  Speaker 1: Hey, Hey, everybody got your breakdowns of all the moves
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: made by NFC North teams ahead of twenty twenty six.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: This is a game preview guy production, not DJ or
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Bucky or AI. Look, I tried to get it to
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: do my thing for me. I'm just not smart enough
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: to figure out how it works. So here we are.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: You can make the case the NFC North is going
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to be the toughest fight in the league. Chicago's buzzing
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: with optimism, Caleb Williams getting brought up as a possible MVP,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Detroit's offense still loaded. They just need that defense to
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: stay healthy enough to make a bigger impact than it
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: did last year. Packers will have to wait on Micah,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: but get him back and their defense will be on
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: par with their Jordan Love offense and Minnesota stacked on
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: defense equipped with Justin Jefferson. Minnesota Vikings nine to eight
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: and twenty twenty five more impressed. So then it sounds
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: kind of didn't have any business being over five hundred
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: with that headless horseman offensive theirs. But this is twenty
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: twenty six, Kevin O'Connell. Even year, you're in this with me,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: urn for.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Me and buy me we're going for this bike together.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Which have been pretty prosperous for school nation. That is
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: exactly what I'm talking about with O'Connell. Thirteen wins in
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven and twenty one, fourteen and twenty four
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: nine last year, that means fifteen wins this year right way.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Just so you guys know, today, I'm going to consistently
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: stay above the line and be a positive force.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Why not. No more vincent adult man at quarterback instead,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: It's time for some Kyler Murray.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: Genuine, genuine fandom ran deep Vikings year through and through
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: a lot of.
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: Purple my household.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: For the second time in three years, Minnesota is throwing
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: on a re tread tire. Worked pretty well last time,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: and as we saw, kept on working last year, but
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: for a different team that's stung. JJ McCarthy simply looked
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: like two kids inside a football uniform trying to pass
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: as an adult doing business stuff. I was really thinking
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: about just boomings the goal, No boom anybody. He went
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: six and four, but eleven tds against twelve Iantes only
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: averaged one hundred and sixty three yards per game, a
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: low seventies rate. Only Shador Sanders finished behind him, so
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Murray doesn't have to do too much and they should
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: be more productive. Thumbnail backstory. Former number one pick Curriet.
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: Trouble gets away from a defender that's up to a
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: run and he's loose near side.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Of the forty five of the forty at the thirty
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: five of the thirty cut by the Cardinals this offseason,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: who were a sub five hundred team. Mind you, he
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: only played five games last year. Up and down seven
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: year career. But when he's on his dual threat skill
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: set plenty impressive.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: And it's a touchdown. What a darn.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: He's expected to do two things, jump start an offense
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: that was abysmal a year ago.
• 3:06
  Speaker 7: Shy I couldn't get a juffee off boy.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: And reignite kid Dino might Hey, go.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: You and lead about you.
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: We'll leave it all.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: On the heat so we can get back to some
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: good times.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Please play cover too, bro, at least play too high.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: JJ put up another thousand yard year's.
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: Field Jefferson fifty five.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Just that's six straight to start his career.
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: One handed catch by Justin Jefferson.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: But Jefferson is a dude capable of two k This
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: world is just a better place when he's grittying on
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: the regular touch.
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: Showtime.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: If Marie to Jets offense has to be better than
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four version.
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: Billy Bowman Junior coming up with the.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Interception twenty points per game twenty sixth he hit it
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: didn't twenty eighth in yards per game.
• 4:14
  Speaker 8: Coming deep Ray was twenty yard line in his intercepted
• 4:17
  Speaker 8: Man oftscos.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Worst third down offense in the land.
• 4:21
  Speaker 9: I just got out of some of the air and
• 4:23
  Speaker 9: the past is intercepted in the end zone.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: And gave the ball away more than any other team.
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: You could go sell this to the exode. It's intercept
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: Xavier Watts.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: They're hoping for better O line play this year, too,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: hoping for better health within that he's head in sacked.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Center Ryan Kelly only played eight games. Right tackle Brian
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: O'Neill missed three games. Stud left tackle Christian Darisow missed
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: seven games. His replacement, justin School gave up a team
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: high eleven sacks. Guard Donovan Jackson missed three games, still
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: allowed six sacks. Only guard Will Fries played all seventeen games,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: and he gave up a fat nine sacks. Minnesota QBS
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: took sixty sacks total. Only one team allowed more. Walker
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: got it lots of vikings. Fans will blame the quarterbacks
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: for many of those backwards plays, and they probably have
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: a point.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: Looking any sacked James Bears Junior.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: If they cut back, their skilled playmakers can start making
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: plays again. Tight End TJ. Hawkinson four hundred and thirty
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: eight yards and twenty twenty five, four fifty five and
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, but he has two nine hundred plus
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: years on his resume.
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: Fyers to the end zone touchdown, Henry Ryan Dude, Jay Hockinson.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Jordan Addison went for six hundred and ten yards fourteen
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: games on total.
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: Just believe it's of it.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Bro won't be working with Jalen Naylor left after putting
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: up a career high four hundred and forty four yards
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: scored four times.
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: The Jaalen Nayler's first touchdown.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: This year replaced by Juwan Jens, who scored nine times
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: for the forty nine ers last year. I've got Minnesota
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: will lean on Jordan Mason and Aaron Jones on handoffs again.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Jones hit at four to a carry five hundred and
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: forty eight yards to the left touchdive Mason back to
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: back seven hundred plus yard years after posting seven to
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: fifty eight last year touch a nice four to eight
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: per carry sprint out to the left.
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: He reaches for the zone touchdown.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: For eight plus all four years in the pros.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: Mason is in a Minnesota touchdown.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: If their offense is even just a middle of the
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: pack type O and their defense holds the line, this
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: turns into a scary club.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: These guys are gonna get us the ball right back,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: and we're gonna go score.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: They held teams to nineteen points per game last year,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: seventh top four and yards per game allowed. Oh smacked
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: one third down and in Scott Hansen's house that day.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: Again.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, Isaiah Rodgers might just have caused his third round
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: over this game. If this stands, this is unbelievable.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: No blind spots with this group held quarterbacks to an
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: eighty six rating in just one hundred and fifty eight
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: yards per game, second fewest.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Murphy takes it away that he's out of bounds with
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: another major shift in favor of Minnesota.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Dropping back to throw typically means the quarterback had to
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: dance the ballroom blitz. There are lots of purple people.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Leader Vibes with this defense fourth most sacks with forty
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: nine wall Wow. And they are not soft against runners,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: holding them to four per try, I said Vibes. Alan
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Page's group, the Ogppes Vikings twenty twenty six defense will
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: have a different flavor than twenty twenty fives. We should
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: see a full year of starts from Dallas Turner had
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: ten last year, blasted eight quarterbacks, eleven tackles for loss
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: in six D six tackles. He's the guy they feel
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: like is about to become a star pass rusher.
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: Dallas Turner sacks Michael Pennix.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Across from him the ultimate Viking.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: Days on fire.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Andrew Van Ginkle was born to play in Minnesota, only
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: got twelve games in dropped seven quarterbacks in that window.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Andrew defensive end slash DT. Jalen Redmond had a mini
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: breakout in his second year.
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: Are ready for that?
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: Are you ready for that?
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: He didn't play much as a rookie, then when given
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: more opportunities over sixty tackles twelve for a loss in
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: a half dozen backs up. As to some of the
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: changes to their front seven, no more. Jonathan Grenard at
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: outside linebacker Bernard a ten plus sack guy in twenty
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: twenty three and twenty four, but only three last year.
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: What's that prison?
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: No more Jonathan Allen at defensive end. He departed off
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: a sixty eight tackle, three and a half sack campaign.
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: He got boys a hit and then he kept head again.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: Are supposed all around to him?
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: And no more. Javon Hargrave in the middle walked out
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: the door with a fifty two tackle, three and a
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: half sack season.
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: Hey sacked.
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: They finally sacked Caleb Williams.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: They replaced both chaps in the draft, Caleb Banks taking
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the first round.
• 9:15
  Speaker 10: I mean, there is a ton of ability there, but
• 9:18
  Speaker 10: he's had an injury with his foot.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: He reinjured.
• 9:20
  Speaker 10: It didn't get to see him much this year, so
• 9:24
  Speaker 10: someone only played three games this year.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: He's a flash player.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: It's a little bit hot and cold.
• 9:28
  Speaker 10: But when you see that on the screen six to
• 9:30
  Speaker 10: six in a quarter, you see that size at three
• 9:33
  Speaker 10: hundred and twenty seven pounds with thirty five inch arms,
• 9:36
  Speaker 10: I mean, this is a swing for the fences. If
• 9:39
  Speaker 10: you hit on this one, you could end up with
• 9:41
  Speaker 10: an All Pro.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: In defensive tackle. Dominique Horne taken in the third.
• 9:45
  Speaker 10: He was dominant in the Iowa game, the rivalry game.
• 9:48
  Speaker 10: Very powerful guy plays that one tech nose in a
• 9:51
  Speaker 10: nose technique. He's going to be right over the center.
• 9:53
  Speaker 10: I think you can kind of control the line of
• 9:55
  Speaker 10: scrimmage and he'll flash some of that lateral range. Not
• 9:58
  Speaker 10: just pressing guys back, but you'll see him get lateral
• 10:01
  Speaker 10: and make some tackles.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: So an interesting player pass rush.
• 10:04
  Speaker 10: Look, there's no sacks, there's not a lot of production
• 10:06
  Speaker 10: to go off of there.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: You're drafting him to stop the runs for Levi Drake
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Rodriguez a couple of sacks in his second year over
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: forty tackles and a nice eight tackles for loss, mostly
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: as a backup.
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: Here's a blitz Goffice hit and Jared Goffis.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Sacked the dudes at level two. What a year Eric
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Wilson had so good may be hard to replicate, especially
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: because it came in his ninth season, but one hundred
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: and fifteen tackles, six and a half sacks, and he
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: led all inside linebackers and tackles for loss.
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: Here's Bernard he got held Prova Black.
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: Hen's damn Donald's.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Is that fellow Vett Blake Cashman led the team with
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: one hundred and forty four tackles and he only played
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: thirteen games. He's cracked one hundred plus three straight years.
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: He's going to be sacked down, goes Jared Goff.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I believe that was Blake cash I have in pace
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: ross playing time to Wilson and posted the fewest tackles
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: he's had over his first three seasons. Still factored into
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: sixty plus, though packed.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: Once gets away from Grenard and finally is taken down
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: by Ivan Page Junior.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: And still not done. Linebacker Jake Goldey picked up in
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: the second round of the draft.
• 11:17
  Speaker 10: When you're over six foot four, almost two hundred and
• 11:19
  Speaker 10: forty pounds and you can really run and carry guys
• 11:21
  Speaker 10: down the slot, to go along with some of that
• 11:24
  Speaker 10: range off the edge, you'll see him rush at times.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: That versatility backside. Salt and Peppa would remind them to
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: thank their moms for one that looks that nice. They're
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: plenty happy to run it back with these dudes. Corner
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Byron Murphy still looks CB one ish woo over seventy
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: tackles held quarterbacks to a low seventies rate. Couple of picks.
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: Hi'm mith woyette hi mith Woyette corner.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Isaiah Rodgers comes off a breakout here, blocked a field goal,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: held his targets to a sub ninety rates.
• 12:04
  Speaker 11: Rodgers over sixty tackles, four forced fumbles used, the first
• 12:12
  Speaker 11: NFL player with two defensive touchdowns and two forced fumbles
• 12:16
  Speaker 11: in a game.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: He scored twice in his fifth season.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: What's the football, It's Rogers again, off the running. Oh
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: my goodness, he runs a pack for a second touchdown today.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: And James Pierre, who they signed away from Pittsburgh, had
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: a career high eleven passes defensed a low fifties rating
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: ahead of his seventh year.
• 12:37
  Speaker 10: It's picked up by Pierre racing down to the left sidelight.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Will they have Harrison Smith Skull Legend hasn't committed to
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: playing again, but hasn't officially said he's done either.
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: Polara assumption and number.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Thirty eight taking his locker room stall. Jacoby Thomas, a
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: third rounder they had lots of picks in rounds one
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: to three.
• 12:58
  Speaker 10: Got the ability to see the future a little bit from
• 13:00
  Speaker 10: the middle of the field to drive and make plays.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Here he shows you some of the pop he has
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: as a hitter. And then here's those ball skills.
• 13:07
  Speaker 10: Did not catch the ball well at the combine CDA,
• 13:09
  Speaker 10: which shocked us because you see all these ball skills
• 13:11
  Speaker 10: when you're watching him on tape.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: But he does play. He plays aggressive, he plays fast.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: You see it as a blitzers. He just dump trucks
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: the running back on the way to the quarterback.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Josh mattellis a sub ninety rate and two i nts
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: and over eighty tackles win at home.
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: But the fuck.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: And THEO Jackson low seventies rate, two sacks. Few dB
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: rooms have so many guys who seem to be grooving
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: at once.
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: Drake bubble bumblemitch, that's vikings paw. THEO Jackson picked it
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: up at the.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Thirty Nita toe. Will Reiker can get you a toe
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: by three o'clock thirty three for thirty five on field
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: goal tries, perfect on extra points. Believe me, dude, there
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: are ways and.
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: Over end kick to give the biking the lead is good.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: So two new key faces added to the secondary Pierre
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: in a corner sort of takes the place of Jeff
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Okudah and Fabian Moreau. Front seven banks for Allen Orange
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: for Hargrave gold A joining pace Wilson Cashman. That's a
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: deep inside linebacker room. They have the big riddle on offense,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: who wins the quarterback job Kyler or JJ Jennings replacing Naylor.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Rest of the playmakers the same as last year. JJ, Addison,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Hawk Jones, and Mason Vikings are a tough read, which
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: is why they've been tabbed with an eight and a
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: half over under. So much depends on Kyler. Their expected
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: strength of schedule, so basing it off their opponents. Twenty
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: twenty six expected win totals is middle of the pack,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: so not overly daunting at the very least. Let's look
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: at how they could do if Marie ends up as
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Darnald two point zero and they shock everybody the way
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: he did in purple. Beat Green Bay at home, take
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, Miami, New Orleans, Indianapolis. They have a real
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: tough four after that on the road versus Detroit, Roy
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Buffalo at home, road games versus Green Bay and San Francisco.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: But they get back on track versus Atlanta and Carolina.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Beat Detroit at home, Defeat Washington and the Jets plus
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Chicago at home puts them back in the playoffs game
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: preview Guy Logic says, if they can win nine with
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: that quarterback situation they had last year, their defense alone
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: can carry them to nine dubs. Based on the health
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: levels of the Bill Swirsky super fan club last we
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: saw them. No way they survived to Bear's twenty twenty five.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: Season cardiac Bear for a reason.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: They put even the healthiest of hearts to the test.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Now for the follow.
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: Up exam to pay man, let me Go, Let me Go.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Which they hope includes more trips where you can just
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: put it on cruise control.
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: The Quarner magic is somehow continuing.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Twenty twenty five Chicago Bears football was must see TV.
• 16:08
  Speaker 9: Allow it as the kiss touchdown Bears so Soldier Field
• 16:13
  Speaker 9: are rough?
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: Do you feel a shaking a little bit?
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Two, it didn't matter who they were playing.
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: Cot come back.
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: Have the Bears tie.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: The game, whether they won or lost.
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: Don't stop, what are you kidding me? That's growing j
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: day Walker.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: They did so in dramatic fashion week after week.
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: You call him the comeback kids. They've been in this
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: position and it is tough. It's a postseason, but they
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: believe so. One thing about this team resilient and they
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: believe that they can find a way.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: They combined defense that led the league in takeaways.
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: They're about to make a stop for you right now.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: You're gonna go win a t.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Game with an offense first and giveaways.
• 16:52
  Speaker 9: Where we are right now, what you guys are doing,
• 16:54
  Speaker 9: it's no flute.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: And with the iceman showing up at the very last second.
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: Well we go two. If you have the leverage on
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: the safety.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Go like all those superheroes Hollywood writes about.
• 17:06
  Speaker 9: Catch may touchdown fars it's over at Soldier Field. The
• 17:12
  Speaker 9: Iceman cometh, The Iceman taketh twenty two sixteen pairs.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: That was one of four iconic throws made by Caleb
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Williams Williams.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: Chase Scrow, I mean, are you kidding me?
• 17:35
  Speaker 8: This is the kind of a secret sauce that makes
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: him so abiti.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: And it wasn't just any team he was building his
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: legendary status against.
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: It's a rivalry that goes back one hundred and four years.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Three of the four throws came against the team Chicago
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: loyalists loathed Bears Packers.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Nothing more needs to be set.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Against the team whose former quarterback boasted that he owned them.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: The legend of the Iceman was born by defeating the
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: evil villain snap.
• 18:07
  Speaker 9: Back for mat rush Caleb with a double both thrown
• 18:10
  Speaker 9: down the fly DJ Brds.
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: Then, Wow, what a play?
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: What what the fuck?
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: Bart?
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: And while his last heroic effort didn't lead to victory,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: you will be hard pressed to find a throw like
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: it anywhere in NFL history books.
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: Playing backing up, take chase, go way back down.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Back to the sporting or tapes in this matter, well
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: suppressing to the ends up. It was the kind of
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: play you only expect to see in Madden Touch dab
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: oh god, with your defeated friend claiming it's what makes
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: the game fake.
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: The Iceman did it, what more time.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Because no real quarterback could ever do that.
• 18:58
  Speaker 9: And the pumpback kids, my god, they continue to inspire
• 19:04
  Speaker 9: on bad base.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Now the challenge of building off all of that. In
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, how about that bear weatherzone right right?
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: No wheel out.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Caleb didn't hit his stated goals of thirty and four thousand,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: but twenty seven tds only seven iron t's in this
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: year too.
• 19:22
  Speaker 9: You thought that player was a throwaway and Caleb Williams
• 19:27
  Speaker 9: launched it to.
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: DJ Moore the end zone.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: First under Ben Johnson takes the snap.
• 19:32
  Speaker 9: Then I flipped it to a dude. Say back the
• 19:34
  Speaker 9: other way to DJ Moore, toss right up the quick
• 19:38
  Speaker 9: step down Caleb.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Playing optimism level is as high as it gets.
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: Dude, make your play.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Chicago's offense popped for close to twenty six a game.
• 19:49
  Speaker 9: Throws to the end zone to Kias touchdown, touchdown.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Bear top seven on third down and in yards per
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: game throwing right side.
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: Well, what U?
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: But the vibe is this is an offense about to
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: jump into top three Country.
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: Rose deep.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: Touchdown.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Caleb himself holds the key to elevation.
• 20:17
  Speaker 9: Day.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: His well documented accuracy issues the second lowest completion percentage
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: in the league. The sir mix a lot, but Chicago
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: receivers had an eight point three percent drop rate, third
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: highest in the NFL.
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: Era all of it maked Bruck.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Johnson wants him near seventy percent. He jumps into the
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: mid sixties and they're scoring more often and earlier.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Are you having any fun?
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Especially if he can keep up the Houdini act.
• 20:51
  Speaker 9: He has had quite the day, running all over in
• 20:54
  Speaker 9: between away from but finally getting into the the touchdown.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Guys felt like they had him dead to rights and poof.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: He was somewhere else.
• 21:03
  Speaker 9: Eric Giants that could have had that fall, but Kata
• 21:06
  Speaker 9: Footing got a master class of escapability.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Right now, only twenty four sacks taken third few lists to.
• 21:14
  Speaker 7: The prifteen ten Live gets down the lot.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Bear's picked up Jedrick Wills former Brown. He's young and
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: started his career with plenty of promise. Nobody on the
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: line allowed more than three sacks last year. Drew Dolman
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: retired unexpectedly. They traded for Garrett Bradbury, who snapped his
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: way to the Super Bowl with New England, and they
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: drafted Logan Jones in the second round.
• 21:38
  Speaker 10: This is a Day one starter at center, and you
• 21:40
  Speaker 10: think about the loss with Dolman, and I know that
• 21:43
  Speaker 10: brought in Bradberg, but he's gonna have some competition.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Here with Logan Jones, a little bit older.
• 21:47
  Speaker 10: He's twenty four years old, arrived as a defensive lineman,
• 21:50
  Speaker 10: then kicked over to the offensive line.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: He's got excellent lateral quickness.
• 21:54
  Speaker 10: You want to be able to run some outside outside
• 21:56
  Speaker 10: zone stuff.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Get him on the mood latterly, he's excellent.
• 22:00
  Speaker 10: To me, there's not a lot of development I don't
• 22:02
  Speaker 10: know that he's gonna benefit from sitting.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: He's ready to get on the.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Field and block The offense has so many key guys
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: who are just getting started.
• 22:09
  Speaker 9: Loveland away in the twenty tumble down inside the fifteen.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Once tight end Colston Lovelin started getting the looks he
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: clearly deserved. He was a force get Oh.
• 22:19
  Speaker 8: But again, he's almost to the point now where he's saying, hey, guys,
• 22:22
  Speaker 8: I'm going to eighty four.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Like the kind of kid you can see is one
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: of those truly special tight ends. Oh touchdown led the
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: team with seven hundred and thirteen yards fifty eight catches.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: As a rookie, Taylor Crude lit.
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: A lovel Cut streaks away the thirty leble ten.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Touch got Down only started eleven games.
• 22:45
  Speaker 9: Loveland Touchdown touchdown bears taylm to Loveland thirty six yards.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Luther Burden also picked up steam as the year went along.
• 22:57
  Speaker 8: Oh and David, He's got a man behind everybody, and
• 23:00
  Speaker 8: it's Burden of the twenty.
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: Lutherburton dances in I Turn, I Turn what I found.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Ended his first year with over six hundred and fifty yards.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Their first and second rounders two years running have all
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: hit up had a job they believe. Roma Doonzay is
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: a w R one in waiting away the detail over
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: six hundred and fifty yards six t ds in just
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: twelve games in his second year.
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: Open at the ten of the part. Don't say touchdown.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: The potential those three possessed the main reason DJ Moore
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: was expendable, traded off a six hundred and eighty two
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: yard sixty d run job. Shad about taking his spot.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Khalif Raymond, who played for Johnson in Detroit two hundred
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: and eighty nine yards last year, but he hit between
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: four hundred and eighty five and six sixteen twenty twenty
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: one to twenty twenty.
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: Three touchdown Lions.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Or maybe it's Xavi and Thomas, a third rounder who
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: many think could make an instant impact.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: This is just pure speed.
• 24:21
  Speaker 10: He ran up four to two eight. If you're into
• 24:23
  Speaker 10: that big time, big time juice down the field. There's
• 24:26
  Speaker 10: not a ton of production and you could see him
• 24:28
  Speaker 10: really separating with.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: That four to two eight speed. He's not a natural catcher,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: as you see him kind of corral that ball with
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: his body.
• 24:34
  Speaker 10: There's still work to be done there. I don't think
• 24:36
  Speaker 10: he's he's real smooth in that regard. But man, if
• 24:39
  Speaker 10: he does corral the football and gets going, you're not going.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: To catch it and demand do they like their running
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: back duo.
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: Yo like a free throw? You're I said, damn.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift carried their offense a number of games.
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: Yet goodbye press.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Swift over one thousand yards rush a career high nine
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: tds to.
• 25:02
  Speaker 9: The end zone, right side touchdown touchdown Bear.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Nine hundred and fifty plus rush yards three straight years,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: give it the episode, and Kyle Mnungai, with seven hundred
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: plus rush yards in his rookie season given him a.
• 25:16
  Speaker 9: Nun guide by an guy touchdown touchdown Bear.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Five scores a nice four to six per handoff too.
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: The Uncode.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Bears offense seems to be on the upswing.
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: No touchdown Bear.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Their defense, though, has a lot of.
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: Work to do. That's on to be hurt.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: That's only hurt unless they can somehow finish top three
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: in takeaways again.
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: They've bet another four turnover.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: It's not easy to pull off though.
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: And the pass is intercepted of the en zone.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: And those thefts covered up for a group that gave
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: up twenty four a game. But hey, Gay, Only three
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: teams allowed more yards per game in the end zone
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: for the score, and they need to be tougher.
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: On third down like you want to run now we
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: touch it looking for the.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: They led the league in Iront's boots John Rush type pocket,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: but gave up seven point six yards per attempt at quarterbacks,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: a rate north of ninety.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: Looking throwing out lock inside the twenty five inside the twenty.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: They had some nice games, but they need to produce
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: more of them this season.
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: Only needs enough stop man.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: They need more from their pass rush, only thirty five
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: sacks last year and a low pressure rate.
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: Okays got this one.
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: He's got a first down barging up to the thirty and.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: The boy is their room for growth after allowing runners
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: five a carry a year ago and off Mason runs
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: so the right first out their Swiss cheese play versus
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: the run is why cutting ties with linebacker Tremaine Edmonds
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: made sense financially. But they do have to replace a
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: guy who led the team with one hundred and twelve
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: tackles and came down with four ironts the yard. Not
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: enough of those tackles close enough to the line of
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: scrimmage still have. TJ. Edwards did not have him enough
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five, as he missed seven games and.
• 27:07
  Speaker 7: The first pick six.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: One twenty five plus tackle guy four straight years prior.
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: Jay Light shots to t B TJ.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Edward his new partner Devin Bush one hundred and twenty
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: five tackles, three I n t's, two pick six's for
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: the Browns and his latest run and Devin Bush will
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: score a new set of safeties this year. They cut
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: ties with three from last season. NFL I n T Leader,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: first team All Pro. Kevin Byers not re signed.
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: Gonna game good more attention. Let's stay light Dad.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: I have been admitted to not safety. Jaquan Brisker, also
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: a Bear no more, made ninety three tackles blitzing.
• 27:46
  Speaker 7: Brisker hits Stafford sut He goes to.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: The SAT but did give up a team high seven tds.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: It is caught by no V and they said goodbye
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: to CJ. Gardner Johnson who came on board midway gave
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: him three saxon ten games. Two I in T.
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: See it job Garder Hutson.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: They replaced all three. They signed Kobe Bryant away from Seattle.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Held it down. To a low fifties rate four picks.
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: Picked up.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Drafted Dylan Thieneman with their first round pick, the Oregon Smart.
• 28:20
  Speaker 10: They played great defense, they utilized him closer to the ball,
• 28:23
  Speaker 10: but I actually like Tate better when you go back
• 28:25
  Speaker 10: and watch him at Purdue where they utilized him or
• 28:28
  Speaker 10: as that center.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Fielder where you could see him range and make plays
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: on the ball. Had a lot more production from there.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Also let corner Nasehan Wright bail book out in his
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: first year as a starter, sub eighty rate, five picks,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: two forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries, a splash play machine.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Stuck with their other three primary corners, banking on a
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: healthy rebound from Kyler Gordon, who only got in three games,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: and hoping for a whole year from Jalen Johnson who
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: only played seven games. Was solid when he played an
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: iront and a sub ninety right.
• 29:02
  Speaker 12: It's picked up by Jalen Johnson. Judy had it near
• 29:06
  Speaker 12: his hands and Johnson took it away.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: And corner Tyreek Stevenson heads into his fifth year low
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: nineties rate, ten passes defense to pick, only one TD allowed.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: In his third season, He's picked again Tyreke Stevenson and
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: safety Cam Lewis. Former Bill held quarterbacks to a low
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: eighties rate.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Cam Lewis, if they've gone after a few times today
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: was able to jarred loose.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Those fellows could use more help from the boys up front.
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: Cut up it bears football sacks Jo.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Defensive end Montes Sweat did his job as usual. Five
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: passes defensed, ten bags, thirteen tackles for loss.
• 29:46
  Speaker 10: He gets around him quicker this time gets to miss
• 29:49
  Speaker 10: of Rudolph knocks.
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: The ball out.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Got some help from d T. Gervon Dexter from five
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: sacks in twenty twenty four to a career high half
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: dozen in twenty twenty five, his third year.
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: Dexter, He's gonna get up.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Defensive end Austin Booker flashed a few games in his
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: second season, four and a half sacks in just ten games.
• 30:08
  Speaker 12: In trouble again, he escapes for the moment Sanders sacked
• 30:12
  Speaker 12: once more.
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: Austin Booker with the sick to end it.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: And that was kind of it. Defensive tackle Grady Jarrett
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: thirty nine tackles, one and a half sacks, fourteen games,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: four starts. Defensive end Die o'dingbo eight games, one Sack
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: and Cairo Santo's when they don't finish a good drive
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: twenty five for thirty on field goal tries. Not quite
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: the lock he was compared to years past.
• 30:39
  Speaker 7: As God God God for forty eight.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: So here's what the front seven looks like. Sweat Odeingbo
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: and Booker off the edge. Need Booker or Dio to
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: break out. Jarrett and Dexter in the middle again Edwards
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: with Bush behind them. Bush takes Edmund's place. Nu look
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: to their secondary deinem In, Bryant and Lewis for Gardner, Johnson,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Byered and Brisker. Three corners all the same. Johnson Gordon
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: hoping for a full year alongside Stevenson and the playmakers
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: on offense, Raymond and Thomas filling the void left by
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: the more trade rest no different than twenty twenty five.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Caleb working with Odoonsay, Burden, Loveland, Swift, and Monongai. Chicago
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: has a nine and a half over under label, in
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: part because of their schedule, not as much the roster.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: They have the sixth hardest expected twenty twenty six slate. Basically,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: you look at their opponents twenty twenty six expected win
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: totals not an exact science, but better than simply looking
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: at what everybody did the year before, being every roster
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: is different. Now, let's pretend we're moderate Bill Swerski super fans,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: be realistic about their ceiling but overly optimistic at the
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: same time. Wins over Carolina, Minnesota, Philadelphia because hey, they
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: beat them last year, so why not again. The Jets
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: lost to Green Bay at Lambeau be Atlanta and New England,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, New Orleans, Jacksonville at Home, Miami, Green Bay
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: and Detroit at the Crib and Sweet Minnesota. That's thirteen wins.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: What's in the bag? In their case, what's in the
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: bag not brains. But I think Caleb will complete more
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: passes and that will mitigate the tough slate and by
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: them at least ten wins. Green Bay is starting to
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: test the Beatles. All you need is love theory. Maybe
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Jordan could use a little help, because with a little
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: help from a friend or two, maybe it will all
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: finally come together for the Packers. In twenty twenty six,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: the pack stuck with Matt laflora head coach. He's stuck
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: with O c Adams Stenovich to the tun to the fifteenth,

  Speaker 1: Jen Watson and they stuck with most of the band
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: members that made up their twenty twenty four offense.
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: Bo's meddle, what up and there's a touchdown.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Jordan Love has seen his TD total dip back to
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: back years thirty two and twenty twenty three, down to
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: twenty three last year's great packs, but he did cut
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: down on the I iNTS, only six last season.
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: Watch out of the total catches made. It's a touchdown, put.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Up a plus one hundred on the Rake scale.
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: Love looking to throw end zone left side.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: A healthy seven to seven yards per pass attempt.
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: Lovey babble from moment now lost it right side of
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: the end zone.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: Watson leaping crab side side and I'll touch dumb catch
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: Christian Watson mile.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Mile mid Green Bay believes in him, but they need
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: more from him and the offense they take. Being second
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: on third down again.
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: Loft it over the middle end zone, touch down.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: And only two teams had fewer turnovers his right side
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: coming back.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: Forward, making the Cats tuck our craft II Baily, I
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: shot my wife, my daughter, I love very much, a
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: move school.
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: I love her.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: But they still only averaged twenty three a game. Middle
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: of the packing yards per game.
• 34:07
  Speaker 9: Two they've bubbled a snap picked up by Emmanuel Wilson
• 34:11
  Speaker 9: and his Pears football.
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: They take over with a chance to win.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Cheesehead o line left tackle Rashid Walker's out allowed a
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: team high seven sacks. We'll move Jordan Morgan over from
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: guard blind dealt with quite a few injuries last year.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Pressure rate allowed wasn't great, but only taking twenty nine
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: sacks seventh fewest is a win they'd take again in
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six.
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: It's the tackle of the five, no goal, not a
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: bounce for the Packer quarterback.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Packers pass catchers. Still no true WR one emerge, but
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: a tight end one did.
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: It's not just tight end's day extended to the night.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: And then got hurt. Tucker Kraft, hoping to rebound from
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: an injury shortened the year three.
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: Got Tucker Craft cuts down.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Seven hundred yards seven touchdowns in twenty twenty four, and
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: then was on pace to have a gronk Lie gear
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: when he went down six tds and close to five
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: hundred yards in just eight games.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: Got us then cutting left to the five to the ends,
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: Tucker three night touchdown Green batman.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: His backup Luke Muskrave, with a little over two hundred
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: and fifty yards, has shown to be a capable backup
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: type thus far in his three years. Christian Watson, the
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: guy who feels like he could be a Numero Uno type.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: An easy throw that time for Jordan Love put a touchdown.
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: Good call by Matt Lafloor.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Come on here, over six hundred yards, six scores in
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: just ten games.
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: Lit a fire in the middle. He's got Watson ten
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: of the five to the ends touchdown.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: Green Bay Packers question Watson once he cut it, he
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: would not be denied.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: A full year at that pace, and his stash sheet
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: would have looked pretty impressive.
• 35:54
  Speaker 7: And he's gone touchtop Green Guy.
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: Packers.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: They hoped Matthew Golden would be that guy. Over three
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: hundred and sixty yards in his first year.
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: You talk about run after the catch one one.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: They were hoping for more, though, if you won't have
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: to compete with Romeo Dobbs for targets this year out
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: the door after leading the team in receptions with the
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: career high seven hundred and twenty four yards, also slammed
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: a six pack of tds.
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: GIRs what shot downs right open touchdown? Held up? Packers
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: plot it open no more?
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Dontevian Wicks either traded him off a three hundred and
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: thirty two yard year.
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: And a touchdown touchdown. Green Bay Packers.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Still have Jaden Reed, another guy who can be a
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: difference maker if he can stay healthy. Only played seven
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: games last season.
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: Looks bluff what shot Dydan Ray touchdown? Green Bay Packers.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: On handoffs, Josh Jacobs comes off a thousand plus yard
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: scrimmage yards year. He was on the team in receptions
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: with thirty six.
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: Ah beautiful throw for a touchdown.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Nine hundred and twenty nine yards on the ground.
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: Josh Jacobs with a blast.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Eight o five. His low sixteen fifty three is high
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: in his seven years in the NFL.
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: Josh Jacobs just would not be denied.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Thirteen tds in twenty twenty five.
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: Who else in the red zone but Josh Jacobs.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Twelve plus rushing touchdowns three of his last four years.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: We'll have a new backup. Emmanuel Wilson departed close to
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: five hundred yards coming off the bench most games. Filled
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: in nicely when Jacobs was hurt too.
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: And Wilson slips throw in scores to give Green Bay.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: The LEAs still a very young group in general, but
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: they need the fruit to ripen Already defensive side of
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: things was a mixed bag in twenty twenty four.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: Dominnic the bil Dominic the lottest Grimmens third effect what
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: who go hey?
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: Dop ecko three two.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Three former Colts DC than Arizona head coach Jonathan Gannon
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: brought into tidy up. Maybe create a few more turnovers
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: only fourteen last year propos.
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: Then it's funded, and I believe Green Bays got it.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Play the red zone tougher twenty first a year ago, black.
• 38:19
  Speaker 7: By Lovelt to the two, to the one to the
• 38:22
  Speaker 7: end zone.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Still Packers held teams to twenty one a game, twelve
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: fewust yards per game shot Daniel stepped up. Daniels test
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: set held passing attacks to less than one hundred and
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: ninety five yards per game, quarterbacks to a nice low
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: six to four per attempt fifth lowest.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: Winston sets throws left side of the ends of better accepted.
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: Better accepted by the kid.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: Oh Evan Williams delivers in the left corner of the ANSA.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: It would like to finish QB's off more often with
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: their pass rush twentieth in sacks, sew up the.
• 38:58
  Speaker 7: Death and about get.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: But it wasn't a lack of trying. They had the
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: ninth highest pressure rate.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: And he's sacked for the sixth time today and the
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: third time by Mike Cup Parsons.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: And they played the run respectably, holding runners to four.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Want to carry it is the running back and down
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: he goes. So you can see some good within there,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: some bad within there.
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: Truss up by what you all right?
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: It don't overthink they were an above average group, but
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: better than that. When Micah is on the field.
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: Conface head and sacked he's head and sacked my Cup
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: Parsons again, two and a half sacks for Parsons today.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Parsons fourteen games and a few of those were limited
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: snap counts. Twelve and a half sacks.
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: We have an elephant in the room and its name
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: is Michaeh Parson.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: He'll have all the talking heads asking the same questions.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: When's he going to be ready? Will he be the
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: same old Parsons when he is?
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: Pussy's chasing persons gets me he's dead by content.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Won't be partnered with Rashawn Gary this time around off
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: to Dallas off a seven and a half sack year.
• 40:05
  Speaker 10: Placo has time, Flaco is sacked, had time at all
• 40:10
  Speaker 10: kinds of time.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: Gary and Vennes eventually got home and brought him down.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Of the twenty defensive end Kingsley and Igbari also bounced
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: seventeen games, thirty nine tackles, two sacks, so more opportunity
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: for defensive end Lucas van Ness nine games, two starts,
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: one and a half sacks. They also had to make
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: do without defensive tackle Davonte Wyatt for seven games.
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: Under pressure, He's head and sacked.
• 40:34
  Speaker 7: Wow Defante Wyatt.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: He made it home four times in those ten games
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: he played.
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: There your dagger delivered by defuncte Wyatt.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: He'll be next to newcomer Javon Hargrave Vet with over
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: fifty tackles for the Vikings and twenty twenty five three
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: and a half bags back to pass Hey sacked.
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: They finally sacked Caleb.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: Williams also picked up Chris mcclach in with their third
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: round picking the draft.
• 41:02
  Speaker 10: Absolute outstanding size and length that he brings to the
• 41:05
  Speaker 10: table over thirty four inch arms had the five sacks.
• 41:08
  Speaker 10: You can see him as a pass rusher. He's got
• 41:10
  Speaker 10: that club rip move. He's got a little hump mobile
• 41:13
  Speaker 10: power move.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: You see it right there, trying to club guys.
• 41:16
  Speaker 10: And then when you watch him at the point of
• 41:17
  Speaker 10: attack in the run game, a little more stack and peak,
• 41:20
  Speaker 10: just kind of stack blocks and then try and find
• 41:22
  Speaker 10: the football.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: Defensive tackle. Carl Brooks at twenty eight tackles seven starts.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: Colby Wooden gone made fifty tackles, six tackles for Lossy.
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: You'll let nobody walk your long career with darted boom Hey,

  Speaker 1: Kway Walker at linebackers career high one hundred and twenty
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: eight tackles last year, two and a half sacks for
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: the second year in a row.

• 41:54
  Speaker 1: twenty five wrap ups last year plus two sacks, one
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five plus tackles four seas and straight.
• 42:00
  Speaker 12: But he's on the what's on pecks and Sire Franklin
• 42:05
  Speaker 12: comes up huge on this driving over time.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: Eddrin Cooper trending in the right direction from eighty seven
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: tackles as a rookie to one eighteen in his year two.
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: You're dom Don with us sat back outside the thirty
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: arc life a light on the scene.
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: I drank Cooper? What's also there?
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: And Isaiah McDuffie eighty five plus tackles for the third
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: year in a row ninety two last season the better letter?
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: Accept it? Hi, Siah mcduffey.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: How does Green Bay have the best safety duo? Just asking?
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Evan Williams one hundred tackles and three iron t's as.
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: A rookie from the shotgun, here's the snap that Jared
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: goff quick for the right side. Yes, yes, duping intercepted
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: for the Green Bay Packers and Van Williams.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: Ex still marks the spot and still spots the marks,
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: I'm told. Thankfully McKinney made second team All Pro because
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: how exactly he does a guy who held quarterbacks to
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: a forty rate had nine passes defense, two iron t's,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: one hundred plus tackles not make the Pro Bowl?
• 43:08
  Speaker 12: Looking for Judy and it's intercepted Savior McKinney.
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: What's next? Bill Belichick not making the Hall of Fame?
• 43:16
  Speaker 9: Wait?
• 43:17
  Speaker 5: What accepted? Intercepted? Savior mckitny corner.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Keishawn Nixon, on the other hand, did make the Pro
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: Bowl despite allowing a rate over one hundred, giving up
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: seven touchdowns according to Next Gen Stats, had a late
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: season fade on some level.
• 43:31
  Speaker 7: Catch made touchdown Bears.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: Yes, Kishawn made the Pro Bowl as an alternate, and
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: he did knock down seventeen passes. Looked especially strong early,
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: had the iconic game winning pick versus Caleb and the Bears.
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: That are set up a leaping interception by Keishawn Nixon.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Hen there is your dagger corner. Carrington Valentine matched Nixon,
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: allowing seven touchdowns in his third season. Look at what
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: he did, hold his targets to a fifty four percent
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: completion rate was eighty one percent the year before, So
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: there was progress mixed in there.
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: Jack brod it is plucking out and the play made
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: by Valentine.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: Defensive back Javon Bullard made strides in his second year.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: Great against not great, but he played a lot in
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: the slot, which tends to be as much about limiting
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: catches to short yards. He made eighty three tackles and
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: only allowed one touchdown all year.
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: Well came loose. Question is was it a catch, Javon
• 44:32
  Speaker 5: Bullard gathered it.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: In and nabbed Brandon Sisa with their second round pick.
• 44:37
  Speaker 10: Because he's got legit, legit speed. You want to see
• 44:39
  Speaker 10: him be a little more consistent with his hands. When
• 44:42
  Speaker 10: he uses his hands and pressed, he can be outstanding.
• 44:44
  Speaker 10: You see him with his hands real low. Here'd like
• 44:46
  Speaker 10: to see him land those hands. Reroute guys a little
• 44:48
  Speaker 10: more consistently. But he's been so athletic and he's so
• 44:51
  Speaker 10: fast he's been able to cover up for it. A
• 44:53
  Speaker 10: real fluid, smooth mover.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: You see the ability to plant and drive on balls.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: So the secondary looks this way. Starting five should be
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: the same. Nixon, McKenny, Williams, Valentine and Bullard all back,
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: SISA and former charger Benjamin Saint justs in the mix
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: at corner as well. Front seven with three new faces
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: who should see action. Hargrave replacing Wooden in the trenches,
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: McClellan in there as well. Van Ness gets a chance
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: at more starting Gary's place, Franklin for Walker at inside linebacker.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: On offense, Golden should get starters reps with Dobbs gone,
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: but everybody else they're counting on was with the team
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: last year, Watson and Reid hoping for full seasons as
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: his craft Love at quarterback with Jacobs behind him. Jordan
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: Love has won nine games three years in a row.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: In theory, their schedule isn't hard or easy. Their expected
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: strengthen schedule, ie what their opponents projected win totals are
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: is middle of the pack. As middle of the pack
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: gets okay, Let's pretend Tom Grossi threw on his cheesehead
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: and was feeling super optimistic about his team season. They
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: would rip off six straight to start with wins over Minnesota,
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: the Jets, the Falcons, the Bucks, Chicago, and Dallas at home,
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: before taking a road loss to Detroit, then a win
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: over Carolina, a lost to New England since it's on
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: the road, beat Minnesota, New Orleans, Miami sweep Chicago, beat
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: Houston and Detroit at home, placing their theoretical ceiling at
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: thirteen games. I don't wear cheese on my head, just
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: this bag. I'm not an official member of the grassy posse.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: Otherwise I'd go with eleven wins. Tom is too smart
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: to let game preview guy into the club. I wouldn't either,
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: so out of bitterness, I'll go with the under fourteen
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: hundred and one yards. That's eleven hundred plus four straight
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: and so on's on and Rock got him ten plus
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: tds three straight.
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: I'm in Rock, same two three times today.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: One hundred plus catches four straight pro bowler four straight.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: Jared takes the snat back looking broing middle.
• 46:59
  Speaker 7: God, I'm inside the two to the one to the
• 47:02
  Speaker 7: end zone touchdown.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: Detroit Lion Jameson Williams comes off a career year.
• 47:06
  Speaker 5: You know I'll be player four years. That's my first
• 47:09
  Speaker 5: set down in ITZO.

  Speaker 7: Really really to get you a wait, good night figured out.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: It's like Randy haw I Thi two.

• 47:31
  Speaker 1: They have a big five on offense that rivals Scooby
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: dues twenty god.
• 47:35
  Speaker 7: By Jamo fifteen what rights over touchdown to touchdown? Once
• 47:40
  Speaker 7: I seen murder with you want to say it's Sudow
• 47:43
  Speaker 7: we go.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Tight end Sam Laporta was on pace for a huge
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: third year, but lost eight games to injury.
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: What a play by Sam Laporta right over the defender's head.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, close to five hundred yards in nine games.
• 47:57
  Speaker 12: Got a complete Laporta twenty Laporta fifteen, spinning at the tenth,

  Speaker 1: how about a half dozen tds as a rookie offs.
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: The right side wants tesla, does he make a one
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: handed chess cal Don't you tell me he did that?
• 48:31
  Speaker 5: All rookie? You are something else.
• 48:33
  Speaker 7: Legs two catchers one hand right here.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know what gets inteview gets in one area
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: they feel like they can improve in year over year.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: Their o line, play.
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: Back look at Golf of trouble, Getta get.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: Sacked and the thrown to the turf. Injuries factored, of course,
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: but not enough to explain the drop off. Got a
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: wan a little bit more Penny Sewell openly took responsibility
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: for the group not playing up to its standard and
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: they allowed thirty nine sacks and the higher than average
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: pressure rate.
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: He's having sacked my cup Parsons again two and a
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: half sacks.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: Sewell is moving to left tackle this year. They cut
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: it off with Taylor Decker, drafted Blake Miller in the
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: first round. Demand the right side.
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: How about the comparison there. It's gonna be the guy
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: that he's replacing at Taylor Decker, just on the opposite side.
• 49:25
  Speaker 10: They're gonna flip him over to the right side and
• 49:27
  Speaker 10: cover up speed he's at I think is at lit.
• 49:29
  Speaker 10: Some did surprise some people at the combine. I wasn't
• 49:32
  Speaker 10: too worried about it, but you eased all those concerns there.
• 49:35
  Speaker 10: He's got instincts. He sees things clearly on the edge.
• 49:38
  Speaker 10: You want to try and run games. You can pick
• 49:39
  Speaker 10: that off.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: And here's some of the nastiness.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: They're also gonna roll with a new center, Kate May's
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: former Panther, Juice Scrugs, former Texan the Options taking Graham
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: Glasgow's spot who gave up five sacks. Kate Rutledge, Christian
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: Mahogany at guard. He only got an eleven games in
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five ahead of his third year, so some
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: tinkering re acquired to the offensive side of things.
• 50:02
  Speaker 5: No one's coming up, save us make some plays.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: Let's go more room for growth on the defensive side.
• 50:08
  Speaker 5: It's another unperforming man. Play brother played, but he's mad man.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: They gave up twenty four a game fires to the
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: end zone, touchdown eighteenth and yards per game allowed match
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: down and way too generous in the red zone. It
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: is cut the injury. Voodoo Doll was alive and well again,
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: hurting their secondary more than any other unit. A one
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: hands a cat gave up a ninety two rating to quarterbacks,
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: seven point three yards per attempt allowed and eleven point
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: eight per completion. Only four teams gave up more.
• 50:41
  Speaker 5: Parkinson his second score of the day.
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: Corner Amik Robertson is out gave up a team high ATDs.
• 50:48
  Speaker 5: That's time initially great, oh deep down the right side.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: And corner Rocky Scene the only other dB to play
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: all seventeen games for them in twenty twenty five. He
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: fared much better than Robertson, holding his targets to a
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: low eighties rate, knocked down nine passes too at the forty.
• 51:07
  Speaker 5: Eight yard line. After review the defender head let us
• 51:13
  Speaker 5: up the pack.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: Everybody else in their dB room missed at least three games.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: Bryan Branch played twelve games. Hard to say when he'll
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: be recovered from his torn achilles has that edge to
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: his game. Perfect Detroit baller Oi Prescott.
• 51:27
  Speaker 5: Look, but he had busted out a pocket over to
• 51:29
  Speaker 5: his life.
• 51:30
  Speaker 7: Brows the ferguson at the fifty and he's going to
• 51:32
  Speaker 7: be taking bad well. Shortly pay a pocket to twent Lions.
• 51:37
  Speaker 7: They punched it out of there and the Lions are
• 51:39
  Speaker 7: on top of it.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: Corner DJ Reid only eleven games played, low eighties rate
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: when he was on the field. Seven passes, defense, two picks.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: It's what they hoped for when they signed him, and
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: hoped for again with more.
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: Games logged, d J Reid, that's his moment.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: Safety Kirby Joseph making his way back from a bad
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: knee injury. Six games played in twenty twenty five. I've
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: still picked off three passes in that short span.
• 52:03
  Speaker 9: Hit I'm gonna go down literally rolls to the right
• 52:06
  Speaker 9: and ross down field.
• 52:07
  Speaker 5: Bick come my Cordy Joseph. Joseph put the dobby in
• 52:10
  Speaker 5: their tout.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: Vet safety Thomas Harper made nine starts in his absence,
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: and vet safety of Vonte Maddox filled in nicely, holding
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: things down to a nice low seventies rating.
• 52:20
  Speaker 5: Blood it ripped. DJ Moore is down there. Hedotage accepted
• 52:24
  Speaker 5: by Vonte Maddox in the end zone.
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: If they can just avoid the blue tenth this year,
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: they should revert back to form and then.
• 52:31
  Speaker 5: Some Now he's gonna get hit. That is another big
• 52:34
  Speaker 5: play by that Lion's defense.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: Because their pass rush with forty nine sacks total fourth most.
• 52:40
  Speaker 7: Gonna get hit. Wut to go down sacked and the
• 52:42
  Speaker 7: ball down.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: Leading the way of course, Aiden Hutchinson going nice.
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: Seven, It's be great.
• 52:47
  Speaker 5: Let's go, buddy, It'll be great.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: Let's go with a career high fourteen and a half
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: sacks last years head tall couch loose got it to
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: cover by the Lions thirty five qb hits fourteen towns
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: for lock picked.
• 53:01
  Speaker 7: Up by eight mutches down right side, punches into the down.
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: To the twenty and he's taken down from behind at
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: the sixteen yard line.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: Kind of dude, who could rack twenty plus, but won't
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: get help from defensive end al Kladin Muhammad again eleven
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: sacks a year ago.
• 53:18
  Speaker 5: Look at that he goes Wellhamed.
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: That's three for him to eleven sacks in twenty twenty five,
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: fourteen combined in his first seven years, so they weren't
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: buying it. They replaced him with Derek Moore, who they
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: picked up in the second round.
• 53:34
  Speaker 10: About the power and the bull rush that he possesses,
• 53:37
  Speaker 10: you see it from every single game.
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: He's going to test your brakes.
• 53:40
  Speaker 10: He's gonna put his hands on your chest and he's
• 53:43
  Speaker 10: going to try and run you right back to the quarterback.
• 53:45
  Speaker 5: And then if he gets to an edge, he's just gonna.
• 53:47
  Speaker 13: Pry open that outside shoulder and flatten him a fit
• 53:51
  Speaker 13: and they added dj one him only seven sacks in
• 53:54
  Speaker 13: his two years in Carolina, had two eight sack campaigns
• 53:58
  Speaker 13: with Minnesota.
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: In his for four years, though he ran backwards and.
• 54:02
  Speaker 5: Back into the pressure sack by low.
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: Their interior guys didn't shot much, but their linebackers blitzed
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: their way to plenty of bags. Jack Campbell living up
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: to his first round status with the first team All
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: Pro year career best one hundred and seventy six tackles,
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: second most in the NFL last year, a career high
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: five sacks.
• 54:22
  Speaker 7: You gotta get hit, gotta go down sack. Jack Campbell
• 54:26
  Speaker 7: got him his e in the end zone.
• 54:28
  Speaker 5: Tell me boys, that's a safety.
• 54:30
  Speaker 7: Put two on the board for Detroit.
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: Derek Barnes also had his best year as a pro
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: seventy eight tackles, four QB takedowns, six tackles for loss,
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: and a pick.
• 54:41
  Speaker 5: That is a safety. Derek Barnes back home and making
• 54:45
  Speaker 5: himself at home.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: Won't have alex Anzeloni's services anymore though. Ninety five plus
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: tackles three of the last four years, two and a
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: half sacks in twenty twenty five, eight passes defense and
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: a Pickstine.
• 54:57
  Speaker 4: Pickoff alex Anzelona put back left side.
• 55:00
  Speaker 5: It's only inside the thirty five. Inside the thirty every
• 55:02
  Speaker 5: runs out of bouts the twenty nine.
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: It would help if those guys could get to ball
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: carriers a little sooner. They gave up four to four
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: a carry on the ground last year.
• 55:10
  Speaker 5: He's got a hold. Hevery did the try more changes.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: They let defensive tackle DJ Reider walk seventeen games twenty
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: eight tackles. Dt Eli McNeil fourteen tackles and ten games.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: Rookie defensive tackle Tyleek Williams eighteen tackles seventeen games, ten starts.
• 55:26
  Speaker 5: We good after the raft Herman maun.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: Jake Bates, looking to remaster his craft. Did lead the
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: NFL on extra points and extra point attempts for the
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: second year in a row, fifty four for fifty six
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: there a year ago, but he missed seven field goals,
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: five were from fifty plus out, so needs to work
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: on his long ballstroke a little.
• 55:46
  Speaker 4: It is good the Lions winning on the final play
• 55:49
  Speaker 4: of the game, so a couple of new faces added
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: to the front seven more and Wanham in place of
• 55:55
  Speaker 4: Muhammed at d end, hoping they can play the star
• 55:58
  Speaker 4: ski for Hutch Willilliams McNeil sandwiched in between Campbell Barnes
• 56:03
  Speaker 4: and Malcolm Rodriguez behind them.
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: Malcolm only seven games played last year, stepping into Anzelonei's
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: starting spot. The secondary a lot hinges on when Kirby
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: and Branch are going to be ready to go. They
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: signed Roger McCreary at corner was with LA and Tennessee
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: last year, played the pass well after he got traded
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: to the Rams and the action he got in. They
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: also added former Buccaneer Christian Izzian and former Steeler Chuck
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: Clark for safety depth. Both guys were backups last year,
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: both with starters experience prior to that. The playmaker's room
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: almost the same as last year, but Checko from Montgomery
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: the only change. Goff, Gibbs, Saint Brown, Jamo, Tesla, and
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: Laporta all back. No reason they shouldn't keep putting up
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: digits with that group. Detroit has been tabbed as one
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: of the top rebound candidates. Thus, they're ten and a
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: half over under Marker, which is tops in the NFC
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: North and second highest of any team. That's tied to
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: the fact they have the easiest twenty twenty six schedule
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: in all the land. If you go off their opponents
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six expected win totals and here those are
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: even if they lose to Buffalo and maybe in Chicago
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: and Green Bay since they're supposed to be tough, that's
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: a fourteen win season. It is, in fact a very
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: favorable slate, especially with that offense. In turn, it makes
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: it easy for them to earn a game preview Guy
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: seal of approval on an eleven plus win year
