Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hey, everybody. Game preview guy here with a breakdown of
- 0:02Speaker 1: all the moves teams made ahead of twenty twenty six.
- 0:05Speaker 1: Before we get into it, I am not artificial. Some
- 0:08Speaker 1: will say I'm not very intelligent either. That's debatable, but
- 0:12Speaker 1: me being a real person is not all Those bill
- 0:15Speaker 1: collectors certainly seem to think I'm real anyway. AFC south
- 0:19Speaker 1: Jaggs took it last year, Trevor Lawrence looking like a
- 0:22Speaker 1: number one overall pick. Finally, for them to repeat, he
- 0:25Speaker 1: has to keep it rolling. Jacksonville didn't make many big moves,
- 0:29Speaker 1: so they're depending on mostly the same cast. In twenty
- 0:32Speaker 1: twenty six, Houston should be tough again with that defense
- 0:36Speaker 1: Will Anderson, Danil Hunter up front and a stout secondary.
- 0:40Speaker 1: They just need CJ. Stroud to produce at a higher
- 0:43Speaker 1: level than he did in twenty twenty five. Colts think
- 0:46Speaker 1: they just need Daniel Jones to stay healthy all year
- 0:49Speaker 1: because before he went down hurt last year, they had
- 0:52Speaker 1: the top offense in football and Tennessee. They hope a
- 0:55Speaker 1: blue chip rookie receiver and a new head coach will
- 0:58Speaker 1: help propel cam Ward to to another level, which would
- 1:01Speaker 1: make them sneaky, dangerous talk about an overhaul. Tennessee Titans
- 1:06Speaker 1: three and fourteen. Last year, Quarterback of the future already
- 1:10Speaker 1: in place, though, got a new leader guy to guide
- 1:12Speaker 1: the team Woo whoa and all sorts of other new
- 1:17Speaker 1: blood in hopes of turning things around sooner rather than later.
- 1:21Speaker 1: I Robert Salah, your new head coach twenty and thirty six.
- 1:26Speaker 1: With the Jets as their leader guy a couple of
- 1:29Speaker 1: seven and ten seasons.
- 1:30Speaker 2: The proper question would be what didn't I learn? You know,
- 1:33Speaker 2: And there's so much to gain from anytime you're in
- 1:36Speaker 2: the chairs a head coach, and there's so many learning
- 1:39Speaker 2: experiences that I had. So I can sit here and
- 1:42Speaker 2: talk to you for the next four hours about all
- 1:44Speaker 2: those different things, but I can assure you that there
- 1:46Speaker 2: was tremendous growth through the opportunity that I had with
- 1:48Speaker 2: the Jets.
- 1:49Speaker 1: He's a defensive minded cat. He grabbed Brian Dable to
- 1:52Speaker 1: run his offense.
- 1:53Speaker 3: Taught more just roast an absolute scene.
- 1:57Speaker 1: He may not have been a good head coach, but
- 1:59Speaker 1: he was there when Allen took off.
- 2:01Speaker 3: Now throw to the pilot. He's a Titans touchdown.
- 2:06Speaker 1: And Jackson Dart didn't look too bad last year. Under
- 2:09Speaker 1: his guidance. They're relying on him to help cam Ward
- 2:13Speaker 1: elevate his game.
- 2:14Speaker 3: He's got an he got.
- 2:16Speaker 1: It fifteen touchdowns, seven interceptions, and eighty eight out of
- 2:20Speaker 1: the gate, and that the Titans touched up some highlight
- 2:25Speaker 1: reel throws.
- 2:27Speaker 3: Parted two cross his body to the back pilot.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Not a bad start based on what he did or
- 2:36Speaker 1: didn't have around him.
- 2:41Speaker 3: Decay.
- 2:41Speaker 1: They made two big moves to help him on the field,
- 2:44Speaker 1: used a premium first round pick on a wide receiver.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Carnel Tate is about to beat press coverage.
- 2:50Speaker 4: He's got the strength to do that, and once he
- 2:51Speaker 4: gets on top of it, he's able to stack the corner,
- 2:54Speaker 4: get on top of him, and then adjust and make
- 2:56Speaker 4: big plays down the field. He has got outstanding hand
- 3:00Speaker 4: His contact catch rate is off the charts.
- 3:02Speaker 3: If they get to his mets, he's.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Coming down with it. And they signed Wandel Robinson in

- 3:26Speaker 3: First downfield, he's done record of insigne the playoff.
- 3:33Speaker 1: They have a couple of young wide receivers they hope
- 3:35Speaker 1: can build off solid rookie seasons. Elk Iomanner caught four

- 9:37Speaker 4: But here he is again, wrapping around blocks.
- 9:39Speaker 1: Stack him next to Jeffrey Simmons remains a force death

- 11:38Speaker 1: in the NFL.
- 11:39Speaker 3: Collo We're Flying, I'll promise you I'm coming.
- 11:41Speaker 1: Those three expected to improve a run defense that gave
- 11:44Speaker 1: up four to three per carry and the rolling with
- 11:49Speaker 1: Joey Sly as the toe guy has to use it
- 11:52Speaker 1: better as he missed seven field goals last year.
- 11:55Speaker 3: Let's a fly.
- 12:03Speaker 1: Big picture view Taylor and Flott taking the snaps Snead,

- 12:21Speaker 1: front seven to two. Franklin Myers, Jordan Elliott, Thomas Falk
- 12:26Speaker 1: and Martin are all new to tighten up ward Key sweat,
- 12:31Speaker 1: Joseph Day out the door, and the rookie Gray in
- 12:34Speaker 1: their two. Their defense relying on a ton of new guys,
- 12:38Speaker 1: two new key offensive playmakers and Tay and Wandale hoping
- 12:42Speaker 1: to help Ward unlock his true potential. Ridley staying healthy
- 12:46Speaker 1: would make a big difference too. Helm now the primary
- 12:48Speaker 1: tight end, with o'conk wro gone Dable the one in
- 12:51Speaker 1: charge of designing a plan to get more out of
- 12:54Speaker 1: an offense that was a nemic last year. Tennessee's expected
- 12:57Speaker 1: strength of schedule thirteenth easy. That's basically a ranking of
- 13:01Speaker 1: teams based on their opponents expected win totals in twenty
- 13:05Speaker 1: twenty six. Let's pretend Nate Bargatzi was predicting their wins
- 13:09Speaker 1: and losses. So we're putting on tighten up glasses and
- 13:12Speaker 1: hoping for the best. They take out the Jets week one,
- 13:15Speaker 1: sweep those New York teams, beating the Giants, take Houston
- 13:19Speaker 1: at home, then the Colts, followed by Cleveland drop the
- 13:23Speaker 1: Jags in Tennessee, beat up on Washington, sweep the Colts,
- 13:27Speaker 1: Vegas is beatable, and Pittsburgh to finish with ten wins.
- 13:31Speaker 1: I wish I was as funny as the Tennessee kid,
- 13:34Speaker 1: and I wish the Titans ten wins too, But I'll
- 13:37Speaker 1: say at least six.

- 13:57Speaker 1: sir ye, ready to break on through to the other side,
- 14:02Speaker 1: which is what their defense did over and over again
- 14:05Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five.
- 14:06Speaker 6: Let's take the ball, let's go forth, and the bullpen.
- 14:09Speaker 1: Expects to see more of it this year.
- 14:11Speaker 3: Picked up full up at the fifth eg go, far goes,
- 14:14Speaker 3: far go.
- 14:15Speaker 1: If Seattle can win it all with the defense first recipe,
- 14:18Speaker 1: why not Houston?

- 15:02Speaker 1: only one hundred and eighty three yards allowed per game.
- 15:07Speaker 1: No Waldo's in their secondary. This is absurd. They have

- 15:40Speaker 1: shadow of w R Ones.

- 15:51Speaker 1: Kamari Lassiter sub seventy five rating, fat, seventeen passes defensed,
- 15:56Speaker 1: and that was just his second year.

- 18:18Speaker 1: six for a loss, knocked down four passes all career bests.
- 18:22Speaker 3: Always punched out and that's a terrific play by Tommy Tokyo.
- 18:26Speaker 1: He was big in helping them hold runners to for
- 18:28Speaker 1: a carry teams to just ninety three rush yards per game.
- 18:31Speaker 1: Seahawks are trying to get Walker going.
- 18:34Speaker 4: Hasn't been a super productive birthday so far, and they'll
- 18:38Speaker 4: throw Cayden McDonald into the nex pick him up in
- 18:41Speaker 4: the second round.
- 18:42Speaker 1: He's pretty damn good at the football, yeah, especially against
- 18:45Speaker 1: the run.
- 18:45Speaker 4: Not only is someone that can stack blocks and hold
- 18:48Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage, he is productive. He makes a
- 18:51Speaker 4: ton of tackles, he frees himself and is able to
- 18:53Speaker 4: locate the football.
- 18:54Speaker 1: You see it here working through two blocker underrated linebacking
- 18:57Speaker 1: group Aziz al Shire over one hundred tacks, well good
- 19:02Speaker 1: what and played the pass well knocking down nine passes.
- 19:05Speaker 1: Yeah yeah what made his first Pro Bowl?
- 19:08Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I threw football out.
- 19:10Speaker 1: Henry t third year as good as his second. That's
- 19:13Speaker 1: a good thing. Ninety five plus tackles for the second
- 19:16Speaker 1: year in a row, career high nine TFLs.
- 19:18Speaker 3: Alan Mini boot Allen in the backfield. That trouble he
- 19:20Speaker 3: goes down. I got he sacked by Henry Tote.
- 19:23Speaker 1: Their defense not the concern here, dude.
- 19:26Speaker 3: We gotta get better, but we take the douve gotta
- 19:28Speaker 3: get better.
- 19:29Speaker 1: It's that offense.
- 19:30Speaker 3: Yeah, I love you, baby has a fun out there?
- 19:35Speaker 3: What pass a fun? Hey, wait to see you saying maybe.
- 19:38Speaker 1: It's not that it was a train wreck. Close to
- 19:40Speaker 1: twenty four points per games at least respectable, rose to the.
- 19:43Speaker 3: Edge, out cut, touchdown, hosted scares, but.
- 19:46Speaker 1: It lacked consistency save being consistently bad in the red
- 19:50Speaker 1: zone interception.
- 19:52Speaker 3: It's the five guard line.
- 19:54Speaker 1: And on third down and.
- 19:55Speaker 3: Clings the ball forward.
- 19:57Speaker 6: The Steelers are gonna think this is a fumble with.
- 20:00Speaker 1: On top of it, and those short fallings often fell
- 20:02Speaker 1: on CJ. Stroud's shoulder.
- 20:04Speaker 4: Now the pressure came from Sawyer and Wyatt Black snatched
- 20:08Speaker 4: it out of the air.
- 20:09Speaker 1: Stroud's production has dipped each of the last two seasons
- 20:12Speaker 1: following this offensive Rookie of the Year showing in twenty
- 20:15Speaker 1: twenty three.
- 20:16Speaker 3: Strout steps up in the pocket, throws over the middle
- 20:18Speaker 3: at dinner, stept.
- 20:18Speaker 1: It from twenty three tds down to twenty then just
- 20:22Speaker 1: nineteen last year in fifteen games.
- 20:24Speaker 3: Shot that's up, a get up, let's a get a
- 20:26Speaker 3: throw down. The little chumping.
- 20:27Speaker 1: Intercept went from averaging two hundred and seventy three passing
- 20:30Speaker 1: yards per game to two nineteen and then two seventeen.
- 20:34Speaker 3: Last year he landed across the battery. They're gonna say
- 20:37Speaker 3: that the feet are in nds up.
- 20:39Speaker 1: Is a big year in determining if he was just
- 20:41Speaker 1: a right said Fred Strout.
- 20:42Speaker 3: Throws it up in the air, intercepted Marcus Jones.
- 20:44Speaker 1: Or if he is indeed a franchise quarterback?
- 20:47Speaker 3: Got by question Jack cart touchdown.
- 20:50Speaker 1: Joe said the thought was poor O line play held
- 20:53Speaker 1: him back in twenty twenty four, but they were top
- 20:56Speaker 1: ten and sacks taken last year and in pressure allowed
- 20:59Speaker 1: in the pot CJ.
- 21:00Speaker 3: Throwing back at the ed zone caught NICKO call.
- 21:03Speaker 1: It and even so they made lots of changes. Used
- 21:06Speaker 1: their first rounder on center, Keelan Rutledge. Yeah, first round
- 21:11Speaker 1: center means he's got to be pretty good.
- 21:13Speaker 4: Just watch the strain to finish. That's a scouting term
- 21:16Speaker 4: we like to throw out there. This is I just
- 21:18Speaker 4: want to show that aspect of this guy's game. You
- 21:20Speaker 4: see the size, you see as a boy to anchor
- 21:22Speaker 4: all those things. Let's just watch this dude finish.
- 21:25Speaker 3: Look at it. Just keep going driving.
- 21:26Speaker 1: We're twenty yards down the field.
- 21:28Speaker 4: And we're not stopping until you're on your back, and that's.
- 21:30Speaker 3: What he does.
- 21:31Speaker 1: He takes over for Jake Andrews, who only gave up
- 21:33Speaker 1: two and a half sacks last year. They have a
- 21:35Speaker 1: new guard in Wyatt Teller, former Brown left guard was
- 21:39Speaker 1: a mess last season due to injuries. Brought in Braden
- 21:42Speaker 1: Smith to play right tackle. Thirteen games for the Colts
- 21:46Speaker 1: a year ago, three sacks allowed takes Titus Howard spot
- 21:49Speaker 1: he allowed three sacks as well. Ursery gave up a
- 21:52Speaker 1: team high eight sacks. Was a rookie so had some bumps,
- 21:55Speaker 1: but held it down pretty well overall. He still has
- 21:58Speaker 1: a WR one type. Nico Collins hought.
- 22:01Speaker 3: By College touchdown kisted.
- 22:04Speaker 1: Over eleven hundred yards a year ago, six.
- 22:06Speaker 3: Tds hot Nico College over.
- 22:08Speaker 1: One thousand yards the last three straight years light side,
- 22:12Speaker 1: and Nico with the catch.
- 22:13Speaker 5: Light side of the zone, a touchdown rock and roll
- 22:17Speaker 5: twenty nine yard touchdown pass brook Strout to College.
- 22:21Speaker 1: Jayden Higgins matched him with six scores over five hundred
- 22:24Speaker 1: yards in his rookie campaign.
- 22:26Speaker 3: Left go left go.
- 22:28Speaker 1: Fellow rookie Jalen Noel close to three hundred yards in
- 22:31Speaker 1: his first go of it.
- 22:32Speaker 3: What sideline forty and plopped out in side by thirty yard.
- 22:36Speaker 1: Live jail at Xavier Hutchinson career high in catches, yards
- 22:40Speaker 1: and tds and playing time four hundred yards and changed
- 22:43Speaker 1: three tds in his year three.
- 22:45Speaker 3: In the episode Rock and Roll Touchdown.
- 22:49Speaker 1: Josted tight end Dalton Schultz led the team interceptions with
- 22:52Speaker 1: eighty two hit the jackpot with seven hundred and seventy
- 22:55Speaker 1: seven yards. Hope he had more than a quarter plug
- 22:58Speaker 1: in there, second most yards he's had in his eight
- 23:00Speaker 1: year career.
- 23:01Speaker 5: Goes right side back of the episode God Touchdown Dunton Shop.
- 23:06Speaker 1: They hope what he Marx can build off a rookie
- 23:08Speaker 1: season that saw him crack seven hundred yards.
- 23:10Speaker 5: Right side cuts back ted five body to the easode.
- 23:14Speaker 1: Pulled in over two hundred receiving yards on top of.
- 23:16Speaker 3: That marks across the five marks to the episode.
- 23:21Speaker 1: Marks only three six A carry will take a backseat
- 23:24Speaker 1: or share snaps with newcomer David Montgomery. They traded for
- 23:28Speaker 1: the former Lion seven hundred plus yards, eight tds and
- 23:31Speaker 1: twenty twenty five healthy four point five per run.
- 23:35Speaker 5: It goes over the right side ton of Top cuts
- 23:37Speaker 5: to a right at the fifteen get out of the
- 23:38Speaker 5: tenth town of the five to three the exode.
- 23:40Speaker 1: His arrival made Nick Chubb less of a need, chipped
- 23:43Speaker 1: in over five hundred yards.
- 23:45Speaker 3: Touch down Josta Shop to the house.
- 23:49Speaker 1: They have one of the best kickers, Kayimi Fairbairn didn't
- 23:52Speaker 1: miss an extra point, most field goal attempts and field
- 23:56Speaker 1: goals made. He went forty four for forty Eight's God.
- 24:00Speaker 1: Their offense will also get Tank Dell back at some point.
- 24:03Speaker 1: Dell missed all last year recovering from that brutal leg
- 24:07Speaker 1: injury he suffered in twenty twenty four. Was an impact
- 24:10Speaker 1: player before he got hurt. Monty new to the scene.
- 24:13Speaker 1: A couple of tweaks to the defense, but most of
- 24:16Speaker 1: the ombres that wrecked all those offenses are back. McDonald,
- 24:20Speaker 1: the rookie joining the front seven, which still features Anderson
- 24:24Speaker 1: and Hunter off the edges, and hey, hey, hey that
- 24:26Speaker 1: secondary man Stingley, Peatree, Lassiter, Bullock and now Blankenship. Find
- 24:32Speaker 1: a better back five. I'll wait. Texans face the seventh
- 24:36Speaker 1: hardest schedule this year if you look at it through
- 24:39Speaker 1: every team's opponent's projected win totals. But they're one of
- 24:43Speaker 1: the teams with an over under in the above five
- 24:45Speaker 1: hundred range at nine point five. Fact is that defense
- 24:49Speaker 1: can beat any team any week. This is their ceiling.
- 24:52Speaker 1: If we had Ferdinand, that cartoon bull played by John Cena,
- 24:56Speaker 1: go through their schedule. Beat Buffalo at home, because they
- 25:00Speaker 1: beat Buffalo at home last year, so why not again?
- 25:03Speaker 1: Beat Cincinnati at home, Indianapolis on the road, Dallas at home.
- 25:07Speaker 1: They're plenty capable of taking out Jacksonville, Tennessee, and the
- 25:10Speaker 1: Giants are supposed to be below them. Chargers is in
- 25:14Speaker 1: La and if they have their tackles this time, maybe
- 25:16Speaker 1: they take it. But take Cleveland and the Colts Pittsburgh,
- 25:20Speaker 1: Washington and the Jags in Houston, Philadelphia and Green Bay
- 25:23Speaker 1: are road tilt, so we'll let those go, but finish
- 25:26Speaker 1: with a win over the Titans. My bag feels ten
- 25:29Speaker 1: plus is at least achievable. Stroud on the offense improve
- 25:32Speaker 1: a little bit, defense holds the line.
- 25:34Speaker 2: Finally we back outside, We back outside, I'll go.
- 25:40Speaker 1: It was like watching Raiders of the Lost Arc and
- 25:44Speaker 1: then immediately watching Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, where you
- 25:47Speaker 1: go from watching a twenty eight year old Indiana.
- 25:50Speaker 3: Jones By to be a movie to be a movie to.
- 25:54Speaker 1: Watching a forty five year old version of him. I mean,
- 25:59Speaker 1: Harrison was trying his best, but it's just not the
- 26:01Speaker 1: same that was set.
- 26:02Speaker 3: That was set, that was set.
- 26:04Speaker 1: Everybody gets it, Daniel Daniel Daniel Jones followed the same
- 26:13Speaker 1: Sammy d Gino path.
- 26:15Speaker 3: I got through Rushing, Hoddy through Russian Toddy Oh.
- 26:20Speaker 1: Hushing escape the Big Apple. Live up to your potential
- 26:24Speaker 1: and you're not playing what I'm worry Dimes started falling
- 26:27Speaker 1: from the sky.
- 26:28Speaker 3: Great throw by Danny Dimes.
- 26:30Speaker 1: Indianapolis's offense spent more than half the year as the
- 26:34Speaker 1: number one scoring oh the Colts.
- 26:36Speaker 3: Now have forty points for the second time this season.
- 26:40Speaker 1: Dj pulling off a Lloyd Christmas and totally redeeming himself
- 26:45Speaker 1: to the five tds. Along the ground.
- 26:52Speaker 3: Touchdown Daniel Johns of Russian store his porn rushing touchdown
- 26:58Speaker 3: this season.
- 26:59Speaker 1: Nineteen through the air. Yes, close to two hundred and
- 27:06Speaker 1: forty passing yards per game.
- 27:07Speaker 3: Look at deep down the field that it is.
- 27:12Speaker 1: A one hundred rate. Nice throws man over eight yards
- 27:16Speaker 1: per attempt, a sixty eight percent completion rate. Wanted he
- 27:23Speaker 1: was the difference maker.
- 27:24Speaker 3: Can't be Den, can't be TONI can't beat that.
- 27:27Speaker 1: When he went down, the rest of the cards crumbled.
- 27:30Speaker 1: So now they have to see if he can pick
- 27:32Speaker 1: up where he left off. If he can, JT goes
- 27:35Speaker 1: back to being in sync.
- 27:37Speaker 3: Run down the box side like Tardy. He's at the
- 27:39Speaker 3: puny smite upondy Tom. Taylor's right out.
- 27:42Speaker 1: About defenses just keyed on him when the passing attack
- 27:46Speaker 1: wasn't popping, but when it was, Taylor was shredding.
- 27:49Speaker 3: Touch back to his right, spinning up field, still going.
- 27:52Speaker 3: It's not out of a tackle. He's at the twenty,
- 27:53Speaker 3: he's at the ten, he's at the five. Touchdown.
- 27:57Speaker 1: Still led the league with eighteen rushing tds. Stand the
- 28:01Speaker 1: trip back the dead close to sixteen hundred yards.
- 28:05Speaker 3: Turns away, nay touch down.
- 28:13Speaker 1: Four to nine A pack.
- 28:14Speaker 3: You bet to hit Mary, Oh, you got to Hitory.
- 28:17Speaker 1: And their primary four pass catchers just filled out the
- 28:20Speaker 1: band perfectly. Alec Pierce led the league in yards per
- 28:24Speaker 1: catch for a second year in a row.
- 28:25Speaker 3: Back to the end zone. It's Alec Pears.
- 28:28Speaker 1: Twenty one per catch, led the team with just over
- 28:31Speaker 1: one thousand yards first one k season of his career.
- 28:35Speaker 5: Press cut it Cats were Alec Pears touchdown.
- 28:40Speaker 1: They chose to hand him the coin, which led to
- 28:42Speaker 1: the departure of Michael Pittman, who led the team in
- 28:45Speaker 1: receptions with eighty and receiving tds with seven over seven
- 28:49Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards.
- 28:50Speaker 3: He said he stretched the ball across the goal line, so.
- 28:54Speaker 1: Josh downs needs to be more than a great three
- 28:57Speaker 1: over five hundred yards and four scores in twenty twenty five.
- 29:01Speaker 3: And the end zone touchdown touch down.
- 29:05Speaker 1: They signed Nick Westbrook a kine a three hundred to
- 29:09Speaker 1: four hundred yard type guy with the Titans, but didn't
- 29:11Speaker 1: see much action with Miami last year. Does look like
- 29:14Speaker 1: they've got their tight end for years to come.
- 29:17Speaker 3: Tyler Warren has a touchdown and three straight games.
- 29:20Speaker 1: Tyler Warren with four tds seventy six catches over eight
- 29:24Speaker 1: hundred yards to start his career turns.
- 29:26Speaker 3: For the Pilot touchdown Tyler.
- 29:30Speaker 1: Ward Jones was like, wait, so pass blocking is a thing,
- 29:35Speaker 1: Let's go. He used to get planted on the regular
- 29:38Speaker 1: in New York, not in Indy. Let's go, let's go
- 29:41Speaker 1: get one, Let's go, boy, let's go.
- 29:42Speaker 3: Let's tell let's go.
- 29:43Speaker 1: Only twenty nine sacks taken seventh fuist.
- 29:46Speaker 3: He packs to throw throws up field wide open Tyler Warren.
- 29:49Speaker 1: And he walked to the left tackle Bernard Ryman, left
- 29:53Speaker 1: guard Quenton Nelson, center Tanner Bordolini, right guard, Matt and
- 29:57Speaker 1: Calviz their starters in twenty twenty five. I have all
- 30:00Speaker 1: returning for twenty twenty six. The feeling is, get a
- 30:03Speaker 1: full year with Jones on offense, a full year of
- 30:07Speaker 1: Sauce on defense, and we're dancing.
- 30:09Speaker 3: I remember we had the knockout blood. We got the
- 30:12Speaker 3: freaking knockout blood, but of.
- 30:13Speaker 1: The breakdown, and they need that to happen based on
- 30:16Speaker 1: what they gave up for him. Massive trade in the
- 30:19Speaker 1: afc Ian Ropaport tweeting it the Jets are trading Sauce Gardner.
- 30:23Speaker 3: To the Colts.
- 30:24Speaker 1: Big picture twenty twenty five twenty third in yards per
- 30:27Speaker 1: game allowed in John passes to twenty four points per
- 30:31Speaker 1: game given up turns, twenty sixth on third down pass
- 30:40Speaker 1: rush could be more effective, middle of the pack in
- 30:43Speaker 1: sacks and worse than sack percentage.
- 30:45Speaker 3: Here comes to the rush by the Colts and they
- 30:47Speaker 3: sack them inside the twenty five yard line.
- 30:49Speaker 1: They didn't close the deal at a high enough rate.
- 30:52Speaker 5: Stafford most leven in the pocket, and he is crimming
- 30:55Speaker 5: down the sault.
- 30:56Speaker 1: They gave up the second most passing yards per game.
- 31:00Speaker 3: Well there's Robinson touchdown.
- 31:03Speaker 1: Because they faced the second most pass attempts of any team,
- 31:11Speaker 1: they didn't fare as bad based on volume, holding quarterbacks
- 31:18Speaker 1: to a sub ninety rate.
- 31:19Speaker 3: Do I wish I could tell you what that dances,
- 31:21Speaker 3: but I am not familiar with that at all.
- 31:24Speaker 1: Into their front might not have bothered quarterbacks enough, but
- 31:27Speaker 1: they were second in yards. Will carry a loud down low.
- 31:33Speaker 1: You wouldn't think Grover would be good in the trenches,
- 31:35Speaker 1: but Stewart isn't a skinny blue muppet. He's a k
- 31:38Speaker 1: Dot fan. If you don't come for the chili, what'd
- 31:41Speaker 1: you come for? Over fifty tackles As the big body
- 31:44Speaker 1: DT in the middle.
- 31:46Speaker 3: Herbert comes backed up of the air. Who's got its
- 31:49Speaker 3: big moss pack? Crover Stu.
- 31:52Speaker 1: They had three guys with one hundred plus tackles, but
- 31:54Speaker 1: none of them are coming back. They're trotting out two
- 31:57Speaker 1: new inside linebackers. No more Germanere at one hundred and
- 32:01Speaker 1: one tackles in just twelve games.
- 32:03Speaker 3: And speaking of stops, Servain Pratt.
- 32:06Speaker 1: His partners iyear. Franklin also left town. One hundred and
- 32:09Speaker 1: twenty five raps last year plus two.
- 32:11Speaker 3: Sacks every cover, I'll lose football.
- 32:15Speaker 1: They replaced one with another triple digit tackle guy at
- 32:18Speaker 1: least a keen. Davis Gaither a career high and starts
- 32:21Speaker 1: and tackles, took down one hundred and seventeen ball carriers
- 32:24Speaker 1: for the Cardinals.
- 32:25Speaker 3: But then it's picks over the middle Davis Gabo and.
- 32:30Speaker 1: They drafted C. J. Allen with their second round draft pick.
- 32:33Speaker 3: Very good chance he could have hurt his name last night.
- 32:35Speaker 3: He falls into the second round into this range, and.
- 32:38Speaker 4: It's the good fortune of the Indianapolis Colts. Then I
- 32:40Speaker 4: only just got a linebacker to putting their middle their defense.
- 32:43Speaker 4: They got a leader that they can establish in the
- 32:45Speaker 4: middle of their defense.
- 32:46Speaker 1: But they cut ties with strong safety Nick Cross and
- 32:49Speaker 1: his one hundred and twenty takedowns a pick in two
- 32:52Speaker 1: and a half sacks last year. Ross on this stack
- 32:55Speaker 1: taking his spot potentially their third round pick AJ Halsey.
- 33:00Speaker 1: And then watch him plan and drive.
- 33:01Speaker 4: He's really good at reading the quarterback and positioning himself
- 33:05Speaker 4: to make plays.
- 33:05Speaker 1: On the football area. Is doing it down in the
- 33:07Speaker 1: red zone and doing it in.
- 33:09Speaker 3: And the SEC at a very high level.
- 33:12Speaker 1: Free safety Cambina Baby held his targets to a nice
- 33:19Speaker 1: low sixties rate.
- 33:21Speaker 3: No no, no, no, no, no no.
- 33:27Speaker 1: The eighty one tackles h we will drop up four picks.
- 33:35Speaker 3: That can't find him at the forty two yard line.
- 33:38Speaker 1: Great debut with the shoe.
- 33:39Speaker 3: I've never noticed that there's line all four.
- 33:41Speaker 1: Of Indies corners with some ninety rates allowed. Char Various
- 33:45Speaker 1: Ward only got in seven games solid when he was healthy.
- 33:48Speaker 3: Steps back to the forty one and throws at it too. Play.
- 33:52Speaker 1: Same for Sauce Gardner, only got in a few games
- 33:55Speaker 1: post trade.
- 33:56Speaker 6: Sauce Gardner nearly had his first big impact.
- 33:59Speaker 3: Play as a colt.
- 34:00Speaker 1: Kenny Moore, not returning, kept things in the mid eighties
- 34:03Speaker 1: rate wise. On his way out, took a flyer on corner.
- 34:09Speaker 1: Kim Taylor Britt who was CEB one material for a
- 34:12Speaker 1: bit in Cincinnati. Not last year, though, which is why
- 34:15Speaker 1: he was available. dB Mackai Blackman held quarterbacks to a
- 34:19Speaker 1: sub ninety right two picks over sixty tackles full year.
- 34:22Speaker 1: Eleven starts and.
- 34:23Speaker 3: It's picked off. This time it's intercepted by the Colton
- 34:26Speaker 3: it's ma Kaile Blackman.
- 34:28Speaker 1: They need more help from their front though. Layatu Latu,
- 34:31Speaker 1: the one guy who did his part.
- 34:33Speaker 3: Picked off Laya two la too at the interception.
- 34:36Speaker 1: Oh led the team in QB hits that Latu Lato
- 34:42Speaker 1: eight and a half sacks.
- 34:43Speaker 3: Who had that on their bingo card.
- 34:44Speaker 1: To start out defensive end, Samson ebucom two sacks fourteen games,
- 34:49Speaker 1: so he isn't coming back and neither is defensive end.
- 34:51Speaker 1: Quitty pay Prisette dot Sand takes a sack who only
- 34:56Speaker 1: managed four backs. They picked up arden Key, a four
- 34:59Speaker 1: to six and a half sat guy four years running.
- 35:02Speaker 6: Pressure up the middle and trouble a downy goals.
- 35:05Speaker 1: He joins defensive tackle to Forrest Buckner, only played ten games,
- 35:09Speaker 1: racked four quarterbacks in that window.
- 35:11Speaker 3: Plants. Here comes the russ by the Colts.
- 35:13Speaker 4: They twist them down and it's the Forest Buckner back
- 35:16Speaker 4: to the forty four yard line.
- 35:18Speaker 1: Colts used three different kickers last year. Spencer Schrader finished
- 35:22Speaker 1: and went thirteen for fourteen on field goal attempts, fourteen
- 35:25Speaker 1: for fourteen on extra points.
- 35:27Speaker 3: So game on kick us out its way head to
- 35:29Speaker 3: put the up times.
- 35:34Speaker 1: Two questions with their offense. Will DJ pick back up
- 35:37Speaker 1: where he left off? And what will the absence of
- 35:40Speaker 1: Pittman mean. Pierce and JT should keep doing their thing,
- 35:43Speaker 1: but they may have to step up their games even more.
- 35:46Speaker 1: Defensive front seven key for Quiddy. That's a four sat
- 35:50Speaker 1: guy for a four sat guy. Rest of the front
- 35:52Speaker 1: three are the same. If Buckner plays all year, that
- 35:54Speaker 1: would make a big difference. Revamped second level Davis gather
- 35:58Speaker 1: a one hundred plus tack dude in for Franklin who
- 36:01Speaker 1: was also a triple digit tackle dude Alan and Bryce Betcher,
- 36:05Speaker 1: a fourth rounder who may be a steal filling the
- 36:08Speaker 1: void left by Pratt in the secondary. Give them sauce
- 36:11Speaker 1: for a full year with Ward and they play the
- 36:14Speaker 1: pass better than last year. They do need somebody to
- 36:16Speaker 1: step up and fill the void left by more though
- 36:19Speaker 1: Haulsey having a chance to start next to buying them
- 36:21Speaker 1: with Cross no longer in the building. Colts have a
- 36:24Speaker 1: favorable schedule in theory ninth easiest if you go by
- 36:28Speaker 1: their twenty twenty six opponents expected win totals. Indy's own
- 36:32Speaker 1: over under mark sits at seven and a half. So
- 36:35Speaker 1: what's their ceiling if their roster was even just one
- 36:38Speaker 1: game better than that tough first three games. But let's
- 36:41Speaker 1: give him a home win over Houston, followed by wins
- 36:44Speaker 1: over Washington, Pittsburgh, Tennessee, and Minnesota. They take Miami, the
- 36:50Speaker 1: Giants sweep Tennessee and beat Cleveland before a week eighteen
- 36:55Speaker 1: home win over Jacksonville. That's a ten win season. When
- 36:58Speaker 1: I dug into the game, you guy back, I found
- 37:01Speaker 1: eight wins at least for one reason or another. It's
- 37:04Speaker 1: a team that's come up short of double digit wins
- 37:07Speaker 1: the last five straight years, so I'm not sure how
- 37:10Speaker 1: many more than eight they finished with.
- 37:12Speaker 3: They've won the division title for the fifth time in
- 37:15Speaker 3: team history.
- 37:21Speaker 1: Welcome to Dove all, Liam Cohen. Freddie Di says, drinks
- 37:26Speaker 1: are on him wherever you dine. Thirteen wins in twenty
- 37:29Speaker 1: twenty five, Cohen making Trevor Lawrence look great again.
- 37:32Speaker 3: Today we get to see the edge of head coach
- 37:35Speaker 3: Liam Cohen.
- 37:35Speaker 1: Jason bounced from the good place a little too soon.
- 37:38Speaker 1: I guess a lot of work put into this moment,
- 37:40Speaker 1: A lot of work.
- 37:41Speaker 3: Remember one thing today, You're not alone.
- 37:44Speaker 4: You've got Tim Dusrounnie that are gonna lay on the
- 37:46Speaker 4: line for you, you're the same for them.
- 37:47Speaker 3: Down day one.
- 37:49Speaker 1: You gotta have faith and Jack's faithful, have plenty of
- 37:53Speaker 1: it right now.
- 37:54Speaker 3: Another pot, it'll be great.
- 37:56Speaker 1: Reigning AFC South champs with a resounding Baker's does and
- 38:00Speaker 1: in the win column. And Cohen didn't need Baker to
- 38:08Speaker 1: guide the team to those dubs. It was Trevor Lawrence,
- 38:10Speaker 1: fire quarter back of the Ad who he had Roland Roland.
- 38:18Speaker 1: Roland comes off a career high twenty nine t ds fire.
- 38:24Speaker 3: But cry up, come up, don't you the dodger.
- 38:28Speaker 1: At the album and that does not appear to be
- 38:30Speaker 1: Lawrence's ceiling.
- 38:31Speaker 5: Like Fireflila put down dat cut camp back right now
- 38:36Speaker 5: twice sack.
- 38:37Speaker 3: Yard Hey, unbelievable. Okay, so big five Croup.
- 38:41Speaker 1: His twenty twenty five felt more like what they expected
- 38:43Speaker 1: him to look like by his year two. Call him
- 38:46Speaker 1: fashionably late. Firefort and their offense produced plus with very
- 38:56Speaker 1: little production from the guy they traded up to to
- 38:58Speaker 1: play Lawrence's new significant other. Jacksonville's mostly Travis hunterless offense
- 39:10Speaker 1: close to twenty eight points per game sixth best has
- 39:14Speaker 1: put the.
- 39:14Speaker 3: Ten Brooke at tackle the ad don't touch.
- 39:17Speaker 1: Out eleventh flosk yards per game, but.
- 39:20Speaker 3: They don't toutch out and Jack Billa retakeably top.
- 39:24Speaker 1: Ten in the red zone again. Could be even better
- 39:29Speaker 1: if they can improve on third down. This year Lawrence made.
- 39:32Speaker 3: The tackle, but he also threw the interception.
- 39:35Speaker 1: And maybe take fewer sacks they took forty one. A
- 39:38Speaker 1: year ago, left tackle Walker Little gave up a team
- 39:44Speaker 1: high eight and a half sacks, made fourteen starts, allowed
- 39:47Speaker 1: a real high pressure rate too. Ole Van Lannon, positioned
- 39:51Speaker 1: to unseat him, only allowed two and a half sacks,
- 39:54Speaker 1: made ten starts. But everybody they're re lying on made
- 39:57Speaker 1: starts for them in twenty twenty five. No who faces
- 40:00Speaker 1: expecting to crack the lineup.
- 40:02Speaker 3: Run the ball? Run you want to what the plus
- 40:05Speaker 3: it is? Do you want to?
- 40:07Speaker 1: Hunter got in seven games as a rookie close to
- 40:09Speaker 1: three hundred yards and a TD in that span. As
- 40:14Speaker 1: his forced tachdown, they expected him to be a game
- 40:18Speaker 1: changer on both sides of the ball. Of course, has
- 40:20Speaker 1: to heal up and find his place in a crowded
- 40:22Speaker 1: wide out room. They traded for Jacoby Meyer's mid year
- 40:26Speaker 1: played so well they gave him a contract extension eight
- 40:29Speaker 1: hundred plus yards between Vegas and the Jags. That's five
- 40:32Speaker 1: straight eight hundred plus yard campaigns.
- 40:35Speaker 3: A cutdown to pubbymer.
- 40:37Speaker 1: Maybe Obi Wan Jacoby can help mentor young Brian Thomas.
- 40:44Speaker 3: Cup down.
- 40:45Speaker 1: He's trying to rebound from the dreaded sophomore slump. He
- 40:48Speaker 1: was banged up. He missed three games. He finished with
- 40:51Speaker 1: a little over seven hundred yards twelve hundred plus yards
- 40:56Speaker 1: and ten tds as a rookie, So last year was disappointing.
- 41:00Speaker 1: Parts of trilogies usually come with redemption. Parker Washington, on
- 41:04Speaker 1: the other hand, would like to keep living it up.
- 41:07Speaker 1: By the Lutch Dow put up a career high eight
- 41:09Speaker 1: hundred and forty seven yards and five touchdowns in his
- 41:12Speaker 1: third year on the job, more than double this previous high.
- 41:15Speaker 4: Well, that ball is going to be caught by the
- 41:18Speaker 4: touchdown by Parker Waka.
- 41:21Speaker 1: He housed two punt returns too.
- 41:24Speaker 3: Anybody suck. He's gonna host this guy.
- 41:27Speaker 1: And they like their tight end. Brenton Strange, he missed
- 41:30Speaker 1: five games, still cobbled over five hundred yards together.
- 41:34Speaker 3: The blends a touchdown backing him up.
- 41:37Speaker 1: Nate Borkircher, who they drafted in the second round of
- 41:40Speaker 1: the draft.
- 41:41Speaker 4: Bor Kercher not super productive, only nineteen catches this last year.
- 41:44Speaker 4: He's twenty four years old, but he is a hand
- 41:47Speaker 4: in the grow wide tight end. He can block, and
- 41:49Speaker 4: he's gonna be able to help in the run game
- 41:51Speaker 4: as well as if a steady, dependable, reliable pass catcher.
- 41:54Speaker 3: Not really a mismatch type player.
- 41:56Speaker 1: So did Key change at running back as Travis h
- 42:00Speaker 1: and left Town off one thousand plus yard season.
- 42:02Speaker 3: You're gonna walk in the van.
- 42:04Speaker 1: Means more action for bacial touton to cheat you and
- 42:08Speaker 1: look at Bacial touting go five tds in his rookie
- 42:12Speaker 1: year coming off the bench and walk into the man
- 42:15Speaker 1: and Trev partially finishing fifth in MVP voting because he
- 42:19Speaker 1: also ran for a career high three hundred and fifty
- 42:22Speaker 1: plus yards matched Ferris Ditch marker punching in nine touchdowns.
- 42:27Speaker 3: King celled out clip clout on the play, are gonna
- 42:30Speaker 3: clim run out.
- 42:34Speaker 1: As surprised as some word to see Jacksonville's offensive night
- 42:38Speaker 1: as fast as it did under Cohen's command. The bigger
- 42:41Speaker 1: turnaround was that defense wes Borland like unbelievably underrated group
- 42:49Speaker 1: in twenty.
- 42:49Speaker 3: Twenty five, Love all of it that we're feeling right now.
- 42:53Speaker 1: I love it, Ralph talk about results varying.
- 42:56Speaker 6: Justin Herbert was ten of eighteen for eighty one yards
- 42:58Speaker 6: an interception.
- 42:59Speaker 1: This is easily the worst game of his career. They're
- 43:02Speaker 1: twenty twenty four defense left fans wanting to break stuff after.
- 43:05Speaker 3: Each game that's been pon. Then that the tone.
- 43:09Speaker 1: They were brutally bad at everything. They went from thirty
- 43:15Speaker 1: first and yards per game allowed twenty eighth and points
- 43:17Speaker 1: per game in twenty twenty four to eleventh and yards
- 43:20Speaker 1: per game allowed in twenty twenty five, holding teams to
- 43:29Speaker 1: nineteen points per game, eighth fewest.
- 43:32Speaker 3: The football is bigap are you gidding? I bring it up,
- 43:36Speaker 3: ott of that hold up, god on.
- 43:39Speaker 1: They came away with the second most takeaways, getting.
- 43:41Speaker 3: The balls out. Football is out. They knocked it out
- 43:44Speaker 3: of their product. Jump on top of it. That's the
- 43:47Speaker 3: John warf god dag damn it.
- 43:49Speaker 1: The second most iron tas.
- 43:51Speaker 5: Yes intercepted by Jacksonville at the eye in Indianapolis.
- 43:56Speaker 3: The Jacks picking it off.
- 43:57Speaker 1: In the ends, gave up the second highest ratingquarterbacks in
- 44:00Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, and then held him to a sub
- 44:03Speaker 1: eighty rate a year ago.
- 44:06Speaker 3: Knocked away the deck, winning it over.
- 44:09Speaker 1: Time, holding them to six point two yards per attempt.
- 44:11Speaker 1: Third lowest ridiculous turnaround fire thief down field picked up.
- 44:17Speaker 1: Cornerback Monteric Brown just keeps improving, knocked down a team
- 44:20Speaker 1: by twelve passes, two iron t's held his targets to
- 44:23Speaker 1: a sub seventy rate in his year four.
- 44:26Speaker 6: His passes nearly intercepted.
- 44:28Speaker 1: Wasn't yes it was thirty year cornerback Jerry and Jones
- 44:31Speaker 1: holding it down to a low sixties rate in his
- 44:33Speaker 1: sophomore campaign, hands on eight balls, three iron ts.
- 44:37Speaker 3: Well he picked off the ball is intercepted theod jack
- 44:41Speaker 3: pick it off. That story and jolt stepped that front hunter.
- 44:44Speaker 1: Their third young promising corner held quarterbacks to a low
- 44:48Speaker 1: eighties rate when he played not bad.
- 44:50Speaker 3: Well done playing the football. This guy's got tremendous instincts.
- 44:53Speaker 1: Bit cornerback Jordan Lewis eight passes defense, two picks, a
- 44:57Speaker 1: low nineties rate over twelve games.
- 44:59Speaker 3: And I picked off Jordan Louis picked it off.
- 45:01Speaker 1: They have youth at safety as well. Antonio Johnson fifty
- 45:05Speaker 1: eight tackles and his year three nine passes defensed, five
- 45:09Speaker 1: I INT's no tds allowed for a low thirties rate.
- 45:13Speaker 3: Todell Jodan with a big fix.
- 45:17Speaker 1: VET safety Eric Murray gave up a rating over one
- 45:19Speaker 1: hundred and his twelve contests. This will be his eleventh season.
- 45:23Speaker 1: They let fellow VET safety Andrew Winguard walk off an
- 45:27Speaker 1: eighty plus tackle seven ninety rate season.
- 45:30Speaker 3: Andrew with what I do, brother, Now, if their front.
- 45:32Speaker 1: Could work end together with their backside, they could really
- 45:35Speaker 1: do some damage. Only thirty two sacks in twenty twenty five,
- 45:38Speaker 1: only five teams with fewer. Their top pass rush threat,
- 45:43Speaker 1: Josh Heinz Allen met with a team high eight sacks.
- 45:49Speaker 1: That's back to back eight bad years.
- 45:51Speaker 4: I gotta hit him and that would be a safety
- 45:54Speaker 4: as seven plus in six of his seven years.
- 45:56Speaker 3: Got to get him plait a second.
- 46:00Speaker 1: Biggest de bet to play that ever, tos of Doll
- 46:03Speaker 1: teased everyone with that seventeen and a half sack effort
- 46:05Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three.
- 46:06Speaker 3: Got tie dout, got it.
- 46:08Speaker 1: He finished the year strong, though.
- 46:10Speaker 3: Josh has set the franchise career record for sacks. Congratulations
- 46:15Speaker 3: to Josh hide Allen.
- 46:18Speaker 1: His partner across the way can't say the same thing.
- 46:20Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker is like biting into a chocolate starfish and
- 46:24Speaker 1: washing it down with hot dog flavored water. Three and
- 46:29Speaker 1: a half sacks of a fourteen games.
- 46:31Speaker 3: Heah, no, you don't want to go for it. You
- 46:34Speaker 3: do not want to go for it.
- 46:35Speaker 1: He was banged up much of the year.
- 46:37Speaker 3: I lets that it's all for the hammer, so hoping better.
- 46:40Speaker 1: Health will lead to a rebound. He was a ten
- 46:42Speaker 1: plus sack guy the previous two seasons. That defensive tackle
- 46:46Speaker 1: Eric Armstead found his way to five and a half quarterbacks,
- 46:49Speaker 1: second most on the team.
- 46:51Speaker 3: Erk Armstead pulling him down by the feet.
- 46:53Speaker 1: Defensive tackle Davon Hamilton not much of a bag man
- 46:57Speaker 1: there to stop runners, which Jacksonville did. No team allowed
- 47:00Speaker 1: a fewer rushing yards per game, and they held runners
- 47:06Speaker 1: to the second lowest yards per carry average at three
- 47:09Speaker 1: to nine.
- 47:09Speaker 6: I got to the backfield and Quill.
- 47:14Speaker 1: Lost a second team All Pro linebacker and Devin Lloyd,
- 47:17Speaker 1: though had five I and t's in twenty twenty five, intercepted.
- 47:23Speaker 3: And were a massive momentson swing for the Johnsonville Jail yards.
- 47:27Speaker 3: On the very first he quits.
- 47:28Speaker 1: A play in the game, Lloyd didn't need to worry
- 47:30Speaker 1: about wrapping up every runner with Foyer by his side,
- 47:34Speaker 1: a Luakin with one hundred and forty plus tackles. That's
- 47:36Speaker 1: six straight seasons with triple digits and tackles. And he
- 47:40Speaker 1: knocked down a fat eleven passes.
- 47:43Speaker 3: They intercepted by boy Iola, pad.
- 47:45Speaker 1: And their kicker. Nothing little about Cam's leg power, That's
- 47:49Speaker 1: the unquestionable truth. He's like the Steph Curry of NFL
- 47:53Speaker 1: kicking romer seventy yard field goal in preseason followed by
- 48:00Speaker 1: an NFL record setting sixty eight yarder made in the
- 48:04Speaker 1: regular season, three and out from your own twenty Cam,
- 48:07Speaker 1: what do you think?
- 48:09Speaker 3: Sixty hey yard? How good of that?
- 48:13Speaker 1: All the expected starters for Jacksonville on both sides of
- 48:17Speaker 1: the ball in twenty twenty six, all dudes who suited
- 48:19Speaker 1: up for them in twenty twenty five. They lost a
- 48:22Speaker 1: few guys here and there, but are filling the voids
- 48:25Speaker 1: from within. Lost wind guard at safety, drafted Jalen Husky
- 48:29Speaker 1: in the third round to take his locker. At least
- 48:31Speaker 1: Hunter playing a full year kind of makes him a
- 48:34Speaker 1: new addition front seven. Lloyd no longer at linebacker. That
- 48:38Speaker 1: means Miller will step into more starts and drafted Albert
- 48:42Speaker 1: Regis in the third round to provide depth up front,
- 48:45Speaker 1: the offensive playmakers, Hunter joining Myers, Washington and Thomas in
- 48:50Speaker 1: the wide out room again, or Kircher the nubie at
- 48:52Speaker 1: tight end Twoton getting a shot at RB one status
- 48:55Speaker 1: with a chan gon Tee Law directing it all and
- 48:59Speaker 1: hoping to truly fill the prophecy that he can indeed
- 49:02Speaker 1: do what Anakin did in that galaxy far far away.
- 49:05Speaker 1: Jaggs getting a nine and a half over under designation
- 49:08Speaker 1: means their expectations for the year are still high. Eleven
- 49:13Speaker 1: and a half is as high as any team got,
- 49:15Speaker 1: so their mark is kind of like getting a bee
- 49:17Speaker 1: on a test and their middle of the pack and
- 49:19Speaker 1: strength of schedule if you look at it via their
- 49:22Speaker 1: opponents twenty twenty six projected win totals. So let's see
- 49:26Speaker 1: what their ceiling might be. A win over Cleveland beat
- 49:29Speaker 1: New England and Douvaal Cincinnati is on the road, But
- 49:32Speaker 1: since we're trying to be optimistic, why not take Houston
- 49:36Speaker 1: and Indianapolis beat Tennessee. The Giants sweep the Titans defeat
- 49:41Speaker 1: Chicago and Pittsburgh get Dallas, Washington and Indianapolis to finish
- 49:46Speaker 1: for another thirteen to win year. That would be quite
- 49:49Speaker 1: the feat and quite the season. Not sure they get
- 49:52Speaker 1: that many, but double digits seems realistic so long as
- 49:55Speaker 1: tee law really has arrived.
