneers defense is a
- 1:54:26step up. Yeah it's it's Mayo man. But all right, next one,
- 1:54:30we have one of the AFC North matchups, and oh shoot, the
- 1:54:34Ravens are favored by six, the Cleveland Browns at the Baltimore Ravens. Uh,
- 1:54:42give me the Baltimore Ravens. Give me the Ravens in this one too.
- 1:54:45Dang, another good twelve o'clock game. Right here, you have both
- 1:54:48teams coming off of by the San Francisco forty nine Ers versus the Jacksonville Jaguars.
- 1:54:55Crap, Oh, give me the San Francisco forty nine in this one.
- 1:55:00Gimme the Jacksonville Jaguars in this one. This is where Trevor Lawrence becomes
- 1:55:05a man. This is where like golf will remember the Titans, where Sunshine
- 1:55:10he becomes the big deal. This is where Sunshine he returns right here and
- 1:55:14ends up having Yeah. Well, okay, he's not gonna cut his head,
- 1:55:17but he's gonna throw for three hundred yards. He's gonna be throwing a
- 1:55:20party on the Niners. Next game, we have the New Orleans Saints versus
- 1:55:27Joshua Dobbs and the Minnesota Vikings. Let's keep the Josh Dobbs roll the jobs,
- 1:55:35Josh Dobbs train rolling, bro, give me Josh Dobbs in this one.
- 1:55:40The Minnesota Vikings. Man. As much as I want to pick Josh
- 1:55:43Dobbs, I just feel like New Orleans are gonna win this game right here.
- 1:55:45This defense is too down good. So I know Josh Dobbs he has
- 1:55:50played against good defenses, but I just think that I just think that the
- 1:55:55Saints they should pull this through right here. Josh brain well he is a
- 1:56:00rocket scientist, so literally yeah, but all right, we're gonna go ahea
- 1:56:04and get into the three o'clock games. It is that Atlanta Falcons versus the
- 1:56:10Arizona Cardinals, in which Kyler Murray he should be making his return back.
- 1:56:14If Kyler Murray's coming back, give me the Cardinals. But if if he
- 1:56:17does, if we if we get confirmation that he isn't coming back, I'm
- 1:56:20switching. Might pick to the Falcons. All right, Well, either way,
- 1:56:25give me the Atlanta Falcons in this game. I don't think Kyler Murray.
- 1:56:29Look watch him, he's gonna after this. He's probably gonna go for
- 1:56:31like five hundred yards. But I don't feel like his first game back he's
- 1:56:34gonna be that dynamic. I feel like he's gonna still be getting this legs
- 1:56:38And starting him in Fantasy next week. You are, yeah, because Jalen
- 1:56:43Hurts is on buy in one of my leaks. Yeah, that's risky,
- 1:56:47right there. I held him, I held on, I held on to
- 1:56:50him just for this very moment. Well there you go. You're gonna have
- 1:56:55a chance. I have him in one league. You know what, I
- 1:56:58think. I don't know. I don't know who my other quarterback is,
- 1:57:00but I may have to start him too because I think my quarterbacks. Oh
- 1:57:03no, I have to so I'm gonna have to start him. So yeah,
- 1:57:06well damn, I'm gonna be in the same boat as you then.
- 1:57:09But all right, next game, it's a it's the other three oh five
- 1:57:14game. It's the Lions versus the Los Angeles Chargers. We already know where
- 1:57:19I'm going with this one. Give me the Detroit Lions. Detroit Lions.
- 1:57:26Man, this I feel like, Man, I don't know why this is
- 1:57:31a tough game for me. My mind is just saying, okay, well
- 1:57:35pick pick the Lions. They should win this game. I don't I don't
- 1:57:41hate the Lions. There's there's no reason for me to hate the Lions.
- 1:57:45But just you know what, this where you gotta make. This where you
- 1:57:49got to make your money. Right here, Give me the Chargers over the
- 1:57:51Lions. That's my upset of the week right there. Give me the Chargers.
- 1:57:56I think they'll find a way to pull this one. This is this
- 1:57:58is where I go for and look, well, top I ended up losing
- 1:58:01off of that one. But all right, started the three twenty five games.
- 1:58:05You have America's team, the best quarterback playing right now, Dak Prescott.
- 1:58:12Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
- 1:58:15yeah, We're not worried about that this week, for this week,
- 1:58:18for this week. Okay, hey hey hey, no no, no,
- 1:58:20no, no, he is the best quarterback. But all right, Dallas
- 1:58:26Cowboys versus New York Giants in Dallas to the Cowboys. Give me the Cowboy.
- 1:58:34Yeah no, give me the Italian stallion, the Italian. It will
- 1:58:39be like it will be like Rocky versus versus Apollo Creed Dude, Route Fight
- 1:58:44number two versus Ivan Drago. This is what it's gonna be, dude.
- 1:58:47So now give me the Cowboys, the Cowboys. You know what the Cowboys
- 1:58:53are favored by in this matchup right here there, minus and a half,
- 1:58:57No, sixteen and a half. Yeah, yeah, that's crazy. Well,
- 1:59:01so the Cowboys at home, they've won eleven. That's not gonna happen.
- 1:59:05There's no way that happens. And now that that, if it's that
- 1:59:10high, there's no way it happens. Now, I'm just kidding. This
- 1:59:14team, this Giants team is pretty bad the Cowboys. Because the Cowboys the
- 1:59:19last eleven games they won at home, and they've beat teams by an average
- 1:59:23of seventeen points a game at home. So that's saying something right there.
- 1:59:29But all right, the other three twenty five game, we have the Commanders
- 1:59:31at Seattle. Somehow is bawling right now? Is that it is? This
- 1:59:35a tough game for you to pick? It is? I like themhow a
- 1:59:40lot. I'm an pick somehow believer I'm gonna do. But I'm gonna take
- 1:59:43the Seattle Seahawks. Yeah. No, give me Seahawks in this one too.
- 1:59:45I think they bounced back after that terrible loss. But Brian Robinson,
- 1:59:51he's more than eight carries. It's over. Just wrap the game. Just
- 1:59:58wrap the game. That's how it goes. Yeah, But all right,
- 2:00:02Sunday Night Football, we have the New York Jets versus Antonio Pierce led Raiders
- 2:00:10with Aidan O'Connell. Who do you have in this one? The New York
- 2:00:15Jets. Give me the New York Jets. Zach Zach Wilson's gonna figure get
- 2:00:20one game, bro, He's a he's gonna get one game. We said
- 2:00:26Bryce Young was gonna have one good game, but we're still waiting on that
- 2:00:30one. So so, yeah, I know you have one game. It
- 2:00:35was they know it was a touchdown, so it was that's a good game
- 2:00:41for him. Okay, okay, like you like you said Mayo. Man,
- 2:00:46he's better. But anyways, yeah, yeah, no, give me
- 2:00:50give me the Jets in this one. And all right, Monday Night Football,
- 2:00:54the last game of the week. It's the Denver Broncos versus the Buffalo
- 2:00:59bill in Buffalo. Give me the Buffalo Bills. I think they win this
- 2:01:02one. Yeah, no, give me the Bills. They always bounce back
- 2:01:06this one. Yeah. If they lose this one, no, I don't
- 2:01:10hope they. I don't hope they win this one, honestly, but I
- 2:01:13hope they actually move this But I think they'll win. Honestly. That would
- 2:01:16be Buffalo Bill's fashion right there to end up losing this game right here.
- 2:01:20But no, give me the Buffalo Bills in this one too. But all
- 2:01:25right, since we picked our NFL Week ten predictions, we're gonna go ahead
- 2:01:30and get into college football games, the games that we wanted to see.
- 2:01:34And did you want to start off with my game or your game? We
- 2:01:40can start with your game. I have a lot to say about that one,
- 2:01:44all right, Well, or not a lot, but I have something
- 2:01:45to say about well. All right, So it was USC versus Washington.
- 2:01:50That's the game that I wanted to see USC. They fall to seven and
- 2:01:54three their pack twelve chances are over Washington goes to nine to zero, which
- 2:01:58Washington they win fifth two to forty two. And this game right here,
- 2:02:03it was just a high level of two great quarterbacks playing right here. And
- 2:02:09just shout out to Dylan Johnson twenty six carries, two hundred and fifty six
- 2:02:13yards, four touchdowns. He was just a stud and in total he had
- 2:02:18I think four hundred total rushing yards, so he literally doubled that in what
- 2:02:24or not doubled, got half of that in just one game right there,
- 2:02:29and their rushing offense was just amazing forty two carries three hundred and sixteen yards
- 2:02:34and Michael Pennix Junior twenty two for thirty two and fifty six yards, two
- 2:02:39touchdowns. I know he had one pick, but he did what he had
- 2:02:42to do. And Romeo Odonze, he in my opinion, other than mar
- 2:02:48if it wasn't for Marvin Harrison Junior, he would be talked about as far
- 2:02:53as the best wide receiver in this draft class right here. And for your
- 2:02:57boy, oh yes, over Coleman. As much as I don't want to,
- 2:03:01I'm being honest here, Romeo Dunza, he's He's just that dude.
- 2:03:05He finds a way to get open. And Caleb Williams, my guy,
- 2:03:11Caleb Williams. There's nothing really I could I could say he played like Superman.
- 2:03:16He played like Superman, and there's only so much that Superman can do.
- 2:03:19Superman can can't save Earth and say Venus and Mars and Neptune, man
- 2:03:26Jupiter, he can't do all of that. This defense is just terrible.
- 2:03:30Caleb Williams twenty seven for thirty six, three hundred and twelve yards, three
- 2:03:32touchdowns. He made great plays, plays that shouldn't have even happened. But
- 2:03:38this defense is just atrocious. And I know they fired their DC something Grinch
- 2:03:45I can't remember, but yeah, I think this kind of goes a little
- 2:03:51bit on Lincoln Ridler right here, because you look at the last few years
- 2:03:57and even going back to Oklahoma, their defenses have always been terrible. So
- 2:04:01at some point it's not a defensive coordinator problem, it's a coaching problem or
- 2:04:05you're condoning it where you just don't want to play defense and you just depend
- 2:04:10on great quarterbacks to bail you out because you've had Caleb Williams, Jalen Hurts,
- 2:04:15and you had Baker Mayfield and you still haven't been able to get things
- 2:04:17done. Well, all right, Josh, what do you have to say
- 2:04:19about this game? Something for myself to talk about real quick? Oh?
- 2:04:26No, I know you're good, but no, okay, okay, here
- 2:04:30we go, all right, here we go. Okay. So as far
- 2:04:33as this game in total, Dylan Johnson balled in this game. He was
- 2:04:39doing some mean aggressive runs like it looked it made have looked like Michael Pennicks
- 2:04:45maybe got out played quote unquote by Cale Williams. But that's not on him.
- 2:04:49That's on just Dylan Johnson just having a career day, Like a career
- 2:04:53day, that's one for the books, the historic day, four touchdowns,
- 2:04:56soup fifty six. It's just it was just all in all great for him.
- 2:05:00Like it's good to see that because people can jump into the NFL just
- 2:05:04off just off that one game alone, like they they can really make things
- 2:05:10happen. And as far as like Roma Dunn's he continues his his good pace
- 2:05:15on the season five for forty two, playing really good football. Jaln Pole
- 2:05:18continues to be the good, the good, under the good, understudy the
- 2:05:21good Number two five for fifty two a touchdown after Kleb Williams. He was
- 2:05:26making some insane throws in this game. He had one where like he was
- 2:05:30getting basically pressured and he just threw a prayer up basically to the to the
- 2:05:33end zone. Hit. I forgot, I forgot which exact receiver it was
- 2:05:38in the end zone, but he hit him and yeah, yeah, in
- 2:05:41the end zone and it was a beautiful throw, like he it was like
- 2:05:44a just a cool arcing throw hit him. He's a great talent. Man.
- 2:05:47Oh, I'm not going to say once in a generation because I'm about
- 2:05:51to bring this up in a minute. I'm about to bring this up in
- 2:05:53a minute. One little thing that I want to talk about. But he
- 2:05:58did, he did. He looked amazing. It's just a matter of Washington's
- 2:06:01being the better football team in total. Like their defense didn't play bad.
- 2:06:04It's just Kayleb Williams making great plays. I think, because if you really
- 2:06:08watched his game, he was throwing some crazy balls. Michael Pennis is working
- 2:06:12his way into being in the Heisman discussion. Washington's on its way to maybe
- 2:06:15making the college football playoffs. So it's it's just a good performance from Washington.
- 2:06:19But I want to bring this up. You know how much Patrick Mahomes
- 2:06:23has changed the idea of football. If we look at Caleb Williams and Patrick
- 2:06:28mahomes college stats next to each other, Patrick Mahomes is head and shoulders,
- 2:06:32not heading shoulders, but his college stats were insane, dude. Yeah,
- 2:06:35but the things that Caleb Williams gets praised for in college were the things that
- 2:06:42Patrick Mahomes got knocked for in college. Like, it's just crazy how much
- 2:06:45they looked at Mahomes and they're like, maybe if we get a guy like
- 2:06:47that, oh, he's gonna be the next to this, you know.
- 2:06:50So it's like, it's just crazy to me how much he changed football because
- 2:06:55I'm looking at their stats side by side, and Mahomes just like he did
- 2:07:00everything that Caleb Williams has done, did end more in college with literally almost
- 2:07:04the same exact situation like terrible high high rate offense, coaches, terrible defense
- 2:07:13defenses, and Mahomes was doing that with Keiki Cooty as his number one receiver.
- 2:07:16Like, come on, bro, yeah no, you could say that
- 2:07:20Patrick Mahomes he did. He did change the way college football quarterbacks say they
- 2:07:26look And I hate that people, especially on Twitter, they're harping on.
- 2:07:30As far as Caleb Williams, oh well, he didn't make the college football
- 2:07:34playoff or college football he didn't win a college football championship. That does not
- 2:07:40matter. As far as with scouting, yeahs never came close to winning a
- 2:07:44Collge football champion. Mahomes never came close. Aaron Rodgers wasn't close. Josh
- 2:07:48Allen wasn't close. Dak Prescott Alex Smith wasn't closed. Like you really,
- 2:07:54oh, Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott Lowki almost almost got that team to a
- 2:07:59national champion. And shit like with the they had a pretty stack roster in
- 2:08:03the league. Yeah, yeah, yeah, don't start. You're gonna get
- 2:08:05our podcast canceled. Hey, hey, Dak Prescut, he's been balling,
- 2:08:11so I'm talking about team. He's been standing on business lately. But all
- 2:08:15right, we'll go ahead and discuss your game. Which one was your game?
- 2:08:20LSU versus Alabama. LSU loses to Alabama twenty eight to forty two.
- 2:08:24We watched two of the best running backs in the country. I'm just kidding
- 2:08:28quarterbacks in the country playing this game. No, I'm being completely serious when
- 2:08:33I say that. Jaydon Daniels fifteen for twenty four two hundred nineteen yards,
- 2:08:39two touchdowns, one interception, But he rushed eleven times for one hundred and
- 2:08:43sixty three yards in a touchdown, and we saw him Elak Neighbors also produce
- 2:08:48pretty good ten for one seventy one touchdown. That's another guy that could be
- 2:08:50argued maybe above from what Dun's and Keon Coleman people may argue that one draft
- 2:08:56time comes around. I'm not saying he is. I don't think he is,
- 2:08:58but that, but physicals, interviews, everything plays a role, and
- 2:09:03he's gonna be one of those guys in the mix, I think when it
- 2:09:05comes down to it. Jalen Millroe fifteen for twenty three two nineteen once again
- 2:09:13played a good running back role twenty for one to fifty five four touchdowns.
- 2:09:16That is insane. His understudy Jason mcmckellen fourteen for sixty three in a touchdown
- 2:09:22and Isaiah Bond five for sixty We watched two of the best running backs in
- 2:09:26the country play in this game so out. Honestly, it was just Alabama
- 2:09:33when needed this win badly. LSU didn't. They played good, but just
- 2:09:37not good enough, you know. Alabama's defense really came through Jalen Milroe.
- 2:09:43I really don't see this Alabama team making a run for the Collegeotball Playoff even
- 2:09:46based off this game, just because they just don't have the buyer power I
- 2:09:50think to compete this year. They don't have a do it all running back.
- 2:09:54I guess if you count Jalen, but they don't have to do it
- 2:09:58all running back. They don't have a the receivers were used to seeing from
- 2:10:01Alabama. Where he used to seeing Leale Jones, we used to seeing Amari
- 2:10:05Cooper, used to see Devonte used to seeing a going The list goes on
- 2:10:09and on, like we're used to seeing that star, that staple, Jaylen
- 2:10:15Waddle freaking you know, it just goes on and on, like Jerry Judy,
- 2:10:18Jerry Judy, Like we're used to seeing these guys, and they just
- 2:10:22don't have that guy. Like they don't have a guy that jumps out of
- 2:10:24the screen that as the best clear cut receiver in the country. They don't
- 2:10:28have that guy. Their defense is still still really good, but they just
- 2:10:31won't have the firepower to keep up with the college football. It was a
- 2:10:33good It was a good It was a good game. For them move the
- 2:10:35may move them up in the ranking. They just have to continue to dominate
- 2:10:37teams that they have a chance at making the college ball playoffs. Yeah,
- 2:10:41they just have to wish for luck that some team falls off. But we're
- 2:10:45gonna talk about that in a second. But like you were saying, as
- 2:10:48far as two of the best running backs were on display, Jaylen Milroe.
- 2:10:54At the start of this season, he was playing not that good of quarterback.
- 2:11:00And I know he's a sophomore, but he's finally starting to progress.
- 2:11:03But I don't know, I don't necessarily know what to take away from this
- 2:11:07game. I don't know if it was the Jalen Milroe is actually starting to
- 2:11:11progress or this LSU defense is bad, because I think it's a little bit
- 2:11:16of a mixture of both. And I don't know what we're gonna see because
- 2:11:20I know Bama they don't have the hardest schedule, but they're probably gonna make
- 2:11:26after beating LSU, they're gonna make the SEC championship. So we'll see how
- 2:11:28they do against Georgia. But this was a good game. Right here,
- 2:11:33I believe the score it was twenty eight to twenty eight before Jayden Daniels.
- 2:11:37He got knocked out against Number fifteen and that number dude, Yeah, no,
- 2:11:45he does. And I think Jayden Daniels, if it wasn't if the
- 2:11:50Heisman wasn't up to as far as how many wins you have, and if
- 2:11:54it was just purely off of stats, he'd be the runaway Heisman favorite right
- 2:11:58now, even over Michael Pennix. I can say that very confidently. But
- 2:12:03that number fifteen, I don't know who he is, but I just want
- 2:12:07to say that's the same dude that knocked out Quinn Edwards last year. So
- 2:12:11I guess he's just there enforcer and he just knocks people's head off. But
- 2:12:16yeah, I know this was still a good game right here, and Bama
- 2:12:20they're just a better team. Nick Saban just doing what he has to do
- 2:12:24and just just winning. But they're not the same dominant team that they once
- 2:12:28were. Any more takeaways you want to take from this game? No,
- 2:12:33that's really all I had to say with them running backs. But all right,
- 2:12:39So instead of us talking about as far as the game that we wanted
- 2:12:43to see, because I know that there's some games that are coming up that
- 2:12:46are interesting, We're going to talk about our top four college football playoff teams,
- 2:12:52because that is coming up very soon. That college football playoff rankings did
- 2:12:56come out last week, and I don't I think the week before too.
- 2:13:00So we're going to give our own top four. Josh, did you want
- 2:13:03to start this soft or did you want me to start this off? Start
- 2:13:07this one off? Go ahead. I'll start with my number one. I
- 2:13:11have Ohio State. I think Ohio State is the best team in the country
- 2:13:13right now. I think if you give Martin Harrisons junior Marvin Harrison junior the
- 2:13:18chance to play this Georgia team last year who played dirty against him, I
- 2:13:20think he goes for fifteen, two fifty and four touchdowns. What tyger Kill
- 2:13:26want to do against the Chiefs. I think he does it against Georgia.
- 2:13:28I think he does it against Georgia. I don't think you give he gets
- 2:13:31a second chance at that team. He's not gonna let it up, especially
- 2:13:35in those high stake situations. I think a maka Ugbuka is the best number
- 2:13:43two receiver in the country. He could arguably be the number one, the
- 2:13:48number two receiver he was on another team, but it's just a matter of
- 2:13:50him his health. If he can be healthy. And then Kyle McCord is
- 2:13:54balling this year. He's playing really good football, and he's the he's making
- 2:13:58a case of being one of the best quarterbacks in the country. He may
- 2:14:01not be on a lot of NFL team's radar, but he's uh he's doing.
- 2:14:07He's playing good enough to get this team going. And this this defense
- 2:14:09is playing really good football too. At number two, I have Georgia,
- 2:14:13the University of Georgia, the consensus, always in the always in the running,
- 2:14:18always in the championship. The new Alabama. People might say, but
- 2:14:22I don't trust parsons Beck too much, and without brock Bowers, that's where
- 2:14:26he dropped them to number two. For I mean, brock Bowers still lose
- 2:14:30his team in receiving yards and he hasn't played the last two games, so
- 2:14:33that that says a lot. So if they don't have him, if he's
- 2:14:35not fully healthy, then I don't see this team really going too too too
- 2:14:39far. Yeah. So at this defense, it's it's been a hit or
- 2:14:43miss. They really haven't been showting shutting out teams like they're used to.
- 2:14:46They haven't really been blowing out teams. Teams have been in these games they've
- 2:14:50lost. They I've watched a couple of games against them where I was like,
- 2:14:52oh, they might lose this game, like, but they kind of
- 2:14:56pulled it out towards the towards the end, Like I'm talking about Vanderbilt.
- 2:14:58Vanderbilt for a little bit was in this game until they kind of separated a
- 2:15:01little bit. Florida they play all right against I guess they're the better team.
- 2:15:07They should win those games. But versus Auburn, they almost lost.
- 2:15:09South Carolina they almost lost. So it's like teams they should be beating,
- 2:15:13they're not really decisively destroying them. At number three, which is probably gonna
- 2:15:18be pretty problematic considering the situation right now, I had the Michigan Wolverines,
- 2:15:22but they might not even be allowed to be in the playoffs. So in
- 2:15:24my next one, I can I put two teams. But so if it
- 2:15:28stands the way it does, I have the Michigan Men with the Michigan Wolverines.
- 2:15:33Lived by John Harball. John Harpball is probably, outside of Nick Saban
- 2:15:39and Kirby Smart, maybe the best like peer coach in the all of the
- 2:15:43NFL, NFL, all of college football. He has the most experience he's
- 2:15:48been in the situations, he's played football before, so it's like he has
- 2:15:50these teams really playing really well. JJ McCarthy continues to be in the Heisman
- 2:15:56conversation. It's just depending on whether this team gets punished or not. For
- 2:16:00me, if they're gonna be in the college football playoff, yeah, so
- 2:16:03that this is where I put two teams at number four, But who I
- 2:16:07think is higher? I have the Washington Huskies at number four. You're gonna
- 2:16:09hate this pick, Fonzo. I know you you're gonna hate this pick,
- 2:16:13but they do. Who I have may consider a top two, top three
- 2:16:16quarterback in the country and Michael Pennock junior, who is right now for the
- 2:16:22Heisman Trophy winner. We just saw Dylan Johnson come off a career day versus
- 2:16:26versus a an a really bad ousc offense. But but this is where I
- 2:16:33think it separates them, much like the Ohio State is these weapons with Romo
- 2:16:37Duns and Jalen Polk. These receivers have been bawling all year. They are
- 2:16:41the probably the second best one to two tandem in all of college football,
- 2:16:46and Roma Duns is arguably the second best receiver in all of college football.
- 2:16:50So that's where it comes through this. This defense has played pretty okay,
- 2:16:54pretty good up onto the last couple of weeks versus Oregon and versus USC but
- 2:16:58that's a given because of the two really high powered offenses. I think they'll
- 2:17:03play better moving forward. But it's just a matter of this team kind of
- 2:17:05figuring it out and putting it together. And I have Florida State. The
- 2:17:09reason why I give them the edge is because I do think Michael Pennix is
- 2:17:13the is the factor. I think he's the better I think he's the better
- 2:17:16quarterback between him and Jordan Travis. And that's where it separated me. For
- 2:17:18the Florida State Seminoles, yeah no, I could tell obviously you're biased.
- 2:17:24I'm just kidding no, as I have on my Florida But yeah, no,
- 2:17:33for my top four teams, I agree with you one through three.
- 2:17:35Ohio State they're one. The defense. The defense is just the biggest thing
- 2:17:41the offense. It wasn't a problem even these past few years. Ryan Day
- 2:17:45He's finally built a defense and this defense, it is the best defense in
- 2:17:50the country. You can have penn State up there, you could have you
- 2:17:54could have Georgia, but I just think that Ohio State just their defense is
- 2:17:58the best and the offense they don't have to do much in which this is
- 2:18:03still a high powered offense. Two is Georgia Kirby smart. Like you said,
- 2:18:07they're the new Agebama, and it all depends can they can they win
- 2:18:13the tough games against the good teams. I think Georgia they have Ole miss
- 2:18:18next, who's a top ten opponents, so we'll see how they'll they'll really
- 2:18:22do. And Michigan that's gonna be the biggest X factor right there, because
- 2:18:26you have Michigan, Washington, Florida State, and if Michigan they're kicked out,
- 2:18:31then obviously it's gonna be as simple. Okay, you put Florida State,
- 2:18:33Washington in there if nobody else loses. So Oregon, Oregon, Oregon's
- 2:18:39outside looking into Yeah, but Oregon they're gonna have to They're gonna have to
- 2:18:43go in the championship. Yeah, and they're gonna have to beat Washington.
- 2:18:48But who says that if if Washington loses to Oregon, who says Texas doesn't
- 2:18:54jump up? That's what I'm wait, we're going off track right now,
- 2:18:58Okay, we're going right now. Yeah, let's finish finished. So all
- 2:19:03right, I have Michigan three. Uh So, what they basically said the
- 2:19:07College Football Playoff basis said, we're not gonna punish Michigan unless y'all do something.
- 2:19:11So n C double A just basis ad bet say less. So that's
- 2:19:16what they're doing. We don't know if it's gonna happen exactly. There was
- 2:19:20something that was reported earlier on in the day as far as they are going
- 2:19:24to get punished. So yeah, I have Michigan three. Number four.
- 2:19:28I still have Florida State. Uh I don't care. I'm biased. They're
- 2:19:33undefeated. They don't have the best track record, but Washington and Florida State
- 2:19:37they have struggled against teams they shouldn't be struggling against. And Michael Pennix,
- 2:19:43he is the second best quarterback in college football right now. But Jordan Travis
- 2:19:46he's not that far behind. And he does have the weapons around him.
- 2:19:50He has Johnny wilt Johnny Wilson, Keyon Coleman, he has Trey Benson,
- 2:19:56he has Lawrence Toll Philly, and then he has Jay Bell, So he
- 2:20:00has some weapons around It's not as good as Washington's, but it's up there
- 2:20:05and the defense they continue time in and timeouts. Again, they're an athletic
- 2:20:11team that could move side to side and they could keep up with some of
- 2:20:16the best offenses in the league. They could score over thirty points Florida State.
- 2:20:20This is the first time in over fifteen fifteen games that they haven't scored
- 2:20:24over thirty points. So this offense is a force to be reckoned with.
- 2:20:28But some of the honorable mentions is Washington, Washington, Oregon and Texas,
- 2:20:35And like we were talking about before, I got off track there, if
- 2:20:39Michigan they end up getting out, and if Washington they lose to Oregon,
- 2:20:43it's just a whole race on who gets that last spot right there, because
- 2:20:48if Bama keeps winning, do you think Texas really jumps up to that number
- 2:20:54four spot right there? What do you think? So if Washington is the
- 2:20:58Oregon dea, I think Texas will because they beat Bama. Mm hmm,
- 2:21:03yeah, Like they have that edge above Bama already, Like they have the
- 2:21:07deciding factor I feel like, and they have a better offense. I think
- 2:21:11they I think they do. And with cone Ewers comes back healthy, I
- 2:21:13think it's like it's gonna be it's gonna be Texas and Oregon. I think
- 2:21:20making those final runs. Even now, Penn State's offense isn't strong enough.
- 2:21:24I think that's what that's what will be the problem. But they're But as
- 2:21:28for Oregon. In Texas, they have the high powered offenses. Texas's defense
- 2:21:33is good when most of the time, except versus the Oklahoma Sooners, I
- 2:21:39guess yeah, but they and even with the Sooners losing, that helps the
- 2:21:43Texas out a lot. If Texas can win the Big twelve and then Oregon
- 2:21:46somehow win the Pac twelve, it's just a it's just a matter of like
- 2:21:52who do whether yeah yeah, yeah yeah if if Michigan is out, And
- 2:21:58that's the same with Florida State, if they can win, if they can
- 2:22:01win out, you know. So it's like it's just with Washington too.
- 2:22:05It's just all four of those teams are in a race right now. I'll
- 2:22:09say this, Florida State, they have the easiest path out of every team
- 2:22:13one through eight because the ACC it is the weakest conference. So so here's
- 2:22:18where I'm saying this. So it's it starts getting a little bit crazy here
- 2:22:24all these different matchups. So SEC Championship, you got Bama in Georgia.
- 2:22:28If Bama beats Georgia, then it's gonna mess up the whole down board right
- 2:22:31there. Do you move in Bama? You move Texas? Do you move
- 2:22:35Texas in to the top four because Texas beat Bama or Michigan Ohio State they
- 2:22:41play at the end of the year. Do one of those go? Oh?
- 2:22:43I can't wait for them to expand the college playoffs. Yeah, I
- 2:22:46can't wait for that to happen. Yeah, No, I'm ready for that
- 2:22:50next year because there's gonna be some teams. It just sucks. There's a
- 2:22:54bunch of talented teams, and if you get one loss in the college football
- 2:22:58player, if you're basically screwed over unless something happens. So hmm, I'll
- 2:23:05say this, Florida State, they have the easiest path out of everybody.
- 2:23:09But will they make it in if if so happened, Washington stays undefeated,
- 2:23:16Probably not because they have the weaker schedule and they don't have the strongest victories.
- 2:23:24Yeah, because then Washington would have been they would have been usc they
- 2:23:31would have been Oregon twice and that that goes that goes Yeah, they'd be
- 2:23:35in Utah. That goes a long way when it comes to them making the
- 2:23:37playoffs. Yeah, and then they're gonna go, oh, they have the
- 2:23:41Heisman Trophy winner and Michael Pennis, you know, so it's gonna be like
- 2:23:43leave them out. Yeah, yeah, him or Marvin Harrison. I think
- 2:23:48it's gonna be like neck and neck right now for whoever wins that thing.
- 2:23:52Yeah, So it's it's so if Michael Pennicks wins the Heisman and his team's
- 2:23:56in the top five, like come on, like, it's gonna be like
- 2:24:01yeah. But the biggest question I have, it's the last game of the
- 2:24:05year. It's it's November twenty fifth, which is the game of the year
- 2:24:09Michigan Ohio State. So obviously both of those teams are in the top four.
- 2:24:13One of those teams are going to go out of the top four because
- 2:24:18say, I also do think it may be a thing like let's say they
- 2:24:20play each other really hard and then like it's like a three point win,
- 2:24:26like comes down to a field goal. I don't think those teams move out
- 2:24:28the top four. But but here's where you could say you're doing something unprecedent
- 2:24:33because Michigan Ohio State they're gonna lose what if Florida State and Washington both win?
- 2:24:39Are you going to leave out an undefeated team? That would be the
- 2:24:41first time ever? Right there, That's that's where it gets interesting because I
- 2:24:46can understand that Michigan Ohio State, they're the two best teams. We saw
- 2:24:52what happened last year when they let TCUINEA and TCU just got destroyed by Georgia.
- 2:25:00Like, I don't think the I think that's probably gonna be taken into
- 2:25:03a factor this year because they don't want to see that happen again. You
- 2:25:05know what I'm saying. Yeah, I could see that. Yeah, but
- 2:25:09it's not like that. We're gonna we're in a weird part of road situation.
- 2:25:13Yeah. I'm just ready for this twelve team playoff because it's gonna have
- 2:25:16a lot more teams into it and it's gonna just make college football more exciting.
- 2:25:22But all right, Uh, now that we finished up with college football
- 2:25:26playoffs, we're gonna do what we did last week. This is gonna be
- 2:25:30a continuation the so called m vps of the week. Josh, I'm gonna
- 2:25:35go and let you get started on this one. My so called MVP of
- 2:25:41the week, mister Joshua Dobbs is my so called MVP of the week.
- 2:25:46I think it's just you have to give it to the man comes in.
- 2:25:50Did he even take a practice snap? Did he even take a pregame snap?
- 2:25:54Bro? Yeah, he freaking showed up. At he showed up,
- 2:26:00he said, chilling. He just got done grilling on the on the grill
- 2:26:03with some making some burgers and they were like, hey, it's your turn,
- 2:26:07and he was like, hold my beer. He freaking went out there
- 2:26:11and bauld and let this Minnesota Vikings team to into the win column five and
- 2:26:16four. He led a game winning drive in the final minute of this game.
- 2:26:20And yeah, that's that's my so called MVP of the week because he
- 2:26:24showed up, showed out, and established himself just for this week. It's
- 2:26:28just a matter of see if he can keep it going. But he for
- 2:26:30this week, he's the so called MVP of the week. For me,
- 2:26:33I really like that pick. But man, I had a tough time deciding
- 2:26:37right here. As far as who is the so called MVP of the week,
- 2:26:43it is a defensive player right here. So I just want to give
- 2:26:46two honorable mentions right here. Zion to follow out for two Stroud. He
- 2:26:52was there. I was so close, but I just wanted to go with
- 2:26:56the defensive player right here. So just honorable mention to z on Tofolo or
- 2:27:01twofolo for two. I don't know if I said his name right. He
- 2:27:05had a second half and a tackle and a half for loss, played a
- 2:27:09great game, had a tragedy that happened, uh, just through all the
- 2:27:13adversity, so one of his parents passed away tragically, but he's still played
- 2:27:18in that game, balled out, made a late, late, great stop
- 2:27:22to end it and they eventually won the game. But I am going to
- 2:27:26go with Max Crosby. He had three three sacks, three tackle for losses,
- 2:27:33six QB pressure, six solo tackles, played one hundred percent of the
- 2:27:35snaps, and most importantly, he talked his talk before the game even started.
- 2:27:41He said, you guys pulled up, I'm gonna be standing on business
- 2:27:43and that's exactly what he did. And yeah, that's my so called MVP
- 2:27:48of the week. Josh. Do you have anything else left to say before
- 2:27:52we close out this episode? No, just that the Chiefs are the best
- 2:27:56defense in the NFL. But thank god guys for listening. If y'all made
