- 0:13Speaker 1: their defense, and New DC hoping to bring the D
- 0:17Speaker 1: back to the Big D. Washington's year hinges on Jadon
- 0:20Speaker 1: Daniel staying healthy and playing like he did as a rookie,
- 0:23Speaker 1: and John Harbaugh takes over the g Men. Combined with
- 0:27Speaker 1: Jackson Dark, Camp Skataboo and Malik Neighbors both returning from injuries,
- 0:31Speaker 1: the Big Apple has hope they may be ready for
- 0:34Speaker 1: relevance again.
- 0:35Speaker 2: I would like to introduce to you the next head
- 0:38Speaker 2: football coach of the New York Giants, John Harball.
- 0:40Speaker 1: Thank you Baltimore, and thank you Bengals. Maybe g Men
- 0:44Speaker 1: loving what the AFC North was kicking out this offseason.
- 0:48Speaker 1: New York Giants, coming off a four and thirteen injury
- 0:51Speaker 1: plagued year, landed the biggest head coaching fish in the
- 0:54Speaker 1: coaching see this offseason. No time for pay hard here
- 0:58Speaker 1: with John Harbaugh on the sideline guiding Malik Neighbors, Cam
- 1:02Speaker 1: Skataboo and Jackson Dart. There is finally legit hope in
- 1:05Speaker 1: the land of the Big Blue. The Harbaugh Dark pairing
- 1:09Speaker 1: on the surface is the perfect match.
- 1:12Speaker 3: R kept it alive.
- 1:13Speaker 4: Bellinger made himself available and the Giants with an improbable
- 1:18Speaker 4: third down conversion score.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Last time Harbaugh had a young dual threat QB, he
- 1:23Speaker 1: helped turn him into a two time MVP.
- 1:25Speaker 3: For the coal line touchdown Giant.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Dart may go about dual qbing a little different.
- 1:30Speaker 3: Turns right for the goal line touchdown Giants.
- 1:33Speaker 1: But it is what made his rookie year so special.
- 1:35Speaker 1: Not a lot of passing yards per game just yet, really.
- 1:38Speaker 5: Dolls learning out go He's done touchdown.
- 1:42Speaker 1: But a ninety one rate in fifteen TVs through the
- 1:45Speaker 1: air action.
- 1:46Speaker 5: Tart into light up and touchdown.
- 1:49Speaker 1: THEO Johnson and Man was Vanilla Vick fun to watch
- 1:53Speaker 1: along the ground.
- 1:55Speaker 6: Wonder it touch the great fearless Dart's gonna go and
- 2:02Speaker 6: gets popped.
- 2:03Speaker 1: Four hundred and eighty seven yards scored the same number
- 2:07Speaker 1: of times Ferris ditched his senior year.
- 2:09Speaker 7: Got the dive.
- 2:11Speaker 3: It is far start.
- 2:12Speaker 1: There's the Giants Philly nine times nine times and.
- 2:17Speaker 8: Times say shorts short, I don't think it went down.
- 2:21Speaker 5: That looks like a touchdown. It looks it looks like front.
- 2:24Speaker 1: And now he has more help to do his thing,
- 2:27Speaker 1: as the Giants drafted him a new guard with one
- 2:30Speaker 1: of their two top ten picks in the draft thanks
- 2:32Speaker 1: to Cincinnati giving up theirs for DT Dexter Lawrence.
- 2:35Speaker 6: And Francis mauianoah out of Miami and with no tackles
- 2:40Speaker 6: going in.
- 2:40Speaker 9: The first time, I don't know that he's gonna play
- 2:42Speaker 9: tackle though. He is a big, massive man who is
- 2:45Speaker 9: a mauler. Here he is in the run game. Watch
- 2:48Speaker 9: him get underneath.
- 2:49Speaker 5: That's a big guy. He's able to get underneath.
- 2:50Speaker 9: The defender, run those legs and drive them off the ball.
- 2:54Speaker 1: And the Big Apple was really buzzing when the Jackson
- 2:56Speaker 1: scat Show stormed Broadway.
- 2:58Speaker 3: Two rookies have breathed life into this franchise.
- 3:02Speaker 1: Cam Skataboo four hundred and ten rushing yards and.
- 3:05Speaker 5: All Scatigo into the touchdown.
- 3:08Speaker 1: Time over two hundred receiving.
- 3:11Speaker 3: They brought up Blitz.
- 3:12Speaker 5: Think it Scataboo's gonna pick somebody up.
- 3:14Speaker 3: He's just snuck right out off.
- 3:16Speaker 1: The blitz at sevends in just eight games played.
- 3:19Speaker 3: A Stratagus up in the dun touch down time.
- 3:23Speaker 1: So just imagine if those two and Moleik, won't you
- 3:26Speaker 1: be my neighbors all played an entire season together. Next
- 3:30Speaker 1: we got to got a neighbors only four games played
- 3:35Speaker 1: before he got hurt.
- 3:36Speaker 10: Lots of down deal, He's got neighbors in the end,
- 3:38Speaker 10: gonna makes the catch, put the fuck.
- 3:40Speaker 1: Down over twelve hundred yards as a rookie.
- 3:43Speaker 6: It's neighbors were like neighbors touchdown giants.
- 3:48Speaker 1: So we know what he's capable of. We left that
- 3:52Speaker 1: out if they need neighbors to pick up where he
- 3:54Speaker 1: left off pre injury, because they won't have wan Dale
- 3:58Speaker 1: to pick up the slack again. Rob Sen left off
- 4:00Speaker 1: a ninety two cash thousand plus yard year. Wier's downfield
- 4:04Speaker 1: get to the episode touchdown for a four win team
- 4:08Speaker 1: New York was a fun watch for a stretch.
- 4:11Speaker 3: Hi does a backflip.
- 4:12Speaker 1: Twenty two points per game got for.
- 4:15Speaker 5: Winston, who makes the fifteen take this pitching.
- 4:18Speaker 3: And fighting it is in for the touchdown call.
- 4:21Speaker 1: It put thirteenth in yards per game and fourteenth on
- 4:24Speaker 1: third down. A reflection of their potential with Dart wasn't
- 4:28Speaker 1: too shabby what's down Giant Darius Slayton, the vet w
- 4:36Speaker 1: R three in their case, thought he would have done
- 4:38Speaker 1: more with neighbors out only one touchdown, did chip in
- 4:41Speaker 1: over five hundred yards though you know the end zone.
- 4:43Speaker 2: And Slayton gets his first touchdown catch of the season.
- 4:47Speaker 1: They added Darnell Mooney Tunes to take Robinson's place four
- 4:51Speaker 1: hundred yards in change with Atlanta in twenty twenty five.
- 4:54Speaker 5: Bernie, don't help Monny touchdown Atlanta.
- 4:57Speaker 1: They grabbed Calvin Austin, former dealer three years into his
- 5:01Speaker 1: NFL career three hundred and seventy two yards a year ago,
- 5:05Speaker 1: topped five hundred in his sophomore seasoned.
- 5:09Speaker 3: Touchdown Pittsburgh Steelers.
- 5:11Speaker 1: And they added Malachi Fields to the set, picking him
- 5:14Speaker 1: up in the third round of the draft.
- 5:16Speaker 9: The big, fluid, smooth athletic receiver. Think about Michael Pittman junior,
- 5:21Speaker 9: someone who can win on those fifty to fifty balls.
- 5:23Speaker 9: We came out of the Senior Bowl CD and we
- 5:24Speaker 9: were thinking there's a chance he might end up going
- 5:26Speaker 9: in the first round.
- 5:27Speaker 5: Now I did not run the way thout.
- 5:29Speaker 9: Yeah it four six, one forty is why he's still available.
- 5:32Speaker 5: But how about the Paul Stills.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Tight end, Theo Johnson solid growth year over year.
- 5:37Speaker 6: Yes, Carla Ricashon, let's crawl up here by the gallopin
- 5:40Speaker 6: chuckson go be changed to the play by Ben touchdown.
- 5:44Speaker 1: Still plenty he can clean up that would elevate his
- 5:47Speaker 1: game further, but led the team in TD receptions and
- 5:50Speaker 1: cracked five hundred yards tidy for.
- 5:52Speaker 3: Ex yardstars for the Jock touch out.
- 5:54Speaker 1: A few former Ravens made the jump with Harbaugh tight
- 5:57Speaker 1: end Isaiah Likely finished with career low's in yards last
- 6:01Speaker 1: year with just over three hundred, and fullback Patrick Ricard
- 6:06Speaker 1: pro bowler six of the last seven years, including the
- 6:09Speaker 1: last two.
- 6:10Speaker 5: Jackson in the middle caught Recard.
- 6:13Speaker 6: This fullback his first reception second target of the year.
- 6:18Speaker 5: What a time for that.
- 6:19Speaker 1: He will help open holes for Dark Scataboo and Tyrone Tracy,
- 6:23Speaker 1: who struggled early and thus opened the door for the Scatman,
- 6:27Speaker 1: but when he came back he had some decent games.
- 6:30Speaker 3: Byron Tracy who makes the catch of the Endo.
- 6:32Speaker 1: For the touchdown seven hundred and forty yards over for
- 6:35Speaker 1: a carry back to their O Linebok team gave up
- 6:41Speaker 1: forty eight sacks and were twenty sixth in pressure rate allowed.
- 6:44Speaker 1: Right tackled Germaine Iluminaur gave up a whopping eleven and
- 6:48Speaker 1: a half sacks and led the line in penalties.
- 6:51Speaker 3: Roll and it was right. Gotta keep it himself. He's
- 6:53Speaker 3: in trouble and Donegos.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Illuminour is back, though, so is star left tackle Andrew
- 6:59Speaker 1: Thomas played great when he played thirteen games. Isn't bad,
- 7:03Speaker 1: but that's three straight years missing games. Four of last
- 7:06Speaker 1: year's five starters back as starters for twenty twenty six
- 7:09Speaker 1: in all likelihood, Blues defense forget Homer or Bart. Star
- 7:13Speaker 1: of this show was mister Burns.
- 7:14Speaker 3: Bullshoots right. Sack by Burns.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Brian with the career high sixteen and a half sacks,
- 7:20Speaker 1: second to mister Garrett.
- 7:22Speaker 3: Burns gets the sack.
- 7:24Speaker 2: Spider Man eRASS the Raiders on third down.
- 7:27Speaker 1: Burns fourth most QB hits.
- 7:29Speaker 3: Burns gets the sack.
- 7:31Speaker 5: Of course, is the fu up scoped up by the Giants.
- 7:33Speaker 5: I'm putting it into the ets, honest, Tyler Newman.
- 7:36Speaker 1: They hope Reese can play the Smithers role as Burns
- 7:39Speaker 1: right hand man. He was their other first rounder in
- 7:42Speaker 1: this past draft.
- 7:43Speaker 10: This guy is the limit with this guy. He's just
- 7:45Speaker 10: a one year starter for Ohio State. But Matt Patricia
- 7:48Speaker 10: found out real quick. He's the defensive coordinator at Ohio State,
- 7:52Speaker 10: obviously a longtime NFL defensive coordinator, and he immediately knew
- 7:56Speaker 10: what he had with r.
- 7:57Speaker 5: Bel Reese, which was a versatile game red.
- 8:00Speaker 1: How about a defense featuring four members of the first
- 8:03Speaker 1: rounders club. Then Abdual Carter racked up twenty three quarterback
- 8:07Speaker 1: hits in his first year, only started six games past.
- 8:10Speaker 4: And the year and intercepted ab Duel Carter plucked it
- 8:13Speaker 4: out of the air.
- 8:14Speaker 1: Only four sacks though, and got benched twice. And they
- 8:17Speaker 1: still have Caveon Thibodeaux two and a half sacks in
- 8:20Speaker 1: ten games, So him and Carter both looking to up
- 8:23Speaker 1: the number of times they seal the deal. There you go,
- 8:26Speaker 1: camp Burns play in the end. The main reason New
- 8:29Speaker 1: York had a middle of the pack pass rush.
- 8:31Speaker 9: Look at Gothic trouble.
- 8:32Speaker 5: Get to get sacked and thrown to the turf.
- 8:34Speaker 1: Those sacks the reason New York's defense was thirteenth on
- 8:37Speaker 1: third down? What the third line? But mister Duckworth would
- 8:42Speaker 1: tell you that's not enough.
- 8:43Speaker 5: He takes it. Mccaffery's wide open. He pulls it in
- 8:46Speaker 5: along the lap pylon.
- 8:48Speaker 1: They gave up twenty five points per game. It's out
- 8:50Speaker 1: the ten, twenty eighth in yards per game, allowed twenty
- 8:58Speaker 1: in the red zone, so.
- 9:00Speaker 8: For the in zone of the pass is taught and.
- 9:02Speaker 1: Didn't even come up with one takeaway a game.
- 9:05Speaker 3: To the side, got a gun touch back.
- 9:08Speaker 1: As mentioned, Lawrence no longer in the fold, but from
- 9:11Speaker 1: a production standpoint, they aren't losing much. Only had half
- 9:14Speaker 1: a sack and seventeen starts had more in ts than bags.
- 9:18Speaker 5: Larns he's running to the left side to the fifteenth.
- 9:21Speaker 1: Seems like defensive tackle Darius Alexander should see more time
- 9:24Speaker 1: three and a half sacks as a rookie rapped.
- 9:27Speaker 2: He's gonna get sacked by Darius Alexander.
- 9:30Speaker 1: New York secondary kind of reflected their pass rush wasn't horrible,
- 9:34Speaker 1: wasn't great.
- 9:35Speaker 5: Christian Watson mile mile mard.
- 9:39Speaker 1: Ninety four, rating aloud twenty second.
- 9:42Speaker 4: Thus got back throws to the left side of the enzone,
- 9:44Speaker 4: picking Tennis trave.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Bat only coming up with nine iron. T's one of
- 9:48Speaker 1: the reasons it was so.
- 9:49Speaker 3: High and it has cut and had for a touchdown.
- 9:52Speaker 1: Lost corner Cordell Flott, though, and he played well for them,
- 9:55Speaker 1: holding his targets to a low seventies rate. Knocked down
- 9:58Speaker 1: eleven passes and picked off one.
- 10:00Speaker 3: Get out up there like pour it.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Out taking over his locker Colton Hood, who they drafted
- 10:07Speaker 1: in the second round.
- 10:08Speaker 9: You can use him in a variety of schemes and defenses.
- 10:11Speaker 9: You can see why John Harbaugh fell in love with him.
- 10:13Speaker 9: You want to put him in press. He's very patient,
- 10:15Speaker 9: under control. It's got real good body control for a corner.
- 10:19Speaker 9: You can carry vertical routes physically.
- 10:21Speaker 1: Corner Paulson a debo is back low nineties radio loud,
- 10:24Speaker 1: seventy three tackles a nice total for a cornerback back.
- 10:28Speaker 5: His booty makes the catch, a deepot makes the stop.
- 10:32Speaker 1: Corner Drew Phillips twelve passes defense a sub ninety rate,
- 10:36Speaker 1: two picks and sixty six tackles picked off.
- 10:39Speaker 5: The are sucking by Phillips.
- 10:41Speaker 1: Did get benched a couple of times too. Corner Deontay
- 10:44Speaker 1: Banks more valuable as a returner than as a corner,
- 10:47Speaker 1: thanks for the out rough year as a defender.
- 10:50Speaker 8: Rows a ball for Sudden who goes up and makes
- 10:53Speaker 8: the catch.
- 10:54Speaker 1: Same for safety Tyler Neuban, who gave up a team
- 10:57Speaker 1: high four touchdowns and a job of the hut ugly
- 11:00Speaker 1: one forty plus rate.
- 11:01Speaker 6: Here's a wide open Hunter Henry who gets stood up
- 11:06Speaker 6: inside the five and it's first in goal.
- 11:08Speaker 1: Safety Javon Holland, much better stopping passes, held it down
- 11:12Speaker 1: to a low eighties rate.
- 11:13Speaker 3: Was deflected and intercepted by the Giants.
- 11:17Speaker 5: The Giants got the interception of God.
- 11:19Speaker 1: But no more. Safety Dame Belton. He gave up a
- 11:22Speaker 1: one hundred plus rate, but did at least contribute one
- 11:24Speaker 1: hundred and twenty tackles.
- 11:26Speaker 6: You called it there, Suttin til too, what a big
- 11:30Speaker 6: time hit.
- 11:30Speaker 1: Belton changes to the second level out with linebacker Bobby
- 11:34Speaker 1: o'carakay and his one hundred and forty three tackles.
- 11:38Speaker 3: In Interceptor.
- 11:40Speaker 1: America, in with Tremaine Edmonds four picks and one hundred
- 11:44Speaker 1: and twelve tackles for the Bears one hundred plus tackles
- 11:48Speaker 1: eight straight years the yarradicept. It didn't really help Chicago
- 11:51Speaker 1: stop runners, though Bears were almost as bad as the
- 11:54Speaker 1: Giants on that front. Into the air Yard, New York
- 11:57Speaker 1: gave up one hundred and forty five rushing yards per game,
- 12:00Speaker 1: second most.
- 12:01Speaker 5: Have been twenty six, and they were last.
- 12:04Speaker 1: In yards per carry aloud at a very generous five
- 12:07Speaker 1: point three. They hope having linebacker Michael Fadden back will help.
- 12:15Speaker 1: He only played one game. Health is the key with
- 12:19Speaker 1: their offense. Dart, Scataboo and Neighbors need to be on
- 12:22Speaker 1: the field all year long. With Malik only playing four games,
- 12:26Speaker 1: we're making him the guy that replaces Wandale's production. Lots
- 12:30Speaker 1: of new options for Dart with fields Austin and Mooney
- 12:33Speaker 1: being added to the picture. New York's inside three represent
- 12:37Speaker 1: the big question mark with their front seven, because the
- 12:39Speaker 1: rest looks pretty stout. Foto's a journeyman who's in his
- 12:43Speaker 1: seventh year and on his fifth team now. Shelby Harris
- 12:46Speaker 1: spent the last three years in Cleveland Giants, his fifth
- 12:49Speaker 1: team heading into his twelfth year. Carter Thibodeau need to
- 12:53Speaker 1: live up to their first round status. Burns a QB
- 12:56Speaker 1: wrecker Reese will move all over. Hopefully McFadden and Stay's healthy.
- 13:01Speaker 1: Edmunds Fokara kay a pretty even swap are Darius Washington,
- 13:05Speaker 1: another former Raven. They brought back safety Jason Pinnock, two,
- 13:09Speaker 1: was with San Francisco last year a Giant the previous
- 13:12Speaker 1: three years. Giants have a challenging schedule, this year ninth
- 13:17Speaker 1: hardest if you go off their opponents expected twenty twenty
- 13:20Speaker 1: six win totals, so it's not going to be a
- 13:22Speaker 1: walk in the park. They themselves have been given a
- 13:25Speaker 1: seven point five over under designation. So what's the conservative
- 13:28Speaker 1: best case scenario in their case? Assume they're an eight
- 13:32Speaker 1: win type team. Give them home win over Dallas at
- 13:35Speaker 1: least wins over Tennessee and Arizona. Take Washington and New Orleans,
- 13:40Speaker 1: who are seven point five type teams. Give them a
- 13:42Speaker 1: sweep over the Commanders in fact, Jacksonville at home. Since
- 13:46Speaker 1: this is an exercise in optimism, be Indianapolis and Cleveland,
- 13:51Speaker 1: and pull off a home win over Philadelphia at the
- 13:53Speaker 1: end of the year that puts their theoretical ceiling at
- 13:56Speaker 1: ten wins. Shook up the game preview guy magic a
- 14:00Speaker 1: ball and it showed fewer than eight victories due to
- 14:03Speaker 1: that trek of theirs. But who knows, maybe it was broken.
- 14:06Speaker 5: Hey Bob, simple connect at communic Kate.
- 14:09Speaker 1: Dominate Dallas Cowboys stayed the course at head coach despite
- 14:13Speaker 1: a very boys like seven to nine and one in
- 14:15Speaker 1: twenty twenty five.
- 14:16Speaker 5: See is different and I'm so proud.
- 14:19Speaker 7: I will fight with you guys anytime any place.
- 14:22Speaker 1: They find themselves once again feeling like they have the
- 14:25Speaker 1: right kind of O face.
- 14:26Speaker 5: We are plusself, We are plusselve to stay on there.
- 14:30Speaker 1: But that D of theirs really needs to stiffen up Christmas.
- 14:36Speaker 1: The big offseason headline for the Big D was ditching
- 14:39Speaker 1: DC Matt Eberflus and hiring thirty four year old Christian
- 14:43Speaker 1: Parker away from Philadelphia in his place.
- 14:46Speaker 5: He run all day, if they run all day.
- 14:48Speaker 1: He was Philly's dB coach. Eagles DB's were pretty good too.
- 14:52Speaker 7: The game is definitely won and lost up front, and
- 14:55Speaker 7: we have significant players in the front seven. And so
- 14:59Speaker 7: I think that when you start with that defensive line
- 15:01Speaker 7: room and what you're able to do in control in
- 15:03Speaker 7: the pocket stopping the run, you control what an offense
- 15:06Speaker 7: is able to do, and you're able to dictate to
- 15:08Speaker 7: them on their terms. So you're not playing the whole
- 15:10Speaker 7: playbook when you win first and second down.
- 15:12Speaker 1: Like Walter Sochek might put it, not going to let
- 15:14Speaker 1: him roll out there naked, equipped him with a new
- 15:17Speaker 1: blue chip dB and Caleb Downs, who they drafted in
- 15:20Speaker 1: the first round.
- 15:21Speaker 9: They got themselves a new defensive coordinator in the off
- 15:23Speaker 9: season and Christian Parker who came over from their arrival
- 15:26Speaker 9: of the Philadelphia Eagles.
- 15:27Speaker 1: He was there coaching in the secondary.
- 15:29Speaker 9: A couple of young players they drafted and courtwer Dejini
- 15:32Speaker 9: and Quinnon Mitchell and saw what that did for their defense. Versatile,
- 15:36Speaker 9: the intelligence, toughness, that's what those guys possessed, and Dawns
- 15:40Speaker 9: has it in spades.
- 15:41Speaker 1: Picked up Malachi Lawrence, edge guy in the first as well.
- 15:44Speaker 1: He is juicy when you watch him.
- 15:46Speaker 5: It is fun.
- 15:47Speaker 9: You get up out of your seat because of how
- 15:49Speaker 9: much burst and explosiveness you'll see in his play. And
- 15:52Speaker 9: that showed up when we got to the combine with
- 15:53Speaker 9: his testing. He's not there yet, but this is a
- 15:55Speaker 9: potential player and you see it when he gets to
- 15:58Speaker 9: the top of his rush, use those violent to get
- 16:00Speaker 9: to the corner and then he can really really finish.
- 16:03Speaker 9: He's got that innate ability here. He is running from
- 16:05Speaker 9: the backside again. You can feel his speed when you're
- 16:08Speaker 9: watching him.
- 16:09Speaker 1: They are tasked with finding what BoJack did with their
- 16:12Speaker 1: d They can't afford another year of Alice. Cowboys football
- 16:16Speaker 1: takes up dayl.
- 16:17Speaker 5: It hurts touchdown.
- 16:18Speaker 1: Philadelphia can't waste another good year from Dak CD Pickens,
- 16:23Speaker 1: ferg and Javonte Williams with oh we got who fueled
- 16:28Speaker 1: their offense to twenty seven points per game? Right second
- 16:33Speaker 1: most yards per game? Right on the funny to run,
- 16:38Speaker 1: Prescott averaged over two hundred and sixty seven passing yards
- 16:41Speaker 1: per game. Third most. Doug did not a ninety nine rating.
- 16:47Speaker 4: Runs up out of the pocket, He's hut the right picked.
- 16:50Speaker 1: Up thirty touchdowns against just ten interceptions.
- 16:55Speaker 5: However, no touchdown like hey By dive.
- 16:59Speaker 1: The Pickens trade couldn't have worked out better.
- 17:01Speaker 4: Close to the left side of the nzone pick of
- 17:03Speaker 4: Tennis touchdown, it's a touchdown.
- 17:06Speaker 1: The Conboys with the lead career year ninety three catches
- 17:16Speaker 1: over fourteen hundred yards, twenty touchdown, nine touchdowns, walkin touchdown
- 17:24Speaker 1: Dallas Paly cow Lamb only played fourteen games.
- 17:28Speaker 3: Welcome back, CD, Lamb.
- 17:31Speaker 1: Still cracked one thousand yards for the sixth straight year.
- 17:34Speaker 4: Toss right, He's not Lamb line open on the right
- 17:37Speaker 4: side of the anizone.
- 17:38Speaker 1: Jake Ferguson also enjoyed a career best campaign six hundred
- 17:45Speaker 1: yards on the nose eighty two catches, eight of them scores.
- 17:49Speaker 5: Ferguson names in from.
- 17:51Speaker 1: The two unbelievable second of the day for Fergie. Ryan
- 17:56Speaker 1: Flinoy comes off a nice year two close to five
- 17:59Speaker 1: hundred yards and four scores on the.
- 18:01Speaker 4: Right side for the oil alone fifteen to ten and
- 18:04Speaker 4: Flinoy has gotten the Cowboys into the end zone.
- 18:07Speaker 1: And Cavante Turpin Special Team's Wizard chipped in close to
- 18:11Speaker 1: four hundred yards receiving two tds. Nice x factor type
- 18:17Speaker 1: Williams yet another dude with his best year in the bigs.
- 18:23Speaker 5: The Cowboys scored the first touch of the.
- 18:25Speaker 1: Season over twelve hundred rush yards eleven tds, good to
- 18:38Speaker 1: a very healthy four to eight per run.
- 18:40Speaker 3: Plunging in right guard touchdown Cowboys.
- 18:43Speaker 1: All those dudes working with a good O line too
- 18:46Speaker 1: had to endure some injuries. Of course, only guard Tyler
- 18:49Speaker 1: Smith and right tackle Terrence Steele avoided injuries. Steele gave
- 18:53Speaker 1: up a team high nine sacks, right guard Tyler Booker
- 18:56Speaker 1: gave up six, So the right side has some room
- 18:59Speaker 1: for improved overall, though ninth fewest sacks taken, so not
- 19:04Speaker 1: a major issue on the shutter. Cowboys offense would love
- 19:10Speaker 1: a few more chances to do their thing this year.
- 19:12Speaker 1: Last year, it was a lot of waiting on the
- 19:14Speaker 1: sideline into rarely a short field off a takeaway with
- 19:19Speaker 1: a touchdown. Cowboys defense only produced twelve all years played.
- 19:25Speaker 5: Akay Brow puts.
- 19:26Speaker 1: Ty thirtieth in yards per game allowed.
- 19:29Speaker 5: The rookie RJ. Harvey forty yard house call.
- 19:33Speaker 1: Last on third down was a coperate touchdown. The only
- 19:39Speaker 1: team to give up thirty points per game for the year.
- 19:42Speaker 3: Touchdown Kay let hurt.
- 19:43Speaker 1: Sarah Lynn would tell you it's too much Man Jr.
- 19:50Speaker 1: Touchdown and so is a one oh nine rating allowed
- 19:54Speaker 1: only one team.
- 19:55Speaker 3: Worse off the doubtfield.
- 19:56Speaker 5: He's got neighbors in the end going to.
- 19:58Speaker 1: Make the tack for the No team allowed more than
- 20:01Speaker 1: their two hundred and fifty one passing yards per game.
- 20:04Speaker 3: You put the right Friday.
- 20:08Speaker 1: Gave up over eight yards per attempt.
- 20:10Speaker 4: A man behind everybody and its burden that the twenty
- 20:13Speaker 4: and Lutherburton dances.
- 20:15Speaker 1: In Parker takes over a secondary that saw every guy
- 20:18Speaker 1: who played significant snaps allow a rating over one hundred.
- 20:22Speaker 3: Row to the end zone over the shoulder.
- 20:25Speaker 1: Deron Bland at the front of the rebound line after
- 20:27Speaker 1: allowing a team high six touchdowns and six hundred plus
- 20:31Speaker 1: yards in just twelve games touched up. Cornerbacks Ready Stewart
- 20:35Speaker 1: and Shabon Ravel both struggled against the pass rolling left.
- 20:39Speaker 3: Side depend zone.
- 20:40Speaker 5: Caught touchdown Isaac.
- 20:42Speaker 1: Tesla Stuart with over sixty tackles at least.
- 20:45Speaker 5: Jet they get hold Ready Stewart.
- 20:49Speaker 1: Corner Triquez Bridges the one guy with a rate in
- 20:51Speaker 1: the nineties. Not much playing time though. Safety Donovan Wilson
- 20:55Speaker 1: gave up five touchdowns, so they let him walk my
- 20:58Speaker 1: like neighbors. Touchdown Safety Marquise Bell rating over one hundred
- 21:04Speaker 1: seventeen games three.
- 21:06Speaker 5: Starts throws right in the end zone cover for a touchdown.
- 21:09Speaker 1: Safety Malik Hooker gave up a rating over one thirty.
- 21:12Speaker 5: This goes back to Kelsey and he's wide open.
- 21:16Speaker 1: New in their dB room. Safety Jalen Thompson former cardinal
- 21:20Speaker 1: rate aloud over one hundred.
- 21:22Speaker 5: Brought in at the four yard line.
- 21:24Speaker 1: Safety PJ. Locke was with the Broncos a year ago,
- 21:27Speaker 1: played the pass well came off the bench most.
- 21:30Speaker 9: Games unbottled it throwing back and complete coverage by lock.
- 21:34Speaker 1: New corner in Kobe Durant was with the Rams in
- 21:36Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, held it down to a low seventies rate.
- 21:39Speaker 1: Three picks has looked good back to back years after
- 21:42Speaker 1: taking over a starter.
- 21:44Speaker 8: Intercepted Kobe Durant at the one pass rush.
- 21:47Speaker 1: Thirty five sacks tied for twenty second.
- 21:50Speaker 5: No pressure up the middle back of the up.
- 21:53Speaker 1: It's like they could have used a certain somebody tight
- 21:56Speaker 1: pocket left it over the middle touchdown. Defensive then Donovan
- 22:00Speaker 1: Azaraku two sacks seventeen games.
- 22:03Speaker 3: As a raku might have him in the end zone.
- 22:05Speaker 1: Defensive end. Sam Williams one sacks seventeen games, five starts
- 22:10Speaker 1: out the door with Dante Fowler three sacks seventeen games,
- 22:13Speaker 1: eleven starts, and Jadavian Clowney joined them on the way
- 22:17Speaker 1: out eight and a half quarterback wraps in just thirteen games.
- 22:20Speaker 5: Oh it's good in time.
- 22:22Speaker 1: Taboys strayed after him Osa odigie Zua is gone left
- 22:26Speaker 1: off a three and a half sack year down he
- 22:28Speaker 1: go oh so diggi Zua. They added Rashaun Gary seven
- 22:33Speaker 1: and a half sacks last year in Green Bay.
- 22:36Speaker 8: Gary and Venees eventually got home and brought him down.
- 22:38Speaker 1: Of the twenty he rejoins an old mate and Kenny
- 22:41Speaker 1: Clark made it home three timesas Kenny Clark hoping next
- 22:46Speaker 1: to Quinn Williams. Two and a half sacks between New
- 22:49Speaker 1: York and Dallas, over fifty tackles, ten for a loss
- 22:53Speaker 1: and twelve quarterback hits solid digits for an interior Guy.
- 22:56Speaker 6: Oh picked off by Quinn Williams.
- 22:59Speaker 1: And James Hugheston came off the bench most games five
- 23:02Speaker 1: and a half backs. The twenty one Micah was supposedly
- 23:08Speaker 1: bad for their run defense. It's still allowed for seven
- 23:11Speaker 1: to carry good.
- 23:12Speaker 5: Good a cur plea's good a cut to the others.
- 23:15Speaker 1: Up didn't help winebacker Demarvian Overshown only played six games.
- 23:19Speaker 1: It did give Shamar James more reps. He led the
- 23:22Speaker 1: team with ninety one tackles.
- 23:23Speaker 5: Hop hit, fuckle, sax quick bubble.
- 23:26Speaker 3: Cow Boys are up.
- 23:27Speaker 1: Kenneth Murray no longer around though eighty plus tackle guy
- 23:30Speaker 1: last year, they can't deferred on second down or third
- 23:34Speaker 1: down In his place, d Winters, who they traded the
- 23:37Speaker 1: Niners for over one hundred tackles in his third year
- 23:40Speaker 1: on the job.
- 23:41Speaker 5: Heay Winners has got his day. Winner's going the other one.
- 23:44Speaker 1: Randon Aubrey's foot thirty six of forty two on field
- 23:47Speaker 1: goal tries a year ago, forty seven for forty eight
- 23:50Speaker 1: on extra points on the way is so all sorts
- 23:57Speaker 1: of new with their defense, and for good reason. Down's
- 24:00Speaker 1: the headliner on the back side, but adding Durant and
- 24:03Speaker 1: Thompson shouldn't be overlooked, and PJ. Locke gives them quality depths.
- 24:08Speaker 1: Three of their five starting dbs will be new Hooker
- 24:11Speaker 1: and Bland, the only twenty twenty five starters returning. Bland
- 24:15Speaker 1: needing a bounce back. At least three new starters to
- 24:18Speaker 1: their front seven can make the case it's really four.
- 24:21Speaker 1: Gary and Lawrence expected to breathe life back into their
- 24:24Speaker 1: pass rush. Winters hopefully can get to runners Overshown, looking
- 24:28Speaker 1: to put his injury behind him and return to the
- 24:31Speaker 1: promising form we saw from him earlier. Full year of
- 24:34Speaker 1: Quinn should help too. If that bunch can make things
- 24:37Speaker 1: tougher on offenses, their own offense could be even more explosive.
- 24:41Speaker 1: They're just running it back with the same group basically
- 24:44Speaker 1: dak lamb Pickens, Flinoy Williams, already showing their plenty capable
- 24:49Speaker 1: of putting up a lot of points. Cowboys have the
- 24:52Speaker 1: fourth hardest twenty twenty six schedule if you ranked teams
- 24:55Speaker 1: by their opponents expected win totals. So the road isn't
- 24:59Speaker 1: supposed to be an e one, but they've been tabbed
- 25:02Speaker 1: as a nine to ten win team themselves. Not bad
- 25:04Speaker 1: when you consider the top teams sit at eleven point five.
- 25:08Speaker 1: What's a potential ceiling for them? When you look across
- 25:10Speaker 1: their schedule? Start with wins over the Giants and Commanders
- 25:14Speaker 1: before a loss to Baltimore, beat Houston across town, win
- 25:18Speaker 1: over Tampa at home. The Packers game is in Green Bay,
- 25:21Speaker 1: but this is an optimistic view, so a win there,
- 25:24Speaker 1: Cards Colts are winnable, Titans Eagles at home as well,
- 25:29Speaker 1: and then let them finish on a three game win streak.
- 25:32Speaker 1: That's twelve and five. What did I find inside the
- 25:35Speaker 1: game preview? Guy bag, I always seem to take the
- 25:38Speaker 1: bait with their offense and think they'll do better than
- 25:40Speaker 1: nine wins. They have six new starters on defense and
- 25:43Speaker 1: a new DC. I guess all risk being fooled three
- 25:46Speaker 1: times in a row and say at least ten wins.
- 25:49Speaker 5: Well, no going, it doesn't matter.
- 25:52Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles, an eleven to six Super Bowl hangover twenty
- 25:56Speaker 1: twenty five happens to the best. Still won the NFC
- 25:59Speaker 1: East off still have the kind of roster that can
- 26:05Speaker 1: dance the last dance. Kind of question is can their
- 26:11Speaker 1: big five on offense remember the steps to the song
- 26:14Speaker 1: that made them champs just two years ago?
- 26:17Speaker 3: The Super Bowl champion Philadelphia.
- 26:19Speaker 1: Eagle Eagles sure are following the script, aren't they. Act one,
- 26:23Speaker 1: give Apollo Creed a run for his money. Act two,
- 26:26Speaker 1: take the reigning champ down.
- 26:27Speaker 3: This is about to be.
- 26:30Speaker 1: Then seem to forget who.
- 26:32Speaker 5: They are, falls down, stripsack.
- 26:34Speaker 1: Thunderlips was giving them the business last year. Offense twenty
- 26:38Speaker 1: fourth in yards per game, twenty fourth on third down,
- 26:41Speaker 1: only twenty two points per game.
- 26:42Speaker 3: You know they're gonna bring all these book.
- 26:46Speaker 1: We are one away. Lock that stuff in his cane. Yeah,
- 26:49Speaker 1: but that means a big win over clubber Lang is forthcoming.
- 26:53Speaker 3: Right.
- 26:58Speaker 1: And for everything that seemed off with Jalen Hurts among others,
- 27:01Speaker 1: he accounted for thirty three total tds hooks light shove
- 27:06Speaker 1: and he said touchdown a career high twenty five TV
- 27:11Speaker 1: passes tired. He only six picks. Made the Pro Bowl
- 27:19Speaker 1: for the third time in the last four years. Touchdown
- 27:22Speaker 1: Hurts didn't run as often career low in rush yards
- 27:26Speaker 1: and tds as a starter, but it's relative.
- 27:29Speaker 3: That's two touchdowns for Jalb.
- 27:30Speaker 1: Hurts of eight scores down Low over four hundred rush
- 27:34Speaker 1: yards is still solid production from the QB spot.
- 27:37Speaker 8: Third and gold Hurts has tops Hey top Daylan Hurts
- 27:41Speaker 8: touched to Philadelphia.
- 27:43Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley eleven hundred plus yards seven touchdowns.
- 27:47Speaker 3: It goes to Barkers toss the top touch down.
- 27:53Speaker 1: Dah both for both all he was beat though. Man,
- 27:56Speaker 1: we warned everybody last season guys who crack two k
- 28:00Speaker 1: have a hard time coming close to it the next
- 28:02Speaker 1: year for obvious reasons.
- 28:04Speaker 3: Where have you been?
- 28:06Speaker 1: Twenty six A j Brown messy year with all the
- 28:09Speaker 1: chatter so off. He goes to New England off a
- 28:12Speaker 1: thousand plus yard season.
- 28:13Speaker 3: The ten and for a touchdown.
- 28:16Speaker 1: Davante Smith has been a thousand plus yard cat three
- 28:18Speaker 1: of the last four years is for.
- 28:20Speaker 3: Davonte Smith touchdowns.
- 28:22Speaker 5: Schmitty got it Hey, fuck football.
- 28:24Speaker 1: The fucker had five more yards than Brown last year,
- 28:28Speaker 1: just wasn't as distracted. New options to Mackay Lemon their
- 28:37Speaker 1: first round pick this year to be.
- 28:40Speaker 2: A receiver who might be a little undersized, but not
- 28:43Speaker 2: play like I think.
- 28:44Speaker 11: It's just a mentality and the heart that you play with.
- 28:46Speaker 11: You know the body's type. You know you can get
- 28:48Speaker 11: fooled by that, but you know your heart and you
- 28:52Speaker 11: know mentality that you that you opposted the game. It'll
- 28:54Speaker 11: take you a lot farther than you know. Just your
- 28:56Speaker 11: heighten your side.
- 28:57Speaker 1: Dontavian Wicks traded for the former Pack off a three
- 29:00Speaker 1: hundred and thirty plus yard year. Signed Hollywood Brown gave
- 29:04Speaker 1: k C close to six hundred yards and five touchdowns.
- 29:07Speaker 6: Got they're two feet in bounds, yes, Hollywood.
- 29:10Speaker 1: Bro And Dallas Goddard returns off a career high eleven
- 29:14Speaker 1: TD campaign close to six hundred yards.
- 29:17Speaker 5: It looks like the old TuS Puss, but oh no,
- 29:20Speaker 5: he takes a snap. He laterals it out to the
- 29:23Speaker 5: outside to Dallas god.
- 29:24Speaker 1: They drafted Eli Stowers in the second round too.
- 29:28Speaker 9: Me he plays like a receiver and to be honest,
- 29:30Speaker 9: size the beating wise, he plays a little bit like
- 29:32Speaker 9: a j Brown in terms of what he can do
- 29:34Speaker 9: out in the open field. You see him running here
- 29:37Speaker 9: at two hundred and thirty nine pounds. He ran just
- 29:39Speaker 9: around four or five flat and jumped over forty five inches.
- 29:42Speaker 9: He's got unbelievable ability to adjust with his hands down
- 29:46Speaker 9: the field.
- 29:47Speaker 1: Their O line is still plenty talented.
- 29:49Speaker 3: Turn a bunch of negative runs in the positive run.
- 29:52Speaker 1: The five big uglies that powered the offense in twenty
- 29:55Speaker 1: twenty five will do so again in twenty twenty six.
- 29:58Speaker 1: Jordan Malata and Lane Johnson are a paunch in john
- 30:01Speaker 1: level tackle duo. Cam Jurgens at center, Tyler Steen and
- 30:05Speaker 1: Landon Dickerson at guard. Dickerson gave up a team high
- 30:08Speaker 1: six sacks last year. Team as a whole took thirty five,
- 30:11Speaker 1: good for twelve fews. If the offense reverts to form
- 30:18Speaker 1: and the defense can play close to the same level
- 30:21Speaker 1: as twenty twenty five, they'll be cooking with gas. As
- 30:23Speaker 1: they say, I.
- 30:24Speaker 7: Don't care how hard it is, how hard you get
- 30:27Speaker 7: done for the God be thought.
- 30:28Speaker 1: Philadelphia held teams to nineteen a game, fifth fewest top
- 30:33Speaker 1: ten good inside the twenty.
- 30:34Speaker 3: Two APT and the game was over.
- 30:38Speaker 1: Could be stingier with the yards thirteenth in yards per
- 30:41Speaker 1: game allowed.
- 30:42Speaker 5: I can shift, can't make the play? Whoa Bred and
- 30:46Speaker 5: the needle.
- 30:47Speaker 1: Could really improve their third down play if they were
- 30:49Speaker 1: twenty first.
- 30:50Speaker 4: Holds the ball in his hand, gets a downfield block,
- 30:53Speaker 4: It's gonna be harder to play the pass better.
- 30:57Speaker 1: Though A complete held quarterback to the second lowest rate at.
- 31:01Speaker 3: The left rowing anze is in complete.
- 31:04Speaker 1: Just six point four yards per attempt, and no team
- 31:07Speaker 1: had a lower completion percentage allow.
- 31:09Speaker 5: Come on, there we go, Goos out.
- 31:11Speaker 1: Their secondary will look different this year lost a couple
- 31:14Speaker 1: of guys, but not the two most important. That's intercepted
- 31:19Speaker 1: un Mitchel Quinnon. Mitchell comes off a first team All
- 31:22Speaker 1: Pro season low sixties rate with a fat seventeen passes
- 31:26Speaker 1: defense match a second of the game stud corner number
- 31:30Speaker 1: two Cooper Dejeen.
- 31:31Speaker 3: Fires the football in a t intercepted by the Jane.
- 31:35Speaker 1: Also comes off a first team All Pro season over
- 31:37Speaker 1: ninety tackles with a low eighties rate, fifteen passes defense,
- 31:41Speaker 1: two picks.
- 31:42Speaker 3: Third and goal snap back. Here's pressure frozen Nanzo diving lamb.
- 31:47Speaker 5: Had it stripped away.
- 31:48Speaker 1: They did cut ties with a Dore Jackson who departed
- 31:51Speaker 1: off a solid sub ninety rate year.
- 31:53Speaker 6: Good protection again Herbert had his armhead and he's intercepted
- 31:58Speaker 6: but Dorri Jackson.
- 32:00Speaker 1: But they seem to have upgraded. They added Corner Reek Woolen,
- 32:03Speaker 1: former Seahawk who knocked down twelve passes for Seattle mid
- 32:07Speaker 1: seventies rate.
- 32:08Speaker 12: Vikings looking for the end zone instead. It's a fourth
- 32:11Speaker 12: interception at riek walland.
- 32:14Speaker 1: And they still have Kiey Ringo. Zero touchdowns allowed in
- 32:17Speaker 1: a sub ninety rate most action coming off the.
- 32:20Speaker 8: Bench in complete. Try to get it to Shephard Kieley
- 32:24Speaker 8: Ringo was there.
- 32:25Speaker 1: New face at safety, said goodbye to read Blank and
- 32:28Speaker 1: ship starter for the last three years left town off
- 32:31Speaker 1: a low nineties rate.
- 32:32Speaker 8: Shift lucky oh rolling traffic, it's intercepted read blank and
- 32:38Speaker 8: shit picks it off in the end zone.
- 32:41Speaker 1: They feel like safety Andrew mccuba will slide into his
- 32:44Speaker 1: shoes nicely. Two interceptions as a rookie flocked.
- 32:47Speaker 4: It a bit, but Kelsey had the ball off of
- 32:50Speaker 4: his hand, right hand and shoulder and into the arms
- 32:53Speaker 4: of Andrew mccouba.
- 32:54Speaker 1: Their DB's got solid help from their front but they
- 32:57Speaker 1: could heat things up even more twelfth and sas thirteenth
- 33:01Speaker 1: in pressure eight a year ago.
- 33:02Speaker 3: He has dragged down Have I sacked them again?
- 33:06Speaker 1: No Eagle had seven sacks in twenty twenty five, so
- 33:09Speaker 1: a committee approach leading the way. Jlyx Hunt with six
- 33:12Speaker 1: and a half.
- 33:13Speaker 3: He is looking. He has hit hey have sacked byke Jalob.
- 33:17Speaker 1: Hunt five more than his rookie year. He's the guy
- 33:20Speaker 1: they think could take a big leap and be a
- 33:22Speaker 1: double digit kind of dude. But Tyler Hunt, they still
- 33:31Speaker 1: believe in Nolan Smith junior. He regressed in his year
- 33:34Speaker 1: three six and a half sacks year two, then three
- 33:37Speaker 1: bags last year and.
- 33:38Speaker 5: Now down he goes Nolan Smith.
- 33:41Speaker 1: They added outside linebacker Arnold Abukehetty to help hopefully back
- 33:45Speaker 1: to back six sax seasons, then just two and twenty
- 33:48Speaker 1: twenty five, and they picked up Jonathan Grenard from Minnesota
- 33:52Speaker 1: in a trade. Quiet last year with just three bags,
- 33:55Speaker 1: but twelve and twelve and a half the previous two
- 33:57Speaker 1: seasons at prisoner on the inside defensive end. Moro Ojomo
- 34:02Speaker 1: nice little breakout this past season, his third zero sacks
- 34:06Speaker 1: first two years, then he racked up six.
- 34:09Speaker 8: Taking down again for sack of the day for the Eagles,
- 34:12Speaker 8: it's Moro Jomo who delivers.
- 34:15Speaker 1: Jordan Davis played his way into some coin career high
- 34:18Speaker 1: in sacks, tackles for loss and tackles and passes defense,
- 34:22Speaker 1: four and a half trips home over seventy tackles, nine
- 34:26Speaker 1: for a loss ahead of his fifth yeary.
- 34:28Speaker 5: Eagles Davis ip Jugerman.
- 34:32Speaker 1: Jalen Carter is coming off back to back Pro Bowl years.
- 34:35Speaker 1: Numbers weren't eye popping, but three QB takedowns in eleven games.
- 34:39Speaker 6: Well Jaylen Carter, of course he can be a game
- 34:41Speaker 6: wrecker as well.
- 34:42Speaker 1: Against the run. Gave up four to two a carry,
- 34:45Speaker 1: so could fare better here too, wonder Zach Bond, pro
- 34:52Speaker 1: bowler back to back seasons, one hundred and twenty plus
- 34:55Speaker 1: tackles back to back years.
- 34:57Speaker 3: Good for the gallity.
- 34:58Speaker 1: Let's go three and a half and two ants in
- 35:01Speaker 1: his most recent runs.
- 35:02Speaker 8: Mayfield in some trouble, Mayfield goes down.
- 35:07Speaker 1: Jehad Campbell kicked off his NFL career with eighty tackles,
- 35:11Speaker 1: a forced fumble, and an int across ten starts in
- 35:14Speaker 1: seventeen games.
- 35:15Speaker 5: We tackle by Jehad Campbell, the stud rookie.
- 35:19Speaker 1: He should start all seventeen. With Nikobe d no longer
- 35:22Speaker 1: in the fold.
- 35:23Speaker 3: He fumbles the football, I think the Eagles.
- 35:25Speaker 1: Have it and Jake Elliott finds himself in the rebound line.
- 35:29Speaker 1: Missed seven field goals lowly seventy four percent on his tries.
- 35:33Speaker 12: Trying again, now, my goodness. Three misses in the first
- 35:38Speaker 12: half for Jake Elliott.
- 35:39Speaker 1: Front seven didn't lose anybody, but gained a couple of
- 35:42Speaker 1: pass rushing threats and Ebiquetti and Grenard. They're expecting big
- 35:45Speaker 1: things from Hunt, Davison, Carter beasts in the middle, Bond
- 35:50Speaker 1: and Campbell a fine linebacker duo behind them. Two new corners,
- 35:54Speaker 1: Woolen takes Jackson's place, Jonathan Jones added as well Quinnyon
- 35:59Speaker 1: and Dejean the back there. Offense picks up Lemon at receiver,
- 36:03Speaker 1: plus Hollywood and Wicks said goodbye to Brown. Also added
- 36:07Speaker 1: Stowers to the tight end room, so Hertz has a
- 36:09Speaker 1: lot of new guys to get acquainted with. Saquan gets
- 36:12Speaker 1: to see what he can do. Two years removed from
- 36:14Speaker 1: his two K year, Philly has a ten and a
- 36:16Speaker 1: half over under tops in the NFC East and second
- 36:20Speaker 1: highest of any team in the NFL. Only the Ravens
- 36:23Speaker 1: and Rams stamped with an eleven and a half, and
- 36:25Speaker 1: the Eagles have the sixth easiest projected schedule based on
- 36:29Speaker 1: their opponents twenty twenty six win total projections. So they're
- 36:33Speaker 1: supposed to beat Washington, Tennessee, and Chicago. Let's say they
- 36:38Speaker 1: lose to La, but they beat Jacksonville, Carolina, Dallas, Washington,
- 36:43Speaker 1: the Giants, Pittsburgh before dropping one in Dallas, beat Arizona,
- 36:48Speaker 1: Indianapolis and Seattle being that's a home game. Same with
- 36:52Speaker 1: Houston and sweep the Giants, giving them a fourteen win season.
- 36:56Speaker 1: I dug around the game preview guy bag and I
- 36:58Speaker 1: didn't see that many. Maybe I had the bag on
- 37:01Speaker 1: backwards though, who knows. But I did see at least
- 37:04Speaker 1: eleven wins in there.
- 37:05Speaker 3: Enough talk about what this year can be.
- 37:08Speaker 1: It is time to prove it, Washington commanders, time to
- 37:11Speaker 1: prove they aren't the Baja men or right, said Freds.
- 37:14Speaker 1: From a twelve win year to a twelve last year.
- 37:17Speaker 1: Don't want to end up being one hit wonders.
- 37:20Speaker 5: Met and Violet still worse.
- 37:21Speaker 2: It still works and proud of you guys.
- 37:24Speaker 1: Next, hopefully they brought in an exterminator over the offseason.
- 37:29Speaker 1: Injury bug infestations are the worst feeling of a winning
- 37:33Speaker 1: locker room.
- 37:34Speaker 6: Nothing lucky.
- 37:36Speaker 1: It's hard to win games with the most important player
- 37:38Speaker 1: on your roster only getting in seven gamest seconds. Turning
- 37:44Speaker 1: the ship around in Washington this year primarily hinges on
- 37:47Speaker 1: whether Jayden Daniels plays a full season touchdown. Washington JD
- 37:52Speaker 1: five suffered multiple injuries in twenty twenty five.
- 37:55Speaker 5: Over to look McCaffery.
- 37:59Speaker 1: We all saw what he's capable of his rookie year.
- 38:02Speaker 5: Down the lid looking for Luka.
- 38:07Speaker 1: Without him, Washington's offense went from fifth and scoring in
- 38:11Speaker 1: twenty twenty four at twenty eight a game to twenty
- 38:14Speaker 1: a game twenty second.
- 38:17Speaker 3: Way he was fifth.
- 38:19Speaker 5: Rotens tell the game up was at game up and
- 38:22Speaker 5: gathered out the lay the.
- 38:24Speaker 1: Teas a game twenty second in yards per game and
- 38:27Speaker 1: on third down two.
- 38:28Speaker 6: As intercepted intercepted the thirty five yard line.
- 38:32Speaker 1: Wasn't just Daniel's injury that slowed them down. Either our
- 38:38Speaker 1: second best offensive player, Terry McLaurin, only played in ten.
- 38:42Speaker 5: Games, or Tray Scary carry a ride.
- 38:45Speaker 1: No more debo this season was the only key pass
- 38:48Speaker 1: catcher to play most of their contests. Didn't take any
- 38:51Speaker 1: bricks from Craig. I guess Samuel led the team with
- 38:54Speaker 1: seventy two catches over seven hundred yards, rode red squeaky
- 38:58Speaker 1: bike to the end zone five times, picked up Stefan
- 39:05Speaker 1: Diggs to help out. Thousand plus yards last year for
- 39:08Speaker 1: the AFC champion Patriots. Lots of k plus years on
- 39:12Speaker 1: the resume. Jalen Lane is still in the mix. A
- 39:15Speaker 1: little over two hundred yards in his rookie year. Watch
- 39:18Speaker 1: out for his special team skills too. Took two punt
- 39:20Speaker 1: returns to the house for Calibane.
- 39:24Speaker 3: He's off to the races.
- 39:26Speaker 1: Luke McCaffrey only nine games, had some moments in his
- 39:29Speaker 1: year two scored three times ten. They added Antonio Williams
- 39:36Speaker 1: via the third round of the draft.
- 39:37Speaker 2: Quicker than fast, someone who I think could find a
- 39:40Speaker 2: home Day one in the slot. He's got excellent amillin
- 39:45Speaker 2: to set up defenders and then snapped the ball, snapped
- 39:47Speaker 2: the route off and then can make things happen after
- 39:49Speaker 2: the catch.
- 39:50Speaker 1: New action at tight end. Zach Ertz, a commander no more,
- 39:54Speaker 1: leaves off a fifty catch, five hundred and four yard
- 39:57Speaker 1: four TV season hurt to the duckdown again taking his
- 40:04Speaker 1: place Chig o'conkwo. Same type of production with the Titans,
- 40:08Speaker 1: though he played all seventeen games, fifty six catches, five
- 40:12Speaker 1: hundred and sixty yards.
- 40:13Speaker 5: Whaty fifteen? Stakes on his feet at the tenth break
- 40:16Speaker 5: the do down?
- 40:17Speaker 3: What a run? Wow? What a run?
- 40:20Speaker 1: Commander's O line finished middle of the pack and sacks taken.
- 40:24Speaker 1: They're hoping second year right tackled Josh connerly improves a little.
- 40:28Speaker 1: Gave up nine and a half sacks his rookie year,
- 40:31Speaker 1: fifty four pressures allowed, twenty one more than anyone else
- 40:34Speaker 1: on the team.
- 40:36Speaker 3: This suck.
- 40:37Speaker 1: Washington was thirteenth in pressure rate allowed, and left tackle
- 40:40Speaker 1: Laramie tunsl worked out as planned only one sack allowed.
- 40:45Speaker 5: That is caught up dining Zucker stuck down lock again.
- 40:49Speaker 1: Don't have a bad ass at center anymore. Tyler's out.
- 40:53Speaker 1: Nick Alighretti slated to take his place. He missed all
- 40:56Speaker 1: last year seventeen games. Starter for them the year before
- 40:59Speaker 1: Chris fall his back. Didn't think he was big enough
- 41:02Speaker 1: to play on an O line. Right guard Sam Cosm
- 41:05Speaker 1: another dude hoping for a full year, only nine games played.
- 41:08Speaker 1: I'm telling you. The team helped pay for JD and
- 41:11Speaker 1: Turk's summer vacations, and it didn't let up this preseason
- 41:14Speaker 1: as they lost starting left tackle Laramie Tunsel to injury.
- 41:18Speaker 1: That's a big loss. New look to their backfield cut
- 41:22Speaker 1: ties with Austin Eckler only two games played last season,
- 41:25Speaker 1: and with Chris Rodriguez, who did give him five hundred
- 41:28Speaker 1: yards on a nice four to five a run and
- 41:31Speaker 1: five tds. Still have a Bill in the fold.
- 41:41Speaker 5: Put him up with a hide and luck week out.
- 41:43Speaker 1: Jacorey Krofsky merrit over eight hundred yards on four to
- 41:46Speaker 1: six a carry eight paint jobs.
- 41:50Speaker 5: Into the episode Bill Crossky Merrit.
- 41:54Speaker 1: They picked up two dudes in free agency, Jerome Ford,
- 41:57Speaker 1: who didn't see much action last year in Cleveland but
- 42:00Speaker 1: had a couple nice years prior, and Rashad White four
- 42:04Speaker 1: to three per attempt in twenty twenty five. He hit
- 42:07Speaker 1: at that clip back to back years for Tampa Bay
- 42:10Speaker 1: five hundred and seventy two yards last year.
- 42:13Speaker 5: White waiting four o'clock shot, go catch it shot.
- 42:17Speaker 1: Offense banking on better health, which would lead to improved continuity. Defense,
- 42:22Speaker 1: on the other hand, is in need of a serious remodel.
- 42:25Speaker 5: Deep ball to the middle elemb.
- 42:28Speaker 1: Twenty six points per game allowed twenty seventh. Last thing
- 42:31Speaker 1: is what touched out most yards per game allowed in
- 42:34Speaker 1: the league tone down to our sideline. Only one team
- 42:38Speaker 1: with fewer takeaways middle.
- 42:40Speaker 5: Govn raw inside the two to the one to.
- 42:43Speaker 1: The end zone twenty ninth. In the red zone got
- 42:46Speaker 1: it to the zone. Only four teams gave up a
- 42:48Speaker 1: higher passer rating.
- 42:49Speaker 5: Got Tucker craft toutsdown.
- 42:52Speaker 1: Only four more passing yards per game by most yards
- 42:59Speaker 1: per catch allowed. To that end, they used their first
- 43:07Speaker 1: round pick on linebacker Sunny Styles, who is supposed to
- 43:10Speaker 1: be a game changer.
- 43:11Speaker 9: He's got a physical presence. He's a former safety that
- 43:14Speaker 9: dropped down the linebacker. You see him working downhill. He's
- 43:18Speaker 9: not afraid of contact, but he can also shoot gaps
- 43:21Speaker 9: and make plays on the other side of the line
- 43:22Speaker 9: of scrimmage.
- 43:23Speaker 5: This was a question mark here as a former safety,
- 43:25Speaker 5: is you want to.
- 43:26Speaker 1: Take guys on.
- 43:26Speaker 9: He shows he has the ability to do that, and
- 43:28Speaker 9: then that legit speech shows.
- 43:30Speaker 1: Up, hoping he can stop the run.
- 43:32Speaker 5: Inside the twenty, inside the ten, inside the five.
- 43:35Speaker 1: They gave up four to eight to carry last year.
- 43:38Speaker 1: Third most rushing yards per game allowed its.
- 43:40Speaker 5: Fit at the bop spins into the end zone.
- 43:43Speaker 1: The only thing they did at an above average level
- 43:46Speaker 1: on this side of things sack the quarterback. They finished twelfth.
- 43:50Speaker 5: Johnny Newton for the second time as a sack, but they.
- 43:53Speaker 1: Cut ties with their bag leader. Von Miller sealed the
- 43:56Speaker 1: deal nine times in his fourteenth season.
- 43:58Speaker 5: Von Miller chasing down at the thirteen yard.
- 44:01Speaker 1: Line defensive end. Jacob Martin and his five and a
- 44:04Speaker 1: half QB takedowns are gone too.
- 44:06Speaker 5: That was Jacob Martin.
- 44:08Speaker 1: New in Town odafe o way split twenty twenty five
- 44:11Speaker 1: between Baltimore and LA racked up seven and a half
- 44:14Speaker 1: quarterbacks ten sack year in twenty twenty four.
- 44:17Speaker 5: Too good protection again, time runs up, down goes hurts.
- 44:20Speaker 1: They picked up calevon chase On, former first rounder, started
- 44:24Speaker 1: looking like one in his year six, giving New England
- 44:27Speaker 1: seven and a half sacks, which came on the heels
- 44:30Speaker 1: of a five sack twenty twenty four. So trending in
- 44:32Speaker 1: the right direction.
- 44:33Speaker 5: He's pressured, he's hit, he stays out his faint running.
- 44:36Speaker 3: How many goes down?
- 44:37Speaker 1: Picked up Charles Omeneho three and a half sacks for
- 44:40Speaker 1: Kansas City last year had a seven bag year in
- 44:43Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, not.
- 44:44Speaker 5: Able to find anywhere to go with a football, and
- 44:47Speaker 5: Almena who is in there.
- 44:49Speaker 1: Added defensive tackle Tim Settle, who started his career in
- 44:52Speaker 1: Washington that has two five sack years on his resume,
- 44:56Speaker 1: most recent in twenty twenty four sacks. They joined defensive
- 45:00Speaker 1: end Dietrich Wise, who played two games. An injury also
- 45:04Speaker 1: limited Dorance Armstrong to seven games, five and a half
- 45:07Speaker 1: sacks in that time. Leaves you wondering what if he
- 45:10Speaker 1: had played all seventeen and.
- 45:11Speaker 5: Now Williams gets sacked by Armstrong.
- 45:14Speaker 1: Their defense and aged bunch for the most part. Duran
- 45:17Speaker 1: Payin in the middle hits his year nine this season
- 45:20Speaker 1: three sacks, forty six tackles, a nice five passes defensed,
- 45:23Speaker 1: and a forced fumble. In twenty twenty five.
- 45:26Speaker 5: Wilson still pressure sacked, they rush four and they get
- 45:30Speaker 5: home with Tron Payne DT.
- 45:33Speaker 1: Javon Kinlass seventh year upcoming, no sacks, but over forty
- 45:37Speaker 1: tackles and a forced fumble Sapa kim oh, yeah that
- 45:41Speaker 1: ball was out. Defensive tackle Jerson Newton, the youngster up front,
- 45:45Speaker 1: made it home five times coming off the bench most
- 45:48Speaker 1: games and look Johnny Newman.
- 45:50Speaker 5: For the second time as a sack back of the
- 45:52Speaker 5: nine yard.
- 45:52Speaker 1: Line styles takes over for Bobby Wagner. Does have big
- 45:56Speaker 1: shoes to fill. Four and a half sacks, two picks,
- 45:59Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty two tackles. I thought I want
- 46:02Speaker 1: to be working. Also new to the scene, Leoshanall who
- 46:05Speaker 1: comes over from Kansas City, couple of sacks and fifty
- 46:08Speaker 1: eight tackles across fourteen games.
- 46:10Speaker 5: Got that just inside the lion of Scribert.
- 46:14Speaker 1: Frankie Luvu returns over eighty five tackles, three sacks in
- 46:18Speaker 1: his year eighthd hello se on the backside. Yet more
- 46:23Speaker 1: changes didn't bring Jonathan Jones back. Had a solid enough year,
- 46:27Speaker 1: held it down to a respectable ninety right.
- 46:30Speaker 6: Got it's a complete when Jonathan Jones defending it was
- 46:33Speaker 6: attended bravid Ross Saint Prout.
- 46:35Speaker 1: Marshaun Vlattimore also bounced a low nineties rating nine passes
- 46:40Speaker 1: defense when he was on the field.
- 46:42Speaker 5: Good protection for parissick A.
- 46:46Speaker 1: Meek Robertson, a candidate to replace him but in need
- 46:49Speaker 1: of a Dennis Rodman like rebound, has played the pass
- 46:52Speaker 1: well in the past, but gave up eight touchdowns in
- 46:55Speaker 1: Detroit last year.
- 46:56Speaker 5: Road deep down the right side and he's done.
- 47:01Speaker 1: Added safety Nick Cross and his one hundred and twenty takedowns,
- 47:05Speaker 1: a pick and two and a half sacks in twenty
- 47:07Speaker 1: twenty five Ross with a second. He joins Jeremy Reeves
- 47:11Speaker 1: in the safety room. Probably their star a year ago,
- 47:14Speaker 1: held his targets to a sub seventy ray and had
- 47:17Speaker 1: over ninety tackles.
- 47:18Speaker 5: The screen set up for Rice and boy is that
- 47:21Speaker 5: well played by Jeremy Reeve.
- 47:22Speaker 1: Ye're nine for safety Will Harris, who needs to rebound
- 47:25Speaker 1: after giving up a rating over one ten, only played
- 47:28Speaker 1: nine games two.
- 47:30Speaker 5: Not the gonna lie talk touchdown, ye say?
- 47:32Speaker 1: Safety Kwan Martin allowed a fat albert one fifty five
- 47:36Speaker 1: rate at least came close to a one hundred tackle season.
- 47:39Speaker 5: Watching it, recovered it.
- 47:40Speaker 3: Why would they need it?
- 47:41Speaker 1: And then there's the mayor of Halloween Town, cornerback Mike Sainrastill.
- 47:46Speaker 1: Sometimes he looked all unsure and nervous. He gave up
- 47:49Speaker 1: ten touchdowns, most of any player in the NFL seven
- 47:53Speaker 1: hundred and eighty three yards fourth most got a man
- 47:56Speaker 1: in the edge up Touchdad, But he had other games
- 47:59Speaker 1: where where he was grinning ear to ear, eighty five tackles,
- 48:02Speaker 1: a forced fumble, and four interceptions. As twenty twenty five wrapped,
- 48:13Speaker 1: Washington had Jake Moody kicking went ten for eleven for
- 48:16Speaker 1: them on field goal tries, ten for eleven on extra points.
- 48:20Speaker 6: When the news good looking kicking it is cut.
- 48:24Speaker 1: Thumbnail recap three newbies in back cross at safety, Robertson
- 48:29Speaker 1: and vett Achello Witherspoon at corner. He spent the last
- 48:32Speaker 1: three years with the Rams, was hurt last year only
- 48:34Speaker 1: six games played, those two taking the lockers of Latimore
- 48:38Speaker 1: and Jones. Fair to call this group a question mark,
- 48:41Speaker 1: you tell me front seven lots of guys at Quinn's disposal,
- 48:45Speaker 1: o'menahue replacing Jacob Martin in the trenches rested the beef
- 48:49Speaker 1: in the middle on the team last year. Oh Way
- 48:52Speaker 1: takes Miller's spot on the edge chase on his partner
- 48:55Speaker 1: with Armstrong also in the mix. Styles for Wagner Sonny
- 48:59Speaker 1: can do it all or did in college anyway. On offense,
- 49:03Speaker 1: Daniels for a full year is supposed to restore order
- 49:06Speaker 1: and a new OC and David blou former NFL backup
- 49:09Speaker 1: quarterback Commander's twenty twenty six road isn't supposed to be easy.
- 49:13Speaker 1: They have the eighth hardest slate if you account for
- 49:16Speaker 1: their opponents expected win totals. Let's run through their schedule
- 49:20Speaker 1: with the belief Daniels is going to sparkle like he
- 49:23Speaker 1: did in twenty twenty four, to see what kind of
- 49:25Speaker 1: year they could have. Those first three are tough, being
- 49:28Speaker 1: the first two are on the road and the Hawks
- 49:31Speaker 1: are defending champs with a tough D. But get on
- 49:33Speaker 1: the board versus Indy and the Giants. Niners also on
- 49:37Speaker 1: the road, but take Philly at home, drop the Rams game,
- 49:41Speaker 1: but then go on a win bender sweep the GM
- 49:43Speaker 1: in take Cincinnati, Arizona, Tennessee, Houston, Atlanta, Minnesota, Jacksonville finishing
- 49:50Speaker 1: with a win over the Star for a twelve win year.
- 49:54Speaker 1: That would be quite the feat. I dug around the
- 49:56Speaker 1: game preview guy bag and couldn't find eight wins. Schedule
- 50:00Speaker 1: looks daunting. Their own division is going to be tough,
- 50:03Speaker 1: but I won't be shocked if they write the ship
- 50:05Speaker 1: either
