Strictly Bias with Will Retherford: NFL Week 6 Reaction (2.60.1) · The Central Indiana Sports Report

0:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome back everybody to strictly bias with yours truly will rather for we are out here tonight.
0:15
[SPEAKER_00]: This might be the most pleasant Tuesday evening in October I've ever experienced in my life we are at the creek side chat to a little change from stage 22 but I'm here with an
0:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll keep it short, I know you just heard it just got revealed, but I have an incredibly special guest, and he needs nothing more than the legend, Greg Mendel is here.
0:36
[SPEAKER_00]: But you got to the legend, girl.
0:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, you have been talking a lot about how I go on too long.
0:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I like to give you a great introduction to show, just how great you are for the central Indian sports report, but we are just blessed to be here tonight.
0:48
[SPEAKER_00]: As I said, it just doesn't get a whole lot better than this.
0:51
[SPEAKER_00]: This is what we six of it being absolutely perfect weather when we're recording the show.
0:56
[SPEAKER_01]: The weather since, I don't know, mid-August has been incredible, and it makes me think this winter is going to be off.
1:03
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to get humbled, but we're going to enjoy it now while we can.
1:06
[SPEAKER_00]: I think only a couple more weeks probably being able to sit outside and do this show, but here we are.
1:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Ready to bring it to all of you.
1:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I have really enjoyed doing this new show, this season.
1:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Greg, I have a lot to say tonight, but first what do you want to know?
1:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I know you're going to have a lot to say about what I'm going to ask you and well your thoughts and I know deep inside you feel redeemed by your opinions on what's going on there, your thoughts on the situation in Nashville.
1:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I will start off by prefacing the fact that Brian Callahan was potentially the most inept head coach I have ever watched in my entire life.
1:49
[SPEAKER_00]: He looked completely lost, basically, any opportunity he was given.
1:53
[SPEAKER_00]: He was a horrible hire.
1:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Mike Raeble should have never been fired, and I think this goes beyond just Brian Callahan's ineptness and goes really to the institution of the Tennessee Titans.
2:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's a poor ownership group.
2:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think they have any creative vision as to what they want their team to be.
2:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they hired a guy that had no business being an NFL head coach.
2:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think he was particularly great as the offensive coordinator.
2:19
[SPEAKER_00]: on a team that he wasn't even calling a place for, but how many times do we have to go on this carousel of firing an NFL head coach after we draft a quarterback with the first overall pick?
2:31
[SPEAKER_00]: This is now the fourth straight time.
2:35
[SPEAKER_00]: that an NFL head coach has gotten fired after the season that the team drafted a quarterback number one Trevor Lawrence, Bryce Young, Caleb Williams, and now Cam Ward.
2:46
[SPEAKER_00]: They're ruining these quarterbacks.
2:47
[SPEAKER_00]: It's organizational and aptitude.
2:49
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no vision.
2:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Why are we drafting a quarterback number one if we're not confident that the head coach is going to be the guy with him throughout the entire year?
2:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Why are we firing him when our team is horrible?
3:01
[SPEAKER_00]: We knew it was
3:03
[SPEAKER_00]: We had them every one day for a reason and we're going to have it again probably because they're that bad.
3:08
[SPEAKER_00]: It just baffles me how people prop up the NFL is like, oh, we've got a bunch of geniuses making ideas and the longer.
3:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, when they went all the time, you get on TV, you get on TV, and everybody's so high on everyone.
3:24
[SPEAKER_00]: We love everyone and I'll just come out and say the NFL is full of a lot of dumbasses.
3:28
[SPEAKER_01]: By the same teams went over and over because the rest of the teams are done.
3:31
[SPEAKER_00]: And until that changes where you actually have smart people running these football operations, nothing will ever change.
3:39
[SPEAKER_00]: And I couldn't happen to a better organization because
3:42
[SPEAKER_00]: They made a really big mistake by firing Mike Raeble and now they're lost again and searching for direction and I don't know what he becomes now because we've seen this tale what is Bryce young become I'm not sure what is Caleb Williams he actually looks pretty good so I'll give him that Trevor Lawrence has been.
4:02
[SPEAKER_00]: admirable.
4:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm I think he may have came into the worst situation in NFL history with that team with what urban Meyer was and he's been two of the three quarterbacks look like they're NFL starters and one I think probably is I think Bryce Young's.
4:18
[SPEAKER_00]: a decent quarterback.
4:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think he's great.
4:20
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't care back.
4:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if he's good, but he's he's going to have a quarterback.
4:25
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to have a career, but I would like to finish off by saying that until the NFL decides that we want to have a direction and we are comfortable,
4:34
[SPEAKER_00]: in the idea of staying true to what we believe when we draft these quarterbacks number one, whether it be starting them day one, whether it be sitting them behind a backup, whether it be maybe a little mix of both, where we sit them behind a backup for the first eight weeks of the year, and then the last eight weeks we give them the runway and say, go prove why you're the number one draft pick.
4:52
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think expecting these quarterbacks have just come out and be generational,
4:59
[SPEAKER_00]: the first green light that they're given it's just ineptitude and it's why you've seen career resurgence from four or five quarterbacks that were written off in the last two years.
5:09
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's all I have to say, but at a top 10, 15 coaching the NFL without question heightens full of dipshits and they will continue to run that franchise into the ground that now a lot of Nashville's great, but well, it's not whatever.
5:24
[SPEAKER_00]: It's an Tennessee sucks.
5:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, we'll, we wanna win and save the losers of the week.
5:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, we'll, we wanna win and save the losers of the week.
5:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, we'll, we wanna win and save the losers of the week.
5:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, we'll, we wanna win and save the losers of the week.
5:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, well before we get to your winners and losers of the week, just want to remind everyone that later this week, maybe Friday, maybe Saturday, we will have your picks for week seven and you are one point behind the lead in our picks competition.
6:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I got hose last night behind you.
6:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
6:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, is that right?
6:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but we have now cleared the obstacle that was produced or Susie.
6:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm her reign was awfully mighty there at the beginning.
6:16
[SPEAKER_00]: that that is absolutely true couldn't do without her but you know water has found its level sheet she had a rough week but I think she's gone bounce back but first time she's face adversity all year so we'll see we'll see the cloth she's cooking on the brush or she told me that this week yeah
6:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's a three horse race, the rest of the way.
6:37
[SPEAKER_00]: We have a long season.
6:38
[SPEAKER_00]: We have a, we have a lot of gap between us and fourth.
6:42
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a long season.
6:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, so I can get every pick right one.
6:45
[SPEAKER_01]: We can be right there with them.
6:46
[SPEAKER_00]: We're seeing the board awfully well.
6:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Also, I would like to preface the, I know that this is not the college football show, but Greg and I have believed are the only two that are in both that are top five in both.
6:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I didn't know that.
6:58
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm, I'm way, way in the bottom of the high school picks.
7:05
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to start with losers because we want to talk about winters last.
7:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
7:10
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'll just start quickly.
7:12
[SPEAKER_00]: They won this week, but my number five is the Green Bay Packers.
7:15
[SPEAKER_00]: They just cannot put teams away.
7:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I still think they're good.
7:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I still think we're going to hear from them in the end.
7:20
[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm not sure anymore.
7:21
[SPEAKER_00]: You just see this a lot in teams that do not fare well in the postseason.
7:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they'll get to the playoffs.
7:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I really do.
7:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I, they have shown that they are a really capable offense.
7:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
7:32
[SPEAKER_00]: They, they've won by two scores in every win, but they just let teams hang on.
7:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Like they're kicking a field and go with 30 seconds left and then giving them the ball back.
7:40
[SPEAKER_00]: That bingles game was a one score game.
7:42
[SPEAKER_00]: The Browns, they, they were up 10 and had three minutes left to go in the fourth quarter.
7:48
[SPEAKER_00]: They tied to the Cowboys, the commanders, they scored one by nine on Thursday night football.
7:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
7:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
7:55
[SPEAKER_00]: They're they're winning through the run game.
7:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Jacob's has been worth all the money you've paid them.
7:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the defense is still a work on progress.
8:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not overly concerned, but they just need to be able to put bad teams away.
8:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Something we've seen out of our Indianapolis Colts.
8:08
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's a character flaw that I don't like.
8:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Number four.
8:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Washington, not doing 20 push-ups.
8:16
[SPEAKER_00]: They fumble the game away and they absolutely screw me out of taking the lead through six weeks at baffling.
8:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I was sitting on the couch just, wow, that is crazy.
8:26
[SPEAKER_00]: To be fair, the bears, I'm glad that Jane Daniels handed them another win.
8:30
[SPEAKER_00]: It was great.
8:32
[SPEAKER_00]: He performed pretty well.
8:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I would say he did have three turnovers.
8:36
[SPEAKER_00]: That is a blemish definitely.
8:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought that they could not run the ball effectively with Krosky Mayor at all.
8:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I just think that Run game was vanilla.
8:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Their outside sweeps were not effective.
8:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought their inside zone game worked a lot better.
8:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that Crosskey Merit works better in between the tackles.
8:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Last year was smoke and mirrors made possible by a once in a lifetime rookie season.
9:02
[SPEAKER_00]: The backfield by Committees got to go.
9:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Like Bill Crosskey Mayor is their best back without question.
9:07
[SPEAKER_00]: They have got to find a way to work him in third downs.
9:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you've got to get your most talented player on the field as much as possible.
9:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Do we really want Chris Rodriguez taking snaps away from a guy that can literally score touch on the play?
9:21
[SPEAKER_00]: No, get rid of it.
9:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Use him as your bell cow, not to the extent of Jonathan Taylor, but he needs to be on the field with a snap share well over 60%.
9:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I think for this team to continue to be effective.
9:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Number three, the Cleveland Browns have not scored more than 18 points in almost 11 months.
9:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Their defense continues to look competitive.
9:45
[SPEAKER_00]: With only 22, well, more than 22 points given up in four of their six games, a couple of those were rough losses, Ravens, and that's field position stuff to agree.
9:56
[SPEAKER_00]: They're often slacked in your creativity for the most
10:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I have no idea how Kevin Stephansky still has a job.
10:04
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I missed two time coaching the year man.
10:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.
10:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, awesome.
10:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm glad he wrote on the coattails of an incredible defense.
10:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Joe Flacco caught fire there the last six weeks of the season.
10:14
[SPEAKER_00]: He came in.
10:15
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a good defense and a good offensive line.
10:17
[SPEAKER_01]: You can have a good team no matter who he is.
10:19
[SPEAKER_00]: They're just super ineffective in both the past game and the run game.
10:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say Harold Fayne and Jr.
10:24
[SPEAKER_00]: They're tied and they drafted in the third round, match and guy, give it to me.
10:28
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a bright spot as a rookie.
10:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that he's going to be a very good tied into team that had David and Joe Koo.
10:34
[SPEAKER_00]: They like Harold Fayne a little bit more.
10:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure Dylan Gabriel's a guy, I'm not sure he isn't yet really though either.
10:40
[SPEAKER_00]: He's probably a really good backup, not sure he's an NFL starter.
10:46
[SPEAKER_00]: 57.3% 3 touchdowns, no interceptions.
10:48
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just very gestant of fields without their running to me.
10:51
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not going to probably turn the ball over at time, but he's also just not going to make the plays that are needed to be consistently a winning football team.
10:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Number two, I'm sure my cuts will love to hear this Philadelphia Eagles.
11:02
[SPEAKER_00]: They continue to struggle so much offensively.
11:04
[SPEAKER_00]: AJ Brown, one year in his career under 1,000 yards.
11:08
[SPEAKER_00]: He only played 13 games in that year, had over 800 yards.
11:12
[SPEAKER_00]: He is only on pace for 776 yards this season.
11:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Sake Juan Barclay on pace for just over 920 yards following a 2000 yard season last year a season that if you combine regular season and post season he had the most yards and in season ever.
11:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Offensive line just seems to be an issue and that defense looked dramatically different without Jalen Carter.
11:35
[SPEAKER_00]: If he misses any level of significant time, they are in a lot of trouble.
11:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I've never seen a player whose impact was so glaring.
11:42
[SPEAKER_00]: He might be the best defensive player in the NFL right now.
11:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I think so.
11:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Jalen Carter's not let the giant score 34 points.
11:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's put it that way.
11:52
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a mountain, these are man.
11:54
[SPEAKER_00]: And my biggest loser, pun intended for the week, was England.
11:59
[SPEAKER_00]: The Denver versus New York Jets game was perhaps the worst game I have watched live in my 21 years of life.
12:06
[SPEAKER_00]: They had 21st down total between the two teams, which is 7 fewer than the previous worse in an overseas game, which has historically always been two horrible teams.
12:16
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't until 2022, I believe.
12:18
[SPEAKER_01]: They've been losing since 1776, man.
12:21
[SPEAKER_00]: It's unfortunate, but it's just what happens.
12:24
[SPEAKER_01]: So, that's why we do it, we send them our loser games.
12:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe that Giants Packers in 2021 or 2022 is the first game ever overseas with two winning teams.
12:33
[SPEAKER_00]: That's really sad when you kind of think about it just in fields.
12:37
[SPEAKER_00]: 9 for 17 for 45 yards passing with negative 10 net passing yards few a since 1998.
12:44
[SPEAKER_00]: He was sacked a nine times by the Denver Broncos defense, which is awfully dangerous.
12:50
[SPEAKER_00]: The jets are horrible though.
12:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Denver, self-inflicted winds, I believe, is what kept us game close.
12:56
[SPEAKER_00]: They had a couple costly penalties that they could have gotten in the red zone to make this again, they went pretty comfortably.
13:03
[SPEAKER_00]: That did not happen came down to the end.
13:06
[SPEAKER_00]: London, you deserve bad football.
13:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep, I agree with that.
13:09
[SPEAKER_00]: And by the way, that's football.
13:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, oh yeah, don't even get me sorry, I'm not.
13:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Now onto the winters.
13:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Number five, the Los Angeles Chargers.
13:25
[SPEAKER_00]: They went a huge one in Miami.
13:27
[SPEAKER_00]: They have a really tough schedule upcoming and moving to four and two in this situation, crossing three time zones is big.
13:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Just in Herbert once again gets the job done.
13:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I know you may not believe this, but I do.
13:39
[SPEAKER_00]: He is now second to only Patrick Mahomes and fourth quarter comeback since 2020.
13:43
[SPEAKER_00]: He has 18.
13:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
13:47
[SPEAKER_00]: They missed Quentin Johnson a lot and laden McConkey stepped up in his absence.
13:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, McConkey was incredible last year, but this year, Johnson has definitely taken more targets away from him, so it was cool to see a receiver may not be getting the target share he ultimately deserves still staying mentally prepared to win any ballgame.
14:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on, Evadol, he stepped up huge, 124 yards on the ground.
14:11
[SPEAKER_00]: They had a receiving touchdown to go with that.
14:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the chargers defense is still struggling a little bit.
14:17
[SPEAKER_00]: They're offensive line issues are still present a big time.
14:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not convinced that offensive line is good enough to take them to the playoffs.
14:25
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see, obviously, they're going to get a pretty easy one with the cults.
14:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Defensive line this next week.
14:32
[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm confident Jim Harbow, I'm not slapping him in the face anymore.
14:37
[SPEAKER_00]: And to work around the limitations they had, you see the coaching being done.
14:42
[SPEAKER_00]: They were out a lot of players.
14:43
[SPEAKER_00]: They still find a way to get the job done.
14:45
[SPEAKER_00]: And contrary to what you believe, Cameron Dicker is a game changer at the kicker position for the chargers.
14:50
[SPEAKER_01]: There might be one or two who are, I'm not saying that there's no difference.
14:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just saying the difference isn't that big.
14:57
[SPEAKER_00]: He hit five field goals in that game.
15:00
[SPEAKER_00]: If that doesn't tell you anything, I think it should tell you this.
15:03
[SPEAKER_00]: The chargers need to finish drives to be a legit contender if they cannot do that, which has been an issue with that team for a while.
15:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't see this being a supermullier form.
15:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Number four, last night, the Atlanta Falcons.
15:17
[SPEAKER_00]: This team is different Mercedes-Benz, they play way different.
15:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Beigeon had 170 on the ground with a touchdown, 81 yard touchdown run.
15:28
[SPEAKER_00]: He had over 200 scrimmage yards.
15:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Their defense forced to turn over his on Josh Allen, which Allen has been really good at taking care of the ball the last two years.
15:37
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think that is a bright spot for that defense.
15:42
[SPEAKER_00]: they were in his face all night to their front for is definitely improved.
15:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I know they drafted defensive help early in the draft last year that's helped them out significantly.
15:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Last five years they've been a bottom three team in terms of defensive pressures and sacks.
15:58
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think seeing that improve is definitely indicative of where he Morris's culture getting set in Atlanta.
16:07
[SPEAKER_00]: They're three and two.
16:07
[SPEAKER_00]: They look competitive.
16:09
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see where this team ends up in a wide open NFC, but I think that they can definitely compete for a playoff spot.
16:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that they're they're that good.
16:17
[SPEAKER_01]: They defend their own field and you win at Carolina or you
16:21
[SPEAKER_01]: pick off another game or two somewhere on the road you're 9 and 8 or 10 and 7 you've got yourself a shot.
16:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Colts play the Falcons week 9 in Berlin that's a game I'm looking forward to.
16:33
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a game that knows mutual what's yeah yeah you have no idea.
16:36
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope fully it's in a way from home.
16:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah number three the Kansas City Chiefs I know you're probably not going to like them being on the winners you've been.
16:43
[SPEAKER_00]: It should be awfully critical they did look really good on
16:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I can change my mind as quickly as someone can make me change it.
16:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Mahomes for touchdowns, he's back to old Patrick Mahomes.
16:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I think last year was a fluke, he looks really good.
17:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Getting where she rice, back next week is huge.
17:04
[SPEAKER_00]: That might make them the best wider receiver core in Kansas City since Tyree Kill left.
17:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I think with his...
17:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, return to the lineup.
17:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously Xavier were these been really good.
17:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Judges, Mr. Schuster.
17:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's your three.
17:17
[SPEAKER_00]: You're really happy.
17:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously.
17:18
[SPEAKER_00]: They've still got Travis Kelsey, who is on the downside.
17:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Speaking of downside to kill regret going to Miami.
17:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I, it's baffling.
17:27
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's what happens when you chase money over legacy.
17:29
[SPEAKER_00]: It never works.
17:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure he did.
17:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought I think he thought he could do the same thing for Miami.
17:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, there's one glaring difference is that's my homes are But he's a little bit might be that guy.
17:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
17:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, he was wrong and I don't feel bad for him.
17:42
[SPEAKER_01]: He's got a regret it.
17:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
17:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I do.
17:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I like him.
17:45
[SPEAKER_00]: You got paid 30 million.
17:47
[SPEAKER_00]: That's awesome.
17:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm glad you made your money.
17:49
[SPEAKER_00]: And I wouldn't be surprised if Tyrequ was a trade target for the chiefs coming back at the trade agreement.
17:55
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see.
17:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
17:56
[SPEAKER_00]: their defense is situationally a really good they get stops when they need the most.
18:02
[SPEAKER_00]: They look like they're finding their groove offensively.
18:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that makes them really dangerous.
18:06
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm still not sold on their run game.
18:07
[SPEAKER_00]: They're middle of the pack in terms of rush yards per game.
18:11
[SPEAKER_00]: My homes has been a heavy chunk of that, which I, you know, really want him running around a ton.
18:16
[SPEAKER_00]: He's great with his fees.
18:17
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a great playmaker.
18:18
[SPEAKER_00]: But still, I don't want my homes as my leading Russia for this team.
18:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Number two, the Seattle Seahawks.
18:27
[SPEAKER_00]: this team's dangerous in the West.
18:29
[SPEAKER_00]: And it looks like a really tough division.
18:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, oh, we picked the cardinals doing it a vision.
18:34
[SPEAKER_01]: They're in the only two minutes.
18:34
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not good.
18:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Hindsight's 2020.
18:37
[SPEAKER_00]: What worry, thank you.
18:41
[SPEAKER_00]: What worry, thank you.
18:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on, that they were never winning that division because they don't.
18:45
[SPEAKER_00]: With that being said, I believe I had the Seahawks winning that division early in my predictions.
18:52
[SPEAKER_00]: So I feel really good about that.
18:53
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a team that was 10-7 last year.
18:57
[SPEAKER_00]: We're out of a playoff spot.
18:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Seattle, the Rams and the 49ers of all hit best case scenarios.
19:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
19:06
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... jackson smithon jigba that news always opened uh... he has nearly seven hundred yards through six weeks which is ridiculous pace darnled as a top three quarterback and pretty much every quarterback statistic there is their defense of line continues to improve they had the most pressures in a game since twenty twenty they pressured travelers on fifty four percent of his dropbacks they had seven sacks boardman all this
19:31
[SPEAKER_01]: they went across the country and won it be the team that's pretty good.
19:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
19:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I actually have an interesting stat on that.
19:39
[SPEAKER_00]: In the Michael McDonald era, the Seattle Seawalks are 11 and 1 on the road.
19:45
[SPEAKER_00]: They are road warriors.
19:46
[SPEAKER_00]: They are inverted.
19:48
[SPEAKER_00]: They are inverted.
19:49
[SPEAKER_00]: They really struggle at home, which is funny because the 12th man was supposed to be this incredible home field advantage.
19:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Past couple years hasn't been, but they're able to win on the road that you
20:02
[SPEAKER_00]: My number one winner, it shouldn't come as a surprise.
20:05
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a strictly biased show.
20:07
[SPEAKER_00]: The Indianapolis Colts, they seemingly get the job done exactly like they need to, regardless of the opponent.
20:13
[SPEAKER_01]: We talked about it on the Colts report, which is coming out a little later, get there tomorrow.
20:18
[SPEAKER_01]: They have the best record of the league and have the best point differential.
20:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep, scored the most points.
20:22
[SPEAKER_00]: It's nice.
20:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, you can't stop.
20:24
[SPEAKER_00]: They lost many ward.
20:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Guess what?
20:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Still one injury starting to pile up on the back end.
20:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Guess what?
20:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Still one front four cannot get probably much worse.
20:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I know stats say they're middle of the pack.
20:36
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not.
20:38
[SPEAKER_00]: They need to improve through the deadline.
20:41
[SPEAKER_00]: If not, I don't know if the season ends like this team wants to.
20:43
[SPEAKER_00]: This has a Fc championship team written all over at the way they've played these first six weeks.
20:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I know that sounds crazy coming into the beginning of the year.
20:51
[SPEAKER_01]: The bills aren't the bills that we thought.
20:53
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
20:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Ravens aren't the Ravens we thought.
20:55
[SPEAKER_01]: The chiefs aren't the chiefs of the past few years.
20:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not saying they're what in the FC, but I I didn't come in the season.
21:02
[SPEAKER_01]: There was any chance and sitting here through five weeks.
21:06
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a six weeks.
21:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they small chance.
21:09
[SPEAKER_00]: They have six or not.
21:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Excuse me.
21:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Not six four starters out of their secondary moony war.
21:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Jalen Jones Justin Wally and Kenny Moore.
21:17
[SPEAKER_00]: This is their starting quarters coming into the year.
21:19
[SPEAKER_01]: They have this point and the defensive backfield have been pretty.
21:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say they need to be lucky that Marvin Harrison Jr.
21:24
[SPEAKER_00]: is injured.
21:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he had a big game coming in.
21:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Bad loss written all over.
21:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, if he played up to his potential, the cults were in a lot of trouble.
21:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if they could have covered him in the second half, obviously, now have to worry about it with a concussion.
21:38
[SPEAKER_00]: They have the most efficient offensive line and offensive system in the entire league.
21:43
[SPEAKER_00]: They're top five in almost every category.
21:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Jonathan Taylor is exceptional.
21:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, lines at top three unit right now on the league.
21:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Chris Ballard said, I think I've got my guys and I'm starting to believe him because... Got upgrade that defense.
21:57
[SPEAKER_00]: But otherwise I agree with him.
22:00
[SPEAKER_01]: My question is will.
22:01
[SPEAKER_01]: with a cult appear on our next segment.
22:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Number five Detroit Lions.
22:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Tough loss on the road of the chiefs.
22:16
[SPEAKER_00]: We both picked them to win that game.
22:20
[SPEAKER_00]: They struggled.
22:20
[SPEAKER_00]: They got from behind.
22:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think that
22:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to reiterate that I don't even think about the lions when I do this list because they're the lions.
22:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
22:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I just, I don't know.
22:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Something's going to change at some point.
22:32
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see if it happens, but I still really like them.
22:35
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're the best human they're division and I think they have a great home field advantage.
22:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Yet, why not?
22:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Number four.
22:44
[SPEAKER_00]: You said you wanted to see the cults, you got him.
22:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Number four, uh, they have all the Mike makings of a great team.
22:49
[SPEAKER_00]: All the metrics say regardless of schedule, they're playing really good football.
22:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Still wouldn't be on my list, but it's amazing that I'm not shocked there on yours.
22:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe my list is wrong.
22:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it's right.
23:00
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll never know.
23:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Or we will.
23:01
[SPEAKER_00]: We will.
23:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Number three.
23:03
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a fact that there's a chance as a man.
23:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
23:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Number three, Seattle Seahawks.
23:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I really believe in that team.
23:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Sam Donald is.
23:11
[SPEAKER_00]: awfully good.
23:13
[SPEAKER_00]: The fact that Minnesota let him go for judging McCarthy to me is that's going to be what does them in this season is not having a capable quarterback on team that really deserves one.
23:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Number two, Denver Broncos.
23:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm still what?
23:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm even more convinced of them after that game in London.
23:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Really, I am.
23:36
[SPEAKER_00]: That defense is elite elite elite.
23:38
[SPEAKER_01]: So you're telling me that the bills are on your list?
23:43
[SPEAKER_01]: You're telling me that the Rams are on your list.
23:45
[SPEAKER_01]: No, you're out of your mind, will.
23:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, I don't make the rules.
23:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I actually do because it's my list the Eagles offense.
23:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it's good enough to win right now In the Super Bowl and I I think that I could come back and eat my words there.
24:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the Rams You just slapped them directly.
24:05
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not Josh Allen's fault.
24:06
[SPEAKER_00]: It's there.
24:07
[SPEAKER_00]: They're deep in sport Then where they need that that defense every weakness that I talked about and are We'll see we'll see.
24:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know because they can't stop the run and they can't stop the pass There's no number one on my mind
24:20
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see.
24:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
24:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I just I don't think that they're good enough to get it done and your number one is my number two Tampa Bay buck in years and it should be because I think that they can just win any way possible buck.
24:30
[SPEAKER_00]: You're being had even played the last two weeks.
24:32
[SPEAKER_00]: They're still winning.
24:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Why why not bigger may field stinks of championship season championship run doesn't he.
24:47
[SPEAKER_00]: every year of bakers here, I mean, to win a championship every year.
24:51
[SPEAKER_00]: He can win a championship.
24:53
[SPEAKER_00]: He's that talent.
24:54
[SPEAKER_00]: He just slings the pill around all day.
24:56
[SPEAKER_00]: He just get himself hurt.
24:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Then he puts off.
24:58
[SPEAKER_00]: He carries a bigger stick in the rest of us new.
25:01
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a winner.
25:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Throwing through is the epitome of it.
25:03
[SPEAKER_00]: If you look it up in the dictionary, Baker Mayfield's picture pops up.
25:07
[SPEAKER_00]: He is completely transformed.
25:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't only that organization after Tom Brady, but also that city.
25:13
[SPEAKER_00]: they guys say this team is better than the one that won the Super Bowl.
25:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I think so.
25:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you're right.
25:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it is.
25:19
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it is.
25:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's if they're healthy, the best receiving core in the NFL.
25:26
[SPEAKER_00]: They're five deep.
25:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Becca Boooka.
25:30
[SPEAKER_00]: We're forgetting about Jail McMillam because he's been on the IR.
25:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Look at what he did at the end of the year last year.
25:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Two running backs that are both effective.
25:38
[SPEAKER_01]: We just talked about the quarterback being in MVP.
25:41
[SPEAKER_01]: They're offensive line.
25:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Is it great, but it's good.
25:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I would say two fences getting a little old, but it's still quite capable.
25:46
[SPEAKER_00]: One of the best ones who tandem as far as running backs in the league, they're both really capable.
25:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd agree with you.
25:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I just still think Josh Allen in the end is gonna raise that trophy this year.
25:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, unless they get that defense choreed up, I just don't think so.
25:59
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't waste Josh Allen prime years.
26:03
[SPEAKER_00]: And they've done it.
26:04
[SPEAKER_01]: They've done it.
26:05
[SPEAKER_00]: And by the way, the five pinball fence makes us beat that.
26:09
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no reason it shouldn't be they've got like eight first round ref takes on their offense They should be that good and be John's in the whole other world.
26:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
26:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't I don't think he's as good as Jonathan Taylor And the same traditional running back since but he might be a better Athletic then Taylor is if that makes sense and he's just freaky His abilities are good
26:31
[SPEAKER_00]: We grew now, that team's over.
26:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that they have to just wait too many goals.
26:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Pittsburgh Steelers, congratulations.
26:37
[SPEAKER_00]: You have lucked in to winning the AFC North, which is disgusting to say.
26:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, let's Joe Flacco start sling in the pillar round.
26:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Note count out, Joe Flow.
26:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Bill's have this week off.
26:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I think we'll have a better answer on them two weeks from now in Carolina.
26:56
[SPEAKER_01]: By the way, I want it on record.
26:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I am completely 100% without question, without hesitation, discounting Joe Flacker.
27:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say the odds are really stacked against him, but the second that you count Joe Flacker while the second you come to warm back.
27:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Consider him pounded up.
27:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
27:16
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
27:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Central and A&S Sports Report is a product of ITG media, and I love Sunzi.
