Welcome, Welcome, welcome, welcome, Welcome back to another episode, episode
0:08
number thirty two of the so called sports Analyst. Josh. How you doing.
0:15
You know, I used to pray for times like this every single year
0:21
for the past six years. I pray for times like this, and it
0:24
just happens to be a very like common thing in my life. You know,
0:31
a lot of people like to doubt, like to hate, like to
0:34
doubt the goat mahomes like to doubt Andy Reid and the Chiefs. But you
0:38
know they're back in the Super Bowl. Baby, They're back in the mix.
0:43
Baby. You know that's all I We're gonna get into it in a
0:48
minute, but I can't say much more than I'm just blessed. I'm blessed.
0:53
I'm a blessed man, you know, Like I go to daily Mass.
0:56
Every day I go to I read the Bible, pray strongly, and
1:02
today when I was in Mass, I prayed for the Chiefs and we're in
1:04
the Super Bowl again. I know God got my back. I know God
1:07
got to my back and I will never lose faith. Well, that's all
1:12
feeling good, all right? Before we start, you guys can follow us
1:18
on Twitter at Flying Garcia one hundred and at Underscore, Alfonso zero three.
1:23
Whatever you listening to it on Spreaker, Spotify, hour radio, or any
1:26
other platform, we appreciate it and make sure you share it to anybody who
1:29
likes sports. And before we get into this Chiefs and Ravens game, we're
1:34
gonna start off with this game that just happened, which was between the San
1:38
Francisco forty nine Ers and the Detroit Lions, in which the Niners made an
1:42
amazing comeback down seventeen points, in which they won thirty four to thirty one.
1:49
Josh, I know this is your other team right here, but what
1:52
did you take away from this one? I just think the line's aggressiveness came
1:57
back to bite them in this game. You know, going for that fourth
2:00
down instead of kicking a field goal and taking points, the game would be
2:04
a little bit different, the outcome and be a little bit different. Josh
2:07
Reynolds made a couple key drops in this game. They stopped targeting onm and
2:10
Ross Saint Brown in the second half, and then I don't know, it
2:14
just seemed like they just kind of went away from what they're used to doing.
2:15
And then the fort Niners capitalized. They stormed back into this game as
2:20
a great team should and they and an experienced team should. And I think
2:23
this is what came back to bite the Lions. Neand was experienced something you've
2:25
been harping on. And I just think it was a big day from some
2:30
big players. You know, Christian McCaffrey showed up when it mattered the most.
2:34
He had a big game. He really I feel like him and Purty
2:38
really let the charge for this comeback. It was just more of an emotional
2:42
They went through a whole emotional roller coaster and they fought their way back.
2:46
Yeah. Yeah, they definitely did. And it surprised me from the very
2:51
good go especially how the Lions started. I was like, okay, cool,
2:53
well the Lions are getting the ball. The next thing, No bam.
2:55
They drive straight straight down the field, round the football Jamis and Williams.
2:59
Big play. Then they get a three and out on the Niners,
3:01
which you don't see because a script as far as the beginning, everything's all
3:06
set up stop them. Then they go back back and score again. So
3:09
you're up fourteen to zero and they're one of the best running teams in the
3:14
league. And they, like you said, they just get away from the
3:17
run game and it makes no it makes no sense to me. And you're
3:23
up twenty four to seven at halftime. You're up twenty four to seven at
3:28
halftime. I know that the Niners they do get the ball, and even
3:30
afterwards it was twenty four to ten. It was twenty four to ten,
3:35
and like you said, get away from the run and then some aggressive calls
3:39
that it bit them against the Cowboys, which was basically a playoff game,
3:45
and then bit them in this game right here. So it's just there's only
3:49
so many chances you could take in a game. There's only so much.
3:52
At the end of the day, like you say, the football gods,
3:54
they'll find a way to come back and bite you in the butt for it.
3:59
And that's it, exactly what happened. And the biggest thing, Josh,
4:01
I know you don't want to hear it. I know you don't want
4:04
to hear it, and I know some other people don't want to hear it.
4:09
Rock Purdy was the reason that the forty nine ers are going to the
4:14
Super Bowl. What brock Purdy did in the second half was spectacular. That
4:19
looked like franchise quarterback type of type of play right there, and we've never
4:26
seen him being this mobile or being this shifty in the pocket, and that's
4:30
exactly what he was doing. Five carries forty eight yards and there were big
4:33
carries and then the bomb Tai Yuk. So I know cem Se, he
4:39
definitely had a great day. I'm not taking that away from him. He
4:42
did. But if Rock Purdy does not play in this game, they lose.
4:46
And like you, like you said, he's not a franchise quarterback.
4:50
And I'm backing you up on this one, Mark, because Mark, he's
4:54
been he's been calling for your head these past, these past few episodes.
4:58
How you've been, how you've been going after Rock Purdy. So yeah,
5:01
no, Mark, I'm with you. I agree with you. Rock Purdy.
5:04
He played great. And speaking of that, speaking to that, even
5:10
do Fluty had a role in the NFL, I'm saying even Doug Fluty had
5:14
a roll. Doug, Doug Flute wasn't doing this. But okay, as
5:19
far as from this lion's side right here, so Ben Johnson, it looks
5:25
like he's gonna be gone. Jared Goff is gonna get extension. I'm Monroe
5:29
is gonna get extension. Some other people need to get paid. Do you
5:31
think they'll be back here next year? I truly do think they'll be back
5:36
in this position next year. I think it's gonna be Honestly, we're gonna
5:42
have to be a big look into the NFC North and see who's gonna be
5:45
the best team coming out next year, because Lions, Packers, even the
5:48
Vikings, they're still in the mix, you know. And the Bears.
5:50
So yeah, the Bears can make a couple moves, but I ain't putting
5:54
no Bears in no conversation. So I see it on the field, But
5:56
as far as the three other teams, I've seen it from those three other
5:59
teams. But I do think they'll be back in the position to be in
6:01
the playoffs. It's just I think Ben Johnson will be a big loss.
6:05
But I feel like there's a point where you're already grooming somebody to come up
6:11
and order. You hire somebody from the outside and bring them in to bring
6:14
a whole new project. So I trust in Dan Campbell. He's brought this
6:17
team from the bottom to the top, you know, and I don't think
6:21
it changes from there. I still think this team believes, if anything,
6:24
they have more of a chip on their shoulder, and like he was saying,
6:26
experienced. This is Jamiir Gibbs, Al Monroe, Saint Brown, Sam
6:30
Laporta, Jamison Williams, Like they're all young weapons in this league. Aiden
6:34
Hutchinsonson, you know it. Just the list goes on and on with this
6:39
team. They have a bright future and I think if they stay together and
6:42
stay hungry, I think they'll be back in the same position. They have
6:44
the talent to do it. I don't see why they don't. Yeah,
6:46
So, since you were speaking of Jamiir Gibbs, one more thing that I
6:49
wanted to point out, So how Jamiir Gibbs he fumbled at the twenty,
6:54
How did you feel about that afterwards? They really didn't give him the ball
6:58
afterwards. And it's a rookie, miss, I know, it's a big
7:00
situation and made the game twenty four to twenty four. So do you think
7:04
they should have stuck with that or or do you think they kind of they
7:09
reacted there. I think they overreacted. I think you got to give the
7:14
ball to your playmaker, especially the guy that was getting like pretty much in
7:17
the first half, religiously getting ten yard gains. Twelve yard games and even
7:21
he even puts you up with girl on the board, you know it.
7:25
He he has been explosive, explosive, explosive the entire season. To take
7:30
the ball out of that playmaker's hands, who's so dynamic when he gets the
7:33
ball. It's just a recipe that leads to losses. You know, it's
7:38
just like, yeah, that's like basically that's why the Falcons aren't good.
7:43
They don't give the ball to their weapons. You know, you got to
7:45
get the ball to Jumior gives in this situation. Mm hmm. Yeah.
7:48
So I know that obviously a quarterback, they get a big, big loss
7:54
right here. But as far as so in the second half, the Niners
7:59
outscored the Lion twenty seven to seven. And so when do you think that
8:05
this more second half collapse. It was more than forty nine ers defense stepping
8:11
stepping up, well, the Lion Lions offense becoming stagnant. I just think
8:16
it was mainly the whole Niners team in general making adjustments. Like we saw
8:20
the offense start pressing the ball a little bit more downfield. We started seeing
8:24
the defense really get into a motion. We saw Fred Warner start moving all
8:28
around the field. It was just and Nick Bosa stepped up really big in
8:31
this game. Like, if anyone's thinking anything different of Nick Bosa, you're
8:35
tripping because he was getting to that he was getting to Jared Goff and creating
8:39
a lot of pressure, you know. So I think just this whole team
8:43
went to that half and was like, we need to change this or we're
8:45
gonna or we're gonna be This team wasn't gonna be the same team next year.
8:48
I guarantee you some people were gonna be gone and it was gonna be
8:52
a whole different. I think this team would have been a would have blew
8:54
it up in my opinion, because you're bringing all these people and you don't
8:58
get the job done multiple years, after moreultiple years. You know, you
9:00
can only pay people for so long. So if the fact that they won
9:03
this game and came back strong in the second half really shows a lot of
9:07
a lot that this team can do. Yeah, And so I agree with
9:13
you on that side. So the the Detroit Lions, as far as running
9:18
the football on the first half, they had one hundred and forty eight rushing
9:20
yards. What they finished a game with they finished with one hundred and eighty
9:24
two. So if my math is correct, that's thirty two rushing yards that
9:30
they allowed in the second half on eight on eight carries. So they they
9:35
definitely did their job and they stepped up. And like you said, Nick
9:39
Bosa, two sacks, two tackle for losses. And another thing that I
9:43
didn't see many people talking about Christian McCaffrey, how on one of those last
9:48
few runs he messed up his shoulder. And I know there's two weeks to
9:52
prepare, but he's been dealing with that for a while. Do you think
9:54
that's going to affect him. No, I don't think so. I think
10:00
may be hurt, but Christian is one game Christian McCaffrey has to push through.
10:03
I think Christian McCaffrey is gonna push through that game. Just suck to
10:05
who is about to play against, you know, but he'll push, he'll
10:09
try his hardest. Well, all right, since since you brought it up,
10:13
let's go ahead and get straight into that game. So the AFC Championship,
10:18
it featured the Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens, and which I'm
10:22
pretty sure majority of the people watching all across we're going for the Ravens,
10:26
in which the Chiefs they prevail and win a defensive battle seventeen to ten.
10:31
Josh, go ahead. The floor's yours. Go ahead. What did you
10:35
take away from this one? I'm a hundred dollars, I'm one hundred dollars
10:39
richer. I'm a Jersey richerd I'm another hundred dollars Richard. You know,
10:46
you can doubt the Chiefs, you can talk on the Chiefs, you can
10:50
say all these things about the Chiefs, but you're gonna have to deal with
10:54
the Chiefs game in and game out, year in, year out, because
10:58
you know why he got that number fifteen in the behind, behind the big
11:03
old number, behind Creed Humphrey. We're gonna get the job done when the
11:07
job matters. You know. Even the guy that I've been harping on all
11:11
season, on his ass all season. I even alluded to him being called
11:16
MV asked during the season, Well you know what, he's envy blessed.
11:20
He's MV blessed dude, because he has blessed hands when it comes to the
11:24
playoffs. He when he last year versus the Bengals, showed up, showed
11:28
at last week, showed up, showed out this week, showed up when
11:33
it mattered the most at the end to still the game. You know,
11:35
there's just a lot of things that people like the question if Lebron is that
11:41
guy? Like to question just the goats in there, if Tom Brady was
11:45
it, Bill Belichick. You know, sometimes you gotta look at the greats.
11:48
You gotta look at Patrick Mahomes, and you just guys think, how
11:50
could I ever bet against that guy? How could I ever doubt that guy?
11:54
You know, let me read all something here, Let me read all
11:56
something here. You know, Mahomes. Mahomes is the greatest player of all
12:01
time in my opinion, he's the greatest player of all time, greatest player
12:03
I've ever seen, greatest player anyone has ever seen. If you tell me
12:05
anything different, you're lying. You're a line with yourself. You know.
12:09
Let me read this from Nick Wright. Patrick Mahomes, who is the greatest
12:13
come from behind quarterback in playoff history and last year won a Super Bowl on
12:16
one leg, is now on equivocally the greatest underdog in sports history. He's
12:22
ten one and one against the spread and ninety three straight up as an underdog.
12:28
You know, so he's also the goat, but he's also the greatest
12:31
underdog of all time. Make so he's just the greatest player of all time.
12:35
If y'all really want to talk about this, you know, and then
12:37
I'll take a shot. We did this before the pot. I'm gonna take
12:39
a shot out and like, where did that come from? Where did that
12:43
come? Yeah, but let me tell you this. Patrick Mahomes in six
12:46
seasons, fourteen playoff wins, two super Bowl wins, and Fourcing Bowl appearances.
12:50
Peyton Manning in seventeen seasons, fourteen playoff wins, two super Bowl wins,
12:56
for ser Bowl appearances. So what that tells me? It's only Mahomes
13:00
and Brady. Baby, it's only Mahomes and Brady in a couple of years.
13:01
Don't going to be Mahomes because this Chiefs team, it's going to another
13:07
Super Bowl. And they shut all the people up about Lamar Jackson. Lamar
13:11
Jackson. Oh, he's gonna get it done too. Dude only has two
13:15
playoff wins in his NFL career. Dude, Mahomes has fourteen. Mahomes has
13:18
fourteen. Come on, they want to talk about. Oh, this defense,
13:24
No, they were the second best defense on the field, and this
13:28
and the whole season and in this game, the Chiefs showed up like they
13:31
did every week and shut down Lamar and shut down those boys Chiefs Kingdom Baby.
13:39
So yeah, Mahomes, So or actually, have you decided which jersey
13:46
you want? Do you want to? What you know, bro? Every
13:48
jersey is sold out. I'll get you today. When I was looking,
13:56
you know what they had to leavey on Bill for like twenty six dollars six
14:03
dollars, I'll get you on Bell jersey. Hell yeah, man, shoot
14:07
don't I don't know if you want that? No, But yeah, Mahomes,
14:13
he showed up and showed out. But my concern it wasn't Patrick Mahomes.
14:18
It was the rest of the team as far as will they show up
14:22
and will they step up? And Joe Toney being out so but but they
14:26
stepped up. They did what they had three. They stepped up when they
14:31
had to do. And I think the very first drive or the very first
14:35
drives of the game that set the tone. Ravens. They went three and
14:37
out the Chiefs. They went ten plays eighty six yards and drove down the
14:41
field with Kelsey and Mahomes and and scored a touchdown, And that set the
14:46
tone for the rest of game. I know that the Ravens they responded real
14:50
quick, but it was just a couple of big plays here and there.
14:54
But then of course right after that, the Chiefs they go down and respond.
14:58
So even if this this team may not be the best offensively, which
15:03
I think we're a little bit overreacting. I could say I was overreacting.
15:07
They have overall the ninth ranked best offense in the league, so it can't
15:09
be that bad. So they respond whenever they needed to, time and time
15:16
in and time again. And Lamar Jackson he just couldn't respond. He couldn't.
15:22
He had two turnovers and he was pressing the entire game. So Lamar
15:28
Jackson twenty for thirty seven, two hundred and seventy two yards, a touchdown,
15:31
a pick, forty two point nine QBR. So that's a scale from
15:35
one to one hundred. Not that good. Patrick Mahomes thirty for thirty nine,
15:39
two hundred and forty one yards, one touchdown, ninety one point one
15:45
QBR. You could tell that was a big difference right here between who the
15:48
best player in the league is and who was the best player in the regular
15:52
season. That was a big gap, and I think that the game,
15:58
the game changing play. It was seventeen to seven and Lamar Jackson he had
16:03
a big play to Zay Flowers down the middle and they got to the one
16:07
or they got to like the five yard line, something like that. Then
16:11
Za Flowers he was about to go in for a touchdown, and who comes
16:15
in the All Pro snubbed who I think he should have been All Pro Lagarius
16:18
Snead. He gets a fumble, changes the entire game. It could have
16:22
been bare minimum if they kick a field goal seventeen ten or seventeen fourteen.
16:26
So this defense, they showed up and showed out and four sacks, three
16:32
tagle for losses, five pass deflections, seven QB hits. They were just
16:36
swarming everywhere. And I was just really surprised by that because nobody has been
16:41
able to shut down the Ravens offense the entire year. And they did that,
16:45
and they stopped their run game. I know they averaged five point one
16:48
yards per carry, but it was a couple of big plays sixteen carries eighty
16:52
one yards. They stopped the Ravens from what they want to do throughout the
16:56
entire game. They stopped him, and that's very hard to do. So
17:00
that's just props to the Chiefs and it just shows that even though they're underdogs
17:06
or whatever, they they can't they can't be stopped no matter what. So
17:11
as far as as far as with this whole Ravens team right here, because
17:17
this Ravens team, as far as it's not the flashing names that need to
17:22
get paid, but but their key guys on this team. Marlon Humphrey,
17:26
you have a Patrick Queen, you have Odell, do you bring him back?
17:30
Rashad Bateman. There's a Mark Andrews. I think he needs a contract
17:33
extension. He's got a year left. So do you think they should try
17:37
to run it back or try to do a little bit of revamps. I
17:42
think if they really want to be good, I think they should try running
17:47
it back. They have the tools to get it done. They have the
17:48
defense to get it done. I mean, let's I'll be honest here.
17:52
They did shut us out the second half. They made adjudgtments, but we
17:55
but our defense is just so elite, so much better than they are.
17:57
They shut them down also, you know, so, but yeah, they
18:03
they I think they definitely should run it back. I don't know about resigning,
18:06
like a Marlin Humphrey. Mount Humphrey isn't the same guy he used to
18:08
be. A lot of injuries have caught up to him in his career.
18:11
And then if we're really looking at Mark Andrews, you do not take the
18:15
risk on letting that guy go. You extend him. So you know,
18:18
I think you think they should run it back, maybe go seek another weapon.
18:19
I don't think Odell is the answer. He didn't even play. He
18:23
barely played in this game. So it's just I think you need to reload
18:29
on the offensive side, especially at running back. I think that's a big
18:32
key. I get you have Justice Hill, you have a couple of guys,
18:34
but dude, you need that one guy that just strikes fear into people.
18:38
You know you already have Lamar. Just having another guy in that backfield,
18:41
it would do wonders and especially another weapon next to Zay Flowers. A
18:44
Flowers is a good player. I like Zay Flowers coming out of the draft.
18:47
I wish the Chiefs had gotten him. Like I remember like sending stuff
18:52
to my friend, my best friend Bregg and saying like I need to Chief
18:53
to get this guy. He played good in this game. Just a little
18:56
mistakes not holding onto the football that really cost on this game. You know.
19:00
Yeah, so but yeah, I think they should run it back.
19:06
Yeah, just game, but they could run it back. But so you
19:11
think they could run it back even though after Joe Burrow he was hurt.
19:15
Most of the Browns team that was hurt, Aaron Rodgers team was hurt,
19:18
the charges they weren't in it. There's all these teams that were hurt.
19:22
So this was our best chance. And I know we said last year,
19:26
oh, this is the Chiefs rebuilding year. It seems like more this year
19:30
was their rebuilding year. And if they're going to be going to AFC championship
19:34
games and Super Bowl games in their rebuilding years, just imagine when they actually
19:41
get I know, Rashid Rice, he is a good player, he is,
19:45
and he's becoming a star. But if you get another weapon alongside that,
19:49
and if Travis Kelce, who for some reason he turns back in the
19:56
vintage Travis Kelce eleven catch, one hundred and sixteen yards and a touchdown,
19:59
if he keeps doing that every postseason and the all time leading receptions leader in
20:06
NFL playoffs history, just get that correct right there? All right? Continue,
20:11
brother, Continue, brother, Yeah. No, So if you have
20:15
those guys stepping up and you get another weapon or or something, then it's
20:21
gonna be really scary for the rest of the league. It is, and
20:26
again, this was the best chance for the Ravens to beat them. And
20:30
honestly, I've been a Lamar Jackson fan this entire year. He still deserves
20:33
MVP. Playoff success does not matter about the regular season MVP. I'm gonna
20:38
go ahead and say that first and foremost. But he did not play well
20:42
in this game. He didn't He pressed way too much, way too much.
20:47
He was But is there anything else you want to take away from this
20:53
one, Josh before we get into the next topic. Yeah, I just
20:56
want to say this, like I think that was a crazy step, like
21:00
in one hundred and like twenty snaps. In this playoffs, Mahomes has only
21:03
been sacked one time. He's only been sacked one time in the whole playoffs,
21:07
and a lot of the problems came from our tackles with Donovan Smith and
21:11
A and A Donovan Smith and Juwan Taylor where they were getting a lot of
21:17
penalties. Jowan Taylor, I think has only had one penalty this entire playoffs,
21:19
so it's like they have really like stepped up in a big way.
21:25
And then nick A Lagerty stepping in for Joe Toney all pro arguably best left
21:30
guard in the NFL. Joe Toney, he stepped in for him and filleding
21:33
well. And you know, I think it's good because players are stepping up
21:37
at the correct times. And me and you had always said, if the
21:40
Chiefs can just play mistake free football, yeah they're gonna win. They would
21:44
win more most of their football games. And that's what they've been doing in
21:47
this playoffs, mistake free. Mahomes almost through a perfect game in this one,
21:51
outside of throwing the ball away a couple times and trying to for and
21:53
trying to get the guys where only they could get it. You know.
21:56
So he went thirty for thirty nine, like they everything's looking good. Everything
22:00
seems like it's going right for the Chiefs right now. And they just took
22:02
down what people thought to be the best team in the NFL. And I
22:06
think the craziest thing is that Mahomes, like I know that, I know
22:10
that everybody's so used to Mahomes. I like, as far as oh Mahomes
22:12
going to do Mahomes. But I think the player of the day was when
22:17
it was still seven to seven and Mahomes he scrambled around the or broke a
22:21
sack, scrambled around the pocket for eight seconds, then just threw it up
22:23
to Kelsey where only Kelsey could catch it. Like that's just ridiculous. You
22:29
can't you can't guard that. It's I'm sorry. If they keep doing that,
22:33
then no, nobody's gonna beat them. Well, well, people thought
22:37
like they had them figured out, but Mahomes and Kelsey just turned it up
22:41
to a different level in the playoffs, like they just like hit them Andy,
22:45
Andy Reid, Mahomes and Kelsey were like, no what, we were
22:48
taking a little break, you know, we heard all the all the noise,
22:51
and we were like, let's show. Let's just show up on the
22:53
road two games, two games in a row and win. I don't know,
22:59
I guess the chief they just they just do it time in and time
23:02
again. But anything else you want to take away, Josh, No,
23:06
we'll see you in two weeks. We'll see the Niners in two weeks.
23:08
We'll see the Niners in two weeks. Well, all right, so we're
23:14
gonna go and get into this next topic here. So we talked a little
23:15
bit about the NFL. So we're gonna talk about the NFL Draft again this
23:19
week, and like we like we promised, we're gonna have our top fifteen
23:23
rated prospects. We could just go one and one back and forth, Josh,
23:29
So, but I'll let you go ahead and start this one off.
23:33
Who was your number one ratiy to prospect going into the twenty twenty four NFL
23:37
Draft? No other than the best college receiver coming out of this year's draft
23:45
and maybe in a couple of years. I don't know arguably. You know,
23:47
there's Jamar Chase, There's Justin Jefferson. I know he didn't go that
23:51
high, you know, but Marvin Harrison Junior, freak of nature, a
23:56
specimen at the wide receiver position. Six four two o five, son of
23:59
Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison Junior. Over the last two seasons, he's been
24:03
nothing short of great. You know, two years, two seasons ago one
24:07
eighteen twelve to sixty one hundred eighteen catches and sixty three yards and fourteen touchdowns.
24:14
This season, one hundred fourteen catches on eleven yards and fourteen touchdowns.
24:18
He's nothing but consistent. You know, his floor, But what's his ceiling?
24:22
We haven't seen that yet because he's playing with the Mega and Buka and
24:25
a couple other good receivers, you know, and he's getting double teamed every
24:29
play in college football, you know. So he has the combo, he
24:32
has the size, speed, the catch radius, run out to the cats,
24:34
skills and the skills they just make him the most priority prospect in the
24:40
draft for me. Yeah, that's why he's a number one prospect in the
24:41
draft in my opinion. So so number one who I have here at Again,
24:48
I've been highing this guy the entire time, even going back to October
24:52
when we sorry this together. It's Caleb Williams. It's it has to be
24:56
Caleb Williams. Again. I know there's that whole comparison of Mahomes and stuff
25:03
like that. I think his bare minimum his floor, Josh, I think
25:07
it's a prime Russell Wilson, and I say that respectfully. So again,
25:14
and he's bigger than Russell Wilson just off platform throw, just just any arm
25:18
angle and just able to manipulate the defense. And he is a fast damn
25:23
quarterback. Two runs a four or five, four to six, So just
25:27
anything. I feel like this is pretty obvious for me, and he's just
25:32
a clear cut He's up there with the Andrew Lux to Trevor Lawrence, is
25:36
all those different guys of the world. And that's why he's my number one
25:40
rated prospect. So who's your number two? Number two for me is Kayleb
25:45
Williams much for the same reasons. You know. He He's very accurate within
25:51
the pocket. He likes to dodge a lot of pressure. He moves around
25:55
much like Patrick Mahomes does. When what makes him great is what happens when
26:02
the play breaks down. He's able to move around, which, like I
26:04
said, he's literally people compare him too much Patrick Mahomes. It's a little
26:07
unfair too, because you're trying to live up to a guy's standard who is
26:11
the best player in the NFL. But I understand some people from college,
26:15
Yeah, yeah, he is the goat, you know, but kill Williams
26:19
shows a lot of those traits. Like he shows a lot of things that
26:22
Mahomes did in college at Texas Tech that Mahomes got ridiculed for us. He
26:26
is so happy to do so good in the NFL that they tried to find
26:29
the next guy that can do that and kill Williams just happens to be that
26:30
guy. And you know, he's been nothing short of great. He's a
26:34
Heisman Trophy winner. If he had a better defense, this USC team might
26:40
be a little different, you know. So I think he's right where he's
26:44
supposed to be. I understand why people have him number one. I have
26:45
him number two. Mm. So yeah, number two right here, the
26:51
same reason you had him number one. It's Marvin Harrison junior. And just
26:55
looking at all this stuff, just he's great at everything, and then there's
26:59
no real weakness to his game. Route running releases and then yards after catch
27:03
or big contested catch, he could make that. And one thing that stands
27:08
out to me is his elite body control on the air, and he's able
27:12
to manipulate the defense as far as with the head fakes, just a body
27:15
movement. That's something for that younger of a receiver to be doing something like
27:21
that is something we don't see often. And I honestly think that he could.
27:26
He could go into the draft, or he's going to go into the
27:29
draft right now, and he's easily gonna get thirteen hundred yards on any team
27:33
he has, just because he's that damn good of a player. Like you
27:37
said, he was double team all in college, so it's not going to
27:41
make a difference. He's been seen it the entire time. And for my
27:45
comps, I think that he's bare minimum AJ Green, bare minimum and AJ
27:51
Green and AJ Green. He was up there with Julio before he got hurt.
27:56
So that's some real high praise that I'm giving him. And like you
28:00
said, there's no ceiling, there's no siling for this dude because he's Marvin
28:07
Harrison senior except three four inches taller. So and Marvin Harrison was a Hall
28:12
of Famer. So yeah, it's gonna be scary for who whoever has to
28:18
go against him or whoever's gonna draft him. They're gonna get a good one.
28:21
So all right, who's your number three? Ready to prospect? Number
28:25
three? I have Drake May the quarterback. He's six with four two thirty.
28:30
I like to compare him a lot to Justin Herbert. I think they
28:33
have both the ideal build. They have great passer trades in a rocket arm,
28:37
you know, like they have the intangibles to be a good quarterback.
28:40
It's just a matter of can he limit the turnovers and can he continue to
28:44
be be consistent through the air, you know, and with him also he
28:49
brings a little bit more of a rushing edge, a little bit more.
28:52
I'm not saying like it's extremely there. I don't know how it's gonna translate
28:56
to the NFL. But he's rushed over the last two season for eleven over
29:00
seven hundred yards and seventeen touchdowns in the last two seasons, So he has
29:03
that potential and I think he's a little bit more athletic. But we'll see
29:07
how he translates when he gets into the NFL. But his comp for me
29:10
is just an Herbert m So for my number three rated prospect and somebody who
29:15
at first I wasn't high on but now I am. It's Malik Neighbors,
29:18
the wide receiver from LSU. I know he is a smaller, smaller wide
29:23
receiver six foot one ninety five, but just what he's able to do his
29:27
yards after catch, his explosiveness is speed and then his change in acceleration.
29:32
It's something that we don't see too often. And if he really did have
29:37
a weakness, it's getting off of man coverage or presses on the line.
29:41
But that's something that can be taught and just that just you're a smaller wide
29:45
receiver, that happens. But he he has a real chance. I feel
29:49
like he can make a Jamar Chase type impact, Like how what Jamar Chase
29:56
did with the Bengals. I know he had Joe Burrow, but I'm just
29:59
saying he could do something like that. And the way that he moves and
30:03
just his play style it's very similar to Antonio Brown. And Antonio Brown in
30:10
his prime he was that dude. I think that this dude right here,
30:14
Malik Neighbors, he could have one of the biggest impacts in the draft.
30:18
And that's that's even including Caleb Williams and Marvin Harrison Junior. I just think
30:22
he's that good. And if I had to have a floor for him,
30:27
I'd say maybe a Tyler Lockett or a t Y Hilton and those guys.
30:32
Those were good receivers in the league. But yeah, Malik Neighbors, he's
30:36
my number three rated prospect. Okay, I see what. I'll get to
30:42
him a minute, But I number four. Rome O Duns. I don't
30:45
know if it's a low biased I mean, I like meet some Romo Duns
30:48
you know, but Odune, I think he's the most complete receiver in the
30:52
NFL. I think he's in the NFL draft. He's the most complete receiver
30:55
in the NFL draft. He does everything at an above average level, and
30:59
I think he could get to a great level in the NFL. This last
31:03
season, he had ninety two receptions, sixteen hundred yards and thirteen touchdowns.
31:07
He was nothing short but great. Michael Penicks's number one option in that high
31:10
powered Washington offense. And I think his comp for me, I talked to
31:12
you before the pot. I think it's Larry Fitzgerald. I think I understand
31:15
Larry Fitzgerald was a little bit more, a little bit more physical, but
31:21
also Lake Neighbors, you got me, you were talking about him. Romo
31:23
Dunns. Romo duns Like has a lot of those traits I think that Larry
31:29
Fitzgerald had, and I think he will develop that physicality as he gets into
31:33
more and in the grain, into being a grown man in the NFL and
31:37
then also like developing. So for my number four rated prospect, and we
31:45
kind of covered it last week, it's Jaden Daniels, the quarterback from LSU,
31:49
and he is smaller six four two ten, So he's he has a
31:53
high but as far as his frame, it is smaller. But just the
31:59
development he's had over the years, that's what That's what amazes me right there.
32:04
How he's become just a running quarterback to now he is a real caliber
32:09
quarterback. He's gonna at least go into the top ten. Just his decision
32:15
making and then his pocket awareness to in his arm strength, that's something that
32:19
wasn't there at first, and he progressed that over time. The only thing
32:22
that I could really say that I don't like is his throwing mechanics. But
32:30
again, throwing mechanics that could be something that could be changed. So like
32:32
a Dak Prescott his throwing mechanics got changed, Russell Wilson throwing mechanics got changed.
32:37
So it's something that can be fixed. And he's more somebody he's gonna
32:43
go into more of a polished environment where there's not gonna be as much stuff
32:47
because maybe he won't go top three or top five, he'll he'll probably fall
32:52
later. So I think just putting him in the right situation, he's gonna
32:58
thrive. And I have to compare him to Lamar Jackson here because that's the
33:02
only guy that's been that explosive. Yeah, and if I had to have
33:07
a floor, i'd have to say Marcus Mariota. So I know, looking
33:12
at it now, Marcus Marcus Mariota right now obviously like, no, that's
33:17
a bad comp but he played Tyrod Taylor would be a better compus. I
33:28
feel like, I don't know, like I just I think, yeah,
33:31
they're both the same play I could see. I could see, well,
33:35
yeah, kind of like a mold like that, where like throwing mechanics need
33:37
to be developed or whatever. Yeah, but yeah, that's why he's my
33:40
fourth righter prospect at number five for me, I have the Georgia tight end,
33:50
mister brock Bowers. You know, if there was like any other draft,
33:54
I feel like he would be getting a lot more praise. But there's
33:58
so much offensive weapons and his draft. But I think he's so good at
34:01
his position he has to be number five for me. So that's where I'm
34:04
gonna put him at. You know, he's the first time two time John
34:09
McKie Award winner, which goes to the best tight end in the nation in
34:13
college football. He has pristine route running, he has great run after the
34:17
catch, vision and stick him hands. He's going to catch everything that goes
34:21
his way. He's going to catch it. He's going to secure it,
34:22
no matter if it's one handed, two handed, like he makes it happen.
34:27
Yeah. Last season a little banged up missed about four games, fifty
34:30
six catches, seven hundred seventeen yards and six touchdowns. He had that type
34:32
of production while missing time. And I think he can only get better and
34:37
if especially with him, if he gets into a good system and a team
34:39
with a quarterback that needs to tighten a safety valve, he's that perfect mule
34:44
from I honestly, he can have Sam Laporta production. I think in year
34:49
one, I think that's how good Rock Bowers is and Sam Laporta came out
34:52
of nowhere. But this is about brock Bauer's floor for me. I think
34:54
that's his floor for me in my opinion, and I think I think,
34:58
I think comparisons I'll make to Rob Gronk, Oh wow, Robin good bro.
35:04
I think he is that good bro. Well, honestly I could see
35:07
that. So that's who I have number five here too. I'm not disagreeing
35:10
with you here. The only thing if you say like you said everything's just
35:15
out there. There's no real weakness. His only thing is his separation from
35:20
the defender. But that's not more his fault. It's just he's such a
35:23
damn big player six four two forty. It's kind of hard not to not
35:28
to be next to him. And you gave him a laporta comp Well,
35:32
my comp here it's gonna be George Kittle. I think he's just a bigger,
35:38
yeah, a bigger, faster version of George Kittle. But I'm not
35:43
gonna say Gronk yet. I'm not gonna say Gronk because Gronk he's he's that
35:47
dude that a little bit. I'll back try that. No, you can
35:51
stand on that. You can stand on that. I don't know, but
35:52
Rob Garkowski is a little big shoes to feeling. But I think that he
35:55
has that potential. I don't think since the only reason Kyle Pitt's got so
36:00
much love coming out but because coll Pits was so athletic, like, he
36:02
was so good, but Brock he was never to the level of good that
36:06
brock Bauers was in college. Yeah, So as far as receiver, yeah,
36:10
brock Bawers is complete. I think already. I think when he gets
36:15
in the league, he'll develop those little veteran tricks that all the Titans developed,
36:17
like that we see Travis Kelce and Adjason Witten and A and A,
36:22
Rob Gronkowski and George Kittle used, And he'll develop those tricks that they do
36:25
using their bodies to create separation and stuff like that. And I think he
36:30
will develop that, you know. So, yeah, I think that those
36:32
I think the guy's a limit for the kid. Yeah, it definitely is.
36:37
So now that we both agreed on five, who's your number six way
36:43
of prospect, Josh, I'm gonna have to go with Joe All as my
36:46
number six prospect. The tackle from from Notre Dame. You know, he's
36:52
six foot eight to three hundred and fifteen pounds. He's impossible to miss.
36:57
You look at him and you're like, damn, that's a big dude.
36:59
That's a big but you know, he has great power and his feet follow
37:02
his body like he's able to lose his body pretty much at will, you
37:07
know. And he played over two thousand snaps and calls and over the last
37:10
two seasons or over yeah, I think over the last two seasons. Yeah,
37:15
he has he's only about four sacks, five QB hits, and five
37:17
quarterback curs. I think in his whole college career, actually, no,
37:21
in the last three seasons. That's what he and he know what he was.
37:22
He was a tight end coming into college. He made the So he's
37:27
athletic, like he can move, you know. So I think I think,
37:30
honestly, a team that gets him, they're going to get a big
37:31
boy that protects that quarterback. Yeah, and so I guess we're agreeing with
37:37
this one right here, these five and six because Joe Walt six eight,
37:40
three hundred and twenty pounds just the perfect mold that you want for a prototypical
37:45
left tackle, like you said, and then it's something that he could he
37:50
could build off of just if there had to be, if there had to
37:53
be any weakness here, if anything. Sometimes his technique it will get lazy.
37:59
But I feel like a bare minimum. So this may not be a
38:02
big mimum. You think he's Orlando Brown. So I think he's going to
38:07
be a faster version of Mike McGlinchey, the right tackle for the dever Broncos,
38:15
because both kind of the same frame and then both they both came in
38:20
as far as like technique, their length and technique, it doesn't match up.
38:23
But other than that, like they're just prototypical dudes. So who's your
38:28
number seven rank prospect? Number seven? For me, it is going to
38:35
be mister Malik Neighbors. You know a lot for the same reason you you
38:38
kind of harped on how good he is. I think he's the most explosive
38:42
player in the draft, and he's a great rounder, and he finds good
38:45
space in zone coverages and he's able to find his spots, get to it
38:49
and then wait for the ball to come to him and move, move,
38:51
move. You know how people say climb the ladder. He climbs the ladder
38:53
to the ball. He's able to backtrack to the ball pretty well. Last
38:57
season he had eight nine receptions fifty teen one hundred over fifteen hundred yards and
39:01
fourteen touchdowns. That's nothing short of productive. You know, when he was
39:04
jending Daniel's number one guy, I think a lot. I think a comp
39:07
for me would be to Shaun Jackson. I think he has that ability to
39:10
take the top off the defense, but I think he can do a little
39:14
bit more when it comes to getting in the middle of the field and creating
39:15
his own. Yeah, yeah, so number seven I have here. I
39:22
know I haven't mentioned this guy, and this is your guy right here,
39:25
and which I'm hang on him too. It's Romeo Adunze. It's again just
39:30
just that dude. As far as a receiver. I think the only reason
39:36
he's not necessarily he's fallen. He's still a top ten player. He can
39:39
still be argued at five in my opinion, But I think it's that nothing
39:45
really stands out about him as far as a wide receiver. He's just that
39:49
good at everything, which that's not a problem. You could be good at
39:52
everything. That's how the great wide receivers are just Malik Neighbors, Marvin Harrison
39:59
Junior. They're just so great at everything. It just kind of just sucks
40:04
for a dundee because there's not one thing you could look at him and say,
40:07
oh, that's what's gonna make him a game changing player. But yeah,
40:12
and he's just I think the only problem that he could have, and
40:16
we saw it kind of against Michigan is as far as the physical DBS,
40:22
as far as pressing him up man the man. But again that's something where
40:25
he could learn as far as his man body or just learning different releases and
40:30
stuff like that, So that's not a problem, going like yeah, yeah,
40:36
so yeah exactly, And I think a comp for him, so I'm
40:39
gonna give a floor in a ceiling. His ceiling could be Devonte Adams because
40:44
Davante Adams. I know he's a great route runner now, but back then
40:49
he wasn't that. He wasn't this crazy route runner, so he developed that
40:53
over time. Romeo Dunze can but I think a floor for him would be
40:59
Alan Robinson. Alan Robinson kind of the same mold and what he was in
41:04
Jacksonville in Chicago before he got to Pittsburgh. I'm talking about that era right
41:07
there, not how he is right now. So just solid all around and
41:13
kind of has a little bit of a neesse. So yeah, I still
41:15
think that he's going to be a good, potentially great player in this league.
41:19
So who's your eighth rated player in this NFL draft sight, My eighth
41:23
raded player is going to be Jaden Daniels. I think Jaden Daniels. I
41:28
understand the hype cooking end, but I don't think he's better than the guys
41:30
listed above him, like purely at football, you know, Like I get
41:34
he's he had this great season and all that, but there comes to a
41:38
point where you have to think, you know, like he was forcing the
41:42
ball and like there's like forcing the ball kind of moving around quite a bit,
41:45
you know, like where he was not forcing interceptions or turnovers, nothing
41:49
like that, but it was more like he had the ball in his hands
41:51
and he was just making big plays happen in college and we've seen that a
41:53
lot from players, you know. But I think he's a talented player.
41:57
He's the best duel threat in the draft for sure. He's going to get
41:59
calms to Lamar Jackson. We already talked about that. Yeah, you know,
42:01
he won the Heisman. I think he's rising the rings. I think
42:05
he's gonna go a lot higher than when people imagine to start the seasons to
42:07
now, he's gonna he's gonna be a top ten pick, top eight,
42:10
top We don't know he'll get he'll be up there, but yeah, I
42:15
think he's number ten for me a lot for the same reasons. Why you
42:17
why you mentioned when you when you put him how high you did so you
42:23
had you had Drake May, you had him number THO gread you had him
42:27
number four, right, Drake May I had a number three. Oh you
42:31
had him number three, So I kind of have this switch here. I
42:35
have Drake may here at number eight. It's just he again, prototypical quarterback
42:39
six' five, two hundred thirty pounds and the arm strength any type of
42:44
throw mobile. It's amazing. I think the biggest thing that gets to me,
42:49
so as a Florida State fan, here I see a lot of Jameis
42:52
Winston in him. I see a lot of that in him. But before
42:57
I get into his comp just like at times, okay, so not necessarily
43:01
that these are like real weaknesses, but he's real inconsistent as far as as
43:07
far as the decision making, reading the defense. That's the biggest thing,
43:12
and that's what gets him all the turnover problems. And yes there's sometimes I
43:15
can Mahomes or he could clean up the turnover problem, but there's also guys
43:20
like a Sam Howe, a Jameis Winston that don't fix that turnover problem.
43:24
And I think that's the biggest thing to me. But he definitely does have
43:27
that upside with you, I do. I do agree with you that he
43:30
could be a Justin Herbert type of guy, but I think the floor would
43:35
be a Jameis Winston who still can be productive in this league. But what
43:40
is he known for? A thirty for thirty, thirty touchdowns, thirty interceptions.
43:45
I feel like just you don't know what you're gonna get from him,
43:47
and that's the biggest reason why he's falling down this far. In eight,
43:52
that's still pretty damn high. So it's more based off potential in my opinion.
43:58
So who's your number nine? Yeah, we're not at number nine,
44:00
So who's your ninth three A prospect? Number nine? I got Olufashan,
44:05
who out of Penn's State, the big old tackle, big boy. He's
44:07
not as big as Joe Alt, but he's pretty much there. He's six
44:12
ft six three, nineteen. You know, he comes, he plays with
44:15
the power into nacity. He's only twenty one years old, so he's still
44:19
young. He has a lot to develop, you know. I think he
44:22
has a lot of room to grow. And that's scary because over the last
44:24
I believe two seasons, I think two seasons, he's allowed zero sacks,
44:30
zero sacks, one QB hit in sixteen hurries. That's yeah, that's all
44:36
he's allowed. And I think you can even put him above Joel I think
44:37
he's rising a lot on people's on people's boards above Joel because the potential,
44:43
because what he did in college, you know. So he's number nine,
44:47
he's number he's number nine for me, and I don't think he'll move from
44:51
that. Well, he can only move up for me. Yeah, So
44:54
for number nine right here. I told you about this guy last week on
44:59
the pod, and the more I watch of him, hopefully I'm not butchering.
45:01
His first name, Jison Newton. So he's from Illinois, defensive tackle
45:07
six to two ninety five. I feel like the only thing that he could
45:10
really say about him is his size, and as far as like obviously don't
45:15
have the arm size, and as far as his biggest problem is he reads
45:22
the offense too fast, which which that's a good problem to have. That
45:29
is, that's a real good problem to have. So he over commits too
45:32
much, and I feel like that's something that he could clean up over time.
45:37
And as far as undersized defensive tackles, we've seen plenty of them in
45:42
here, so I think that he has. I know we keep saying potential,
45:46
potential, potential, this, but that's what it is. You don't
45:50
know what you're gonna get. He could be. I wouldn't say to the
45:52
tier of Aaron Donald, but a tier below him. But what I think
45:57
he could be if he doesn't pan out is so Elijah Canzie last year in
46:02
the draft, he came out and I know he's still progressing, but he
46:07
could be into that mold right there where it's just a nice, solid defensive
46:12
tackle that could help with the run game. So he's my ninth rated prospect.
46:16
Who's your tenth rated prospect. I'm gonna go with Cooper Degene as my
46:22
tenth graded prospect. And you know, the White Bulls, the white team,
46:34
just wait till we get a Mexican team together. Malcolm Rodriguez. Baby,
46:38
it's gonna take a while. That's gonna take a while. But yeah,
46:43
but you know, Cooper Degene, you know, the Memes are gonna
46:45
be their white, cute, white cornerback coming in the only one there,
46:49
you know. But he's a dog. He's six ft he's six foot one,
46:52
twelve seven. He's about the party scable size of a cornerback nowadays.
46:55
You know, he has seven interceptions zero over the last two seasons. He
47:01
he allowed zero touchdowns this season and he has three pick sixes in his career.
47:06
What he's explosive. He's a very explosive player, and he completely the
47:12
cornerback or safety position. But I think he's gonna specialize in the cornerback position
47:15
in his career, you know. And I think a lot of comps And
47:16
I think it's going to be crazy for me to say, because I love
47:20
my guy Trim McDuffie. I think I think he could be Trim McDuffie.
47:23
And I think I think he's explosive, he can he can probably make a
47:28
lot of big plays. I think Trim McDuffie doesn't get interceptions. He hasn't
47:30
got a single interception in his career. But I think Cooper Degene has the
47:34
potential to maybe get more a little bit more turnover just because I feel like
47:37
they're gonna play more in coverage than they play Trier McDuffie in coverag because Tim
47:39
McDuffie does a lot of everything. Yeah, So my tenth threaded prospect right
47:45
here, I'm actually going with the other dB. He's from Bama kool Aid
47:49
McKinstry, uh six, about the same, about the same, not as
47:53
not as physically big as Cooper Degen, but He's just a textbook dB.
48:00
He has, he has a length, he's just a nack knack for the
48:02
ball, and he's willing to stick his nose as far as in the run
48:05
game. And the only weakness he really has is as far as his technique
48:10
and his straight line speed. But that's something that that it could be fixed,
48:15
and it could be. It could be brought up if you have the
48:17
right coach. And I think if he goes to I know, the Patriots
48:22
one draft him, but like a Patriots type type system where it's it favors
48:28
your DBS and your back seven, he could really thrive there. And I
48:31
think that he could have a comp or the comp for me, in my
48:37
opinion, he could be a lesser version of Marshawn Lattimore or a floor I
48:40
could see a Drake Kirkpatrick. Kirkpatrick so he was a Bengals dB, nothing
48:46
too crazy, just a solid cornerback around. But yeah, I think he
48:51
could be a real good find for any team in this draft. Who's your
48:53
eleventh rad er prospect. I'm gonna go with jerse On Newgan. Like you
48:59
did, you know a lot of the same things you know, But I
49:02
think what he did this season, he stepped up pretty big. He finished
49:06
with eight saction with the DT position, twenty eight harries and seven hits.
49:08
You know, I think he has a lot of potential, and I think
49:10
he's rising up the boards, and I just wonder where he's gonna go.
49:15
I I can't really say it, but I have a lot of I have
49:16
a lot of hope in the guy, and I think he's gonna be a
49:17
pretty good player in the NFL. Mm hmm. So for number eleven right
49:23
here, I'm gonna I'm gonna attempt to say his first name here or no,
49:29
you know what, I'm not gonna say it. Oh for Shanu,
49:30
I'm gonna just say that. From Penn State six six yeah olo for so
49:38
yeah, so again has a great size, quick athletic. The only thing
49:43
is just real inconsistent as far as as far as with his reps. He
49:47
just needs to figure that out. But that's something that can be. Like
49:51
you said, the potential, it's there, It's all there. He could
49:53
be one of the best guards or tackles. He could play both. His
49:58
versatility, that's what's making him rise up these draft boards. And I see
50:04
a lot of Tyler Smith and him from the Dallas Cowboys. So again.
50:08
He played tackle last year, left tackle, then he went to guard and
50:13
respectively played All Pro in both of them, both both two years so far.
50:20
So this dude he could be really damn good. It's just as far
50:23
as it's cleaning up the fundamentals and he goes to a right team that knows
50:28
how to groom offensive lineman, then he'll be one of the best and begetting
50:31
All Pro votes. Who's your number twelve rated prospect? I'm gonna go with
50:37
the tackle from Morgan State, Tally's Fuaga, you know he. I think
50:40
honestly, if you draft one of these tackles, you're not going wrong with.
50:45
I think any of them. They both, they all produced at the
50:47
collegiate level. He's six foot six, three thirty four with long, old
50:52
arms. He has some super long arms. When he gets his hands on
50:55
you, you're probably not gonna get You're probably not gonna get past the dude.
51:00
This dude he has over fifty years snap zero stacks, quarterback hits allowed,
51:06
and eighteen hurries. You know, over here, mister Fonso, every
51:09
time someone says something wrong, he'd be laughing, you know. But but
51:15
nah, I think he's gonna be a good prospect in the NFL. Uh
51:19
he has, he has. I think he's gonna be up there with the
51:22
with Joel and Olu when it comes down to it. All right, I
51:27
had to gather myself for a second, but my number twelve three of the
51:32
prospect here is Cooper G Cooper, the gene from Iowa. So, like
51:37
you said six to one about two ten, athletic discipline his technique only thing
51:44
really, So I like watching. I like watching as far as DB's tape,
51:47
so I kind of favor them a little bit more. And so just
51:52
as far as just it's not he's not as fluid in his hips or in
51:57
his feet, so but that's something that can be cleaned up a little bit
52:01
and he can be I feel like out of all the dbs, he has
52:06
the most upside as far as all the dbs. And I think that he
52:09
has a little bit. I'm trying to say this right, because this guy's
52:15
he's one of the best dbs ever. He has a little bit of Richard
52:21
Sherman in him as far as just a ball howking cornerback, as far as
52:24
just just a knack for the ball and just can lock down a certain player,
52:31
but I think a realistic I'd probably say a Jamel Dean, but a
52:37
little bit better, which that's saying something right there. So Jamel Dean,
52:40
he is a good cornerback. Again, he plays for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
52:45
Most people may not know him, but he's a solid damn cornerback.
52:49
So who's your thirteenth rate prospect here? Your boy Jared Versu is going to
52:55
be number thirteen for me, Yes, sir, six four sixty. He
53:00
has don't go inappropriate on me again, he has extremely he also has extremely
53:07
long arms, you know, and he's excellent. He has excellent inline strength,
53:10
so once he gets his hands on the inside of the inside of the
53:13
tackle, inside of the guard, he's able to push him back into the
53:15
quarterback and create a lot of pressure. You know. This season he finished
53:19
with eleven sacks, fifteen hit QB hits in thirty six hurries. Last season
53:23
nine sacks. So he's nothing but productive. And I think a comp for
53:25
me right now, which is probably a floor, I'm gonna go with Cavon
53:30
Thibodeaux. I think they have a lot of the same build and a lot
53:31
to do, a lot of the same things athletically. So I think that's
53:34
a pretty good comp for me going into this draft. Yeah. No,
53:37
So for my thirteenth raded prospect here, I'm gonna go to Les Fuaga hopeful
53:45
ast said that right like you were just saying for the same reasons and just
53:50
again he has versatility too, And I'm not gonna go too much because you
53:53
pretty much broke down everything right there. I could see Brandon's smith. He's
54:00
a tackle for the Colts. I see him more playing tackle than guard because
54:06
he is up there and usually you don't have somebody who's like a six six
54:09
and above playing guard. So yeah, I think that he's gonna be a
54:14
tackle and he could be a nice solid tackle in the league. So who's
54:17
your fourteenth ray to prospect, Josh, I'm gonna have to go with Dallas
54:22
Turner from Alabama. You know, he has a unique he has. He's
54:25
pretty quick off the line. He has unique First, he has a lot
54:29
of lenked and power to rest the passer, and then he I think he
54:34
can translate to the pro level pretty early. Dude, Oh my god,
54:37
when you pause, when you pauses, I think he has a lot of
54:40
skill sets. You're that says, dude, you're the one laughing about this
54:51
stuff over here, bro, you know. But no, I think he
54:53
has a skill set that can translate to the pro level almost immediately. He
54:59
finished eleven sax eleven hits in thirty three hrrs. I think him and Jared
55:02
Verse are around the same, around the same. So I think wherever these
55:06
two go, they're going to get a pretty good pass rusher. Is just
55:07
a matter who translates first. Yeah, So for number fourteen, I have
55:13
Jared Verse Florida State, the guy, the goat of Florida State football this
55:19
year. So I got to watch him a lot this year, and I
55:22
think the biggest thing is is is his athleticism and then his motor. He
55:27
has a real high motor, and then explosiveness. That dude, just when
55:30
he gets off the line, it's it's hard for anybody to stop. The
55:35
only thing that I can see is his real weakness is as far as just
55:38
his anticipation, as far as like what I talked for j Justshon Newton.
55:44
He was too explosive with that intensive anticipation, He's too slow. He he
55:49
kind of lets the play developed, which sometimes you get away with, but
55:52
not in the pros, and I think you pretty much hit it on the
55:55
head. As far as for a comparison, I see a Kevon Thibodeau here
55:59
and I think if he lives up to his full potential, he could be
56:02
something like that. And Kevon Thibodeau he had ten plus sacks this year,
56:07
so that would be a damn good player. So and finally for your fifteenth,
56:12
your last rated prospect that we're going over, who is it? It's
56:19
gonna be mister Nate Wiggins bro the cornerback six for two. He has a
56:24
high motor and he plays with a lot of effort. He doesn't give up
56:27
on the play, and he has elite speed. He has almost track speed.
56:31
I would say he finished this season with or with he only allow two
56:36
touchdowns. But you know, I think he has the potential to be a
56:38
great player in the NFL just based off speed alone, speed kills, and
56:43
I think if he can develop the more of the technique. You know,
56:45
I think he has a lot of Trick Willen in him, but not with
56:47
the whole interceptions area, with the fact that he can just make up ground
56:52
pretty quick on a player. Yeah, so I have Nate Wiggins here too.
56:57
And I think that that Rasseul Douglas. For me, he's he's a
57:01
perfect comp for him, and just the only thing that killed him is just
57:06
penalties. Penalties, that's the only thing that really killed him and put them
57:09
in bad situations. But again that's something that can be cleaned up. I
57:14
think it would be better if he's put in a Manda Man or Covered three
57:19
situation or a system that's where he'll really thrive and he could be a damn
57:23
good cornerback. But since we did our top fifteen rated prospects, so who
57:30
do you think out of these fifteen prospects right here, Well, you can't
57:35
really count the five. Who do you think is going to rise up the
57:37
boards the most out of all of your prospects? Hmm? Let me let
57:43
me look. Look, I think i'bout to go with Ashano. Dude.
57:46
I feel like he's gonna rise up pretty close to the end because you know
57:51
that size and the ability to move the way he does, especially being twenty
57:54
one years one years old. I didn't say that you're you're something, Okay,
58:01
bro Okay, I didn't say nothing. I didn't say that, especially
58:06
being twenty one years old with the raw potential that he's gonna have going into
58:12
the draft. You know, I think a lot of teams are gonna look
58:14
at them like, this is the guy that we can develop. And especially
58:16
that he didn't allow a single sack and over thirteen hundred snaps played in the
58:21
in college football, I think he's gonna rise up quite a bit. Mm
58:24
hmm. So it's we need to put a radar logo on the raded R
58:36
on this freaking podcast? Is that just me? You're the one that's saying
58:40
this stuff. But I think for for one of the prospects that I think
58:50
is gonna rise up here, I think it. I think it's gonna have
58:52
to be Dallas. I didn't mention him, but you mentioned him. I
58:55
think it's going to be Dallas Turner from Bama. And I think just what
59:01
he's able to do when just the potential that he has, I think I
59:07
think that he could just put in the right system, right environment, he's
59:12
gonna thrive and he could be like a Brian Burns type. So that dude,
59:15
he's gonna be legit. Okay, so now we're talking about the players
59:20
that that could rise up the board. Out of your fifteen players who do
59:24
you think could be a bust or is the most likely to be a bust?
59:29
Might It might be a little race, It might be I'm gonna have
59:37
to go with Cooper Dezine here, you know. I just you know,
59:44
there's a reason sometimes why there isn't a certain race playing a certain position.
59:49
But you know, and also I don't think he's not very He's not a
59:52
very big dude, you know. So I just want to see how he
59:55
translates to when he starts to have to play against the best receiver game in
1:00:00
a game out. I just want to see that. Because he did play
1:00:01
at Iowa, I don't know. I didn't pay too much attention to Iowa,
1:00:06
but the amount of I guess they played Ohio. I think they played
1:00:08
Ohio State, But outside of that, I don't know who they were really
1:00:10
playing, you know. So and the lack the fact that it doesn't he
1:00:15
doesn't have like too much great technique. He relies too much on his raw
1:00:19
explosiveness as an athlete. I think it's gonna probably come back to buy him
1:00:22
a little bit. So we're gonna we're gonna see whether if he can make
1:00:27
up ground in the NFL, like learn the techniques that the greats use to
1:00:30
get their hands on receivers and able to like you know, cut at the
1:00:35
right moments instead of just making athletic play. So for so, I'm gonna
1:00:40
go somewhere in the top eight here or not. And I've been standing on
1:00:44
it this entire time. I think it's gonna it's gonna have to be Drake
1:00:46
May here. I think Drake May just a high turnover prone And yes he
1:00:51
is a typical or prototypical QB, but just there's some things that can't be
1:00:58
changed as far as what the quarterback. There some things that are just built
1:01:00
into them where where it's just like it's gonna happen. He could throw picks,
1:01:06
and I think that's just gonna happen here. I think it is.
1:01:08
He could be a good quarterback, but he won't be that Justin Herbert type.
1:01:15
So who do you think is the most Okay, so let's take let's
1:01:20
take the top top three out of it, because that's pretty obvious as far
1:01:22
as we kind of have a similar Who do you think is the most like
1:01:28
bust proof, like the guy you just know he's gonna be a dog as
1:01:31
soon as he steps into the NFL. I think for me it's gonna be
1:01:37
easily rock Bowers. I think I was gonna go Romo Duns. But I
1:01:39
don't think Romo Duns is gonna be a bust either. But I think Rock
1:01:43
Bowers just is gonna be. It's gonna be at such a a marquee position
1:01:47
at tight end, such like a need to have a good one, that
1:01:51
they're gonna force him the football and he's gonna develop quite fast, and he's
1:01:53
already a great player in his own run. I think he's gonna jump in
1:01:57
and be great right away. So I think I think he's the most bust
1:02:00
proof player in the draft for me, or outside that top three for me.
1:02:05
Yeah, so yeah, outside of the top three, I think the
1:02:08
most bus proof player. You weren't gonna or you were gonna mention him,
1:02:13
but I will. Romeo Dnze that dude again, there's no real weakness,
1:02:17
but he's gonna be good. I could see him somehow, like how Jefferson
1:02:22
he fell what was that twenty second or twenty three something like that. I
1:02:24
could see him fall into that and just end up just being a dog have
1:02:30
nine or eight, nine hundred yards maybe a thousand yards and just making an
1:02:35
impact. And as far as okay, so outside of outside of the QBS
1:02:39
here, So who do you think is gonna make the most impact as soon
1:02:44
as they step onto their team. I'm gonna have to go with Killer William
1:02:50
It's gonna be too easy to make that decision. But outside, oh,
1:02:54
outside of QB impact, that's to be Marvin Harris. I think Martin Harrison
1:03:00
Junior is going to walk onto a team and immediately be a number one receiver
1:03:04
unless you're going to like the Vikings or the Bengals or some team like that.
1:03:08
Immediately he's gonna be the number one guy in the number one option.
1:03:12
And I think he's gonna make the biggest impact right away because he already has
1:03:15
the pro ready body. Just a matter of putting the talent out on the
1:03:17
field and producing. Yeah, I think as far as most impact, I'm
1:03:22
gonna have to go Joe alt here. Left tackle. Everybody they need a
1:03:25
left tackle, and it's gonna make whoever ends up drafting them, whether they
1:03:30
have a good quarterback or not, it's gonna make their quarterback look so much
1:03:35
better. And the offense is gonna just look look just totally different. But
1:03:39
Josh, is there anything else you want to talk about before we get into
1:03:43
this next topic. No, I think we've covered pretty much every prospect that
1:03:49
there is to cover when it comes to the first half of the first round.
1:03:52
Yes, sir, well, all right, like we did last week,
1:03:57
we did fantasy draft with four teams remaining. This time we're gonna do
1:04:02
another draft again at QB running back, two wide receivers, tight end,
1:04:08
O line, two defensive ends, two defensive tackles. Oh, three wide
1:04:12
receivers, three wide receivers. That's why I had to mess up. Three
1:04:15
wide receivers, then three linebackers, two DB's, free safety, and safety.
1:04:20
So we're gonna do the twenty tens. And Josh, since you one
1:04:26
because it went down to the typebreakers because the Chiefs they beat the Ravens.
1:04:30
I the Niners beat the Lions, but the Lions they still did have more
1:04:33
rushing yards and the Chiefs they did have more first downs than the Ravens.
1:04:40
So Josh, you get the first pick here, who is your first pick?
1:04:45
You know, I could go defensively, and I probably should, but
1:04:50
I'm not. That's not the type of guy that I am. That's not
1:04:53
the type of man that I am. I'm gonna go with Antonio Brown.
1:04:57
Antonio Brown is my first pick a B. That's that's a good pick.
1:05:02
That's a good pick. You know. No, there was no better receiver
1:05:08
in his prime that I think than Antonio Brown, and I have him as
1:05:11
my number one receiver. So usually I head towards defense right here. But
1:05:18
just so you can't get this to happen, I'm gonna have to pick Megatron
1:05:21
here. I can't let I can't let you get you get Megatron too.
1:05:29
Yeah, I was gonna go there, but whatever, yeah, yeah,
1:05:30
yeah, right here, I'm not gonna make the same mistake I did last
1:05:35
time. I'm gonna take the leader of my defense right now, and I'm
1:05:39
gonna go with Luke Keekley. Luke is gonna be the head of my linebacker
1:05:44
group, head of my defense, make all the plays, make all the
1:05:46
calls. That's who I'm going with right here. That that's a really shout
1:05:51
out to my brother, Luke. I know you're gonna like that one,
1:05:55
you know, So, Luke Keikley right there, brother, so my little
1:06:00
so I feel like this may or may not or you know what, No,
1:06:06
let me let me let me be simple. Here. Let me not
1:06:09
take these big risks here. Let me get jj Watt here, somebody who's
1:06:14
a three time defensive Player of the Year. Yeah. See, I was
1:06:18
like, I was gonna pick somebody else, but I was like, wait
1:06:21
no, let me just take the smart pick here. Let me not let
1:06:25
me not try to do anything too fancy here. Let me just take the
1:06:28
right guy. All right, who's your next pick? Since you're there,
1:06:33
I'm gonna take You know, I'm mnna secure the interior of my defense,
1:06:40
and I'm gonna go that's a damn I'm not getting any doubts in this one.
1:06:46
Brother, I'm not getting no doubts, all right, all right,
1:06:51
well yeah, yeah, we'll see. So oh yeah, and I forgot.
1:06:55
I completely forgot to mention the criteria. So five years. They had
1:06:58
to play at least five years in the twenty four four years and twenty tens,
1:07:02
and so as far as offensive lines, we could just we could just
1:07:08
pick a year. So that's exactly what I'm gonna do right here. So
1:07:12
for my twenty sixteen Dallas Cowboys, I was actually gonna I was actually gonna
1:07:18
go this this route. The twenty fourteen Dallas Cowboys offensive line okay, cowboy.
1:07:31
So yes, you may have that front line, but I got them
1:07:36
big boys up front. I got a prime tyrant, Zach Martin, I
1:07:41
got Travis Fraig. You can be comfortable right there. You can be comfortable
1:07:45
right there. I am. I'm att comfortable. I'm gonna take mister von
1:07:47
Miller as my defensive end right here. Okay, this is gonna be really
1:07:54
quick for me. Give me Julio Jones. Good pick good. I had
1:08:04
to take that real quick. I'm like, I'm like, I feel like
1:08:08
you're gonna take him next pick? All right, Well, that that freaking
1:08:15
destroyed a little bit of my next pick right here. So I'm gonna go
1:08:18
with uh, hold on, let me let me mark someone off right here.
1:08:23
Okay, I'm gonna take away the second best defensive tackle of this time,
1:08:27
and I'm gonna go with mister the Donacum suit. I'm gonna put him
1:08:30
as my defensive tackle, mister All Decade Team in the twenty tens. You
1:08:33
know. Let me store up that that little interior right there. You got
1:08:42
Vaughn right von Miller, right yeah, I got I got Vaughn Donald and
1:08:45
the Donnakum suit. Okay, okay, yeah, I was just making sure
1:08:48
riding riding yours down. So right here, you know what I know.
1:08:55
Last draft I went more, I went more defense. But right here,
1:09:00
I'm gonna fight firepower with firepower. Give me Rob Gronkowski here. Give me
1:09:05
that dude. That's okay. You can take him. You already know him.
1:09:10
I'll gladly take it. Take him. I already know who you're gonna
1:09:13
take because technically he falls under the criteria, so I already know it.
1:09:17
Will take your boy trap well safety, I'm gonna bring someone to hit some
1:09:21
people in the map, all right. I'm taking Bam bam Chancellor rightam.
1:09:28
Oh my gosh, that's a good pick right there, that's a damn good
1:09:31
pick. Okay, So for this one right here, I feel like this
1:09:39
one. It's a little bit underrated here, a little bit underrated. People.
1:09:43
They're they're sleeping on him. Give me Patrick Willis from the San Francisco
1:09:47
forty nine ers. That dude. His health was his only problem, but
1:09:56
other than that, he was a dog. All right, who's your next
1:09:59
pick? Should I just share up the legion of boom in my back half?
1:10:04
I'm gonna go mister Earl Thomas, right here and get the two boys
1:10:08
from Seattle right there. Well before you're able to get this guy. I
1:10:15
know you're probably gonna take this next guy. But give me Darrell Reeves.
1:10:17
Give me revis Island. Ah good, good, good boy? All right?
1:10:24
Well an good boy. Good. That's a good kick right there.
1:10:30
Good pick? I guess good pick whatever you know? No, it's a
1:10:33
great pick. Great pick's all right? Pick, it's all right. Pick.
1:10:38
You know? Should I what shoul? Where should I should? I
1:10:42
could get another linebacker. I'm gonna go with mister Bobby Wags. Should I
1:10:46
go with mister Bobby Wags right here? Crime? No, no, no,
1:10:49
no, no no, I'm backtracking right now, I'm back tracking.
1:10:51
I'm back tracking. I'm gonna you think I'm gonna take Patrick Peterson right here?
1:10:56
Patrick? Yeah, kah oh. I have a decision here, the
1:11:05
Arizona Cardinals. I have. I have a tough decision here that I have
1:11:11
to make. I don't want to tell any one of these or you know
1:11:15
what, I think I should be good. So I am going going to
1:11:26
go ahead and take or you know what, No, give me give me
1:11:31
b Wag since yeah, give me b Wags? All right. I need
1:11:38
to get another offensive weapon right here, and I'm gonna go with mister Adrian
1:11:44
Peterson as my running back right there, A B and a P, A
1:11:49
B and a P. All right, all right, give me sharam here,
1:11:56
give me Richard Sherman. Best going in the game. Mhm, don't
1:12:00
let us sorry, receive it like crab tree t some nice corners there,
1:12:04
you got, Yes, sir, I can wait. I can wait on
1:12:10
cornerback now, because you're nothing left corner there's there's there's some good ones there.
1:12:16
There's some good ones there. So I was deciding between Bobby Wagner and
1:12:20
Richard Sherman. And as soon as you said a P, I was like,
1:12:24
oh, thank goodness, I'm like all right, I rushed. I
1:12:27
rushed to get that pick in. All right, So who's your next pick?
1:12:33
The happed, Oh no, you're good, all right, like disconnected
1:12:39
for a second. That was weird. No no, no, no,
1:12:44
no, you're you're back to normal. Did it did it stop recording on
1:12:51
you? Or what it said? Hello? Hello? Okay, that's yeah,
1:12:58
you're good. Okay uploaded, yeah, I said my recorded uploaded.
1:13:02
No, it's it's still uploading on here. So now you're still good.
1:13:05
Yeah, all right, then I'm gonna go with mister Larry Fitzgerald right here
1:13:10
at wide receives Verry Larry fitz Abe Larry. That's nice. That's nice.
1:13:18
So, man, I have a decision here. I have a tough decision
1:13:24
here. But you know what, this where you're drafting skills. This is
1:13:29
where it comes in, and this where you see what you're made of.
1:13:32
So right here, this is a sleeper pick right here. Technically he played
1:13:40
four years. Give me, mister Troy Polamalu. Okay, I'm gonna have
1:13:50
to go. Should I fill up my defensive ends right here? Do it?
1:13:58
Do it? No, I'm gonna go with mister Navarro Bowman slept On.
1:14:02
That's very big. Navarro Bowman is gonna be my second linebacker right here.
1:14:06
People people could argue that he might have been the best for a little
1:14:09
bit, you know, people were arguing that he was on that trajectory,
1:14:12
but then injuries caught up to him. So I'm gonna go with mister Navarro
1:14:14
Bowman right here. I like that pick. I like that pick right there.
1:14:17
So man, this is a tough choice for me. I'm trying to
1:14:23
decide exactly where or you know what that that kind of just brought brought him
1:14:30
into my mind. Give me DeMarcus Whare for my other defensive end here,
1:14:36
that's where I was gonna go if I didn't go with Bowman. But that's
1:14:40
a good pick. Right as soon as I said where, I'm like,
1:14:43
oh, DeMarcus where duh? How could I forget about him? All right,
1:14:47
well, I'm gonna go with the next guy who had a great twenty
1:14:50
tens. I'm gonna go with mister Khalil Mack. Khalil Mack twenty tens.
1:14:56
Whi's just different, was just different. He's kind of fallen off a little
1:15:00
bit. Still had a great year this year. But you know, in
1:15:02
the twenty tens, he it was he was. They were arguing if he
1:15:05
was the best player in the twenty tens. I respect it. I respect
1:15:11
it. Look dirt, yeah, your defense it is looking nice, just
1:15:15
not good enough. But but right here I'm having I'm having a tough decision
1:15:24
right here. So I'm trying to decide exactly I got my offensive line.
1:15:29
I'm trying to decide what kind of play style I want for my offense.
1:15:32
Because I got the Cowboys offensive line, I got grown, I got Megatron.
1:15:36
I got Julio, But what exactly am I going to do? So
1:15:41
I'm gonna go ahead and get this solidified. I'm gonna go with mister Bast
1:15:45
Mode Marshawn Lynch. I like it. I like it. Not as good
1:15:49
as AP, but he's there. Oh yeah, not as good as AP.
1:15:54
But I never heard anything about an ap beast quick. No, it's
1:15:59
just beast Quake because that dude was that dude. So my last receiver,
1:16:06
I see a guy that could go up and get the damn football no matter
1:16:11
who's on him against three people, two people, one people. Some may
1:16:15
argue if he caught the ball or not. I'm gonna go with mister Dez
1:16:18
Bryant as my number three receiver behind Ab and Larry Fitzgerald. Oh damn man,
1:16:26
Fits and Brian on the outside, And I'm gonna put a put Ab
1:16:30
and Brian on the outside and Fits in the in the inside on the at
1:16:33
the slot, and we're gonna see how things get cooking. So I just
1:16:39
found this guy, man des Brian. I went to des Brian from my
1:16:42
other wide receiver to damn it. But for my other guy right here,
1:16:47
I guess I'm fillling out my secondary. Here, give me Charles Woodson.
1:16:51
Here, Charles Woodson as my other safety. So there are a little bit
1:16:57
of old heads as far as in this one. You need them old heads
1:17:00
on the team. You need them guys to keep the locker room in check.
1:17:05
So yeah, give me Charles Woodson. Yeah yeah, and he could
1:17:12
play dB. I have room for one more linebacker right here. Yeah,
1:17:18
you know what? And then ah, who this is gonna be tough?
1:17:26
Should wait now, I wait on him. I wait. No, it's
1:17:34
very confusing the situation right there's not that many like coverage, like linebackers like
1:17:43
that you can think of from this time period. You know, I'm gonna
1:17:45
go with someone that will kill somebody on the field and probably give them cut.
1:17:50
So if any of your guys are coming across the middle, they're gonna
1:17:54
die, I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go with mister Vonte Perfect. You
1:17:59
know, a b may be scared to come to work. You may be
1:18:01
scared, but I just know that when you come across the middle, you
1:18:06
better be prepared. You better be mentally ready to take a god dang blow
1:18:11
to the head. So I'm gonna go and put Vontes perfect as my third
1:18:15
receiver. Still, I'm a third receiver, third linebacker. They we're not
1:18:19
putting on receiver. Hey, you can put him that receiver if you would.
1:18:24
No, No, I take that back. Can I take that back?
1:18:26
Can I take that pickback? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, you could
1:18:29
take that pick back. I'll go with Derek Johnson. I'll be a little
1:18:31
bit more conservative right here. I'm gonna go with mister Derrick Johnson from the
1:18:34
Kansas City Chiefs. You gotta get you. I'm gonna take Vontes Perfect.
1:18:42
Wait, you're gonna take Vontes No, No, you're gonna be like I'm
1:18:45
taking Vontes Perfect as my line Hell yeah, Ab will be shut down the
1:18:48
whole game. That AB's suffer now. But as far as for linebacker right
1:18:55
here, you said, oh, there's no covered linebacker out there. Know
1:19:00
his name is Sean Lee. Give me Sean Lee. It's a homer pick
1:19:04
right there. But whenever he was healthy that hey hey, hey, hey,
1:19:12
they were dogs. They were dogs, they were not confident. Yeah,
1:19:15
they were bowls good in their times. Yeah. What Derek Johnson went
1:19:20
to Texas right something like that? Yeah, I think he went to U
1:19:26
YU. Do you know Atkins and Alodnada. Don't don't worry about my picks.
1:19:33
Worry about worry about you. Worry about your picks. You got three
1:19:38
more picks right before I got QB tied end O line and qrnerback. Are
1:19:42
we doing head coach in OC we can Yeah, we can do that,
1:19:49
Okay. Can I think of o's and d's right, I really can't think
1:19:54
of any ocs. We can do a head coach. Yeah, let's just
1:19:57
do head coach. Make that simple, all right? So yeah, I'm
1:20:03
gonna go with Bill Belichick. Bill Belichick, Bill, all right? So
1:20:16
right here, so I believe I have one more receiver left. Yeah,
1:20:21
I have one more receiver left. So I just need to make sure I'm
1:20:28
not missing anybody. I'm not missing anybody right here. So you know what,
1:20:38
I'm pretty sure you didn't think about this person right here. Give me
1:20:42
Oldell Beckham Junior as my third on my list. But I just wanted to.
1:20:48
I just feel like I couldn't take them above these guys that I took.
1:20:51
Yeah mm hmm, I mean I could above doz Bryant, but I
1:20:55
needed someone to go up and get the ball. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,
1:20:59
that's that's true. Yeah, we're already had Meg and Julio, so
1:21:02
so a little guy like OPI OPI j that'd be something good right there.
1:21:08
All right, so you got four, yeah, four four more picks.
1:21:14
Well, I guess you know what, I could go with the success of
1:21:18
a player, but I'm gonna go with the talent of a player. You
1:21:26
know what, I'm gonna take mister Aaron Rodgers right here as my quarterback.
1:21:30
Aaron Rodgers gonna be my quarterback for this football team because we're not We're not
1:21:36
here to win. We're not here to win a Super Bowl. We're here
1:21:40
to win one game. We're here to win one football game. So waitit,
1:21:44
guy, one game on the line, Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady.
1:21:46
You're taking Aaron Rodgers taking Tony Romo? Dude, what do you good way
1:21:53
to avoid that question? Good way to avoid that question? Well, obviously
1:21:59
I already know. I already know who my quarterback is gonna be, So
1:22:03
I'm not gonna worry about that right now. So I'm trying to think,
1:22:09
I'm I need me my defensive tackles right here. I'm just trying to find
1:22:14
somebody to solidify the middle right here. And I think I'm gonna just have
1:22:17
to go for sure Fletcher Cox right here, at at least give me Fletcher
1:22:24
Cox. Okay, Cocks, I'm gonna have to go at tight end,
1:22:33
mister Kelsey. Oh what a surprise, surprise, guys, nobody expected that
1:22:42
one coming right there. Wow. Wow. Okay, So I feel like
1:22:49
there's another defensive tackle that's been better than Geno Atkins out there. I'm trying.
1:22:57
I'm trying to find it exactly, but I don't think but I don't
1:23:00
want to share it with you. Okay, all right, it's cool,
1:23:04
it's cool. Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait, let me
1:23:09
let me do some quick, let me do some quick to take my old
1:23:15
line, because you can take old line no more. Yeah, go ahead
1:23:18
and take your old line. I think I'm gonna go with the twenty thirteen
1:23:24
Philadelphia Eagles. You know have young Jason Peters, young Lane Johnson, young
1:23:30
j Jason Kelsey, Evan Mathis, and some other guy. But you know
1:23:34
we're gonna go in twenty thirteen Philadelphia Eagles's boy's best year. That that's a
1:23:42
good pick right there. But you know what you forgot about this guy right
1:23:46
here and you're gonna be ashamed when you forgot about defensive tackles. So okay,
1:23:53
give gip, yeah yeah, give me fit will forth got. I
1:23:59
got the big boys right here. You I know who I went with,
1:24:03
Bro, I know see the Donalds gonna stop on whoever your quarterback's head is,
1:24:09
you know, so that's all your quarterback were not even finished the game?
1:24:15
All right? Well, oh wait, I have two picks right yeah,
1:24:19
I mean you still have no, you still have oh yeah, I
1:24:24
guess you have head coach and quarterback left. Well, see that's the most
1:24:28
important piece right there. So go in and give me mister Tom Brady.
1:24:31
I feel like that's a that's a given. Mm hmm. And I think
1:24:38
you have one more pick, right yeah, I have, Oh, I
1:24:43
have cornerback. And I'm gonna go with mister Brent Grimes. I'm just kidding.
1:24:47
I'm not going on with Grimesmes. That's a pool. That's a pool
1:24:54
right there. Oh yeah, you know what, you know what, I
1:24:58
might snatch your chain. I might, I might, I might. I'm
1:25:02
gonna go with mister keep to leave right here, Bro, keep to leave
1:25:05
two thousand dog Okay, okay, that that's a that's a good pick right
1:25:14
there. Just good luck, good luck trying to snatch Julio and Megatron's chain.
1:25:18
Maybe OBJ you could get underneath Triskin right there, you might get.
1:25:25
Yeah, I'm not I'm not lying, he'll get OBJ. But but yeah,
1:25:29
no, So as far as we're head coach right here, I could
1:25:32
be petty and take Andy Reid, but I'm not going to do that.
1:25:36
So I don't know. I'm trying to think McCarthy. Oh, that's no.
1:25:46
I'm I'm deciding. I'm trying to decide between two coaches right here,
1:25:53
between either Pete Carroll or I'm deciding between Mike Tomlin. So these two,
1:26:00
out of these two coaches right here, you know what, give me Give
1:26:05
me Mike Tomlin. Give me Mike Tomlin here. I feel like how we
1:26:13
always has his team ready to win, always ready, ready and prepared,
1:26:16
and he can he matches up well against Bill Belichick. They both know what
1:26:20
they're trying to do. So yeah, give me Mike Tomlin here. So
1:26:25
I don't know if you want to list your team right here and give a
1:26:28
reason why your team gonna win. Okay, so my quarterback is gonna be
1:26:34
mister Aaron Rodgers followed with a running back Adrian Peterson, receiver Antonio Brown,
1:26:42
Larry Fitzgerald, des Bryant, you know, nothing but talent. You know.
1:26:45
We still it off with the greatest Titan in history, you know,
1:26:47
Travis Kelsey. And then the old line is twenty thirteen Philadelphia Eagles behind Jason
1:26:53
Kelce, Jason Peters and Lane Johnson, of course, you know. And
1:26:58
then my defense is gonna be mister Vaughn Miller, my d Line Von Miller,
1:27:01
Aaron Donald and Donald Kusu and Khalil Mack. We have speed on the
1:27:04
outside, but we get it done inside. You know, big boys style,
1:27:09
strong, push you down the middle, you know. And then linebackers
1:27:14
Luke Keighley, Navarro Bowman, Derek Johnson. Luke keith Ley arguably one of
1:27:18
the greatest linebackers of all time, probably one of the smartest linebackers of all
1:27:23
time. He's gonna lead this defense to the Promised Land along with Navarral Bowman
1:27:28
and Dereck Johnson. You know that cornerback we're a little we're a little rough.
1:27:30
I think I got the second best with Patrick P. Patrick P I
1:27:33
think was the second best cornerback of the twenty tens and he's there. He's
1:27:38
my number one, and I came in with a le. But keep to
1:27:40
Lee brings the tenacity, he brings, the brings the physicality. But you
1:27:44
know, these safeties, there's been no greater safety tandem in the history of
1:27:47
football. And you can argue with me, argue with your mom, argue
1:27:50
with your grandma, argue with your daughter. Earl Thomas and Cam Chancester got
1:27:55
the job done. They were probably the greatest tandem in the safety positions of
1:28:00
all time, you know. And they both hit you in the mouth.
1:28:03
They know how to Earl Thomas knows how to play in coverage, can guard
1:28:06
the best tight end, best receiver, guard anyone on your team. He's
1:28:09
gonna do it, you know. So I got I got the leading to
1:28:13
boom in that back half right there. You know, with my head coach
1:28:15
being Bill Belichick, with this defense, I don't think that that can be
1:28:18
under under understated right there enough, you know, So like he's gonna be
1:28:24
it's gonna be elite on defense. But our offense, we're gonna get behind
1:28:28
ap We're gonna get the ball to our playmakers and Aaron Rodgers gonna do a
1:28:31
little trickery and get the job done. Mm hmm, Well, all right,
1:28:35
do you have do you think that would be a prediction or anything?
1:28:38
Do you think it would be a close game or what? Now we're blowing
1:28:42
you out. Well, all right, for my team right here, we
1:28:47
we have the goat right here, Tom Brady, obviously proven winner Super Bowls,
1:28:54
that dude. Then we have Marshawn Lynch, mister bas Mode. Then
1:28:59
for our wider receivers, what can you say? This is the strength of
1:29:00
our team. We got Megatron, Julio obj and even our tight and we
1:29:05
got Rob Gronkowski. And for our offensive line twenty fourteen Dallas Cowboys, Travis
1:29:11
Frederick, Zach Martin, Doug Free. And then you have Tyron Smith on
1:29:16
his prime. Yeah, Ron Leary maybe maybe left guard, maybe there's a
1:29:21
little bit of Weaknesstead, but thee Yeah, Ron Leary, he was there,
1:29:27
or no, it was McKenzie Bernard. Ron Leary was there in twenty
1:29:30
sixteen, twenty sixteen. Yeah, yeah, yeah, McKenzie Bernard, he
1:29:33
was there twenty fourteen. But even at that, it's still it's still solid.
1:29:38
You're surrounded by Hall of famers right there. So you have three Hall
1:29:43
of famers on the offensive line. Then you go to d D line.
1:29:45
You have JJ Watt, DeMarcus Where for your outside guys, and you have
1:29:49
Fletcher Cox, Vince will Fork, two of the big boys up the middle.
1:29:54
Then for our linebackers right here, this is where we just swarm and
1:29:57
we hit for sea ball, hit ball. So you got Patrick Willis,
1:30:00
b Wags, Sean Lee. Then for our DB's right here, they're just
1:30:04
locking up. You're not gonna get nothing on them. You have the best
1:30:08
corners in the game with Darrell Reeves and Richard Sherman. And for our safeties,
1:30:13
they might be old heads during this time. I know their primes was
1:30:18
pre twenty ten, but they're still there. Troy Paulamalu and Charles Woodson they're
1:30:25
the old heads. You know, AP made an AP first team at a
1:30:28
safety during this time. So I don't don't they underestimate the guy. Well,
1:30:33
I'm just saying. I'm just saying. So those two their dogs right
1:30:39
there, and we have Mike Tomlin. So I think how this game will
1:30:42
go. I think that I think more of the strength would you be running
1:30:46
the football? I'll say that d Ware, d Ware, he's more of
1:30:50
a guy that that it's gonna be a pass or a pass heavy offense.
1:30:56
That's where he'll thrive. So you could probably run the ball a little bit
1:30:58
more. It's gonna be a little bit slower, but this offense is gonna
1:31:01
just be too dominant. And you have the winner right here. You have
1:31:03
the goat. He's just way smarter than anybody you have. Luke Keikley.
1:31:08
So what you have Patrick Peterson? So what you got? The legion?
1:31:12
The boom came back down from ten in the Super Bowl. Oh you have
1:31:15
Bill Belichick. Don't need him. We have revenge factor here. We got
1:31:19
everything we need here, and he'll will actually run the football with Marshawn Lynch
1:31:26
here, Megatron, Julio, you'll win a ring. OBJ you want another
1:31:30
ring, Go ahead, Cowboys, You'll finally win a ring. JJ Watt,
1:31:36
You'll win a ring. So yeah, my team will win, but
1:31:40
this will be a close game. I see this being more of an old
1:31:44
school football since this is twenty tens. I see it being a twenty four
1:31:47
twenty ball game. We're down late, maybe like at the need like a
1:31:53
seventy seventy two yard drive something like that. Tom Brady leads us down the
1:31:57
field gets a touchdown. So yeah, yeah, that's that's how I think
1:32:00
we're winning right here, and I'm confident. So oh yeah, So did
1:32:06
did you ask anybody who do you think won last week? Between the two
1:32:13
teams? Did you ask anybody? No? I didn't, but you told
1:32:16
me that mister Marky Mark thought you would win. So I hope I changed
1:32:20
his mind in this one, because I really do think my team is better
1:32:23
than yours. But it's whatever we'll see, we'll see. So all right,
1:32:30
now that we got done with this, we're gonna get it into our
1:32:32
last topic, in which obviously this one's a given right here, it's a
1:32:38
predictions for the super Bowl. So we're not gonna do predictions next week.
1:32:44
Next week it's going to be a more NBA related pod. So this week
1:32:46
we're gonna go and give our super Bowl predictions. Josh, I don't know
1:32:51
why I'm asking asking you this. I'm I'm pretty sure I know who you're
1:32:56
gonna pick. Niners are favored by half in a point or a point and
1:32:59
a half right now, sixty percent chance to win over under his forty seven
1:33:02
and a half. Josh, who's gonna win? And why the Kansas City
1:33:10
Chiefs for the same reason as they won this week. You know, they
1:33:13
said the Baltimore Ravens were the best team in the NFL. Well they're gone
1:33:18
now. And you know, the best player in the world is on the
1:33:23
Kansas City Chiefs. The best head coach in the world is on the Kansas
1:33:27
City Chiefs. The best tight end in the world is on the Kansas City
1:33:29
Chiefs. The best defensive tackle on the world in the world is on the
1:33:31
Kansas City Chiefs. The best slot cornerback in the world is on the Kansas
1:33:35
City Chiefs. The best cornerback in the world is on the Kansas City Chiefs.
1:33:41
We're gonna get the job done, brothers. We're gonna get the damn
1:33:44
job done. You know what, the best rookie wide receiver in the world
1:33:48
after Puka Nakua is on the Kansas City Chiefs. So you know it's just
1:33:54
and the running back who's about to win his second ring and just broke is
1:34:00
I think about a break the Chiefs all time broke the Chiefs all time rushing
1:34:03
record for a running back, something Bo Jackson couldn't do. It get to
1:34:08
a Super Bowl, you know, and Patrick's playing his second one, so
1:34:12
you know he's about to win his second one. Harrison Bucker, the second
1:34:16
greatest kicker of all time, is on the Kansas City Chiefs, so you
1:34:20
know you know what that spells. Fuck Rock Purdy. The Chiefs are gonna
1:34:26
win this fucking super Bowl, and they're gonna do it with the best defense
1:34:29
in the NFL because we're the best team in the world. We're the best
1:34:32
team in the world, you know, just saying, just saying, Man,
1:34:39
I want to see you and Mark watch his Super Bowl together. I
1:34:43
would to see a Brock Purdy fan versus a non Rock Party fan. Oh
1:34:47
man, I want to see this right here. Man, this is gonna
1:34:51
do previous George hits Rock Purty in the mouth like he's done to every quarterback
1:34:57
he's played this playoffs. He's gonna no Rock Curry is going to know yam,
1:35:01
I should have stayed as a third string. Well, okay, I'll
1:35:11
say this. I know I have been wrong majority of the times in the
1:35:15
playoffs, but this is where I get it right. This is where I
1:35:20
step up. This is where I step up my game, where I step
1:35:23
up my so called analyst game right here. So as much as I want
1:35:30
the Kansas City Chiefs to win, and they have a clear advantage at head
1:35:34
coaching quarterback, which is the most important position. I think that the San
1:35:41
Francisco forty nine ers are going to win this game. As much as it
1:35:45
hurts me to say it, trust me, if the Chiefs win the Super
1:35:47
Bowl, I would be perfectly fine with it. I'll be celebrated on alongside
1:35:51
with you because so I don't hate the Niners. I just wouldn't want them
1:35:57
to get to six before the Cowboys, which I don't know. I don't
1:36:00
know if the Cowboys are gonna even get to six, but I think just
1:36:05
based on this matchup, I just think that it's gonna be a really defensive
1:36:11
game right here, and just the system that Brock Purty is in. I
1:36:15
feel like the Lions that was his toughest test for him right there. And
1:36:21
I think, not necessarily that it's gonna be a clean game. It's gonna
1:36:26
be a really ugly game. I think it could be something like the Patriots
1:36:30
and Rams Super Bowl whenever it was ten to three, something like that,
1:36:35
where it's just real defensive game. And so I'll say this, Obviously,
1:36:42
the Chiefs have the better quarterback but the Niners they have the better everything else
1:36:46
on offense that makes sense other than and well the old line's up there too,
1:36:51
the Niners O line. That's up there too. I would say the
1:36:54
Chiefs is a little bit better. But as far as running back, I'm
1:37:00
just saying, don't quote me on that. Guys, do not quote that.
1:37:04
No quote him on him on that, please, whatever I stand on
1:37:11
it, I'm crazy, you know, I just kidd do not do that.
1:37:15
Christ McCaffrey is the best running back in the NFL. You know that.
1:37:20
They didn't They didn't hear that part. They already they already clipped Murray,
1:37:24
he's miam v P. He's miam v P. See you want Mark
1:37:28
to pick your teams, and you over here just dizz of the Diners for
1:37:31
she just say fun, rug pretty and then you're like, my team.
1:37:35
Now they're playing my team. Now you really think I'm gonna sit here and
1:37:39
be like, yeah, you know what subarious words from m can't see chief
1:37:42
is gonna really shut it down or she ris no, no, I'm not.
1:37:45
I'm not doing this. You knowbarious Ward is gonna be like, damn,
1:37:47
I should have stayed the money wasn't worth it. The money wasn't worth
1:37:51
it. I should just stayed. Did he want duffy me? And yeah
1:37:56
he did, But me Sneaed McDuffie could have just been having in the best
1:38:00
three three cornerbacks in history, all playing on the same team, the best
1:38:04
tandem since the Legion of Boom, you know. But nah, he wanted
1:38:10
to go get the money and lose to the Chiefs and Super Bowl the next
1:38:13
time they come around. So you know, well, no, I think
1:38:16
the Niners are gonna win this game, real sloppy game. So what's your
1:38:20
score prediction? Twenty four seventeen Kansas City Chiefs. So you do think it's
1:38:30
gonna be a close game? Do you think it's gonna be like them running
1:38:33
away in like late garbage time touchdown or what my homes gets a late touchdows
1:38:38
get up early? Defense played this part like it does every game. M
1:38:45
I don't know. I just feel like that she's have been starting off pretty
1:38:47
hot lately, but then they kind of like die down a little bit.
1:38:50
I mean, first of the those they kind of just like it was just
1:38:54
throughout the whole game they played good, but like I feel like they start
1:38:56
off pretty hot, but these last couple and they to let the defense kind
1:39:00
of handle the deal. So I think that this game it's I think it
1:39:05
barely goes over the twenties. But like you said, the Chiefs they have
1:39:09
been getting off to a hot start, and that's gonna be the biggest thing.
1:39:13
Can can they stop them? Or can they stop them from getting that
1:39:16
hot start? So I think that I think that this game is gonna be
1:39:20
a twenty three to twenty one ball game. And man, the story the
1:39:26
storybook ended would would be so funny. As far as Brock Purty against Josh,
1:39:34
who was his biggest hater, a game would drive in the Super Bowl.
1:39:41
Oh my goodness, I would love that right there. I would I
1:39:45
would just love to see that right there. But I think it's gonna be
1:39:47
twenty three to twenty one. So you think you're going to be X factors?
1:39:53
Wait what X? So you think it's gonna be like kind of like
1:39:56
a defensive battle. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't see this going
1:39:59
up like crazy. I think the chief defenses are too good. So you
1:40:05
know what X factors on offense on offense X factors? Hm, hmmm,
1:40:16
you know what, I'm gonna put it on the guy. I'm gonna put
1:40:19
it on mister Travis Kelsey here. You know why. Travis Kelsey has shown
1:40:25
up in these playoffs in a different type of way than he was to close
1:40:27
out the season. Travis Kelsey is gonna pick apart this defense like he did
1:40:32
versus the Ravens. I think he's gonna he's gonna show up, He's gonna
1:40:35
establish it early, and the rest of the team is gonna follow his lead.
1:40:39
Mahomes, we can say Mahomes is gonna be the X factor. Mahomes
1:40:42
is the X factor in any game. He's he's the best player in the
1:40:45
world. But Travis Kelcey is gonna have an amazing game in this game.
1:40:49
He's gonna he's gonna show up, he's gonna show out, and the team
1:40:53
is gonna follow his lead. Yeah, but on defense, on defense,
1:40:58
hm hm, Taylor Swift, you know what, you know what I'm gonna
1:41:03
go with mister Justin Reid. I think if Justin Reid has a big day
1:41:10
against George Kittle and eliminates that threat, and then I think, I think,
1:41:16
I think this team's gonna gonna show up and show up big, and
1:41:19
the Bucker is gonna make four field goals in this game. I'm gonna say
1:41:26
that big pick Buker nah, But I think for the X factors here,
1:41:31
I'm calling him out again this week. So last week he was an X
1:41:35
factor for for the offense, it's Brock Purdy again. I I have to
1:41:41
put Brock Purdy here. I think that in order for them to win,
1:41:45
he not necessarily go blow for blow with Mahomes. Pause, but I think
1:41:49
that I think that he's gonna have to make a couple of throws that are
1:41:55
game changing worthy in order to keep up with what Mahomes He's doing on the
1:41:59
other side of the field. But as far as we're an X factor here,
1:42:04
I'm gonna have to I'm gonna have to go Chase Young here. I
1:42:09
think Chase Young he's gonna have to be big here. And the stat that
1:42:14
you mentioned earlier, it was the first time, what in one hundred and
1:42:16
one snaps that Mahomes got sacked today and he's played in three playoff games already,
1:42:24
and that was already through the fourth quarter. So you need to get
1:42:28
to Mahomes. Obviously, Nick Bosa, he's gonna be demanding a lot of
1:42:30
attention. But they made that trade acquisition. So who what X factor changing
1:42:38
it from Travis Kelce, Juwan Taylor. We've big money in the offseason.
1:42:44
Stop that man. Stop that man. He's probably gonna go on the left
1:42:47
side with Donovan Smith, but when he comes to your side, stop that
1:42:50
man. I don't care what you gotta do. Stop that man. Just
1:42:54
don't get a flat. I care what you do. Actually, no,
1:42:57
you didn't say. You didn't say what but no, all right, obviously
1:43:02
we can't do side bets here. But okay, so out of all the
1:43:10
okay, well we could do just for the fun of it, because this
1:43:14
is going to be the last one before we get into purely NBA. So
1:43:17
who do you think on the Chiefs is going to have the most receiving yards?
1:43:23
Okay, if you if you can't pick or I feel like that's unfair.
1:43:28
I'm trying to find something. Rashi Rice. I think I'll go Rashi
1:43:31
Rice. Yeah. No, I think Rachie Rice will lead us in receiving
1:43:35
yards. But Kelsey will have a big date you know, like I don't.
1:43:39
I think he'll have like like you have more catches something like that.
1:43:43
Yeah, but Rachi Rice is such an explosive playway and a happy you know,
1:43:46
like, yeah, that's true. In this game, he had a
1:43:48
touchdown called back you know, like because he and he running it for like
1:43:51
twenty four yards. M M yeah no he he is that dude. Okay,
1:43:58
So who I'm gonna go with mine? Obviously you go see mac deebo
1:44:03
I, you Kittle whoever. But I'm gonna just take just just a shot
1:44:11
in the dark here. I think that I think that Juwan Jennings, he's
1:44:15
he's gonna play not necessarily like this crazy factor. I could see him catching
1:44:19
a touchdown here. I don't know. It just feels like a Juwan Jennings
1:44:23
type of game. So for any of the Super Bowl betters out there,
1:44:28
whoa, I'm just saying, I just have a feeling Juwan Jennings he's gonna
1:44:31
get one. Oh did you get any squares this year? Josh? I
1:44:36
don't really understand squares. I just got into one because my my, like
1:44:41
the seabast with his thing. They're doing stuff to raise money for him.
1:44:45
So I just get the bucks. I don't know if I win, not
1:44:47
winning, if I don't, I don't know how they work. I just
1:44:50
so like there's two teams. That's like home and away, and so they
1:44:54
draw numbers or I don't know how you do it. So, yeah,
1:44:57
they draw numbers, and so the last two of your numbers they win.
1:45:02
So it's first, second, third, and fourth and then usually most of
1:45:08
the time they end at the fourth quarter. They usually get the most money.
1:45:12
So like how you pick twenty four to seventeen, so the Chiefs would
1:45:16
be four and the Niners would be seven. Whoever has those two, they
1:45:20
end up winning that money right there, like after the first, the second,
1:45:25
the third to fourth and whatever. But yeah, so all right,
1:45:30
anything else you feel like you need to take away from this before we get
1:45:33
into our so called MVPs. No, I think I think we covered up
1:45:42
pretty I covered pretty much all basically the Chiefs I could possibly cover in this
1:45:45
in this in this little little episode we had today. Well, all right,
1:45:50
so we're gonna go and get into our so called MVPs once again.
1:45:55
We do it every single week. A player that stood out from this week
1:45:59
of football. So, Josh, who is your so called m VP this
1:46:03
week? You know what I'm gonna go with. Mister George Carl Laughtis in
1:46:09
this game, I understand like he was. He was creating pressure on Lamar
1:46:15
Jackson. Sure, oftentimes Lamar will get out, that's just Lamar being Lamar,
1:46:18
but he was making him uncomfortable. He hit Lamar a couple of times,
1:46:21
even got a sack on Lamar, So you know, I think he
1:46:26
played a very big role in this game of getting to Lamar Jackson. It
1:46:29
wasn't even like sure Chris Jones was creating pressure, but it was also second
1:46:31
effort places by by George Carlaftis where Lamar kind of stepped up and moved around,
1:46:38
but George did not give up on the play and he made something happen.
1:46:44
So I just want to give a quick shout out to lajerryus Snead.
1:46:47
That dude, he made a game change in play. So that's just an
1:46:50
honorable mention for me. But I think I'm gonna I know, I told
1:46:56
you before I was gonna pick somebody, but I'm not gonna pick him.
1:46:59
I'm gonna have to go with mister CMC himself. Twenty four touch one hundred
1:47:02
and thirty two yards, two touchdowns. The dude, he was bawling,
1:47:06
and yeah, he just whenever they needed him, he answered the bell.
1:47:12
And I'm pretty sure he's gonna be doing that in the Super Bowl. But
1:47:15
all right, we got a couple Q and a's, so we got three.
1:47:18
Josh, we're gonna start with this first one. You're not gonna like
1:47:23
this question. Is Rock Purty a franchise quarterback? He's a bridge quarter I'm
1:47:40
king no, I give him. He's a franchise quarterback. I must say,
1:47:45
like he could be like that mid tier quarterback, like he shows up
1:47:53
when it matters. But if we're looking for him to be some all world
1:47:57
talk, Honestly, I don't know. Like I think he's a good quarterback.
1:48:00
He's a good quarterback, but I don't think he's a great quarterback.
1:48:02
I just think a lot of it is predicated on who's around him. And
1:48:04
I will stand by that. I understand, Like I make the argument with
1:48:09
people all the time, like, sure, you can't name me a good
1:48:13
quarterback. They didn't have weapons, a great Hall of Fame quarterback, they
1:48:15
didn't have weapons. I understand that, But this is to a certain different
1:48:18
level, like you possibly have a top three tight end Christian McCaffrey, Deebo
1:48:23
and brand you along with Trent Williams, Like it's just a stacked all the
1:48:26
way around you then you never have had a bad defense. So it's like,
1:48:30
I understand where people come from. He is a good quarterback, he's
1:48:33
he could lead the Niners too many wins like he's done in his thing,
1:48:36
and I think he could be a franchise quarterback based off that. So I
1:48:39
don't know if he's the game change, if he's the if he's one of
1:48:44
the in that top tier quarterbacks, but a franchise quarterback, yes, top
1:48:46
tier quarterbacks. I'm not ready to put him there. Yeah. No,
1:48:49
I'm not ready to put him there as far as the top quarterbacks. But
1:48:54
yes, I said this. I think it was about what like six seven
1:48:59
weeks ago at Brock party. He is a franchise quarterback and I stand by
1:49:02
that Brock purity he is and just how we're stepping up in the playoffs.
1:49:08
It really has proved himself as far as in certain situations where he didn't prove
1:49:13
himself in the regular season, Hey can you step up, make a big
1:49:15
throw, make a big drive, come back? And he's answered the bill
1:49:20
every single time so far. And I feel like, no matter what happens
1:49:24
in the super Bowl, right here, he should get a contract extension and
1:49:30
I would say this, I would say he's in that Jared Golf range as
1:49:34
far as a franchise quarterback. So I'd say he'd be around that area where
1:49:42
you could go to Super Bowl, potentially win a super Bowl. Maybe a
1:49:45
take better than Jared Golf because a little bit more mobility. But yeah,
1:49:49
no, he's definitely, He's definitely right. There's he could be anywhere from
1:49:54
the eight to twelve range, depending on how good of a season he has.
1:49:58
All right, next question we have here, it's with the same game.
1:50:02
Is this loss on Dan Campbell? I'm sorry, Dan, it is
1:50:13
it is on you, Like I feel like, I sure you have Ben
1:50:17
Johnson who makes the offensive calls, but you have to give the okay,
1:50:21
you have to give And I'm sure, and he's the one that's so aggressive
1:50:25
with the play calling. He stands by what he believes, you know,
1:50:31
So I have to I have to say it is because you're the final say
1:50:34
so when it comes offensively, and you should have been like give the ball
1:50:36
to Jami or Gibbs, give the ball Tom and Roll. Keep beating these
1:50:40
guys, you know, like this is the only way we're gonna win this
1:50:42
football game. And you put Jared goff into some tough situations, like like
1:50:45
he was having to run for a lot of his life because you stop running
1:50:48
the ball. And Jared Goffs is not that guy. Jared goff is not
1:50:50
a guy that's gonna be able to run around. He's kind of the last
1:50:55
I would say, of the of the of the tree quarterbacks, the ones
1:50:58
that stand in the pocket, and really, I said the defense by standing
1:51:00
there, he's not gonna do it mobilely, with his mobility that he has,
1:51:04
He's not gonna do that. So I really do think the decisions in
1:51:09
this game that led to their loss was on Dan Campbell. So yess,
1:51:15
these losses they are big, and as far as the whole fourth down things,
1:51:19
as far as oh, well he should have kicked the field goal,
1:51:23
I think that this was Dan Campbell obviously takes some of the blame, but
1:51:28
I'm not saying the full blame here because the Detroit Lions they just got dominated
1:51:32
in the second half. And I think the time possession exactly, I don't
1:51:39
know exactly what it was, but the Niners they had they had at least
1:51:43
nineteen minutes. That's the stat that I saw in the second half of the
1:51:46
game. So they just completely dominated just from start to finish. And then
1:51:51
the defense they couldn't get a stop either, and some stuff it just happens
1:51:56
your players, they just don't execute. Those are a couple of drops.
1:52:00
Josh Reynold, he had one big one on the fourth down and then another
1:52:03
one later on in the game when it was twenty four. All same with
1:52:06
Sam Laporta. So yeah, he does take some blame, but I'm not
1:52:11
gonna say, oh, this is just solely on Dan Campbell because there's other
1:52:15
stuff that could have been fixed. And this last question right here, what
1:52:19
does this performance from Lamar Jackson say about him? Some guys in this league,
1:52:30
some guys in all sports are just meant to get the job done,
1:52:31
and some guys aren't meant to get the job done. And it just happens
1:52:35
at your time. When it happens, it happens. But sometimes it never
1:52:39
happens, you know. And he's only had he's been in the league as
1:52:42
much at the same time as Patrick Mawho has been in the league, and
1:52:45
he only has two playoff wins to show. And I understand you're playing mahomes
1:52:47
like the AFC is gonna be tough because you're playing Mahomes year and you're out
1:52:51
the same way people played Brady year in and year out. But at some
1:52:56
point you're gonna have to make that next jump. We saw Burrow do it.
1:53:00
Burrow made that jump immediately kind of he And that's why people hold Burrow
1:53:03
to such a high standard. You know, Lamar Jackson, I feel like
1:53:08
isn't Hill to the same standard Joe Burrow is. Because Joe Burrow has gotten
1:53:11
the job done. Now, he hasn't won a Bowl, but he's gotten
1:53:14
the job done against the best. That it's up to Lamar Jackson to proof
1:53:16
can I compete with the best? Can my style of play compete with the
1:53:20
best? Because what it showed today it couldn't. Because once you take,
1:53:25
once you pressure him a little bit, once you get him rattled a little
1:53:27
bit, he starts overthinking things. He starts should I run now? You
1:53:31
can even tell in certain moments where I think it was Tony Romo who said
1:53:38
he waited too long in that pocket and it collapsed on him and he decided
1:53:42
to run too late. I think he was rattled in his mind. So
1:53:45
I think it does affect him because he's gonna win a second MVP, but
1:53:48
he has nothing to show for it, you know. I think it's the
1:53:50
same way people kind of argue with Aaron Rodgers. He only has one super
1:53:55
Bowl, but he has all these MVPs. Yeah, exactly, it's all
1:53:58
these records, but he only got the job once. It's the same thing
1:54:00
with Drew Brees. He only got the job done once, you know.
1:54:02
So it's just a matter of him. He has to get that super Bowl
1:54:08
win for his legacy to be up there with the He's gonna be a Hall
1:54:12
of Famer one day, I think, in my opinion. But to be
1:54:15
up there and considered as one of the greatest, he needs to get these
1:54:17
wins, these signature wins, and he hasn't gone them. He only has
1:54:20
two playoff wins so far in his career. Yeah, he has as many
1:54:25
playoff wins as Dak Prescott. So if anything that should that should say something.
1:54:30
I know he's the MVP and stuff like that, but DA's had multiple
1:54:32
MVP seasons. But yeah, no, he was just he was just completely
1:54:38
rattled to late today, like you said, and he had plenty of opportunities
1:54:42
to step up show that he can slay the dragon. And I still believe
1:54:46
this. He had the superior team compared to the Kansas City Chiefs and he
1:54:51
just didn't deliver. He just didn't show up today. There's there's no other
1:54:56
way to put it. He just didn't and it does affect his legacy.
1:55:00
Does because you had the one seed. It was going through your home field.
1:55:03
And like you said, I do agree Joe Burrow. He's held to
1:55:06
a higher standard than Lamar Jackson. But Lamar Jackson viewed is viewed as a
1:55:11
better quarterback. So maybe that's something that could be discussed as far as in
1:55:15
the offseason as far as who is really the better quarterback. I'm not worried
1:55:18
about his style of play. I feel like that could be successful. Cam
1:55:23
Newton almost reached the pinnacle of that as far as running the football running style
1:55:30
offense. But yeah, this was his best opportunity here. Aaron Rodgers wasn't
1:55:34
playing justin Herbert Joe Burrow, these injuries and one of Mahomes' worst years statistically
1:55:42
and offensively it was. So he's going to just have to prove himself next
1:55:47
year. And at this point he could win more MVPs and whatever, but
1:55:50
it's going to be all right. You've been to the Division A Round,
1:55:54
you've been to the AFC Championship. Can you get the monkey off your back
1:55:58
and go to the super Bowl? And when you win that Super Bowl,
1:56:00
because I'm pretty sure not necessarily, the goal post is gonna change, but
1:56:05
they're gonna say, all right, you made it to super Bowl. You're
1:56:08
gonna have to win. Now. You're gonna have to win, no doubt
1:56:10
about it. So yeah, it does affect his legacy. So we'll just
1:56:15
see how we respond from it next year. But is there anything else,
1:56:19
Josh? Uh, you wanted to you wanted to say, or you wanted
1:56:24
to do before we end up wrapping up wrapping up this podcast. I think
1:56:29
I said it all, brother, I think I said everything I needed to
1:56:31
say for this podcast. Yeah, I know you gotta figure out which jersey
1:56:36
you want? So so do you want them? Roll? Huh? I
1:56:42
was looking, bro when all of them are just like all my sizes gone,
1:56:45
Like every chiefs jersey is gone on the fantas. We'll just have to
1:56:48
find We just have to find it. You know, I should have just
1:56:50
told you to catch at me for his Spurs year as well. Was at
1:56:53
the stadium this weekend like you know you're not gonna win. I don't mind
1:57:00
getting you a Wimby jersey. Yeah, I was thinking about maybe the Wimby
1:57:03
City Edition City Edition jersey would be pretty cool, man, I'm telling you
1:57:09
so, I'm pretty sure I was set in stone. It was either gonna
1:57:13
be a Kobe White jersey because I don't know, just from this season,
1:57:17
I just became the biggest Kobe White fan. Either that or or Trevon Diggs
1:57:25
jersey. So I know, two different sports, but yeah, I was
1:57:29
I was deciding between those two. But yeah, I'll get you your jersey.
1:57:31
So you want a bet, is a bet double or nothing? No,
1:57:35
I won't do that. I won't do that. I don't have I
1:57:41
can't be doing that if you if you, if we went to two jersey,
1:57:45
I like fonts, which is buying an Xbox and we can play that
1:57:49
eventually, I'll buy an Xbox, all right, I'm telling you after after
1:57:55
I'm thinking about after the trip in March, I'm gonna buy an Xbox.
1:57:59
