• 2:07
  Speaker 2: be here. Friday night, we are in it. A week away.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: The training camp starts and we have so long and
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: we have so long in the hot days of summer
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: and now we're here. And before you know it, it's
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: going to be February and we're hoping we're in the
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: downtown together, right? So it's time. It's pumped up. Somebody
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: said to me, I'm buzzing for the football season. Well,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: If you're buzzing, then I'm hammered, right? I'm one step
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: ahead of that. I'm so ready to go, so ready
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: at this time of summer to get in the fall
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: and watch 17 and the boys do their thing. And
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I'm pumped up, baby. This is going to be a
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: pumped up show. We're ready to go, Rob. Nickel City,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Friday night, hand up. Let's go.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Man, I love your energy, and I love the fact
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: that you are amped up because I am as well.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: It's been funny, the shift.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: As the season gets closer, D.T., it's funny because there's a,
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: there's a click that goes off with me. And I
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: know that it happens for, for many NFL fans across,
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: across the country, across the world. There's just like a
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: switch that gets flipped DT where it's like, things are
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: about to get real.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Like things are about to like start happening.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: And it's like, I think it's for me, it's the
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: hope and the optimism of another opportunity. What, I mean,
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: what else can you do in professional sports? You, you
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: go ahead and you try to take another kick at
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: the can DT. And I know that, You know, a
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: lot of consternation has gone through the mafia about, you know,
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: getting so close. And even, you know, you hear the
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: owner talk about it at the end of the year
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: press conference, you know, hitting the head on the ceiling
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: and not being able, you know, what does Brandon Bean
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: always say? Knock him, I'm just going to keep kicking
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: at the door. Even McDermott used to say that. And
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: it's funny, DT, because regardless of how down you can
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: get about the team or their prospects, when the season
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: starts to get around the corner, just, I don't know, man,
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: it's just like that renewed optimism.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: It happens for me, man. It's like clockwork every year.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: And the team motto this year is put the ball
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: down and play, put the ball down and play, roll
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: it out and play. And that's exactly what we're doing, baby.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: We are rolling it out and playing a week away.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter who the prospects, what the depth chart,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: what the roster, you got to go out and play
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: one o'clock next Sunday. And we're going to be ready
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: to do that. And that's, that's what it is. Like,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: that's why we get so excited because it's not the,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: you know, it's, it's, it's not the predictions, you know,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: we're not living and dying after week one at, at
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: whatever we say 14 and three or whatever you know
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: we said to be it is actual ball we roll
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: it out and play and I couldn't be more excited.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: For that yeah I am I'm really excited with you
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: now let's break it down the AFC preview listen it's
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: funny because you and I talked pre-show on yesterday when
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: we were kind of catching up and it's funny because
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: when you look at this conference you know there's obstacles
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: and there's things that can get in the way and
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: things like that but when you look at it like
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: top to bottom I do think that we are firmly
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: in the mix.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: I do believe that. I think that we're in a
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: situation where.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Everything is kind of still, you know, in, in play,
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: like in respects to even the, even the one seat
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: that I know that the one seat will.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Be very hard.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: And I know that that's one of the elusive things
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: that we haven't been able to obtain under the previous regime.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: But for me, DT, I think that everything is on
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: the table in respects to the possible one seat, whether
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: it be winning the conference altogether and getting up to
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: the to the actual point where McDermott wasn't able to
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: get us to, and that's to the Super Bowl. I
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: understand that Joe Brady's a rookie head coach. I understand
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: that this is going to be a unique situation for him.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: But before we break down the divisions, I just thought
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: that it's a situation where, I don't know, man, I
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: think that everything could be in front of us.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: I understand the schedule. I understand the newness.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: I heard John Murphy, you heard him, you know, to
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: be talking shit, saying it's going to be the coach
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: that keeps us from it because it's the first time
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: for him.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: I don't know, man. I feel okay about everything.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: The one seed is the one thing we haven't got, Rob.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: We said McDermott's running out of excuses because it was this, this,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: and this, and then we're out of excuses, right? It
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: can't be injuries. It can't be this. It can't be
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: the bad call. He ran out of excuses, and what happened?
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: He got fired. There's no other excuse other than we
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: haven't got the one seed yet. We haven't been there.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: We haven't been ready for the one seed, and that's
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: the one thing we've got to get. And I'm not
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: saying that we're playing the excuse game, but that's the
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: one thing we haven't got. So we log in and
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: get that one seed. That might be what we needed.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: I hate to say that that's what we have to have,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: but it's the one thing we haven't got yet. And
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: we talked about running out of excuses and things not
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: being able to, we're running out. Nine years into this thing,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: losing by a heartbreak, we're running out of things to say.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: So it's the one seed, right? And we have to be,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: it's a loaded division. I can't wait to get into
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: it tonight, but loaded conference in the AFC and You've
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: got to play who you've got to play. But we've
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: been able to stand up to that conference for the
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: last eight years.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So how fixated on you?
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: Before we start to break it down, because I think
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: that our guest is on his way in, is it essential?
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: We always talk about the ability to not play that
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: extra game.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: And obviously, football is a war of attrition.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Is it that big of a deal, even more so
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: for a new coach, you know what I mean, like
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Joe Brady?
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Or is it just it's always important? I tend to
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: think that.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: It's just always important. It's always important. I mean, it
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: doesn't hurt by any means. That's why you get the
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: first round by that's the whole point of it.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: It does help you tremendously. It's not a proven record.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Every time it's a one seed, you do the buy
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: and you're good to go and win the Superbowl. That's
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: not always the case, but I'd say majority happens.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: So exactly. At least get there. And that, that week off,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I think is huge down the stretch, especially this year
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: with an early bye week, you know, you, you look
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: into that too. So it, it, it doesn't hurt. And
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's, you know, we're going to roll
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: the ball and play, just like I said, no matter
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: what seed it is, but why can't it be the one?
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: And this year, maybe being a little underestimated would be
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: a cool year to sneak in and be that top dog. No, no, we,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: we still them dogs. 17, still that boy.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: That's it. I love it. Now, as we get started,
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: we'll start at home AFC East.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: You know, DT, when you look at this division, it's
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: funny because obviously we have been running it. It had
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: been our division for the last, five years or so.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: And then obviously New England, you know, had that easy
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: schedule last year. I'll always continue to, to, to lay
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: on that one. That is just the easy schedule gave
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: them the opportunity to win and rack up so many games. Now, again,
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: we split with them. They did beat us here on,
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean? The New Jersey, the rivalry night,
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: I get it. I still am in a situation where
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: I lean bills and I wanted to get your, your
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: thoughts on, you know what I mean? Just the, the
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: prospects of winning the division, I think are still it
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: might be, it might be a closer odds than it
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: has normally been, but I don't think that new England,
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: I think that once they finally play a real schedule,
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: I think it all, it all, all the truth will
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: come to the surface. I do not think that they were,
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: were that great. And I think that they took advantage
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: of a week schedule.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But you know, Mike Vrabel has been relatively successful
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: in his entire career as ups and downs in Tennessee,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: but it was always a tough game when they played
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Buffalo and the roster got a little better. Maybe they did.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Maybe they didn't addition by subtraction, but it was already
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: a pretty good team going into a schedule. They're going
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: to have to work for it. I, I'm not counting
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: them out. That's the Patriot, you know, scars on me
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: from our whole lives, right? The, with the Patriots beating
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: our ass, basically our entire existence. So you can never
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: count them out, especially with what they shown and know
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: what budding Drake may could be, but it's gotta be
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: our division. Again, we, we have to, you know, it's
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: ain't no on the, on the road in the wild
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: card anymore. Like 1-7, it doesn't travel for wildcard games.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Let's go. Let's get back into that role. The Dombre,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: the Peyton Manning, the Patrick Mahomes ask 17, don't travel
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: for wildcard games. Win this division. I mean, the Patriots, obviously,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: the hardest foe in that. Dolphins, I don't think are
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: going to be any issue, especially because 17 takes care
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: of them anyway. But they are actively tanking. I mean,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: it is hard to name three players on their roster
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: that And, you know, and we know what the Jets
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: are too. So I, it's gotta be the Patriots again,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: you know, and taking them down. Hopefully that schedule, they,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: they come in and were frauds. Now they're not and,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: and get exposed. So we'll see there, but I don't
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: think the other half of that division is anything to
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: worry about.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: Well, listen, I, it wouldn't be a conversation about optimism
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: or about, predictions in respects to how the new season's
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: going to go if we didn't have our guest on.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, listen, he is a friend of the show,
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: a friend of DT's and I. Listen, check him out
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: on Twitter, at Sheed808. Listen, Sheed, he is the host
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: of the situation. I mean, Sheed, welcome in. Mob Files finest,
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: the founder of Mob Files.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know, man. I think that the division.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: It's there for Buffalo to take, Sheed, if we have
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: our ducks in a row.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: I understand that New England is closer to us.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: I understand they technically won it last year with that
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: week-end schedule. I think that we are in a good situation.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: We're getting ready to break down the conferences. Welcome in
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: to the show. We really appreciate your time tonight, Sheed.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: Holler at the crew.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Hey, thanks for having me, Rob. DT, how you doing tonight?
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Good to see you. Good to see you for another season.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I'm doing really well. I got my co-host in my
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: office who refused to leave the 21 month. He will
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: not allow me a few minutes to get settled in.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: But I appreciate it to talk football with y'all again
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: for 2026. I'm happy to be here. Thanks for inviting me.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: Do you think that the Bills have a legit shot
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: at winning this division?
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for sure. I am not a Patriots believer.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I believe it's kind of like a, the dichotomy of
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: it where I believe in Mike Vrabel. I think he's
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: a great coach.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: I think he's outstanding.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, I don't believe in Drake May.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: I don't put him in my top 10 quarterbacks right now.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: You know, one season, everybody want to make him the
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: next coming of, you know, Tom Brady. So let me
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: cut this off. Y'all keep talking.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: We're talking about, listen, the Patriots DT.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: It's funny because I'm wondering, okay, my, my whole premise
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: is that the schedule was too easy. So that's, therefore
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: that's why they won a lot of the games that,
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean? I didn't think that they
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: were actually playing great football. Now, Drake may turn it
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: into a pretty garbage quarterback in the playoffs. So take
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: that for whatever it's worth. The offensive line had trouble
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: with Will Campbell there on the left side. do you
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: i mean is it is it cool is everything cool
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: like do you think they'll be right there obviously obviously.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: He's got the raw talent you know he's got the
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: raw talent so if he can be coached up into
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: the next level he will be you know a tough
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: foe and a scary foe in the division i think
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: he he has the talent to do so it's just
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: if he is coached up to that level and we
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: we see quarterback failure all around the league all the
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: time it's a developmental problem right all these top picks
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: out of college they're nothing in two years and it's
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: only the few that survive it's kind of how it's
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: always been but the development is not there in some
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: cases so he has the talent to do it and
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: they invested Rob I mean they invest on the defense
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: side of the ball they invest on the offense side
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: of the ball with AJ Brown and Romeo Dobbs in
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: the receiver room and Romeo Dobbs you know so like
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: it's it's it's a team that's that's trying to win
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: now and I hope they have false prophecy on that
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: because it's it's gonna see some harder teams they are
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: gonna get punched in the mouth a little more It's
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: just if Drake May takes that next step and is coachable,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: he has the talent to be scary. But, again, I'm
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: with Sheed there. Like, I haven't seen– he's kind of
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: a pussy.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: He's an enigma, right? It's kind of like one of
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: those things. We're seeing– you know, we've seen, you know,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: CJ Shroud and Daniels.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: And all of that stuff. Yeah, no, I just called
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: him a pussy on the Friday night. It's just funny. Yeah,
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: I heard him.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: I didn't start laughing until later. And then I was like,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: you got me.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: And I was like, okay. That tickled me. I'm sorry.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Go ahead.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: No, I was just kind of echoing everything you said, man.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: We don't know about Drake May. One season in the books,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: you had a good season. There's a lot of people
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: who came in NFL who had one good season. I'm
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: just kind of like a wait and see for me.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: The Patriots, very young team.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: CJ Stroud.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think the Bills blew last season. You know,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: that was, you know, even though the narrative last year
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: during the season was, hey, there's no Patrick Mahomes. There's
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: no Lamar Jackson.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: Right, right, right. When it's not now, when.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But when you look back on it, that was
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: a hell of a chance.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: No, it was. Yeah, it was. We could lament that,
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: you know, another day. It was.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: I'm You missed the start of the show. I'm focused
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: on 2026. It's all good. I am going to, by
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: the way, Twitter, you can all get ready because I'm
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: going to unload the chamber and empty the clip on
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: McDermott over these next couple of days.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Cause by the 13th, I'm never talking about it again.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: And I, and I am going to, I'm going to,
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: I'm going to stick by that Twitter.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: So that's for all my Twitter people out there. I've been,
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: I've already said this every episode.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: I don't know, but it's over. I'm done talking about it,
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: but listen, I've got to the 13th. When you look
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: at the Jets rounding out the division, obviously the Jets
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: and the Dolphins seem to be coming up the rear.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: It's funny because obviously Miami seems to be tanking. They
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: look like they're tanking. It seems very obvious that they're
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: going around that path and maybe looking out to try
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: to get Arch or Dante Moore or whatever quarterback they
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: want to try to find a way to get if
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: Malik Willis doesn't turn out. When it comes to the Jets,
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: it'll be interesting to see. I can't really, you know
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: what I mean, handicap them, Sheed. I don't know if
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: it's– I don't expect playoffs or anything like that, but
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: an eight and nine season to me would be amazing.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: Maybe that would be something that's in the realm of
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: possibility of everything comes together. They do have, they do
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: have some, some, some dogs. They have some players. I just,
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: you know, Gino Smith, I don't know.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: You know, yeah.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Gino Smith is, it's, it's kind of wild, even though
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: he did play well, a couple of seasons.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: A couple of years ago, last year wasn't too bad.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: You know, the jets are so far off my radar.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: At the sauce Gardner left. I don't know what to tell.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: You about the Jets.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: That's how bad I know they are.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: But they got some players, though, DT, right? They have
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: a few guys. They have some guys. Garrett Wilson's a
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: great wide receiver.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, they've been picking in the top five the
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: last five years.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: They just traded.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: Quinton Williams, so I know that that hurts their defense.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: I thought they had some other guys.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Well, Brees Hall, he's a good player.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson, yep. The tight end from Oregon.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: That's who they got in the draft.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: They say Miami's the worst team in the league, so
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: they say Jets is going to come in third, and
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: then Miami's going to come in fourth.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: The prognosticators.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: I agree. Let's jump as we transition.

• 17:59
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: What I'm going to do is we're going to go
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: division by division. I'm going to tell you the team name.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: I want your thoughts. And we'll try to go rapid fire.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Maybe 30 seconds to a minute each. I just want
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: to hear your thoughts. At the end of the episode,
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: we will do division winners, and we will do and
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: come up with our own playoff bracket and see if.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: The Bills can we get back to the Super Bowl.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: It'll be interesting.
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: The ASC North, one of the toughest divisions historically because
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: it's what they call the black and blue division. A
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: lot of change going on out there, DT, in respects
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: to the coaches. You've got Mike McCarthy in the division now.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: You've got Minter in the division now because Harbaugh's gone
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: with the Ravens. It'll be an interesting way to look
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: at it because when I think of the North, I'm like,
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: I don't know, man.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: You know I love offense. If Joe Burrow has a
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: semblance of a defense.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: I think that that's their division. I think that they
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: are in a good spot. What do you think about
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: the Bengals and their prospects this year? Because to me,
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: Dexter Lawrence, I know he's one player. He can't do
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: it all, but they have like a historically bad. They
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: got a shitty defense like ours in the playoffs. If
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: Joe Burrow, he's got the weapons and offense. If they
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: get a little A little help where they're not having
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: to score 35. Maybe they only have to score 28.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: They could rack up some wins, man.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: If Dalton Kincaid was a team, it'd be the Cincinnati Bengals.
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: It's somebody that everybody thinks is good and it shows
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: spurts of being good but has never proven to actually
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: be good. And that's how I look at the Bengals.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: The Dalton Kincaid, like, microscope of Bill's mafia on Dalton Kincaid.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: That's the Cincinnati Bengals on the wide NFL hemisphere. So
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: that's where I'm at. Well, obviously, we've got a lot
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: of teams to get to, so we'll keep it at that.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: The Dalton Kincaid of the NFL, Cincinnati Bengals.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: My god she what do you think of the Bengals
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: man like I I think again if they can get
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: a little bit of defensive help for Burrow I think
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: he's got enough weapons to make some hey they can.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: They can put up points they made a couple they
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: made a couple moves I kind of like the moves
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: that they made on defense But, you know, the Bengals
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: is the Bengals. They got a great offense and no defense.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: And so it's always wait and see for the Cincinnati
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Bengals in my opinion.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: They got to prove it. Baltimore, new coach Harbaugh out. She,
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: it's interesting because Harbaugh was a controversial coach. He drove
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: the fans crazy out there. I remember watching a game
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: where Derrick Henry was running through motherfuckers faces for three quarters.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: And then he just like did not play him in
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: the fourth quarter. They ended up losing the game late.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: And I was like, I literally went to Baltimore's local,
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: I found it online, and I wanted to hear what
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: the fans like. It was like an experiment for me,
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: like a social experiment, NFL experiment.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: It was crazy.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: They got a new coach, Mike Minters, very highly thought of.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Excuse me. I don't know. I don't know what's going
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: on with Lamar. He's just weird to me. I don't know.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: The thought that comes to mind is breath of fresh air. Right.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Like I think after I think he was the longest
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: tenured coach in the NFL at the time.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Him and Tomlin.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: And so sometimes you need a breath of fresh air.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Not saying even if they are unsuccessful, I think there's
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: got to be another way to measure success this year
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: for Venter and the Baltimore Ravens. And if they can
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: keep Lamar healthy, I think that's what you can measure
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: a successful Baltimore Ravens.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: DT, Baltimore. I don't know.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: Lamar's wonky to be like, well, Lamar is, but he's
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: never in all his, in all his stuff though.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: He's never had soft tissue. And last year he had
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: soft tissue and the soft tissue, obviously chain reacted and
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: all that other BS he carried around with the rest
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: of the year with him. I, you know, so I
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: think you got it, you got it, that he's going
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: to be back healthier and it just as elusive. He
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: hasn't lost a step there. Um, you know, They wrote
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: the defenses is filled with young up and not even
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: up and coming young superstars with Kyle Hamilton and Roquan
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Smith and a strong defensive line. They beat the shit
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: out of, you know, Josh Allen in the regular season
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: a few years ago and and gave him all they
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: could until the miraculous comeback last year. So it it's
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Baltimore has stick the whole AFC North sticks to their
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: identity for the most part. Right. And they have been hard-nosed,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: and Baltimore has that Ray Lewis feel to them still.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: They're going to come in, and it's going to be
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: a team that punches you in the mouth. I'm not
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: afraid of Derrick Henry anymore. I was five, six years
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: ago when he ran all over us. But I'm definitely
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: not afraid of him anymore, and especially fumbling last year
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: and then shutting him down in the fourth quarter of
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: the playoffs the year before. That's not a factor anymore.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: The receiver rooms, A. Flowers, okay, solid. But he's not
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Jamar Chase or anybody like that. you got to respect them,
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: but I'm not over the top on them. And I
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: think the soft tissue stuff last year, isn't going to
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: be the case for Lamar. And you're going to see
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: a lot more production out of eight.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: And just to that point, you know, the Derrick Henry point,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: you know, at some point, the cliff, you got to
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: fall off the cliff as a running back. So I
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: like that point.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: It's funny.
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: You know, I, um, speaking of fucking quarterback enigmas, Aaron Roger,
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: who's one of the, one of the biggest, a big was,
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: you know, I kind of like Rogers, um, not when
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: he's self-serving.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: I kind of like, like, I like the quirkiness. I'm, I'm, I'm.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: Abstract DT, DT already knows that. So I go against
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: the rules anyway. So I, I'm always kind of drawn
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: to people like that. It's funny because him and Mike McCarthy,
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: obviously they went to Superbowl together. So many years have
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: passed now between the DT where it's like, they're back together.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: Roger says it's his final year. It's unequivocally his final year.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: He's not changing his mind. He's got this little farewell tour.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: I don't, I don't, they, They, they are the team
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: to me, DT. I've always said this. I said on
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: Twitter all the time, they are the team that I would,
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: I would, I would want to shoot myself. If I
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: was the actual Steelers fan, like proverbially, like not obviously not,
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: we're not making fun of suicide. I'm saying like sports
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: fan wise, I would want to kill myself if I
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: was always in the middle. That's what the drought was
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: for the bills. We never had the quarterback. We never
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: were that bad. We were never good enough to actually
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: make the playoffs. So we're just sitting in this, quarterback
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: purgatory where it was the drought was horrible the best
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: thing about the drought was that i met you like
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: other than that like the drought was was fucking shitty
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: yeah lives in a perpetual like they will not fucking
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: tank and like.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Just it's tough but they but they have strong the
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: strong enough history well though where they never will suit
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: to being you know not respected you know one of
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: them winning his franchises ever And they will just never
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: stoop to it. And the ownership has got them there.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: And that's what's kept Tomlin there the whole time. And,
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: you know, the same with McDermott. It was the same
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: type of– we had a little more, you know, wins
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: and losses. It's even worse, though. But it was everything, everything,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: everything the same, the same, the same. We were so bad.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: We were so bad.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Well, our drought, yes. Our drought is not– but I agree.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: What would you rather have? It's a toss-up. But shout-out Steelers.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Cousin Vinny LaManna, active, good member of Nickel City crew.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: He's out here. He listens to us every week. Vinny LaManna,
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: shout out. But the Steelers, exactly. And what's to think
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: that they're not going to do the same this year?
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a 9-8, an 8-9, whatever it is.
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: They're going to try their best to win as many
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: games as they're going to be.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: We like that in the AFC, right? We like that
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: because they are respectable enough where they give the Ravens
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: and the Bengals shots every time they play them. But
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: they're never really a threat, right? So it's best-case scenario
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: in the AFC for us, a team like the Pittsburgh Steelers,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: who has consistently been respectable enough, will give a loss
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: when we need a loss, or at least punch them
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: in the mouth a little bit when the Steelers and
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: the Bengals and the Ravens. And so I like them
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: in that little middle spot because they're never a threat,
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: but they also help us in the long run, I think,
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: of playing those teams twice.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Sheed, Steelers, I don't, I don't, I don't get it.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: I don't get what they're doing.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: The professor, he actually almost, he almost convinced me that
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: the Steelers had a good outlook, at least the one
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: of bad vision in terms of he was saying, okay,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers reunited with the coach who he came up with,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: came up with, they won the Super Bowl together. You
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: still got T.J.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Watt.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: You know, you got a really, a division that's in flux.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: So if you had to pick a winner in that division,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: who would you pick? I was just going to add
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: some comic relief to this drought and that middle ground.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: It's like, hey, we were so bad. We got Stevie
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Johnson and Ryan Fitzpatrick running around as legends.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: But you kiss my ass on that sheet. This is
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: not Twitter. I am not letting you do that on
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: this show. Do not do that to nickel city crew.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: They don't, they don't follow me in Twitter spaces.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: All like that.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: Listen, she is my man and he, yeah, man, listen,
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: I love Stevie. Like we love it. They were not great, great, great,
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: great players, but they were great for us. And it
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: was a, We were in the desert, man.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Our best player was our punter for like a five year.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Our pro bowler was our punter for like five years.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: They run around like they damn Marino and Mark Clayton
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: and duper.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: Oh man.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: It's when, it's when you are abused and you are beaten.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: Sometimes you will go to your, your abuser and you'll just,
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: it's that Scheiden Freud or whatever it's called. Like we
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: were just abused by the franchise. We were holding on
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: to anything that we could. And that's where you get
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: the legends. Like, you know, Fred Jackson and Stevie and Fitz.
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: Like Fitz is a legend and he deserves.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: To be a Sheed. So you're not going to guess.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: In what city? Buffalo? That's not happening. Yes, he's a
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: legend here. Yes, just here.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: All right, Cleveland.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: Sheed, quickly.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: We're not going to waste time on them as we
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: walk on. But Cleveland, nothing going on. Really the most
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: interesting thing about them, Sheed, to me, is just the
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: quarterback and what they're going to do. Again, it's kind
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: of like Pittsburgh-ish. They're wasting time by playing Deshaun Watson
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: by me. Like just play Shador. find out if he
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: could play, have him be as many games as possible.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: It's clear that Jimmy Haslam will not let this investment
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: go all the way down the toilet. He wants a
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: little return on investment.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: I think, I think you're absolutely right. And I couldn't
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: cover it any better. I just think, I don't think
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Shador can play either.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: Right. No, I don't. I don't necessarily either, but, but
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: they are wasting time.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: What do you do? I think that is an interesting thing, right?
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: I guess a part of me love a comeback story.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: irrespective of how bad he may be as an individual.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: So I'm trying to see what Deshaun Watson actually does.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: No problem.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: And Shador Sanders, it's hard to go against a Christian guy, right?
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Oh my God. But I'm so tired of the Sanders.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: It just doesn't.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: Tim Tebow, just because he was a Christian, we knew
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: he couldn't fucking play NFL quarterback.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: It's hard to say. I'm tired of looking at the Sanders, man.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: I think the Sanders shine have worn off and people
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: are tired of them. And I don't want him to
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: fail because he's a Sanders. I just think I don't
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: think he's a good ball player.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: We'll find out. It's funny. Deion won last night. A
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: nice little upset the last night over Georgia Tech.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: DT, Cleveland, you know, whatever. They trade Miles Garrett. I
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: think that They did good on that trade now. They
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: did very well on that trade, to be honest. And
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: it's actually in that vein. Again, I keep talking about
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: Pittsburgh and like, don't just sit in purgatory. Don't just
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: sit in the middle now. Obviously, they're on the bottom.
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: But Miles Garrett, like him on the team this year,
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: that doesn't do anything. We just saw him break the
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: sack record. I think he had five sacks in a
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: game that they lost last year. That's the definition of
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: wasting an asset.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: They're a bad Jets, and the Jets are the Jets.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: They're a bad Jets. No comment on the Browns. Move on.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: I love it. The AFC South As we transition, you know,
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: interesting division.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: A lot of people DT think that the soup, the,
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: you know, the AFC representative is coming out of this division.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: A lot of people like Houston. I don't, I don't
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: even look at those people like they're crazy. DT.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: The problem for me is that much like she talks about,
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: he's not a Drake may believe her.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: I do not believe in CJ Stroud.
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: So because I don't believe in him so vehemently, I don't,
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: I can't come up with a path for them to
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: win one seed. Like you said, in the beginning of
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: the show, one seed will help a lot. If they
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: get the one seed, then you've got to win two
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: games and they're both at home. That would help a lot. However,
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: I don't even trust him on two games, like the
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: divisional round of the AFC. I don't trust CJ Stroud, DT.
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: For me, a lot of hype for this team. Their
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: defense is elite. It harkens back to some of the
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: great defenses of the past. DT, I just can't, I
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: can't trust them because I don't trust CJ and that
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: that's where it stops for me. Like, and I get
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: the defense is great. They're not the fucking 85 bears.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: So because of that, I just, I don't know.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: I'm in a biased mindset because I'm so zeroed in
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: on week one now and, and wanting to get back
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: and Hey, what I said about the Jaguars those years
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: of when they, they beat us for wild reasons. Like
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: we owe the Texans one 17 owes the Texans one
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: and we'll get into that. So the biasness of this
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: wants me to call, you know, they're all soft. Screw
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: the Texans. They're not as crazy as we think they are, but,
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Last year, I'll ask you, Rob, did you believe in
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnold? Did you believe, you know, right? And the defense,
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: the defense willed him to victory.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: And he played well in the playoffs, too.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: The defense sometimes does win championships. It's not every year.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: It's not a mainstay. There's been great offenses and great
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: quarterbacks that do it, too. But sometimes the defense does it.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: And last year, that was the case, right? And so,
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: you know, could it be the case in a loaded
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: AFC division? Possibly. That's where I got to come back
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: to earth a little with that strong a defense. Is
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: it enough to get you late in the playoffs? But
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: then I don't believe in C.J. Stroud or anything like
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: that either, but I didn't believe in Sam Darnold either,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: and look what happened. So I got to give him respect,
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: but I'm already a week. We're a week and a
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: couple days away. I'm zeroed in on 1 p.m. next Sunday,
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: and the Texans are going to get their ass kicked.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: So that's where I'm at with them. They're soft. They
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: ain't going deep in the playoffs. Maybe ask me after
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: week four or five. I'll change my tune, but right now, nah.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: I like it.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, DT, he gave the disclaimer. He said he
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: was biased, so he gave the disclaimer. Ashid, I mean,
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: Houston seems like they're a sexy team. A lot of
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: people like them. I don't know, man. I think I
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: do understand what DT is saying fundamentally, that a defense
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: can carry you. And that's scary. You play against those guys,
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: it's scary any week. Week one, all the way to
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: the wild card round, or if they get the onesie,
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: the divisional round. That's a scary proposition to go up
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: against that kind of defense, but CJ, there's so many
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: things I do not like about him and his second
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: season that, and then obviously last season.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: I just don't know, man.
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: I mean, the Pittsburgh game, he acted like he couldn't
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: hold the ball or like he didn't know, you.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: Know what I mean? Like it just, I didn't get it.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: Was it Pittsburgh? Did they play Pittsburgh? Who was in
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: the playoffs that they played?
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: I thought they played New England.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: No, they played Pittsburgh, then New England.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: They played Pittsburgh first. Yeah, he fumbled like four times there.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: And then they did it in New England too.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: And they still won.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: What? I don't know, Chee, you tell me. They are
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: a sexy team for an AFC representative for the Super Bowl.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: They really are.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: They're a team that is hard to put your finger
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: on because they got a great defense, right? And then
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: I was one of those ones who was on a
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: bandwagon for C.J. Stroud early. Now he's kind of regressed
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: in terms of next Sunday. You know, I hope everything
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: that DT said is correct, to be honest with you.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: But I think when it comes to Buffalo and Houston,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a tough game. But I don't
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: believe in them as a team, no, obviously. But I'm
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: hoping everything DT said.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: No, it's not obvious. They're one of the favorites for
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: the AFC. Listen, Sheed, I guess I don't even know
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: where to go. You got to go with the playoff teams.
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: Obviously, Indy threw up on themselves last year by losing
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: all those games straight. Listen, Jacksonville made a lot of strides,
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: and I thought that we were going to beat them,
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: but they were a formidable foe, and they obviously proved
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: to be a formidable foe last year in the wildcard round.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: Do they build on this momentum, or is it back
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: to earth? Liam Cohen had, he had, what's it called,
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence playing the best football that we have ever
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: seen him play. That's Doug Peterson included. Obviously, he had
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: the Urban Meyer shit year before that. That was the
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: best football. That was all the hype of sunshine coming
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: out of Clemson. This is the guy national championship. This
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: was the hype. He looked, he did look the part
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: last year. He looked the part. Yeah.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: And I would agree with you. And to be honest,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: if the bills wasn't playing the Jaguars, they were one
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: of my teams that I would like to root for
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: because you want to see new blood in the playoffs.
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: And so I think, To see Jacksonville go on some
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: type of, not a domination run, but a run.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: They had a nice run. And they won some big games, too.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be mad at that. I wouldn't be mad
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: at them. But then again, it's the Jacksonville Jaguars, right?
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Right, right, right.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: So, you know, you never know what you're going to get.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: And I hope Lee Cohen has Trevor Lawrence. Trevor Lawrence
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: is one of the nicest guys.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: In the world.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: So, how can you not root for him?
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: DT, I mean, can they build on this momentum? They
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: had a good season. It wasn't a great ending.
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: Buffalo coming into your house and ending your season is
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: not the way you wanted the season to end, but
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: they won the division.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: They checked off a lot of the boxes.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: This division's a bunch of made-up franchises. It's a bunch
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: of made-up franchises. The Spansions teams and Fan bases that
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: aren't true, it's a made-up division. They're made-up franchises in
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: this division. My least amount of respect in the NFL
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: goes to the AFC South, to be honest. Across the board,
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: these franchises are not real. They're booty cheeks. The fan
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: bases suck. It's a horrible division. It's the worst division
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: in the NFL. They've gotten better record-wise, and they've got
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: to be respectable.
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: So on it tonight i'm just saying jacksonville jacksonville we
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: had our our run-ins with finally got them got their
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: get back on that monday night game when we busted
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: them by 40 and then went to the wild card
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: last year and and gutted out that one so finally
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: got them back for that with wasting all our money
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: going down for three points in the playoffs and then
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: it rains off you know.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: So i so you know that's where i get like
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: these and then it's like you go to the you
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: know restaurants and bars and people are like yeah jacksonville
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: like that's nobody's a jaguars fan like really who's a
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: jaguars fan you know and the yellow duval.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: I've never i've never seen a jaguar like it's something.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: You do so you've never seen that's my rant on
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: the nc south just being a made-up division but.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: DT has a point. You've never seen a Jaguars jersey
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: out in public.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: Right. It's not like it's just not there. The diehard
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Jaguars kid was the weirdo in your class. It's not it.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: But they did come around. They did come around last
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: year and As Bills fans, we want to see what
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Liam Cohen, the young offensive guy, goes into a good
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: quarterback and a good offense and has that upswing and
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence is playing the best. We want to see
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: that with Joe Brady and Josh Allen this year. This
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: is what we're fucking hoping for. As the young offensive coach,
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: this is what we're fucking hoping for. Exactly what Liam
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Cohen did with the Jaguars last year. So they didn't
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: have the moxie and the stature that when they ran
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: into Buffalo, they saw it. They didn't have that moxie,
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: but I hope we can ascend to that level. So
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: that's what I'm taking the positive of the Jacksonville Jaguars
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: is that Liam Cohen, the young offensive guy doing that,
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: hopefully that's what we get with 1-7 this year in
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: Joe Brady. But, you know, again, hopefully they cannibalize themselves
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: with a bunch of fake half-good teams, fake franchises, fake cities.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: See you.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Hey, DT, you got me thinking about where the– Where
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: was the last time I seen a Jaguars jersey? Who
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: was wearing it and why?
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: And if we got any Nickel City crew listeners, like
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: diehard listeners that live in Jacksonville, I apologize right now.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: But Jacksonville is a shit city too. It's not really Florida.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: It's too north in Florida to be Florida. Jacksonville sucks.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: It rains there. It's not really even Florida. You don't
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: get the benefits of Florida, but you're in Florida. Jacksonville sucks, man.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: Listen, I went down there.
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: I went down there when we broke the drought. I
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: was very happy to go. It was a horrible game.
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: I didn't even care for the first half of it
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: that it was a horrible start to the game because
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: I was just so happy we were back in the playoffs.
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: The people of Jacksonville, from Nickel City crew, from, listen,
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: no shade coming from Crip over here, man.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: DT is his own person.
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: His thoughts do not necessarily reflect the thoughts of Nickel
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: City crew. Now, DT, Indy, before we get to the
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: last division and wrap. up and give our division winners,
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: and then we'll come over with our bracket, DT, Indy?
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know, man. It was Dr. Jekyll, Mr.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: Hyde.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: It couldn't have been more opposite.
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: One week, you're on top of the world, and they
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: look like one of the best teams in the league,
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: and then it just, it just all crazy.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: It was half the season, half the season, right? I
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: think it was front of the season, front of the season.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: Great back of the season, bad. And you know, Dan,
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: Danny Jones had a good showing. Is he longevity? Is
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: he the answer? That's what, you know, probably not. Jonathan
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: Taylor's a dog, but they got rid of Michael Pittman,
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: who was a great receiver for him. And they invested
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: in Alec Pierce who had bought a couple of deep
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: balls and they paid him $ 50 million. And he's not
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: even on the field and training camp. So I don't know. Defensively,
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: I can't name, you know, other than Sauce Gardner, it's
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: tough to name a guy on their defensive team. So, yes, respectable,
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: cannibalize each other, whatever. But it's a team that was
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: false prophecy last year for sure, you know, with how
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: good they turned out to be. Danny Jones.
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: But Danny Jones is not doing that long term.
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: Their offense was cooking like hot, hot grease. They were cooking, DT.
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: So you knew it was fool's gold.
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: From the beginning.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't say that. I didn't say that. I
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: said the true, you know, the true colors come out, obviously.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, Dane Jones got hurt. So I guess that's,
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: so we'll see. We'll see. I mean, maybe I'm eating
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: my words. That's a good point. You brought me straight
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: up on that, Rob. But, you know, I got to
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: give respect to the city of Indianapolis. Got the family there.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: I don't hate Indianapolis.
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: You just called it a fake division. You said fake cities.
• 41:07
  Speaker 6: Well, it's a fake division because they weren't even a team.
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: They moved from Baltimore to be this team anyway. Yeah,
• 41:14
  Speaker 6: they did. So it goes to that theory. So I
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: don't have respect in that regard. But the city of Indianapolis,
• 41:20
  Speaker 6: you know, aunt and uncle, cousins lived there my whole life.
• 41:23
  Speaker 6: I've had some good times there. Shout out Indianapolis.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: It's okay. Midwest kind of sucks overall, but it's okay
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: in Indianapolis.
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: Sheed, please save the show because we need to get
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: off of the AFC South.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't. I mean.
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: He's right, man. Because the West, AFC West, we got
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: some juicy nuggets in there. Please save the show. AFC South,
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: Indianapolis Colts. I mean, they were cooking.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's right, man.
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: They were on fire.
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: JT.
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: You know that?
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: I like asking about the talent.
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: He got paid a big contract. They were, they were cooking.
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: They looked like they were about to be the one
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: seed or maybe a two seed. They were cooking.
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be honest, man.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: They like the jets. They so far off my radar.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? I'm actually, I hear that
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison jr. Is not even looking at.
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: Down in Arizona. You mean? Yeah.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: That's the legend in the, yes, that has nothing to
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: do with anything. Okay. You guys don't want any more
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: AMC South talk. We will move on. I know when
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: to take a hint.
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: As we wrap up on this segment, before we give
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: our predictions and get the tailgate report, AFC West gentlemen,
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: one of the most intriguing divisions. We obviously all would
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: assume that the Raiders will come up the rear in
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: respects to the fact that they've got a rookie quarterback
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: that just named Kirk Cousins the starter.
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: So not too much to be said about them. Ashton Gentry,
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: you'll watch.
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: You'll see how things progress in his second year at
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: running back, but not too much expected of them.
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: The other three teams, man, this is juicy shit as
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: we end the show tonight. Listen, Cheed.
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Denver is a good to great team.
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: Okay. I will give them that.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: We should have beat them. That's number two.
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: I don't know why the camera is so close tonight.
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: We should have beat them in that game. We deserve
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: to win that game in respects to when I say deserve,
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: I'm not absolving 17 of his turnovers. I'm not saying that.
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: I'm saying the fact that we fucked up so much.
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: And still we're right there. Let's it's clear to me
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: that we were the better team. However, they got it done.
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: They found a way calls, whatever. I don't want to
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: hear DT's mouth on that. What I do want to
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: hear sheet is that they were 11. I read it
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: and I was blown away. 11 and two and one
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: score games. I don't care who we are. I don't
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: care what kind of horseshoe you got stuck up your ass.
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: There is no way that that's being replicated. In my opinion,
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: that's my opinion. Sheed, please tell me what you think
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: about Denver. Their defense is great. Obviously, Sean Payton, he's
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: a dick, but he's a great coach. Just because you're
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: not a nice guy doesn't mean you're not good at
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: your job, just like Belichick. He's a great offensive coach.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: What do you see the prospects of this year?
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: I think you're absolutely correct. Sean Payton is a hell
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: of a coach. I think Denver's going to be really good.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: 11-2 in one-score games means that you're not beating yourself,
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: in my opinion. And so Denver is going to be
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: solid this year.
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: They were down by like four touchdowns to the Giants,
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: but yeah. Okay. No problem. No, no problem.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: He scored 13 points.
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: Against the Jets in London. I watched that shit one
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: day at 9 a.m. getting ready for the Bills game,
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: but okay.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, any team with Sean Payton, man, to me has
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: got a chance.
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: I got nothing negative to say about that.
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: So you think that they'll be strong again this year,
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: regardless of their one score luck last year?
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, not a problem.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: Luck is, you make your own luck if you play,
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: what is that, 14 games? 13 games?
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: That's 13 games, and that's 13 close games.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but if you win 12 or 11 of those,
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of, I don't know.
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: It becomes a trait.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: It wasn't all flukes, but some probably were flukes in
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: that run. The year before that, Minnesota Vikings, shout out
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: Minnesota Vikings, Kyle and Paige here, fourth annual volleyball tournament,
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: let's go. Minnesota Vikings were in that 10-1 in one
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: score games the year before that, and obviously that That
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: comes back and changes it. It's the NFL. You can't
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: cheat it. You can't gimmick it. You do have some traits.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: You're right. Some of that 11-2 was because of what
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: they did. But it's tough to stay that tempo again.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: So I understand what you're saying too, Rob, in that regard.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: But the defense is still going to be solid. Sean
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: Payton has only proven he can develop quarterbacks and throw
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: good quarterback play out there. Bo Nix shows that he
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: has the intangibles to make that happen. They go out
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: and get Jalen Waddell. They have already a strong Cortland Sutton.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: You know, they improved the team that went to the
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: AFC championship game, right? They improved the team that went
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: to the AFC championship game. So it's going to be
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: a foe out there. And again, we talk about the
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: AFC West over and over and over again about cannibalizing themselves.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: But the Denver Broncos, you know, I think are ascending
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: into a solid team that's going to be, you know,
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: I think they've already knocked out the Chargers and we'll
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: get to that next. But I think they've already knocked
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: out the Chargers. It was Chiefs, Chargers, and the Chargers
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: never had the balls to knock out the Chiefs in
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: all those years. And I think the Broncos have a
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: lot better chance to knock out the Chiefs than the
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: Chargers ever did when it was Chargers-Chiefs.
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: Interesting. Ooh, I like that last point.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: I like that take, too.
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: I like that. Yeah, I'm going to have to steal that.
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: All right, well, DT, since you already got us down
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: that road, the Chargers, I'm a Michigan man, so you're
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: only going to get me to talk so much shit.
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: I love Harbaugh, and I think that, yes, they didn't
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: have the balls. I think they have the balls now.
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: I think that they have the type of team now.
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: You know that I'm a Josh McDaniel fan. Again, I'm
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: a contrarian. Different doesn't mean, quirky doesn't mean that you
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: are not good at your job. That has nothing, one
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: doesn't have to do with the other. Harbaugh and McDaniel
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: are both quirky and weird-ass motherfuckers, but they are good
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: at their job. I think that I was, you already know,
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: back when we hired Joe Brady, I was willing to
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: hire Josh McDaniel.
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: I wanted Dable.
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: If it wasn't going to be Dable to come back home,
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: then I was okay with him. with McDaniel because I
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: thought that he would bring a fresh approach.
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: DT, I like the Chargers. I like Harbaugh. And again,
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: like you said, you were biased. I'm biased. So, you
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: know what I mean?
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: He's the coach that brought back a national championship to Michigan,
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: but he's a hell of a coach and he's proved
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: it everywhere he's been.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: It's easy to say the Chargers are the same. They've
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: always been right. The team that's like pretty good, but
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: they're never actually a threat. And in the playoffs, you know,
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: they kind of go away. It's easy to say that,
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: but it's different vibes now. Harbaugh's got a different system in.
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: It's a different situation. You know, Herber is a different look.
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: They've added to their offense and defense. They have up-and-comers,
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: you know, Young with Omari and Hampton in this zone
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: run offense that Josh McDaniel is so good at opening up.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: They have the running backs to handle that. So it's
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: easy to say the Chargers are always what they're good
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: but not good enough. But now it's a little different.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: It's a different coaching scheme, different style, and I hope
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: it's the case. Like I talked my point about the
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: Steelers earlier, being kind of in the middle but being
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: good enough to give us licks to our opponents when
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: we're sleeping. This is what we need the Chargers to
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: do with the Broncos and the Chiefs. I still put
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: them in that third slot, but I think this is
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: what the Chargers need to do. They're good enough to
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: be pesty, but I don't see them as a threat yet.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: But it's not the same old Chargers.
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: Sheed, what do you think about the Chargers? What do
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: you think about their prospects? I don't know. I mean,
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: I said what I said. I like them. Yeah.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: The line has them at nine and a half wins.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: So, and, and, and a potential playoff team.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: And then, so that the question is, is, you know,
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: what does the rest of the division? So we said
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: Denver is going to be good. I think they will probably,
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: you know, fight it out for what the cheese for
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: the second best team in that division. I'm actually kind
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: of optimistic about it. Right. I, I, you know, the,
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: The jury seems like it's always out on Justin Herbert,
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: and it's still out after all these years for the
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: most part for me. So I see the Chargers. I
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: think I can go with that line of nine wins
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: this year.
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I like them. I
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: don't know what that means that they can challenge Denver.
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: I've kind of already tipped my hand. I think that
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: Denver's coming back. I do think that there is a
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: level of luck to some of it, not all of it.
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: I give Shreed, excuse me, credence on that. I just,
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: I think 11-2 is very hard to replicate. So we'll
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: see how it goes. Last team, The nemesis, the boogeyman
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: from the playoffs. We all know about the Kansas City Chiefs.
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: It's interesting because I fight with motherfuckers on Twitter and
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: remind Chiefs fans like Snead and others that he's been
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: going on his world troll tour. 15 hasn't played that
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: well the last three years. And if you want to
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: shoot me for it, if you want to get mad
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: at me about it, get mad at yourself. The stats
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: don't lie. Obviously, last year he suffers that injury, which impacts.
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: Some of it. But they were shitty before. He got hurt.
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: So I don't, he hasn't played the best. Obviously, you
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: genuflect to the champs. They've got the rings that we want,
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: so I can only talk shit so much. But as
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: of right now, heading into the 2026 season, I don't
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: fear them like I used to.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: I guess my take on the Chiefs goes like this.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of, and I'm not saying nervous, they are
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: the nemesis, but I'm kind of worried that Patrick Mahomes is,
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: is going to get out on the football field a
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: little bit earlier from a medical standpoint than he should.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: What is he trying to prove by getting ready for
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: week one? We saw him run people over. I think
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: at his position, he doesn't have to prove that he's tough.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: I'm concerned that he's getting out there a little bit
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: too early. In terms of the Chiefs, I don't think
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: they're the same Chiefs. I think I think that era,
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: we're past that era. Right now, it should be the
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills era. We need to snatch the opportunity because
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: I don't think the Chiefs is going to be the
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: perennial Super Bowl favorite as they've been in recent memory.
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: Okay. We'll see. Let's go around.
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: As we wrap up the show, we get this Nickel
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: City crew tailgate report in. Division winner sheet, AFC West.
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: And what we'll do is, between the three of us,
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: We'll just come up with a consensus. Who's going to
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: win the West, Sheed? You say Denver, right, the way
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: you spoke about them?
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, yeah, Denver. Yeah, I'll give it to Denver.
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: DT, what would you say? I'd say Chiefs.
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: We all don't count them out.
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: It's like the Patriots. And I'd say probably the Chargers. Damn.
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: All right. Okay, that kind of fucks it up. All right.
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: It'll probably take at least 12. What's the one seed?
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: Let's do that real quick. What's the one seed record?
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: 13.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: 13-4.
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: 13-4 gets a one seed. Yeah, 13. So we'll come
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: back to that then. So we've got AFC West. Who wins?
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: I'm like, damn, we all pick different.
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: It's a collaborative. We all pick different.
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: Raiders. We all pick different.
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: Raiders.
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: I think I would lean more Denver, to be honest,
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: before I led to the Chiefs.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, I could talk myself into Denver. I'm just
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: on that, like, This is just the Patriots scars of
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: me in the drought. The Chiefs give off very, very,
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: very similar vibes. And you just, when everyone's talking about, oh,
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: my home stinks, and they don't have a, they don't
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: have a, like, they're going to come out and go
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: 13-4 and be just as good as they have ever been. Like,
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: that's just, yeah.
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: All right. The winner of the fake division, DT. The
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: pretend division, ASB South.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, all right. Let's give it.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: Tennessee Titans.
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: No, you better not do that.
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: Give it to the Texans.
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah. You agree, Sheep? Yeah, I agree.
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: I agree.
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 53:14
  Speaker 4: The winner of the AFC North Tough Division. I'm saying
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: Cincy because I think that they can get a little help.
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: I think the offense is too explosive.
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to go Pittsburgh.
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh. The purgatory.
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: I can't. I can't. I'll go Cincy for the similar
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: reason of the Chiefs, not as the highest level, but
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: similar reasoning to the Chiefs. You can't count them out yet. Bengals.
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: The North. Excuse me, the North. The East. Everybody, Buffalo,
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: we're going to find a way to get this back.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: We win beyond Nickel City crew if we didn't pick
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills.
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: Motherfucking right. I know that. All right. Playoff teams. I've got.
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: I've got Denver as the one seed. We'll just put
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: them in just for the cause of the exercise tonight
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: at 13-4. I have Houston as the two seed. Doesn't
• 54:06
  Speaker 4: really matter about the record. Obviously, the record would be
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: 13-4 with some tiebreakers or worse. Buffalo has a three seed.
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: Cincinnati has a four seed. Let's get the rest of
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: our playoff participants so we can do this. The five seed,
• 54:17
  Speaker 4: I would make a push for Baltimore just because of Lamar.
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: It's got to be Chiefs, Chargers, Baltimore. Chiefs, Chargers, Baltimore.
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: You would agree in some order?
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: Chiefs? Yeah, I agree. Chiefs, Chargers, Baltimore. I kind of
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: like that, to be honest. I mean, but I kind
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: of want to throw Jacksonville out there. Is there another
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: team that you would love to put in? Okay. Jacksonville. Chargers, Baltimore.
• 54:44
  Speaker 4: I could see the Jaguars in over Baltimore, DT.
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: Are we cool with that? Let's give them a seven.
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what I said about Jacksonville tonight, I don't think
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: I can say yes.
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: You're not even allowed in Jacksonville no more after tonight.
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: No, not after tonight. Duval, shut up. Not after tonight.
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: All right. One seed is Denver. Two seed, Houston.
• 55:05
  Speaker 4: We put in the three seed as the Buffalo Bills.
• 55:08
  Speaker 4: We put in the four seed as the Cincinnati Bengals.
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: One in the north.
• 55:10
  Speaker 4: The five seed, the Chargers. The six seed, Kansas City.
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: The seven seed, sneaking into the playoffs, Jacksonville.
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: Houston, Jacksonville. Houston?
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: Fellas?
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: Buffalo KC. Again, like we don't need to see that
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: fucking shit again. I'm actually tired of that game. Me too.
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: Do we play this year? Yeah. When?
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: Thanksgiving.
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's Thanksgiving.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: 830.
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: Lord have mercy. Cincinnati and the Chargers.
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: Chargers.
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: Chargers. Come on, DT, do it. Chargers. Yeah, give me
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: a hard ball. All right. We'll recede. All right, cool.
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: Denver.
• 55:51
  Speaker 4: Denver.

• 1:01:54
  Speaker 4: from DT and I, we sincerely appreciate your time tonight.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: Listen, I mean, I am amped the fuck up.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 4: Like DT literally, I can't wait to listen back to
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 4: the episode because DT brought the energy right from the beginning.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 4: And it really is for me. I talk a lot
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 4: of shit about McDermott. I talk and lament a lot
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 4: of stuff about wide receiver problems. I talk and lament
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 4: a lot of stuff about what I want.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 3: To be different. I've asked for change. Change has come.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 4: I don't I don't know any other way to take
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 4: it than to be happy about it. I'm going to
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 4: embrace it. I don't know what Joe Brady is going
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 4: to do. Bill's mafia, Nickel City crew. I have no
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 4: idea if he can handle it. John Murphy said he
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 4: can't handle it. He's going to be the detriment to
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 4: the team.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 3: I don't. How does John Murphy know that? That's his opinion.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 4: I am choosing to be optimistic about all about all
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 4: of it. Now, listen, we've talked about it. We just
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 4: did it last couple of weeks. Offensive preview, defensive preview.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 4: I expect the defense to be behind the offense. I
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 4: expect Jim Leonard to have to have a ramp-up period.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 4: We talked about how he had said that he needs
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 4: some more players and stuff like that. I don't think
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 4: that he was necessarily saying his defense is going to
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 4: be shitty, Sheed. I think he was just trying to
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 4: say that, listen, let me kind of slow walk this shit.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 4: It's going to take some time. And I think that's
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 4: going to be okay. Sheed, close us out tonight. I
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 4: think we're going to be okay. I'm very excited about
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 4: the 2020 season.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: I don't see how the Bills– Yeah, I don't see
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: how the Bills are not a top 10, top five
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: offense in the NFL. And in terms of the defense,
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: I do see just the unpredictability of what Jim Leonard
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: is bringing and the already solid core of defensive players.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: The Bills having a solid defense. Really what it's all
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: about is can they make one stop, one extra stop
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: and get Josh the ball? Just to your point, I think,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: you know, Jim Leonard, to his point, He needs a
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: full draft class, an additional draft class to really implement.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: But I think he has enough to have enough to
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: get us where we want to go.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that. I like that. DT, I'm excited.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: I'm so thankful for you tonight. I don't know. You
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 3: got me started. I'm excited about the season.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 4: It's time.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 3: I am. I'm optimistic.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: It's time. You can't get this pumped up in July
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: when training camp starts. We have to ramp up. And
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: we talk about it in Nickel City Crew. We ramp
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: and ramp and ramp him. And we ready to go
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: a week out? You still got to be ready to
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: go this week. But next Sunday, 1 p.m. Eastern, you
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: better get buck wild and get ready to go. It's
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: going to get buck in here, as they say. So
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: it's the fact of we talked about the storybook last
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: week a lot. You know, everything we kind of anticipated
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: this season and the questions we had are all coming
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: into tuition. It's all looking good. DJ Moore is looking good.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: The defense is new and exotic and cool. And 17
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: is as cool as a cucumber as he ever has been.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: It's a next level. Whenever in doubt, we got that dude.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: Whenever in doubt, we got that dude. I sit here,
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: watch highlights. I cry. I do that all summer, getting
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: ready to go for the game. And then you see
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: it's like other dudes aren't doing this. Other dudes don't
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: do this on a week-to-week basis. Other dudes don't do this.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: So it's straight up. We always got a chance. And
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: the storybook's kind of coming together. The storybook's kind of
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: coming together. All these questions here and there. Joe Brady,
