• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Guy here with a look at what all four of
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: their teams did ahead of twenty twenty six. I am
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: not related to Alexa or Max Headroom or Pinocchio. I'm
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: a real boy who is super appreciative that the NFL
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: chooses to rely on humans to narrate things like NFL
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: game previews or NFL throwback videos or season preview material
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: like this. AFC North ravens new head coach preseason division
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: favorites with an eleven and a half over under mark.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Only other team to get that high of a bar
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the Rams. Bengals with Joe Burrow Jamar Higgins could give
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: them trouble if their d can just play at average levels.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Steelers get one more year of a Rod, hoping adding
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Michael Pittman makes their offense more dangerous, and Cleveland all
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: eyes on the quarterback battle. Will it be to Shaun
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: or Shadoor? Time for another new era in Cleveland football.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: The Kevin Stefanski Browns are no more. It's time to
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: see if Todd Munkin can get them going in the
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: right direction.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: They cut a check with my name on it. You
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: know what they expect a freaking kick ass football team.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: That's what they expect. You know what they want. They
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: want to become a winning franchise. But our fan base
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: in our region.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Is proud of Monkin's first order of business, figure out
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: who should run his offense.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Hotel.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: He could go with Primetime Junior.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: Got a touchdown rounds or with it a score.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: See if he can make him look the part of
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: a bona fide NFL quarterback.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Well, we get poll Buck pas it bear your.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Tick, pall Shador Sanders had some moments.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: The entertainment, a jog Town touchdow some not a ton though.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Seven tds against ten iron t's a sub seventy eight
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Sanders looking, So maybe it's Deshaun Watson didn't play at
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: all in twenty twenty five, but remember twenty two twenty.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: While most of us would like to forget it all together,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Watson threw for thirty three tds only seven iron t's
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: over three hundred yards per game.
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: Watts, He's gonna take a shot.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: A long time ago, though, right could decide. Dylan Gabriel
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: is the guy too. He has options, if nothing else
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: or any of them good enough to improve an offense,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: even Oscar the Grouch didn't want to live next door
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: to Last year on a board bro come on a
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: go second fewest points per game at sixteen per contest,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: a coming thirtieth in yards per game twenty ninth.
• 2:40
  Speaker 7: On third down, receiver felled out.
• 2:42
  Speaker 8: I just picked off of the far sideline.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: So no shock. They went heavy on offensive guys in
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the draft. Took wide receiver Casey Concepcion in the first.
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: You will see how dynamic an electric this guy is,
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: especially with the ball in his hands. He is someone
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: who had returnability and that shows up once he catches
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: the foot fall again, got to get better, more reliable
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: catching it. But once he does, you see this just
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: it's over. It is a boat race. That is a
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: speedboat with a bunch of canoes trying to catch up
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: to him. Here he is showing the ability to.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Flucking go added white out Denzel Boston in the second.
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: El Boston power forward. This is a nice compliment to
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: what they have in Casey Concepts. You own Casey concepts.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: Jon can work in the slot, can return kicks. Denzel
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: Boston is gonna play outside as a big, smooth, fluid
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: mover with a big catch radius.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: And with their first first rounder they took tackle Spencer Fan.
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: Now, he's got excellent intelligence and awareness. You can see
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: it in this play. He also has some nastiness to
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: be able to drive and finish. When you get outside
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: in the run game and then out in space you
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: want to throw screens, you want to pull him. He's
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: more than capable of doing that.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: They hope he and others can help give whoever's behind
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: center more time he's in trouble. Heavy sacked Cleveland quarterbacks
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: took fifty one sacks, face the highest pressure rate in
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the NFL.
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: Paul cuts loose.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Only Joel Botonio played all last year. They lost to
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Wan Jones after just three games. Right tackle Jack Conklin
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: allowed a fifteen percent pressure rate. That's not good.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Looking for the touchdown Gabriel.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Left tackle Cam Robinson twelve sacks allow Cambril kids dumped
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Fano Joins. Three other new faces in the trenches guard
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Zion Johnson with the Chargers last year red flag there.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: They also gave up a ton of sacks right tackle
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Titus Howard, former Texan. They did draft tackle Austin Barber
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: in the third round as well. Their lines play last
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: year made it hard for Quinn Shawn Judkins oh three
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: six a run, but he's building off a nice rookie year. Nonetheless,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Ah we the best rookie class.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Oh for sure, overally, Holy, overly for sure.
• 5:06
  Speaker 8: He shot down.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Over eight hundred yards and seventy d's quin shot.
• 5:17
  Speaker 8: Shut hit for forty six.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Yards to the house.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Dylan Sampson also showed some promise thirty three catches a
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: couple of receiving touchdowns in his year one.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Now he's the rider thirty five.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: It took foot right, He's gone.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Step Harold Finn and Junior ended up leading the team
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: in targets receptions with seventy two.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: Her career touchdown catch from Harold fannin.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Yards seven and thirty one and receiving touchdowns with six.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: He'll get even more looks this year with David and Joe,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: who departing scored four times on his way out.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Good shit touchdown.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Jerry Judy returns on the outside fifty catches over six
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: hundred yards, and Isaiah Bond only eighteen catches but a
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: hefty eighteen yards per catch for over three hundred yards
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: and his first go of it at the pro level.
• 6:18
  Speaker 8: It hit another home run ball, divy.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: If they can make up any kind of ground on
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: the offensive side, they make some noise because they feel
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: like their defense is playoff caliber.
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: Step So why he's blasted.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Despite its own offense working against it at times they
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: held teams to twenty two points per game.
• 6:36
  Speaker 9: Smit hit and he doesn't throw it. It's Devin Bush
• 6:40
  Speaker 9: who smothersome.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: The fourth fewest yards per game and we're seventh hardest
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: on third down.
• 6:47
  Speaker 10: Is actually like a sack. That's a fumball almost because
• 6:49
  Speaker 10: I don't think he was throwing it. He just gets hit.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Strength. Of course, the pass rush top five in sacks.
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: That was a party at the quarterback.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Quarterback hits and sack percentage.
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: Soy, and now he's sacked out at twenty five.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: They are no longer armed, of course, with Miles Garrett,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: who racked twenty three of their fifty three sacks.
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: He's going down at the ten, Miles Garrett.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Everybody, but they got a stud back in that blockbuster.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Jared Verse may have only dropped seven and a half quarterbacks,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: but he was a force in La.
• 7:21
  Speaker 10: Come on, hey, I mean right.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Well, twenty seven quarterback hits. He's a dude more than
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: capable of cracking double digits on the regular. He's only
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: entering his third year too.
• 7:34
  Speaker 8: You're not going hard that run. You're not going harder.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Than that boy.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I don't no Offensive end Isaiah McGuire made eight starts
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: a couple of sacks.
• 7:44
  Speaker 8: McGuire and Hall.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Defensive end Alex Wright fourteen games, five and a half
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: QB takedowns.
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: Alex Fright brings them down.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Defensive tackle Shelby Harris, their depth guy in the middle,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: filled in some from elite Collins, who racked six and
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: a half quarterbacks in just twelve games.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Rob breaks away.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: He's going down q samor skid row more youth gone wild.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Defensive tackle Mason Graham debuted with forty nine tackles, seven
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: for a loss, four passes knocked down us five FTEs
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: lit up behind him. The reigning defensive Rookie of the
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Year linebacker Carson Swassinger, kicking off his career with one
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty six tackles, two and a half sacks,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: and two picks.
• 8:24
  Speaker 10: You got.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Brother, he will have a new partner though. They let
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Devin Bush and his one hundred and twenty five tackles
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: leave for Chicago pick Devin Bushi. Devin Bush, linebacker Jerome
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Baker bounced as well, and so did linebacker Mohammed Diabodi.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Seventeen games, forty nine tackles. Swesssinger's new partner, former jack
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Quincy Williams for one hundred plus tackle years on his
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: seven year resume. The team games last year eighty three tackles,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: three and a half sacks.
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: Fourth set of Gabriel and it's Quincy Williams.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Their front held runners to four to two per attempt,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: which was top ten good. Both their safeties were in
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: on the action. Ronnie Hickman with over one hundred tackles
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: while holding quarterbacks to a nice low sixty three rating,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: two interceptions. Grant Delpit almost ninety tackles while holding his
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: targets to an eighty five rate.
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: Happy Happy Barday right now.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Dropped a second round pick on safety Emmanuel McNeil Warren.
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: This is stealing in my opinion. You talk about a
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: physical presence of someone who could go he has a
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: hammer in the middle of the field, and then he's
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: a turnover machine. We've seen this on a few guys today.
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: The ability to punch the football out forced fumbles throughout
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: his career, and he can take the ball away as well.
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: Look at his ability to range over the sideline here,
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: you want to play him in the deep path, he
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: can do some of that.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Both their primary corners come off good seasons. Denzel Ward
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: sub ninety eight nine passes defense complain the p Tyson
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Campbell played twelve games with the team after coming over
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: via trade. Twelve passes defensed, low eighties rate, looked good
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: in Orange corner. Miles Harden gave up a team high
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: five touchdowns in his year two a one ten plus rating.
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: Jared Gold checks him into the right play.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Cleveland held quarterbacks to a respectable nineties rate, only gave
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: up one hundred and sixty seven passing yards per game,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: third fewest.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: Devin Bunch, he's had the twenty and he's at the
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: twenty five rock round.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: I've never to hear good.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Andre Schmidtz creak yet another rookie last year made eighty
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: eight percent of his field goal tries twenty five for
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: twenty six on extra points. So they're running it back
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: with most of the secondary they rocked with last year.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Added the rookie in the draft said bye bye to
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: safety Jenkins, but Ward, Campbell, Harden, Delpit, and Hickman all
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: return and should walk out Day one Front seven the
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: big change verse for Garrett. By all accounts, it was
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: the right move to make for Cleveland at linebacker Quincy Williams,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: and for Bush. It's still a pretty stout looking group
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: with elite youth a key part of its makeup. The
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: offense is the same too, unless Watson takes over a
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: starting quarterback. That's the big question. Who will it be
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: and how well will they work under Monkin? Who's going
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: to be calling the offense. The O line is a
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: big X factor in all this. Fannin isn't really replacing
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: in Djokub, but he's the only semi key playmaker who
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: isn't returning. If you go buy their opponents expected win
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: totals in twenty twenty six, they have the fourth easiest
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: slate in the NFL. Now, their own over under is
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: just six point five, so it still projects as an
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: uphill climb. But let's apply the idea that they could
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: come away with wins against all the teams at seven
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: point five over unders or less. That gives them victories
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: over Carolina, the Jets, Tennessee New Orleans, Vegas, Atlanta, the
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Giants and the Colts throw in a win versus Pittsburgh
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: for good measure, and you have a nine win ceiling.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: That's a tough sell with their quarterback stitch being what
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: it is even for a dufus in a bag. The
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: game preview guy guess is fewer than seven wins. I
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: feel like a six pack is on its way, or
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: maybe the six pack I put down is fuzzied. What
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: little football sense I have.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: Terrebral towels are out and a sold out crowd at
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Actor Sure Stadium is ready.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: It was a time when the Pittsburgh dads of the
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: world had hope they could land Brittany available again.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Hands up, Hands up.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: The Pittsburgh debs were doing their workouts on Nintendo. Whee's
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: first ever tweet went out. Maybe it announced the hiring
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: of Mike Tomlin. Twenty years later they call it X
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: and it announced his departure. A Native Yinzer taking the
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: reins as we begin a very very new chapter in
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: the AFC North.
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: What Bob happened?
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: It was two thousand and six, You don't have to
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: look it up. And yes, saying Native Yinzer was redundant
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: like ATM Machine and theory regardless, Mike McCarthy steps in
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: for Mike Tomlin, hoping to rekindle a little cheesehead magic.
• 13:39
  Speaker 8: Hey got a great quarterback.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers came away from his off season Magical Mystery
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Tour with visions of playing a twenty second year.
• 13:47
  Speaker 8: What a grab by Connor Haywark.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Rogers impact on Pittsburgh's passing attack wasn't monumental. Two hundred
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: and seven yards.
• 13:58
  Speaker 8: Per game touchdown John u Spi.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Twenty one tds a mid nineties rate.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: Fire is it for the score.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: They were middle of the pack on third down, twenty
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: fifth in yards per game.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Rodgers has time climbing the pocket. Here, cuts Khalil Neck
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: in the end zone, he drops up.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Those are the key areas they can fare better at
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: this year.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: With the ball, we know what kind of game is
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: going to be. We got score points, a lot of them.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: They didn't turn the ball over much.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: Throws slammed right, touchdown Pittsburgh Steelers.
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: It's dk metcap.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: We're solid in the red zone for a twenty three
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: point per game Average's former touchdown Pittsburgh Steeler points per
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: game average. Rogers also was pretty decisive. He was quick
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: draw McGraw after the snap.
• 14:43
  Speaker 8: Here's a pass out to the left Flatford game Well gets.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: To the edge.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: That minimized the number of backwards plays they were top
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: ten and sacks taken.
• 14:52
  Speaker 8: Wow, and he somehow caught it.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: The quick release approach made it harder to rack up
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: chunk plays. DK Metcalf finished with a career low eight
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards.
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: Boots it out for Metcalf, elevates and makes.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: The catch that still led the team.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: There's a casualty on full display.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: And it means he's been good for eight to fifty
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: plus all seven years in the NFL. Only one other
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: receiver with more than one hundred and seventy yards, which
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: is why nabbing Michael Pittman is such a big deal.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Pittman led the Colts in receptions with eighty and receiving
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: touchdowns with seven over seven hundred and fifty yards.
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: He's in he stretched the ball across the goal line.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: They also picked up Jeremy Bernard in the second round
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: of the draft.
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: He's instinctive and incredibly smart. When you talk to the
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: folks at Alabama and you talk to Ty Simpsons. I
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: had a chance to. He raved about the intelligence Jeremy Rnard,
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: all the different things they can do with him, and
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: the toughness that he brings. You see it as a blocker,
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: and you see it in his ability to win the
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: middle of the field. He's a real crisp route runner,
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: and when he gets the ball in his hands, he
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: looks like a running back. He's built powerfully that way.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Making room for him in the locker room. Calvin Austen,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: who departed Pittsburgh off a three hundred and seventy plus
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: yard year.
• 16:14
  Speaker 8: Touchdown Pittsburgh Steelers. It's Calvin Austin in the end zone.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Moves check this out. Five hundred plus yards year one,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: then seven hundred plus, three hundred plus, then six hundred
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: plus last year, four hundred plus fires down, touchdown. So
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: a monster year of eight hundred plus coming or bust city, right,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I don't make up the Origami rules.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: Towards the end zone touchdown, he finds Pat fryar.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Mooon fellow tight end Darnel Washington aka Mountain on legs.
• 16:52
  Speaker 8: Oh, he's shut down a man, and then flowers.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: His shoulder, grumbling down the left.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Sideline career high three hundred and sixty four yards. He
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: could probably start at left tackle on a lot of teams.
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: And fine Darnell Watchingston.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Who will they trot out as they're starting five on
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: that O line. Week one, though, Steelers drafted tackle Max
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Ecanachor with their first round pick.
• 17:14
  Speaker 11: Basketball player all the way through high school, did not
• 17:17
  Speaker 11: play any football doll until he got a junior college.
• 17:19
  Speaker 11: But one year of junior college, remember he and his
• 17:21
  Speaker 11: family game here when he was thirteen years old from Nigeria.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Then they took guard Jennings Dunker in the third. They
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: let guard Isaac Sayamalu walk still have left tackle Broderick Jones,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: who was blamed for eight sacks and is recovering from
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: a neck injury and saw the team decline. Picking up
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: his fifth year option guard Mason McCormick gave up six
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: and a half sacks. So they could go a number
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: of directions with this group. At running back, Jalen warren
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: O touchdown steel career high in rush yards in twenty
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: twenty five, and he.
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: Is in for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Touchdown nine hundred and fifty eight and a half dozen
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: tdss into the.
• 18:02
  Speaker 8: End zone with the Pittsburgh Steelers touchdown.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Four to three plus yards per carry all four years
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: in the Bigs.
• 18:09
  Speaker 8: Straight up the middle of the into the end zone.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Won't be sharing time with Kenneth Gainwell again. Four hundred
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: and eighty plus receiving yards, three tds, five hundred and
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: thirty plus rush yards five scores hitting at four to
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: seven per pop.
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: Took pig Hole into the end zone. Touchdown Pittsburgh Steelers
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: in his place? Ankle mccringleberry. What first off that gave
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: Rico Dowdell game preview guy goat status?
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: Steal keep pele can't peel sketched.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Second, that ref clearly doesn't know the.
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: Rules and they're gonna get a personal foul.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Dowdell went for one thousand yards on the ground for
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Carolina last year, back to back thousand plus yard seasons.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Half doesn't paint jobs In twenty twenty five on four
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: to six, a run.
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: Gets out of the field for this crucial moment and
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: punches it all. But Pittsburgh.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: His offense has ground to make up, and so does
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: its defense.
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: Our father arn heavans.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Fourth quarter stops be thy name twenty sixth the yards
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: per game allowed by Hicks.
• 19:12
  Speaker 10: He's at the pit boot tap five.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Touchdown, twenty fifth on third down.
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: Daln nailers perse touchdown.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: This year they held teams to twenty two a game
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: that's solid.
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: Coming campward with the sack.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, fourth most takeaways to keep things in check.
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: His most hand, but it's pick up, but it's recovered
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: by his deelers.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Their pass rush didn't produce a super high pressure rate,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: but forty eight sacks was good for sixth most Jalen
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Ryans coming in and they still have a loaded front
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: that's recover Tja TJ Watt should still be a problem.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Sack total not as high as expected. Seven and fourteen games.
• 19:57
  Speaker 12: The wat FA.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Old Tom Sat.
• 20:00
  Speaker 10: I mean, if he's gonna pass my record, that's one.
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: Hell of a way to do it.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: But three forced fumbles, two I iNTS, splash plays a plenty,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: it's kind of his thing.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Ooh, did justin fields get walloped?
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh will test tackles like few others and it's non stop.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: They have three top shelf types out there.
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: Alex Heismith comes up with his sack.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Alex Highsmith comes off a career high nine and a
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: half bag shopping spree. And the guy who gives them
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: a rest, Nick Herbig, who sealed the deal seven and
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: a half times, which, oh, and it doesn't stop in
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: the middle. Defensive tackle Derek Harmon, looking to build off
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: a good rookie year three QB takedowns in twelve games.
• 20:41
  Speaker 10: At maya sacked back of the forty one yard line.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Kean Ubenten with five and a half sacks from the
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: center of the storm, career high in year number three.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: And the old man Cam Hayward three and a half
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: sacks along with over seventy five tackles.
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: I bet let that go.
• 21:00
  Speaker 10: Let that go. You can't run over here.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: That was year fifteen. That's ridiculous.
• 21:03
  Speaker 8: Don't wait, go ahead, fast head and look at go.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Their secondary, though, needs to do a better job of
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: feeding off heat. They gave up a rating of ninety two.
• 21:12
  Speaker 10: Pace going to the ground makes the catch.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Only three teams allowed more passing yards per game.
• 21:18
  Speaker 10: It is.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: There wasn't much special about how they played the pass.
• 21:24
  Speaker 8: Got us bad cutting up to the five to the.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Ends out Jalen Ramsey hoping to rebound after giving up
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: eight touchdowns and a rate in the one twenties. It's
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: they'd be happy with more of the same from several
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: other guys, though, Corner Joey Porter Junior held it down
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: to a low sixties rate knock down fourteen passes, and
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: that was just a year three junior. Third starting cornerback
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: will be new. James Pierre isn't coming back. Had a
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: career high eleven passes defense to a low fifties rate
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: ahead of his seventh year.
• 21:59
  Speaker 8: It's picked up by yeah, racing down the left side line.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: His departure might have stung a little bit, but they
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: picked up Jamel Dean and he posted the lowest rate
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: of any cornerback while playing in Tampa Bay last year.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Corner Brandon Eckles a low eighties rate and a couple
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: of picks. Suck safety game no more. Chuck Clark gave
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: up a rating over one forty, so no harm, no foul,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: and no Kyle Dugger, though he held quarterbacks to a
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: respectable ninety right two interceptions.
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: It's Gucker Gucker to the forty yard.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Line, taking his spot. Safety Jakwan Brisker ninety three tackles
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: in Chicago, but also gave up a team high seven touchdown.
• 22:41
  Speaker 8: What's in Whisker, It's Stafford got.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: It go safety to Sean Elliott hopes to play more passes,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: only got in five games.
• 22:49
  Speaker 8: The middle of the field knocked away.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh also needs to get stingier against the run, allowed
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: four to three a try. Not that they don't like
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: their line back, though. Peyton Wilson got more snaps in
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: his second year. Racked one hundred and twenty six ball
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: carriers was loose?
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Is this a fumble? Oh?
• 23:08
  Speaker 8: My goodness?
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: And Patrick Queen was who they thought he was? One
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty tackles. He's been a ninety eight plus
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: tackle dude all six years in the NFL.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: HI by Patrick quid untouchdeat nails?
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: What the last of the Killer Bees still booting it?
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Chris Boswell good on eighty four percent of his tries
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: in the regular season, almost a lock on extra points.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Good thumbnail recap. Then front seven looks the same. They
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: did add defensive end Sebastian Joseph Day who was with
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Tennessee last year. But it's Harmon Benton, Hayward, Watt, Queen
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: and Wilson as the starting seven. Secondary will utilize two
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: new starters Brisker for Dugger at safety, Dean for Pierre
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: at the one corner spot, order Elliott and Ramsey all
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: returning to fill out their starting five. So to speak.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: On offense, Rogers is going to have three new playmakers
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: to work with Pittman and Bernard joining DK in the
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: wide out room. That should upgrade their passing attack by
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: a considerable margin. Dowdell takes gainwell spot in the backfield,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: sharing carries with warren Mouth and Washington back at tight end.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Even without Tomlin, the prognosticators have Pittsburgh as a team
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: capable of finishing over five hundred. They're over under sits
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: at eight and a half. Their opponents win total projections
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: for twenty twenty six has them in the middle of
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: the pack when it comes to their strength as schedule.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: How many games above five hundred could they finish? If
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Rogers goes out bon Jovi's style in a blaze of glory,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: start with a win over Atlanta, beat Cincinnati at home, Cleveland, Indianapolis,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, defeat the Saints, sweep the Browns. That post
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: by run is going to be tough, though, at Cincinnati,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: at Philadelphia, Denver, Houston, and then at Jacksonville, followed by
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: a home game versus Baltimore. But give them that win
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: plus Carolina and Tennessee, which would buy them ten dubs.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Nine of their games are against teams who are expecting
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: to be strong. Game preview Guy respect for Tomlin dictates
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: they fall below five hundred in their first year without him.
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: Oh, we got it all.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: We need what la?
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Remember when Mimes was explaining why he was hot and
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: you were not.
• 25:26
  Speaker 10: Everything what to do?
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Remember when we lost Anna Nicole. Remember when Brittany lost
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: her hair? When the Sopranos abruptly cut to black, that's
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: the world we were living in the last time the
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Ravens started a season with someone other than John Harbaugh
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: as their head coach. But plenty of reasons for the
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: flock to keep on believing.
• 25:46
  Speaker 8: As it were, They've gotta go, they gotta go.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Hey, they gonna go. It's time to launch the Jesse
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Mintor era in Baltimore. Young dude, former Chargers DC had
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: their defense rocking.
• 26:00
  Speaker 12: Plan on calling the defense great question.
• 26:02
  Speaker 11: Uh.
• 26:02
  Speaker 12: I think that's a strength of mine. I think that's
• 26:04
  Speaker 12: one of the reasons I'm sitting here. But I also
• 26:06
  Speaker 12: think it's it's my leadership qualities, and I really look forward.
• 26:10
  Speaker 12: I have a really good process. I feel to do
• 26:12
  Speaker 12: what I need to do to be ready to call
• 26:14
  Speaker 12: the game, but also have the ability to be the
• 26:16
  Speaker 12: head coach.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: He plucked Declan Doyle away from Chicago to run the offense.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: He was Ben Johnson's o C. You know the questions
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: in those situations, was he really calling the offense.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Reels up Hey Rose and as.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: But we've seen it work plenty of other times with
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: other Cats, and he's not taking over your standard O.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: Face touchdown Mark Andrew.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: He's working with a one two punch like no other
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: in the Nflyandy Lamar Jackson is still a defender's nightmare.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Teen games last year he posted a one oh three rating.
• 27:03
  Speaker 8: Second of ten.
• 27:03
  Speaker 9: They're gonna throw it again for Hopkins, and Andre Hopkins.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Has got it and led the NFL in yards per
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: completion to the d He's got.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: A bad He's got up DeAndre Hopkins his first catch
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: as a Raven.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Now that six and seven record, the first sub five
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: hundred record of his career.
• 27:24
  Speaker 10: YEP has intercepted him. Adrias Knight running it.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Back, didn't average a ton of yards passing per game.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: Throws up in the middle, completes or Mark Andrews the
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: hell you are going and.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: His three hundred and forty nine rush yards.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: In touchdown Lamar Jackson.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: The first time he's finished under six ninety five for
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: a season, which only emphasizes how ridiculous he can be
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: when everything is right with him.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: First left side is in touchdown, LaVar.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Doyle also has the king to play with the twenty
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: the cake of the tap, and he didn't get that
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: title from exploiting the workers, as Dennis might argue.
• 28:05
  Speaker 10: Outstanding blocking to get Dereck Henry into the ends.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Derrick Henry one thousand plus yards seven of his last
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: eight years to fifteen hundred plus five of his last seven.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: And we've waited about the heir lebar.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Ten plus tds, eight straight, sixteen paint jobs, fifteen hundred
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: and ninety five yards.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: Touch down Derrick Henry.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: On five to two carry in twenty twenty five.
• 28:37
  Speaker 8: Dude, touchdown right, and.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: At times it still felt like he wasn't being used enough.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: No autonomous collectives around here, and even with Lamar's injuries,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: we're talking about an offense that basically averaged twenty five
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: a game. Still Doyle company are looking for levels closer
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: to twenty eight a game Flower's work.
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: He gets reader, runs endos on man.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: And he doubles has to clean up the red zone
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: play where they finished twenty seventh. That's glaring with Lamar
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: and Henry at your disposal, Darren. They were middle of
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: the pack in yards per game.
• 29:18
  Speaker 8: For the football right side and it's going.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: To be and they gave the ball away way too often.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Also would like to cut back on sacks taken, which
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: comes with the territory with Jackson.
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: Jackson looking stepping up. Now he's going to get hit.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: But the forty five they took last year also led
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: to many of those turnovers down out, They're going to
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: be sporting a brand new interior drafted Benga Yuana with
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: their first round pick, Tyler.
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: Lenderbaum's gone. He's now a raider, so they replace him
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: with a guard who can do a lot of the
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: things lender Bomb does. It's a bigger, more powerful version,
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: providing me at brandis sure when he was coming out
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: of college, just big and powerful. He is a tone center.
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: If you want to watch guys get thrown to the ground,
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: you're gonna enjoy watching his tape. He does not stop
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: and once he gets his hands on you, it's not gonna
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: end well.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: They brought guard John Simpson back. He played for Baltimore
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three before spending the last two years
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: with the Jets. Those two replace Daniel Failele, who gave
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: up five sacks, and Andrew Vorhees. They also have a
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: new snapper after Pro Bowl center Tyler Linderbaum bounced to Vegas.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Ravens have their wr one and Za Flowers.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: He's got a man them.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Touchdown comes off a career year eight hundred and fifty
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: plus yards as a rook then one thy fifty nine.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: He's got him, say Flowers, watch down right then.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: And then over twelve hundred last year, eighty six catches.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: They just spent too many games with him being a
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: one man show.
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: Why don't say Blowers of at thirty Flowers in the
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: twenty ten five touch down.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Rashad Bateman a guy whom many predict will bounce back
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: with the new approach. Bateman landed a big contract after
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four season that saw him go for
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty plus yards in ninety d's two
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty four and two last year.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: And they lost his golf Jackson.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: They let DeAndre Hopkins look for a job elsewhere. He
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: chipped in three hundred and thirty yards, turned around and
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: drafted Jakobe Lane in the third round.
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: This is a basketball player on grass. When you watch
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: Dakobe Lane, if you want to talk about wow catches
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: the best highlight reel, you could make a strong case
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: that he has it in this draft class with unbelievable
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: one hand wow catches. How about this one just cupping
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: the ball with his left hand, And it was all
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: throughout his career at USC.
• 31:44
  Speaker 10: You just keep watching it.
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: You saw incredible plays where he'll go up, climb the ladder.
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: He takes big shots.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Isaiah likely also not a Raven anymore likely with just
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: over three hundred yards Sunday Fun Day, Mark Andrews is
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: back just over four hundred yards.
• 32:01
  Speaker 7: Caught Andrew's in touchdown Ravens.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Did at least score five times touch down.
• 32:08
  Speaker 10: Fuck.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: None of this insinuates mentor himself doesn't have plenty of
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: work to do with their defense either. Giving up twenty
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: three a game and being twenty fourth in yards per
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: game touchdown isn't really the Baltimore way.
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: Holding left side dumps it protect What the fuck?
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: Touchdown?
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Might need to play some more Black Street in their
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: locker room ahead a kickoff. This year just thirty sacks
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: only a few teams with fewer only three had a
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: lower pressure rate. Fuck, no diggity, you gotta bag it
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: up more often than that.
• 32:42
  Speaker 10: Anyway, He's got it.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: So say hello to mad Max. No, wait, say hello
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: to Trey Hendrickson only seven games last year, thirteen and
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: a half sacks four of the previous five seasons with
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: the Bengals.
• 32:55
  Speaker 10: And he gets hit by Trey hendricks.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Despite getting little help from their front Baltimore Secondary isn't
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: coming off a bad campaign. They held quarterbacks to a
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: sub ninety rate.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: Quick accepted Marlon Humphrey.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Not to say they don't have issues to correct either.
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: It's a nice baked by May to get onto the
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: boot and Hunter Henry's wide open.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: They gave up gobs of passing yards.
• 33:17
  Speaker 10: Plans it down the middle of the field, Ufree bush.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: And while it's reflective of volume.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: He has it, he falls across the sideline.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: It also shows teams weren't afraid to throw on them.
• 33:28
  Speaker 8: What a fire in the middle.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: He's got whats in ten of the fire to.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: The ends up they weren't especially stingy against the pass
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: and several key metrics either.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: All right, huge gain.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: All this talk about no air yard completions by Rogers
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: in the last month, they come right out with a
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: bomb down the right sideline.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: But look at the dudes they have back there. Vet
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: corner Marlin Humphrey knocked down thirteen passes, picked off four
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: sub eighty right.
• 33:53
  Speaker 10: And it's intercepted by Humphrey.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Young cornerback Nate Wiggins three I in T's fourteen passes
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: to fense a low eighties rate looks every bit the
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: part of the CB.
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: One interception lad wigans with a pick.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton heads into his year five off of first
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: team All Pro season, made his third Pro Bowl in
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: a row one hundred plus tackles back to back years.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: Think that Amilton makes his presence, got right away.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Keep rocking the skid row. More youth gone wild. Safety
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Malachi Starks kicked off his pro career with over eighty tackles,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: a sub eighty rate, and two picks.
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: I'll thought that Mabi Bouse water boy all up the
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: odd of him.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: He had. Vet safety Alohi Gilman next to him won't
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: this season. Nine passes knocked down, ninety raps, Hello Bill
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: pick up the added safety Jalen Hawkins comes off a
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: career year, held his targets to a fifty five rating,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: and picked off four passes for the Patriots.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: Instead of diving next in.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Interception, Ravens kept ballcarriers to four to two per attempt.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Not amazing but top ten good.
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: At least ball comes down right and recover.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: The guy that can tilt things drastically both against the
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: run and the pass. Nom de Madubique.
• 35:06
  Speaker 8: Steps up and he sucked.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: Josh Allen sacked for the first time tonight.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: They lost him after two games last year, and they
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: felt it he was a back to back pro bowler
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: the two previous years. Had neck surgery, so it's unclear
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: when he returns, so a little insurance in Kaleis Campbell
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: six and a half sacks as an eighteenth year guy
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: last year.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: He's sacked. That's Elias Camba.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: He'll be next to defensive tackle Travis Jones, who racked
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: five quarterbacks from the inside, a career high in sacks
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: and tackles.
• 35:36
  Speaker 8: He is sucked back of the five yard line.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: DT Broderick Washington, another dude who lost twenty twenty five
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: to injury, only played three games. Outside linebacker Tavius Robinson
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: only played ten games, four and a half QB takedowns
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: in that window, career high in sacks in his third year.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: Pocket collapse at black of a hideous sack back up Blue.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Baltimore needs its outside linebacker to make it home more
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: often this year, though Mike Green did so three and
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: a half times as a rookie, most of his snaps
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: coming off the bench.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: Mike Dream with his first NFL sack and it could
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: not have a better time.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: No more Kyle than noy though he only picked up
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: two sacks after going for twelve and a half bags
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four.
• 36:19
  Speaker 8: What's the throw pocket collapsing?
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: He is sucked back of the thirty two yard lot.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: And they didn't keep Draymont Jones either. They added him
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: via trade last year.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: Hold down, but behind Draymond Jones with the suck.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Drafted Zion Young in the second round, so he should
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: get plenty of chances to show out.
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: Zion Young. He's gonna knock you back, especially when you
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: can give him a little bit of a runway. He
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: can get a little bit of a runway to get
• 36:42
  Speaker 6: built up and going. He can really knock you back
• 36:45
  Speaker 6: into the quarterback. Here's the power through the contact to
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: get your hands on him, and he's able to work
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: through it and tight ends. Again, you're not gonna lock him.
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: Just forget it. You better bring somebody else to help him,
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: because he destroys tight ends on a consistent basis.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Rope one is waiting at the second level as usual
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Smith of Pro Bowler four straight years, one hundred plus
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: tackle guy, seven of eight years.
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: Guy.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: He was joined by rookie linebacker Teddy Buchanan, who kicked
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: things off with ninety three tackles in fourteen games. The
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Rabbit sack stafford on fourth a kuse five on the defense,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: and they still have Trenton Simpson two and a half sacks,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: sixty six tackles in his third season on the job.
• 37:27
  Speaker 9: He'll lose a yard back to the nineteen yard line,
• 37:31
  Speaker 9: so that should be the first sack of the game
• 37:33
  Speaker 9: for the Rave.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: And finally, hopefully Tyler didn't put that last kick on
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: a loop. The rookie had a fine first year otherwise,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: thirty for thirty four on field goal attempts forty four
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: for forty six on extra points, So this is what
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: it all looks like. They're front seven, adding Kalais and
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Hendrickson and the rookie young losing Jones and van Noyt.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Nomdi probably misses some time before making it back. One
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: key change to their secondary Hawkins slides in for Gilman.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: They have Chadobi a Woozia at corner two, so Hamilton
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: could simply slide back to safety. He plays everywhere anyway,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: so they have flexibility, and their playmakers on offense are
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: pretty much the same as twenty twenty five. Devontes Walker
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: could see more snaps at wide out lane, the rookie
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: joining the crowd. Lamar King, Flowers and Andrews still at
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: the core of how they do their thing. Only the
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Rams and Ravens have over unders of eleven and a
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: half this year, so the expectation meter is as high
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: as it always is for Lamar, and they have the
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: sixth easiest schedule when you rank teams by their opponents
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six win total expectations. That means they have
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: as high as ceiling as you're gonna find, because right
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: now anyway, they'd be favored against every team they have
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: on their slate. It's unrealistic to say they'd go seventeen
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: to know, so let's give him a loss to Buffalo
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: on the road. The Bills the only ten and a
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: half team they even face, and Mark and Ell in
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: their road game versus Houston. I know, a fifteen wins
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: ceiling seems crazy after last year, but they have one
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: of the best rosters in the game. I wouldn't bank
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: on fifteen myself, but they are set up to grab twelve.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Plus a new voice on the sideline might be what
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: they needed. Jackson and Henry have to be as hungry
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: as they can be, maybe even desperate.
• 39:19
  Speaker 8: Know what to do, you know how to do it?
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: Expect greatness, Expect greatness, greatness all three one, two.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: Three, Cincinnati Bengals six and eleven and twenty twenty five.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: It's what happens when you don't get a full cup
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: of Joe, so to speak.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: Hey, we got to remind everybody who we aret of it.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: So if they can get one of those broke girls
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: to top it off for twenty twenty six and their
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: new additions on defense pan out, they should be cooking
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: with gas again.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: Take the way, put out the way.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: It's not rocket science or the kind Walter and Jesse
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: performed in their RV. Give the Bengals a full year
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: of Joe, Shisty, Jamar and Higgs compaired with anything that
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: remotely resembles a defense, and they're a threat. Things just
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: crazy jets being their O face looks pretty much the
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: same as it did in twenty twenty five. Let's start
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: with the big question mark their defense. Any true Bengals
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: fan knows it will dictate how far they go. In
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, got a man touchdown. The big move
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: trading the tenth pick in the draft for DT Dexter
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Lawrence for.
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: Them to you know, you know, bring me in the
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: way they did and you know give up.
• 40:38
  Speaker 11: What they did is I owe it to them to
• 40:40
  Speaker 11: go out there and you know, dominate on that field.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: The d law trade sparked lots of debate. Here are
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: the two ways to look at it. He's a dude
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: that was a pro bowler from twenty twenty two to
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, second team or two of those years.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: Nine sacks in twenty twenty four, seven and a half
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. Can be a beast in the trenches.
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: Nexi Dexi, the leader of that defensive front.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: You'll get a special meal from.
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: His wife, Donna, who's.
• 41:06
  Speaker 12: A chef executive secutive chef, executive chef.
• 41:10
  Speaker 10: He's oldest.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: And then there was his twenty twenty five half a
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: sack in seventeen starts and was the man in the
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: middle of the rush defense that gave up five point
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: three yards per carry, worst in the league.
• 41:23
  Speaker 6: He wanted an upgrade on his contract, which owed him
• 41:26
  Speaker 6: twenty million dollars this season, despite the fact that he's
• 41:28
  Speaker 6: coming off statistically his worst year in the NFL.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: Take to the comments section with your takes on the matter.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: Lawrence isn't the only new face added to their front.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: They also added Vett defensive tackle Jonathan Allen, who made
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: close to seventy tackles as a Viking last year. Three
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: and a half backs.
• 41:45
  Speaker 9: That goes hurts again, he steps up, heave, avoids a.
• 41:48
  Speaker 8: Hit, and then he kept head again.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: And they snagged boy a laffe to come off the edge.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: Only two trips home last year for Seattle, but had
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: nine in twenty twenty.
• 41:57
  Speaker 7: Three walk down.
• 42:00
  Speaker 10: By Maffey.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: Plus they used their second round pick on Cassius Howell,
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: also expected to help heat up the quarterback time fastball.
• 42:09
  Speaker 6: This is one of the elite get off to look
• 42:10
  Speaker 6: about David Bailey having the best get off of anybody
• 42:12
  Speaker 6: in this draft. This might be number two right here,
• 42:14
  Speaker 6: looking at this ability to win early and get underneath
• 42:17
  Speaker 6: this year edge blockers, that's that same move, that little
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: dip and rip, and guys don't even get a hand.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: On a couple of other new faces we'll get to
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: in a second, but there isn't a new face guiding
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: it all. Al Golden is back as DC, and he
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: was the guy in charge of their defense last year.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: Cutsdown has to fix all three facets of their defense.
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: Touchdown Denver twenty eight.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: Points per game allowed in twenty twenty five.
• 42:48
  Speaker 8: Under the metal part it is Josha.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: Only two gave up more. Only one team giving up
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: more yards per game.
• 42:55
  Speaker 8: Touchdown John u Spit not.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: Good on third down or in the red zone into the.
• 43:00
  Speaker 7: Ten till five yard line into the end float.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: Need to play the pass better ninety nine rating allowed
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: twenty sixth.
• 43:08
  Speaker 8: Slows towards the end zone. Touchdown he fines pat.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: Fire twelve yards per catch allowed. To the end zone,
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: totty sudden and twenty ninth in yards per attempt allowed
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: would help to bother the quarterback some a touchdown, twenty
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: second in sacks and pressure rate, gets.
• 43:34
  Speaker 9: Hit, gets the pass away left side into the end
• 43:36
  Speaker 9: zone and it is caught for a touchdown by Drey mcdriye.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: And how about we slow some runners down a bit, fellas.
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: Right to the en zone.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: Five point two yards per carry allowed second most next to.
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: The five next to the goal line touchdown denver.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: And most yards per game allowed at one.
• 43:55
  Speaker 7: Thanks somebody I missed inside the plot.
• 43:57
  Speaker 8: Get to the pilot.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: They had two one hundred plus tackle linebackers too, Just
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: need to make those tackles sooner. Demetrius Knight with one
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: oh six three sacks, two picks and a forced fumble,
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: not bad for a rookie.
• 44:11
  Speaker 10: Ye have intercepted tom Adrias Knight running it back.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: His rookie partner Barrett Carter, with the same one hundred
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: and six tackle total kicked off the ball, throws a.
• 44:21
  Speaker 7: Pass to thirty down picks.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Barrett Carter wenebacker Orrin Burks seventeen games, nine starts, forty
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: eight tackles. They brought back most of the starters from
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: their front two. TJ Slayton fifty two tackles three sacks.
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: He's in trouble. Sanders breaks away and he is nailed.
• 44:40
  Speaker 8: TJ.
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: Slayton was the first one there.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: That BJ Hill sixty six tackles four sacks.
• 44:46
  Speaker 10: Here comes Miles Murphy. He couldn't get them, but BJ
• 44:49
  Speaker 10: Hill goes and they're hoping.
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: Shamar Stewart steps up and plays at a first round level.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: Eight games eleven tackles one sack in his rookie year.
• 44:58
  Speaker 10: He'll be sacked. Schamar's Stewart the.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: Metas Miles Murphy ended up seeing more action than expected.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: Third year guy finished with five and a half QB takedowns.
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: Messy Pot did escaping again.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: Chase by Loy put down, but they won't have the
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: services of Trey Hendrickson left off a seven game four
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: sax season.
• 45:17
  Speaker 10: And he gets hit by Trey hendricks Hit.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: No more Joseph Asai either, he gave him five bags.
• 45:24
  Speaker 10: Pot hit hid down.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: The new faces that will roam the secondary. Kyle Duggar
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: comes over from Pittsburgh to interceptions.
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: You've got the.
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: Left sideline picks Jaspas Ted waltzes into the end zone.
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: They hope safety Brian Cook can help. We'll have to
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: play the pass better than he did. For KC gave
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: up a rating close to one twenty. At least he
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: came up with eighty five tackles, knocked down six passes.
• 45:51
  Speaker 7: And let's say complais chop breaking it up by Cook.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: They cut ties with safety Gino Stone, who gave up
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: a one oh five rate but two picks and over
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: a hundred tackles.
• 46:01
  Speaker 10: Ten five touchdownn Jeno Stone.
• 46:05
  Speaker 6: And no more.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: Cam Taylor Britt at corner had a rough twenty twenty
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: five when we played in eight games. Returning cornerback Dax
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: Hill held his targets to a sub ninety rate. Ten passes,
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: defense made eighty eight tackles, all.
• 46:18
  Speaker 9: Started from the Pressler and Dax Hill danceIt.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: Cornerback DJ Turner held it down to an eighty two rating,
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: picked off two balls and knocked down a hefty eighteen passes.
• 46:29
  Speaker 7: And almost picked off incomplete Dicks.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Corners Jalen Davis Josh Newton fared well enough with their
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: limited reps, both sub ninety rates. Safety Jordan Battle four interceptions,
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: two forced fumbles, one hundred and twenty five tackles a
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: sub ninety rate.
• 46:46
  Speaker 10: Go up here coming for rush. It passed over the
• 46:48
  Speaker 10: middle and it is intercepted off of ricochet by Jordan Battle.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: And they drafted to Carrio Davis in the third round as.
• 46:56
  Speaker 6: A big old corner just under six foot four, one
• 47:00
  Speaker 6: hundred ninety four pounds. To see the cop right there
• 47:01
  Speaker 6: at the bottom, we can jump to that and Reek
• 47:03
  Speaker 6: Wollan here You see his recovery ability to go track,
• 47:05
  Speaker 6: get the football down the field. Reek Wolan had ball skills.
• 47:08
  Speaker 6: This dude does as well. It's just rare to find
• 47:11
  Speaker 6: this highweight speed combination when you're almost six foot four
• 47:14
  Speaker 6: and you're someone who runs a four to four one.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow in company don't need that group to play
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: like the eighty five Bears. Just can't look like a
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: fifty year old dad playing Madden for the first time
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: against his twelve year old gamer son.
• 47:26
  Speaker 10: Oh hey, what twenty one?
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: Heck, even with Burrow out half the year, Bengals offense
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: still put up twenty four a game.
• 47:36
  Speaker 10: Sit down the middle of the field feb.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: Fifth best on third down and second best in the
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: red zone.
• 47:42
  Speaker 10: Chase Bridans camp.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: Half four burrow, proving Cougars and Bengals can get along.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: Just find this offseason, by the way, truly, Joe still
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: has Chase out there.
• 48:00
  Speaker 10: All right, Chase going to the ground, makes the catch.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: Jamar could probably put up one thousand yards in a
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: year with Daredevil at quarterback.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: Jamar Chase turning defenders into invisible.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: Men over fourteen hundred yards one and twenty five catches.
• 48:17
  Speaker 10: He does a jungle jump.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: Eight tds between two Joes and two JB's last season,
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: this is caw.
• 48:26
  Speaker 8: Oh my goodness.
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: Matt Murdoch could track him and the defender's heart beats
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: and footsteps, so that's not really a stretch.
• 48:33
  Speaker 10: Few what No.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: One eight T Higgins eight hundred and forty six yards
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: eleven scores.
• 48:38
  Speaker 10: Hot by Higgins. He's in the ten five.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: Touchdown miss two games otherwise goes for a k again.
• 48:46
  Speaker 8: Oh no, what to say? Good forday to be great.
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: Andre Yoshibosh there for the scraps. Four hundred and thirty
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: five yards Zoe touchdown, Yo s boss, He's a good receiver.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: There's just only so much pizza to go around.
• 49:01
  Speaker 10: Fires caught over the metal.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: And Cincinnati's tight end has to eat too, though they
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: said goodbye to Noah Fant. Three tds close to three hundred.
• 49:09
  Speaker 10: Yards of the field that is caught by Noah bat.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: That leaves Drew Sample and Mike Gasicki two scores and
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: over three hundred yards for him.
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: Burrough slated one to the end zone.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: It's Kasicki not to mention Chase Brown, who caught sixty
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: nine passes out of the backfield, five receiving touchdowns.
• 49:31
  Speaker 10: The up Chase down to fucking gone, he's touchdown.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: Brown quietly had a really nice year my practice Bay,
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: Let's go four hundred and thirty seven receiving yards.
• 49:44
  Speaker 8: The song has run by Chase though, how song over one.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: Thousand rushing yards.
• 49:49
  Speaker 10: And he scores on a twelve yard touchdown run.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: Six tds down low too, That's a big time Chase Brown.
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: I was such a sick run base.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: Bengals even got improved past protection from its line. Double
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: on pressure eight faced middle of the pack, thirty six
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: sacks taken. Also mid at least right tackle Marius Mims
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: gave up six and a half sacks. Left tackle Orlando
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: Brown eight and a half pass pro plagued them in
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: past years, so even slight improvement makes a difference. All
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: five guys from last year return and they're happy with
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: Evan McPherson kicking made eighty nine percent of his field
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: goal tries forty one of forty four from the proverbial
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: free throw line.
• 50:34
  Speaker 10: Here's yeah, yeah, God have the Bengals have knocked out
• 50:40
  Speaker 10: the Steelers.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: So not much different with their offense. They're running it
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: back with the same group that trotted out Week one,
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: and why not. It's as lethal a group as you're
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: gonna find. Burrow, though has missed significant time three times now,
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: this will be your seven for Joe to their defense.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: That front is deep. Is it good? Mafey replaces Hendrickson,
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: though it's not a full year of Trey production. He's
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: replacing Howell, Infosi and check it out. Murphy, Allen, Lawrence, Mafey,
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: and Stuart are all former first rounders. Secondary a blend
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: of new and old. Cook, Dougger and Davis new to
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: the stripes. Rest of the guys expected to play plenty
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: of snaps played plenty for the Bengals last year. Now
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: to the schedule, they have the third easiest schedule in
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: the NFL. If you go by twenty twenty six expected
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: win totals. That's good news, being Cincinnati's been given a
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: nine and a half over under chip. They have a
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: pretty high ceiling because of that. They only hit it
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: if their defense isn't a train wreck. Again, but let's
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: say they win every game against teams under that mark.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: They beat Tampa Bay, lose on the road to Houston
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: since they're on equal ground. Take Pittsburgh, beat Jacksonville since
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: that's a home game, Beat Miami Tennessee all four of
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: those seven and a half teams as well as Cleveland.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: Take Carolina and Indianapolis and sweep Cleveland. That would be
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: a nice thirteen win year. Looking inside the game preview,
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: guy Bag, I don't know if I see thirteen wins
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: because I'm not sure I trust that defense to that level.
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: But Burrow, Higgs, Chase and Chase plus that schedule worth
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: more than nine dubs, right,
