Transcript
- 0:00[SPEAKER_00]: Jacksonville, Jack Wars fans, welcome into Duval, daily presented by Genjag.com and fueled by brass tax coffee right now.
- 0:05[SPEAKER_00]: I have got a tier based power rankings for you.
- 0:10[SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited to get into it.
- 0:11[SPEAKER_00]: Basically, we have Super Bowl or bus tier, Super Bowl contenders, maybe, which is
- 0:17[SPEAKER_00]: That's the biggest tier, you know, a group of teams that, you know, if a lot of things break the right way, I could see it may be happening, then we have the playoffs would be cool tier, then we have the what are we doing here and we have the Raiders are promising and we have the arch tier, arch manning.
- 0:37[SPEAKER_00]: He will be the first overall pick next year.
- 0:39[SPEAKER_00]: So, excited to get into it, just figured we do this because, you know,
- 0:44[SPEAKER_00]: Just had to walk through today for the jags.
- 0:46[SPEAKER_00]: Didn't have anything crazy with practice.
- 0:48[SPEAKER_00]: Back on the practice field tomorrow.
- 0:50[SPEAKER_00]: Just thought this would be a fun time on a Saturday to kind of go through my thoughts on the upcoming NFL season around the league.
- 0:56[SPEAKER_00]: Really appreciate y'all tuning in.

- 1:00[SPEAKER_00]: You can also hit that high button.
- 1:01[SPEAKER_00]: So my Super Bowl or bust tier is one team.
- 1:05[SPEAKER_00]: It's the Los Angeles Rams and look.
- 1:08[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're the best team in the league.
- 1:09[SPEAKER_00]: I thought they were the best team in the league last year.
- 1:12[SPEAKER_00]: Special teams ultimately cost them a football game in the NFC championship against the Seattle Seahawk, but it is what it is, these things happen.
- 1:19[SPEAKER_00]: I think that they've gotten even better.
- 1:20[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, if they don't end up winning a Super Bowl, it's gonna feel like a little bit of a disappointment for them and just that's a great football team.
- 1:29[SPEAKER_00]: Well coach on both sides of the ball, Superstar talent across the board.
- 1:33[SPEAKER_00]: They got way better on defense, Aaron Donald might be coming back.
- 1:38[SPEAKER_00]: does that mean like they're locked into in?
- 1:41[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely not.
- 1:41[SPEAKER_00]: I mean anything can happen and it's very difficult to win the Super Bowl, right?
- 1:46[SPEAKER_00]: Putting that much pressure on one team, it's tough, but I think if any team is built for it, it probably is a Los Angeles Rams.
- 1:53[SPEAKER_00]: And then we have my Super Bowl contenders.
- 1:55[SPEAKER_00]: These are teams where I feel like there are a lot of pieces in place,
- 1:59[SPEAKER_00]: to get to the title game, to get to the Super Bowl.
- 2:03[SPEAKER_00]: Buffalo Bills, Philadelphia Eagles, Jacksonville Jaguars, New England Patriots, Denver Broncos, and Seattle Seahawks.
- 2:12[SPEAKER_00]: That is my second tier.
- 2:15[SPEAKER_00]: These are teams that I feel like on both sides of the ball, I feel very confident.
- 2:20[SPEAKER_00]: Look, you can definitely make
- 2:23[SPEAKER_00]: make different kind of takes on the eagles and what they're doing with their coaching situation.
- 2:29[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're going to bounce back in a big way.
- 2:31[SPEAKER_00]: I think that they are set up for success.
- 2:33[SPEAKER_00]: I like the way they handled their off season.
- 2:35[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're in a good spot.
- 2:38[SPEAKER_00]: See, Hawks, don't love losing Clink Kubiak, but they're just loaded still.
- 2:43[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they have a really, really good roster, really well-coached.
- 2:46[SPEAKER_00]: I saw a lot of confidence in them.
- 2:48[SPEAKER_00]: The team,
- 2:50[SPEAKER_00]: There's three teams here that really don't have like that superstar quarterback.
- 2:55[SPEAKER_00]: And it's obviously the Seahawks, the Broncos, and the Eagles.
- 2:59[SPEAKER_00]: But in their given situations, I think that those quarterbacks can succeed.
- 3:03[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, Sam Brownell showed he can win the Super Bowl last year with a fantastic defense and running game.
- 3:10[SPEAKER_00]: And look, yeah, they lost kind of the Walker, but they got generic in price.
- 3:13[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's going to be a stud for them.
- 3:15[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 3:17[SPEAKER_00]: Bonyx has the Sean Peyton benefit plus just like so much receiving talent and a great great defense.
- 3:25[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, when you look at the Eagle situation with Jalen Hertz, it's an offense that has a lot of receiving talent, even without AJ Brown.
- 3:37[SPEAKER_00]: Then obviously, one of the best running backs in football and a great offensive line and they have a super talented defense too.
- 3:47[SPEAKER_00]: bills.
- 3:47[SPEAKER_00]: I think not enough people are giving credit to them for going and getting DJ more.
- 3:51[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly think that was a huge move for them to get DJ more for Josh Allen.
- 3:55[SPEAKER_00]: I think that is a great pairing a great duo and kind of maybe the final.
- 4:00[SPEAKER_00]: Final piece on the board that they really needed on offense.
- 4:03[SPEAKER_00]: And then you look at the jag wars.
- 4:05[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, I'm very bullish on them.
- 4:07[SPEAKER_00]: I think that they have a top 10 offense, worse.
- 4:09[SPEAKER_00]: They top 10 defense at worst.
- 4:11[SPEAKER_00]: Some of the best special teams in the NFL.
- 4:14[SPEAKER_00]: And I think they're going to be one of the most difficult teams to beat this year.
- 4:18[SPEAKER_00]: And I do think they're Super Bowl contenders.
- 4:20[SPEAKER_00]: And then you have the maybe tier.
- 4:23[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe, right?
- 4:24[SPEAKER_00]: Some things need to go their way.
- 4:26[SPEAKER_00]: I have some questions, but there's talent.
- 4:28[SPEAKER_00]: And this is the biggest tier, and it's the 49ers, injuries, right?
- 4:33[SPEAKER_00]: That's what it comes down to for me with the 49ers.
- 4:35[SPEAKER_00]: And there's already some bad injury stuff going on there with obviously Ricky Pierce all out for this season.
- 4:42[SPEAKER_00]: Cowboys, I think the Cowboys are very good, but this is just a team that,
- 4:49[SPEAKER_00]: In this era of Cowboys football, they've struggled to win in the playoffs.
- 4:54[SPEAKER_00]: It's just kind of, it is what it is at this point.
- 4:56[SPEAKER_00]: The bears, great offense.
- 5:00[SPEAKER_00]: I like Dennis Allen as a coach a lot.
- 5:01[SPEAKER_00]: I like some of the pieces on defense, but I think they need to prove it a little bit more on that side of the ball.
- 5:05[SPEAKER_00]: The lions, they've had horrible injury luck, and obviously they're kind of trying to get the offense back to where it was with Ben Johnson, which is still very good offense, right?
- 5:16[SPEAKER_00]: But they've had some turnover there.
- 5:18[SPEAKER_00]: I'm on the offensive coaching staff since Nadi Bengals, you know, if Zack Taylor and Joe Burrow can show a little bit more flexibility, I think, with the offense, if the defense can really step up, if they stay healthy, maybe, right, Kansas City Chiefs, healthy, I don't know.
- 5:43[SPEAKER_00]: There's been a rash of injuries over there.
- 5:46[SPEAKER_00]: There's been a lot of strange things happening with the chiefs.
- 5:49[SPEAKER_00]: I still believe in Patrick Mahomes.
- 5:51[SPEAKER_00]: I still believe in Andy Reed.
- 5:53[SPEAKER_00]: They did a good job.
- 5:54[SPEAKER_00]: I think addressing their defensive line and the defensive backfield, but Mansour Delane's not even practicing right now.
- 5:58[SPEAKER_00]: Don't know what's up with that.
- 5:59[SPEAKER_00]: So maybe chargers, I wanted to put them in the Super Bowl contenders tier but they're just a team to me that.
- 6:09[SPEAKER_00]: they get snake bit man like something always happens the bottom always falls out uh... i think on paper they should be in the superbowl contenders tier but i just couldn't do it uh... Texans
- 6:21[SPEAKER_00]: Show me that offensive line and show me CJ Strabbland, play a better football and absolutely they could be right there.
- 6:26[SPEAKER_00]: They have probably the best defense in the league.
- 6:28[SPEAKER_00]: Green Bay Packers, they're always right there.
- 6:31[SPEAKER_00]: It feels like a couple of things break their way.
- 6:33[SPEAKER_00]: They could certainly be a contender.
- 6:36[SPEAKER_00]: And then the Ravens, I have right there too, obviously a lot of turnover with that coaching staff for the first time in a long time.
- 6:43[SPEAKER_00]: I do believe in Jesse Mentor, don't know much honestly about their offensive philosophy and game plan yet, so that's kind of maybe for me, but yeah, I think that all those teams have a shot, potentially, at being a Superbowl contender, playoffs would be cool.
- 7:01[SPEAKER_00]: Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints, Indianapolis Colts, New York Giants,
- 7:08[SPEAKER_00]: I was really tempted to put them in the what are we doing here category, but you know, I got to give Jackson Dart a little credit.
- 7:16[SPEAKER_00]: As much as I don't know how it's going to go with John Harbaugh in New York, I do give him some leeway.
- 7:25[SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited to see how it goes a little bit.
- 7:28[SPEAKER_00]: When it comes to, and they have a super talented defense of front, Minnesota Vikings.
- 7:36[SPEAKER_00]: Like, basically, all these teams, I feel like, if they make the playoffs, they'll be able to run it back and have some good vibes about it.
- 7:45[SPEAKER_00]: That's the playoffs will be caught category.
- 7:47[SPEAKER_00]: Again, Panthers, Saints, Colts, Giants, Vikings, and Commanders.
- 7:53[SPEAKER_00]: What are we doing here?
- 7:56[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, these are teams that I basically feel like kind of need to hit the reset button in a few ways, and I have the buck and ears in this,
- 8:06[SPEAKER_00]: The falcons feel like they're trying to compete, but like to what end?
- 8:10[SPEAKER_00]: They don't have their quarterback in my opinion.
- 8:12[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think Phoenix or two or really that guy.
- 8:16[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
- 8:18[SPEAKER_00]: What are we doing here for the falcons?
- 8:22[SPEAKER_00]: Because I basically feel like if you're a team that doesn't have a quarterback that is trying to make the playoffs, it's like, why?
- 8:32[SPEAKER_00]: I don't get it.
- 8:37[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, maybe I'm wrong on that one, but it's like, to me, the Buccaneers, they should have hit the reset button, obviously, Todd Bowles, I mean, I think that that is...
- 8:50[SPEAKER_00]: He could be the first coach fired this year.
- 8:52[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, if things aren't going well for them, but Buccaneers, Falcons, Browns, again, the quarterback situation, what are we doing here?
- 8:59[SPEAKER_00]: The dolphins, honestly, I think that they should have been a team that didn't try to go as hard at being a reasonably decent team this year.
- 9:11[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, I think all these teams should be thinking about archmagnic and they're just not.
- 9:15[SPEAKER_00]: Tennessee Titans, I do have some level of confidence in Cam Ward, he needs to improve a lot,
- 9:21[SPEAKER_00]: I just, I don't think that that's a build that's going to go the way Titans fans will want it to go, honestly.
- 9:28[SPEAKER_00]: Jets, another team like they should have been in the arch sweepstakes and said they snive Juno Smith, they're probably going to be decent.
- 9:35[SPEAKER_00]: The Steelers, I think fire, I think fire in my time will be stupid.
- 9:43[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's going to end up looking dumb, honestly.
- 9:47[SPEAKER_00]: Raiders are promising.
- 9:48[SPEAKER_00]: Is the Raiders?
- 9:49[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I believe in the Raiders.
- 9:50[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think that they're ready to win this year, but I do believe in Fernando Mendoza, Clint Kubiak.
- 9:54[SPEAKER_00]: I love Brock Bowers and Ashton Dinti and a lot of their talent.
- 9:58[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I like what the Raiders are doing, even though I don't think they're a playoff team.
- 10:02[SPEAKER_00]: And then the arch tier.
- 10:05[SPEAKER_00]: Sarah's own cardinals, man.
- 10:06[SPEAKER_00]: I know they got Carson Beck, right?
- 10:09[SPEAKER_00]: But I would love to see archmaning in the desert.
- 10:12[SPEAKER_00]: I think that that would be great.
- 10:14[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that their team that's actually positioning themselves to potentially go get archmaning.
- 10:18[SPEAKER_00]: So that's my NFL tear-based power rankings.
- 10:25[SPEAKER_00]: cannot wait for this season.
- 10:26[SPEAKER_00]: We'll be back out on the practice field tomorrow for a, you know, full practice for the Jaguars.
- 10:31[SPEAKER_00]: Stay tuned.
