  Five, four, three two one. Welcome, Welcome, welcome, welcome,
• 0:06
  Welcome back to another episode of the so called Sports and a list Yes,
• 0:10
  that's plour right there. I have a special announcement to make. But
• 0:14
  before I get into that, you guys could watch this on Spotify, I
• 0:20
  Heart Radio, Google, Amazon, and shout out to Speaker for uploading these
• 0:25
  So just shout out to them once again. But this special announcement is so
• 0:30
  Josh. He came on last week, but he is going to be coming
• 0:33
  on full time now and I'm ready to be debating with him every single week.
• 0:38
  Gosh, yes, sir, thank you for having me and this time
• 0:44
  forever. I can't wait to get into the world of sports with you and
• 0:49
  with the listeners. And it was a fun week of sports that I can't
• 0:52
  wait to cover. Yes, sir, Well, all right, let's go
• 0:57
  ahead and get straight into it. So mind Cowboys. They bounced back in
• 1:03
  a win Monday Night Football that just happened twenty to seventeen. Was a final
• 1:07
  score where Justin Herbert had a chance to drive down the field and potentially win
• 1:12
  the game or send it into overtime, and that didn't happen. Cowboys end
• 1:17
  up winning the game. Josh, what are your thoughts on this game?
• 1:22
  It's not what I thought it would be. I thought it would be a
• 1:23
  little bit more of a higher scoring game. I just felt like the defenses
• 1:26
  showed up more than I thought they would today with Dak. Also, Dak
• 1:33
  kind of unlocked his old school dual threat ability that he once had like five
• 1:38
  years ago and brought it into this game. And I think that's what helped
• 1:41
  propel the Cowboys for a win, because Tony Paula didn't have too much any
• 1:44
  fishing, too much of an efficient game on the ground, but Dak Prescott
• 1:49
  made that up, made up for that with his legs today. Yeah,
• 1:53
  no, Dak, he played him. After watching this game right here,
• 1:59
  everybody they were wondering, oh, Dak is back to normal three interception Dak
• 2:02
  against the Niners. And let's not be mistaken here, the Chargers were coming
• 2:07
  off of a bye and they won two games in a row, so this
• 2:10
  team was starting to heat up at the right time, and this game was
• 2:15
  starting to tilt at the very beginning of the game because because yeah, the
• 2:20
  Cowboys punted and then the Charges they went on to score. So then Dak
• 2:23
  responds with a touchdown drive and then it becomes a real ball game. Again.
• 2:29
  Defense showed up, showed up, and showed out. But this game,
• 2:32
  right here, this is a game where it just proves that Dak he
• 2:38
  has top ten he's a top ten caliber quarterback, and he's not something that
• 2:44
  could just be replaced. Yes he has bad games, Yes he has bad
• 2:47
  stretches, but when he has games like this over three hundred total yards combined,
• 2:54
  you have two touchdowns and then you had two drop touchdowns by Michael Gallup
• 3:00
  touchdown to Tony Pollard. Guess that could have been a better throw. So
• 3:02
  potentially five touchdowns right there that you could have had total. So this game,
• 3:07
  I believe this was This wasn't an A plus game. I think this
• 3:13
  was like a B plus game right here because all the penalties that happened and
• 3:16
  the game it just looked like a game where the Cowboys would normally normally lose.
• 3:22
  What do you think about Dak's performance in this game? How I said
• 3:28
  earlier, his duel threat kind of helped the game out quite a bit because
• 3:30
  there was a lot of penalties and they kind of like made the game move
• 3:34
  a lot lower than it was supposed to and I really do believe that he
• 3:39
  kind of showed a little bit of what he can do. I think the
• 3:43
  passion passing epics. She needs to be a little bit better down the field.
• 3:46
  But he did look good today. He got his weapons involved, which
• 3:50
  we've been waiting for. But because the Cowboys have all their games have been
• 3:53
  decided by twelve points or more, so, we haven't really seen a full
• 3:58
  Cowboys game on like kind of with the Cardinals. But even then, like
• 4:04
  City Lamb wasn't heavily used, and today he was used I think to where
• 4:09
  he needs to be was sad where he went seven catches for one hundred and
• 4:13
  seventeen yards and Brandon Cooks, well there was a sighting of him today four
• 4:16
  catches thirty six yards and a touchdown and one rush for fourteen. I think
• 4:21
  that's what the Cowboys need to do, get their weapons involved if they want
• 4:25
  to win football games. Yeah, and again you have to go let those
• 4:30
  big time players make big time plays. But as far as for the other
• 4:34
  quarterback, Justin Herbert, I don't know about you, but yes, he
• 4:38
  had some good spurts in this game right here, but I feel like it
• 4:42
  wasn't it looked the stats. They look decent. Twenty two for thirty seven
• 4:46
  two and twenty seven yards, two touchdowns and a pick, But I don't
• 4:50
  think his game was that impressive. What do you feel about Justin Herbert's game?
• 4:55
  I just think this is something that we have come to see with Justin
• 4:58
  Herbert, Like he'll show you these big playability, the movement with his legs,
• 5:02
  the strong arm, like he'll show you all this, but then it
• 5:06
  always leads to not Like I think he's a great talent. I'm not gonna
• 5:11
  say a great quarterback a great because he has all the tools to get the
• 5:15
  job done, but using those tools is something that he struggles with sometimes.
• 5:20
  Today the ball just didn't look like it was getting put in the right places
• 5:26
  for his receivers to make plays. Kenyan Allen had an okay game, seven
• 5:29
  for eighty five in a touchdown base off way he's done for the other games
• 5:33
  this year. That's kind of a drop. But Herbert, I just think
• 5:38
  this is what we're used to. He'll show flashes, but he sometimes most
• 5:43
  of the time, won't get the job done. I don't know if that's
• 5:45
  up to the play calling. It's just, yeah, this is what we
• 5:48
  come to see with Justin Herbert. Yeah, and I think a mixture of
• 5:54
  that has to be Kellen Moore. So as far as from me coming from
• 5:58
  a Cowboys perspective, these few years I've got to know and Kellen Moore,
• 6:03
  as far as how he calls a game in very close games, it was
• 6:08
  very predictable what he was gonna do. Yes, he starts off the game
• 6:11
  guns blazing the script. That looks perfect. It's as far as when he's
• 6:15
  off script that's where it looks terrible. And then, like you mentioned with
• 6:18
  Justin Herbert, you see the flash, you see the pizazz, you see
• 6:21
  all this different stuff where it's like, wow, only a few quarterbacks can
• 6:26
  make those throws or make those plays. But he just can't finish through.
• 6:31
  And that's why he's twenty seven and twenty seven throughout his entire career. Because
• 6:36
  in this coming into the league, I believe that he was a B plus
• 6:42
  a minus quarterback and you're like, oh, well, Justin Herbert, he's
• 6:46
  only going to improve from here, and it looks like he kind of stayed
• 6:49
  the same. It looked like that he just not necessarily peaked out, but
• 6:56
  he is what he's going to be and there's nothing more what you could do
• 7:00
  when now that you have that big contract and now there's not going to be
• 7:02
  as talented as a roster coming into this year's future for the next few years,
• 7:09
  we're gonna really see how good Justin Herbert is I think about go ahead,
• 7:15
  Sorry, I just want to say that too. How Justin Herberts signed
• 7:17
  that contract and he's only getting older. His weapons are also only getting older.
• 7:21
  Keenan Allen is in what age thirty ages thirty one season right now,
• 7:27
  and then Austin Eckler is getting getting older. And plus they were barely able
• 7:31
  to resign him coming into the season. They didn't even resign him, they
• 7:34
  just restructed a contract where he can play this season for the Chargers. He's
• 7:38
  still on a contract year right now. Yeah, so it's it's not looking
• 7:45
  too good for them, But all right, we're gonna go ahead and move
• 7:46
  into the Sunday night football game. It was a Buffalo Bills versus the New
• 7:51
  York Giants. The Bills they won in this game fourteen to nineteen. A
• 7:56
  very ugly game, very questionable game as cars for the last few or the
• 8:01
  last two plays to be exact, the penalty the pass in France got at
• 8:07
  the one yard line, and then when they got to the one yard line
• 8:11
  that Darren Waller no holding call. I believe this is three weeks in a
• 8:13
  row where there's been a no call or a call that hasn't happened, or
• 8:18
  a call that has happened that's affected a Sunday night football game. So again
• 8:22
  I'm gonna ask you this same thing from last week, what do you feel
• 8:26
  about this controversial call or no call? I think anyone with two eyes can
• 8:31
  see that that was a hold of pi whatever, ilegal contact, whatever you
• 8:35
  want to call it. Dude literally grabbed his left arm, pulled the jersey
• 8:39
  all and while he was reaching up for the ball. You can't do that,
• 8:43
  Like that's common, That's an easy call in the NFL, and that
• 8:46
  just didn't happen like it kind of it kind of the Giants played good,
• 8:50
  like they held the Bills kind of in check for most of the game,
• 8:54
  and that call it just sucks it in that way. Yeah. Yeah,
• 9:00
  And I think, like you mentioned from last week, what kills the Bills
• 9:03
  all the time is that they're not able to establish a run game. Yes,
• 9:07
  I know, they had one hundred and twenty eight rushing yards on the
• 9:09
  ground. But whenever they had success as far as driving the ball down the
• 9:15
  field, they were running the ball on those two drives that they scored,
• 9:18
  they were running the ball without Josh Allen, but Josh Allen throwing the ball.
• 9:22
  It looked it didn't look something that was too impressive. And like you
• 9:26
  said, the Giants, they played a they played a good game. But
• 9:31
  we're gonna have to get into that halftime. As far as there was eight
• 9:35
  seconds left on the clock, yeah, I believe. And what I'm gonna
• 9:39
  go ahead and let you just talk about that go ahead. Okay. So
• 9:41
  with Tyrod Taylor, what they were saying in the commentary that it looked like
• 9:48
  he wasn't supposed to check out of that play and he did. It turned
• 9:52
  it into a run. And you can see Brian Gables frustration like right away,
• 9:56
  like he was not having it. He laid into Tyrone Taylor right after
• 10:00
  that play. And that's just something you don't do, especially when you have
• 10:03
  no timeouts, like because a lot there's people said that I could have been
• 10:05
  an RPO and like you could just throw the ball to the ground kick a
• 10:09
  field goal. We'll go into halftime, it's gonna be uh, it's gonna
• 10:13
  be a better result. You have more points going into the half, and
• 10:16
  then yeah, that's how I saw it. It just looked like a lot
• 10:20
  of confusion. They the Bills played it right, kind of held on to
• 10:24
  the guy on the ground for a little bit longer, which was Saquon.
• 10:28
  We let him up, and then time runs out and go into the half
• 10:31
  still with the lead, or still with it, not with the lead,
• 10:35
  but with it still being manageable coming into that coming out the half. Yeah,
• 10:41
  and the Giants they could have went up nine to zero and that could
• 10:43
  have changed the whole ballgame right there. And of course if they kicked that
• 10:46
  field goal, if you just want to do math, kick the field goal,
• 10:48
  it's twelve to fourteen, and you're going for the game winning field goal
• 10:52
  and not necessarily the game winning touchdown. Yeah. But yeah, no,
• 10:56
  Tyron Taylor, he played, he played a game where good enough to win.
• 11:01
  But that offensive line they just keep falling apart, and I don't know
• 11:05
  what's going to happen, honestly at this point, Josh, I think me
• 11:07
  and you are gonna have to suit up next week. We're gonna straight off
• 11:11
  the couch like Justin Pugh or something like that. But but I like how
• 11:18
  they used Tyrod Taylor in this game. I heard someone saying, I kind
• 11:20
  of like Tyrod Taylor more than Daniel Jones. But if they really like watched
• 11:24
  the game, it was a lot of manufactured plays, a lot of play
• 11:26
  action, a lot of rollouts, one read RPOs, hand the ball down
• 11:31
  the middle of Saquon kind of just let the clock run. They weren't asking
• 11:33
  Tyrod Taylor to sling the ball down the field into double covers. They weren't
• 11:37
  asking him to go through the whole progression. They were manufacturing people opening for
• 11:41
  him in which was a good game plan. It just really slowed down the
• 11:45
  game, really had them in control. If it wasn't for like Josh Allen
• 11:48
  being Josh Allen, I think it would have been a whole different result.
• 11:54
  But my question is, you do this with Tyrod Taylor, why can't you
• 11:58
  do this with Daniel Jones, especially since they're a terrible offensive line, you
• 12:01
  know what I mean? I think, oh, what we see, we
• 12:05
  saw that them do it kind of last year with Daniel Jones. But I
• 12:09
  just feel like this season a missing Saquon Barkley for those couple of games kind
• 12:13
  of hurt Daniel Jones a little bit because he didn't have his reliability piece that's
• 12:20
  behind him where you can just hand the ball off, do the Deacon dunk
• 12:22
  two and let him make big plays and kind of make it look like Daniel
• 12:26
  Jones is balling and what when in reality it's like the focus is shifted towards
• 12:31
  Saquon Barkley. Yeah. No, I get that. And now that he
• 12:37
  has the money, it makes sense you're trying to go prove that he's worth
• 12:41
  that contract. Well, all right, next topic, the three o'clock games
• 12:45
  Woe. I'm excited to talk about this game right here. The New York
• 12:50
  Jets upset the Philadelphia Eagles twenty to fourteen. Jalen Hurts has a late interception
• 12:58
  that ends up costing them the game. What are your impressions on this game,
• 13:03
  Josh, I just want to say I told Y also, I said
• 13:07
  the Jets were gonna beat the Eagles. I'm gonna go out there and put
• 13:09
  it. I'm gonna put it out there. I did. I did predict
• 13:11
  that last week. But what I saw is the Eagles passing game still being
• 13:18
  inefficient. I said it last week on the pod that it just looks like
• 13:22
  they're forcing the ball to aj Brown, they're taking the deep shots instead of
• 13:26
  like actually like slowly going through the play like it's a lot of big plays
• 13:31
  that they want to take when the small plays is what kind of what the
• 13:35
  Eagles have really been made their money off of. And we saw Jillen Hurts
• 13:39
  forcing a lot of football. Three bad interceptions. One of them was I
• 13:43
  don't know, Dallas Goddard probably should have caught it, but the other two
• 13:46
  were just forcing the football on the sideline into double coverage. And in the
• 13:50
  last play where they kind of like had to score, kind of had to
• 13:54
  get the fourth down after allowing the Jets to come back, Devonte Smith had
• 13:58
  to play dB on one. So they were really forcing the ball and I
• 14:01
  think that's what led to the to them losing this game. And plus they
• 14:05
  got away from the run. How did the Philadelphia Eagles get away from the
• 14:09
  run, their strongest virtue of their whole team, you know? And Jalalen
• 14:13
  Hurst to the ball forty five times and DeAndre Swift only ran it for ten,
• 14:16
  So it make it make sense to me, man, I'm not gonna
• 14:22
  lie the whole time you were talking. I couldn't help but just smiled the
• 14:24
  entire time. Man, Cuz who we I know he gave more of the
• 14:28
  analytical side right here. But man, has my quarterback Dak Prescott all last
• 14:35
  year been receiving a bunch of crap as far as interceptions, even if it
• 14:39
  went off of some of the pass catcher's hands, Oh, it's still Dak's
• 14:45
  fault. He's forcing the ball. He's not worth a contract. Jalen Hurts
• 14:48
  this year seven touchdowns, seven interceptions. He has looked pedestrian to what he
• 14:54
  looked last year. Last year, he was no question a top top five,
• 15:01
  arguably top three quarterback. This year, is he really playing consistently at
• 15:05
  a top ten level? And was it necessarily that that? Just you had
• 15:11
  Shane Stikn, your offensive coordinator, who's a genius end up just creating what
• 15:18
  Jalen Hurts could possibly possibly be. As far as his peak, I'm not
• 15:22
  saying he's still not a good quarterback, but as far as the same treatment
• 15:26
  that Dak Prescott got last year, Jalen Hurts should be receiving as well.
• 15:31
  And you saw what happened whenever your main guy Lane Johnson right tackle. He
• 15:37
  went out for the remainder of the game, and they he just looked totally
• 15:43
  different than what he usually looks. And I don't know if that's necessarily a
• 15:48
  regression or him trying too much. Like you said, he was forcing the
• 15:52
  ball down the field, but there's no reason for that. Yes, I
• 15:56
  know, Zach Wilson, he had a good game. He had a game
• 16:00
  where kind of like Tyrod Taylor, if you'd want to agree to that,
• 16:03
  and where he played not to lose or not to win. So he played
• 16:08
  into the defense's hands and he just forced stuff and it just looked not like
• 16:18
  what Jalen Hurts usually looks like. But as far as this Jets defense right
• 16:23
  here, do you believe that this Jets defense is becoming what they were saying
• 16:29
  before the season. As far as the two thousand Ravens and the eighty five
• 16:33
  Bears, I think we've kind of seen it the whole season. It's just
• 16:37
  like their offense, is it kind of matching their energy. We've seen them
• 16:41
  hold Josh Allen a thirteen points. We've seen them kind of disrupt Patrick Mahomes,
• 16:47
  and we just saw it this week with Jalen Hurts. Those are three
• 16:48
  top quarterbacks in the NFL, with one of them being the best quarterback and
• 16:53
  one of them being in contention for the top three. I think that they
• 16:59
  have they really like put pressure on the quarterback with that front, with that
• 17:04
  front seven, with their front four, they're able to rotate a whole bunch
• 17:08
  of guys. You can get Quinn Williams, you can get Huff, you
• 17:11
  can get Jermaine Johnson, Solomon Thomas. It just the list goes on and
• 17:15
  on with that front four, and they're able to create a lot of pressure.
• 17:18
  CJ. Mosley is one of the best mental linebackers in the NFL.
• 17:22
  He has been for many years. And he's he's quick, he can get
• 17:26
  to the ball, he can stuff the run, he can play in coverage.
• 17:27
  I think that's where they really win compared to a bunch of other teams
• 17:32
  on defense. And you know what's even crazier this game, they didn't even
• 17:33
  have Sauce Garner and they didn't even have DJ Reed, their two top corners,
• 17:37
  and they still were able to do this to Jalen Hurts. Yeah,
• 17:41
  and it's just crazy. I know you mentioned those quarterbacks, Josh Allen Patrick
• 17:45
  Mahomes and Jalen Hurts. I'm not trying to talk about the Cowboys still,
• 17:49
  but all I just know is Dak Prescott put up thirty points against them.
• 17:52
  Sorry, that defense put them in good positions. That defense did put them
• 17:57
  in good positions that game. Hey, hey, hey, hey, you
• 18:00
  gotta score. You gotta score on on that stuff? Am I correct?
• 18:04
  Even if it was field goals or not put them in position? You're right?
• 18:08
  All right, well, all right, we're gonna go ahead and get
• 18:11
  into this next game. It was the Los Angeles Rams versus the Arizona Cardinals,
• 18:18
  and this game which looked close at the very beginning, I believe,
• 18:21
  yeah, No, it was nine to nine going into halftime in the Rams.
• 18:25
  They took over one twenty six to nine. And again Cooper Cup another
• 18:30
  week back and looks dominant as ever. What is your biggest takeaway from this
• 18:36
  game? Right here? You're it was close going to the half, but
• 18:40
  you know the Cardinals had to make that phone call, hey we need the
• 18:41
  first overall pick and kind of narrow down Josh. But no, and in
• 18:47
  all reality, I think we Cup is just Cooper Cup, Mike. He's
• 18:52
  doing the things that we expect Cooper Cup to do heaving for one touchdown.
• 18:56
  That's just what we come to to us see what the arguably the best or
• 19:02
  top five wide receiver in the NFL. Puka had had a lower day to
• 19:06
  day, but he still got the targets and so their target share is still
• 19:10
  pretty much up there. But what I like is what I saw in Kyron
• 19:12
  Williams. Kyen Williams has been their go to running back twenty for one fifty
• 19:18
  eight and one touchdown. He kind of got phased out of the passing game
• 19:21
  since Cooper Cup has come back, but that's what they've been looking for.
• 19:23
  They've been looking for a good running back since basically Todd Gurley. They've gone
• 19:26
  through Cam Akers, They've gone through Sony Michelle. They've gone through a whole
• 19:30
  bunch of names, but none of them have stuck around. But I feel
• 19:32
  like they've kind of found a guy. What's going to suck that they're gonna
• 19:34
  be without him for the next game versus the Stillers, I think because they
• 19:38
  he hurt his ankle on that on that grown man touchdown he had where he
• 19:42
  ran through three guys and reached over the goal line. But what I've seen
• 19:47
  from him That's my biggest takeaway is that he's a that they're able to establish
• 19:51
  a run game. Yeah. No, they definitely are able to establish a
• 19:56
  run game. But as far as how yes, I know the Rams they
• 20:02
  are three and three, but realistically I don't see them making it that far
• 20:07
  or even making the playoffs. Not necessarily because they're a bad team. It's
• 20:14
  just you have Seattle in that division and you have San Francisco. So my
• 20:18
  question to you is, so I don't Okay, let's just discuss this real
• 20:23
  quick. Do you think that the Rams are going to have a deep postseason
• 20:26
  run? Yes? Or no? No, I don't think they do.
• 20:30
  But I'm not saying I'm not ruling them out of making the playoffs either.
• 20:33
  Hmm. Okay, well I can see that. But do you go into
• 20:40
  this offseason and say, all right, should we try to draft a QB
• 20:42
  and reboot or do you give matt Stafford one more chance, one more big
• 20:47
  chance to make another Super Bowl run. I think what they have to do
• 20:52
  is figure out if they won't, if they are going to keep Matthew Stafford,
• 20:55
  how are they going to put an offensive line around him, How are
• 20:56
  they going to get one more weapon? Maybe or even just re established the
• 21:00
  defense because the defense isn't the same defense it's been since the Super Bowl run
• 21:04
  that they had two years ago. And the Aaron Donald's even considered retirement this
• 21:11
  year, like so there's no question he'll even return after this season. So
• 21:14
  there's a lot of question marks around the Rams after this year. Yeah,
• 21:18
  no, the Rams. They they did what they had to do. They
• 21:22
  they've played the opponent that was on their schedule and they took care of business.
• 21:26
  But we're gonna go ahead and move on to this next game. It
• 21:29
  was the Detroit Lions versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in which I thought,
• 21:33
  I don't know about you, but I thought this is going to be a
• 21:36
  high scoring game. But the Lions they won twenty to six, and now
• 21:41
  they improved a five and one and are tied for the best record in the
• 21:45
  NFL. What's your biggest takeaway from this game. I've been seeing this from
• 21:51
  the Lions over the last two years. You can ask anybody that I know.
• 21:53
  I've been seeing the Lions are on the come up, and they are
• 21:56
  here. They are here man. Jared Goff in the conversation for MVP.
• 22:00
  Another great day from him three fifty three, two touchdowns. Alman Off Saint
• 22:04
  Brown is itching his way up to that top five consideration this year. Twelve
• 22:08
  for one, twenty four and one touchdown, And yeah, they're they're just
• 22:12
  cooking on all cylinders. Man. Their defense is looking good. They held
• 22:18
  the whole Buccaneers team to under forty under fifty rushing yards. They kind of
• 22:26
  held Mike Evans a little bit in check. They were really physical with him,
• 22:29
  and uh, yeah, they just look amazing from start to finish.
• 22:34
  And uh, it's gonna suck that David Montgomery got injured during this game,
• 22:38
  but I think this is where they can kind of unleash and get Jamior Gibbs
• 22:42
  into the offense. Yeah. No, this Lion's team. It looks like
• 22:48
  a force to be reckon with. And they did everything right three hundred and
• 22:52
  eighty total yards, nine for sixteen on third down. They're doing what the
• 22:56
  good teams should do. They take care of business. And let's not be
• 23:00
  yes. I know that the Buccaneers there three and two if you just look
• 23:03
  at straight record, but the only loss they had before this game was to
• 23:07
  the Eagles, So they're a very good team. And until that's going to
• 23:11
  be competitive. Oh yeah, and their defense is as of these past six
• 23:17
  weeks, they've been playing as a top ten defense. And the Lions,
• 23:22
  I know, they didn't score many points, but they were able to to
• 23:26
  control the tempo and as far as just have their way, especially late in
• 23:30
  this game right here, they were able to take care of business. And
• 23:33
  like you said, I'm on Ross Saint Brown. He he is only ascending
• 23:37
  up from here. His biggest concern is injuries. Hopefully he stays healthy right
• 23:41
  there. But that's a nice report right there. And one thing that looked
• 23:45
  very scary for them is Jamison Williams is starting to get implemented into this offense
• 23:52
  and it's and it's providing a deep threat. So not only do you have
• 23:56
  i'm on Ross Saint Brown, you have Sam Laporta, but now you have
• 23:59
  jas Some Williams who's going to be that deep threat. So what can you
• 24:03
  really do? Oh, you're going to be having three back. You can't
• 24:07
  stack the or you can't stack the box. Now now you have Dave Montgomery
• 24:11
  and Jamier Gibbs and that nasty offensive line. Yeah, they bring a law
• 24:17
  on offense that a defense has to plan for because if you're gonna put two
• 24:19
  high safeties. A Monroe is going to tear you apart underneath, or some
• 24:23
  reporter is gonna tear you apart underneath. It's kind of a lot that they
• 24:26
  have to to figure out with this team when you're playing against them. What
• 24:32
  I do want to see from Jamison Williams a lot more is more in the
• 24:36
  middle, because I want to see if he's a receiver that's just a sideline
• 24:41
  north and south, run up and down the field deep thereat. I want
• 24:44
  to see if he can actually get in the middle and create create plays with
• 24:47
  his legs instead of like after the like after the Cats, instead of just
• 24:51
  like throw it deep, I'm gonna go get it, you know. I
• 24:52
  just want to kind of see where he's at as a player because we've never
• 24:56
  really seen him play in the NFL yet besides maybe two games, besides maybe
• 25:00
  three games that he has played. Yeah, like you mentioned last week,
• 25:06
  is he just that mvs role? Yeah? This this Lions team, I
• 25:11
  think they have a real shot to make the one seed because I'm gonna list
• 25:15
  to the remaining games. So you have a tough game against the Ravens next
• 25:18
  week, but then after that, Yeah, it's gonna be a dang good
• 25:22
  game. But then you have Raiders, Chargers, Bears, Packers, Saints,
• 25:27
  Bears, Broncos, Vikings, then you have Cowboys and Vikings. Other
• 25:32
  than a couple of those games, you could probably say the Chargers and Cowboys,
• 25:36
  maybe the Vikings. Yeah. Other than that, they looks like they
• 25:41
  could. Yeah, it looks like it's a cakewalk and they could have that
• 25:45
  one seed right there. They could go from being a fringe wild card team
• 25:48
  to being the one seed. And I think I think it's true. Now
• 25:52
  after seeing another week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, are you starting to buy
• 25:57
  the Lions Super Bowl hype? I am, I'm starting to buy them.
• 26:02
  I think they're gonna be scary for any team, the Niners, Cowboys,
• 26:06
  Eagles, they all need to be on the lookout. This is a team
• 26:07
  that can match them on any on any side of the ball. Like they
• 26:12
  have Adian Hutchinson, who's bowling. I think he's leading the NFL and pressures
• 26:15
  right now. And then Jared Gof's playing like an MVP. He's my pick
• 26:19
  for MVP right now. I'll just put it out there as of right now,
• 26:23
  he's my MVP, so uh, they're the futures only looking bright for
• 26:29
  the Lions, But for the Buccaneers, let's not be like, oh dang,
• 26:33
  like I still think they could make the playoffs. They're they're a really
• 26:36
  good team. Baker's still playing good. I don't think he looked terrible in
• 26:38
  this game. It's just he was playing a really good team. And the
• 26:41
  what I do want to see from the Buccaneers is a better run game.
• 26:47
  Rashad why Keyshawn vond They're just not getting it done right now. But their
• 26:51
  passing game is still really good. Yeah, and especially with their weaker division.
• 26:56
  The Saints are not living up to their hype. The Falcons, They're
• 26:59
  on and off. And then the last team in that division helped me out
• 27:03
  here, Saints. But damn, oh my gosh, a Panthers. The
• 27:11
  Panthers. Yeah, yeah, well, all right, we'll go ahead and
• 27:18
  move on. That's why we couldn't remember. They're not even a team.
• 27:22
  Yeah, the Panthers are not good at all that we just forget about them.
• 27:26
  Yeah, all right, Yeah, we're gonna go ahead and move on
• 27:29
  to the Raiders and Patriots game. Man, I don't know about you.
• 27:33
  I feel like these Patriots games no matter who the other team is, I
• 27:37
  feel like it's kind of unwatchable. But the Raiders they won twenty one to
• 27:44
  seventeen, in which the Patriots they had they had a chance late to potentially
• 27:48
  win the game, but obviously the Mac Jones safety kind of ended it from
• 27:52
  there. Is there any takeaways from this game you have? I just want
• 27:56
  to say, take back my take last week where I said Matt Joe was
• 28:00
  a good quarterback. He's a backup quarterback. Uh you texted me like after
• 28:04
  that, like do that was the best part of the whole podcast. No,
• 28:07
  But what I what I want to call this the Jacobe Myers revenge game.
• 28:12
  Jacobe Myers was mad that he didn't get resigned by the Patriots, and
• 28:15
  the Patrios are probably regretting it because Juju Smith Schuster, although he is a
• 28:19
  chief legend Super Bowl champion, you know, he's just not the same caliber
• 28:26
  player Jacobe Myers is as explosiveness as creating these big plays. Jacoby Myers is
• 28:32
  a He signed the same contract that they signed Juju smith Shuster too, which
• 28:37
  is kind of like, oh, you replaced me. So he came out
• 28:41
  here in Bold Today evolved on Sunday five for sixty one in a touchdown,
• 28:45
  which he's been very consistent this year. I just said that that Jess Jacobs
• 28:51
  would kind of run over them. He's been really inefficient this year, but
• 28:53
  he's still getting the workload, which is kind of like keeping him in these
• 28:56
  games, slowing down the clock a lot. But that's for me. Mac
• 29:00
  Jones, dude, I watched him roll out of the pocket, looked like
• 29:03
  he was about to make a play head Hunter Henry wide open, and then
• 29:06
  he threw it like ten yards to the other side for an intercept. So
• 29:10
  and I was like, dude, get this guy out the game. And
• 29:11
  as but for the Zeke there was a Zeke siding. Zeke looked pretty good,
• 29:15
  Stevenson looked better than usual, but mac Jones just can't get it done.
• 29:19
  Man. Yeah no, I remember I was listening to that podcast again
• 29:26
  and I was like, wait, what, No, he did say Mac
• 29:27
  Jones was a good quarterback. I I had rewinded a couple of times,
• 29:30
  but yeah, no, Uh. This Patriots team, for the first time
• 29:34
  in the Bill Belichick era, they look undisciplined. Ten penalties for seventy nine
• 29:40
  yards, you have a turnover. It doesn't help that your quarterback is not
• 29:44
  good at all, So they're not really gonna have any chances in this game
• 29:48
  because you're gonna be having a negative game script, especially with Matt Judah on
• 29:52
  Christian Gonzalez them being out, So you're not gonna have your star defensive players
• 29:56
  to keep you in the game. Kind of something. Chris Jones. Yeah,
• 30:02
  they just have plenty of injuries that just keep piling on and on and
• 30:06
  on. So my question to you is should they officially start the tank for
• 30:12
  Caleb. I don't think you could ever get Bill Belichick to tank. I
• 30:18
  think he's still gonna try scheming up and keeping these teams in games. I
• 30:21
  think we're gonna see a couple of games where the Patriots are in it,
• 30:23
  but they just don't have enough to win. I think we see Kendrick Bourne
• 30:29
  maybe be like a trade target at the trade deadline for some of the top
• 30:32
  teams looking to add another receiver. And uh, I don't know, was
• 30:36
  this see after this season? Like the future, I don't know what it
• 30:37
  holds for the Patriots right now. Is Bill gonna leave? I think I
• 30:41
  don't think you fire Bill Belichick. I think Bill Belichick leaves on his own
• 30:45
  terms, So we'll just kind of see what happens, what plays out.
• 30:51
  Yeah, no, Bill Belichick, like you said, he can't be fired.
• 30:53
  He's done so much for that organization. It's gonna be yeah, just
• 30:57
  oh he'll step away quote unquote. But as far as like you were saying,
• 31:02
  you're not gonna get Bill Belichick to tank, but let me read you
• 31:06
  just these next three games right here, you have the Bills, Dolphins,
• 31:08
  and Commanders, then you have the Colts, then you have the Giants.
• 31:14
  Maybe you could win Chargers, Steelers, Chiefs, Broncos, Bills and Jets.
• 31:22
  Yeah. Yeah, so they could possibly possibly be one in sixteen,
• 31:27
  maybe the Giants, the Giants and Broncos. Maybe they win. But I'm
• 31:33
  not exactly sure. But I don't know. I just think that they should
• 31:37
  start tanking because there's nothing you could really do from here, especially in that
• 31:41
  loaded division that you have. And now the Jets they are looking even better
• 31:45
  now. But more on the Raiders i'd like to talk about. As for
• 31:51
  this rookie tight end class has been really good. We've seen Simila Porter play
• 31:55
  good. We've seen Luke Musker he's played good. We've seen dulscan Kid kind
• 31:59
  of like he's injured right now, and he wasn't really playing great, but
• 32:01
  he's still like showing signs. Michael mahyor Michael Mayer looked pretty good. He
• 32:07
  had five for seventy five in his game last week. They were trying to
• 32:08
  get them more involved. Also, that's just something to watch. I think,
• 32:12
  especially probably you play fantasy tight end position is pretty weak. Maybe that's
• 32:15
  the guy to look for. And then I just want to see them get
• 32:19
  the ball to Devonte Adams more than two times in this game. You know,
• 32:22
  like they probably win by more if they get Devonte Adams, probably the
• 32:25
  best receiver arguably in football the ball. But as and also for Max Crosby,
• 32:31
  I think he's in contingent for defensive Player of the year right now.
• 32:35
  He's been bawling. He had a safety, seven total tackles for solo,
• 32:38
  a half a second, a quarterback hit. Like that's a pretty good game.
• 32:45
  Yeah. I know this Raiders team, they have plenty of pieces in
• 32:47
  there. I feel like they're going to be the team that's this year that's
• 32:51
  going to be five hundred and they could potentially sneak their way into the playoffs.
• 32:55
  And like you mentioned about Davontam's man. That cost me a fantasy foot
• 33:00
  ball game right there. I'll end up losing by two damn points because DeVante
• 33:02
  Adams only had two targets for two catches, which is yeah, I'm not
• 33:07
  even gonna get into that. But yeah, no, uh, Raiders,
• 33:13
  I don't know what really holds for them, because yes, I know that
• 33:15
  you're technically you're technically third or tied. You no second and third because you
• 33:22
  have the same record. Oh no, they're second, My bad, shame
• 33:25
  on me. They have the Broncos Chargers they're ahead of, but I don't
• 33:28
  think that's gonna last for long. But yeah, okay, well, never
• 33:37
  mind what I was saying about being a five hunderd team right there, because
• 33:43
  no, they're Patrick Mahomes owns them. But all right, let's go ahead
• 33:47
  and get into this next game right here. It was the Houston Texans versus
• 33:52
  the New Orleans Saints. C J. Stroud finally threw his pick after that
• 33:57
  long streak that he had of not throwing a pick, and they won twenty
• 34:01
  to thirteen. And these teams both move on to three and three. What
• 34:06
  is your biggest takeaway from this game? I think this is a. It
• 34:10
  was a good game, good defensive, like all the way. I think
• 34:14
  both teams play good. The Saints, I don't know, Like I just
• 34:19
  feel like Garrett Carr just some throws he tried making, Like I'm just like,
• 34:22
  bro, why would you throw that? Like some things to the sideline,
• 34:27
  they're too far away from the receiver. He's trying to hit Michael Thomas
• 34:30
  like he's primed Dez Bryant or something like that. Michael Thomas is pushed in
• 34:34
  thirty like I don't know if he's gonna if he's injury prone. Like we're
• 34:37
  trying to force these balls into certain situations and there's no reason why chryso Lava
• 34:40
  shodn't have a single catch, like in the first half, Like I think
• 34:45
  if they get him involved more earlier. Ever, I think ever since Alvin
• 34:47
  Kamara has come back, like they've kind of been forcing him the football and
• 34:51
  it's kind of like where they were spraying the ball at the beginning of the
• 34:52
  season helping them win games. I think manufacturing to one guy is kind of
• 34:57
  hurting them a little bit right now. Yeah, and like we mentioned last
• 35:02
  week, Derek Carry, he looks like somebody who's not gonna help them,
• 35:06
  but he's not gonna hurt him. And yes, his stats they do look
• 35:08
  good. Three hundred and fifty three passing yards, one touchdown, one pick.
• 35:14
  Yeah right, it's not what it looks like he's he's just don't he
• 35:22
  could make different plays or he shouldn't make different plays that are that are happening.
• 35:27
  It's just something that where he's an average quarterback and people that are expecting
• 35:31
  him to potentially be a top ten quarterback and get them over the hump.
• 35:37
  In this week Division MM and the Texans, it should have been a game
• 35:42
  that you should have won. Even though the Texans, they they do look
• 35:45
  good right now. Their defense is decent. CJ. Stroud has played pretty
• 35:49
  good. But they should win these games right here, because you're gonna have
• 35:52
  these divisional games coming up, and you spent all this all this money,
• 35:59
  So where is it really gonna lead you to. It's gonna lead you to
• 36:01
  end up just having older guys on a big contract and you're gonna end up
• 36:07
  tanking for these next five to ten years because you were worried about the future
• 36:13
  or or not about the future, and you're gonna end up no draft picks.
• 36:17
  Munch of salary or being salary hill and really no plan at all.
• 36:23
  Yeah, they're kind of wasting these defenses years last final years that they have.
• 36:28
  Cameron Jordan's only getting older, Demary David is only getting older, Marshall
• 36:30
  Attimore is only getting older, Tyron Matthews only getting older. Like they're wasting
• 36:35
  these guys right now when they need they should be in win now mode,
• 36:37
  and like they just there doesn't seem like a sense of like urgency sometimes and
• 36:42
  the play calling is just kind of like mess sometimes, you know, yeah,
• 36:47
  yeah, no it it doesn't help. I feel like these coaches there,
• 36:52
  this whole team, this literally defines the defines a team as far as
• 36:55
  average. Some weeks that'll look good, other weeks they look bad. But
• 37:00
  most of the time they'll be right in the middle, like this game where
• 37:04
  they're just average. They're just an average football team, and even if they
• 37:07
  do make the playoffs, they'll probably end up getting waxed. So as far
• 37:13
  as with the text inside of the ball, how do you feel about CJ.
• 37:17
  Stroud and this game right here? Because I know statistically this wasn't the
• 37:22
  best game right here, but how do you think he played in this game?
• 37:25
  I think he played good. Man. People, he's been playing so
• 37:29
  good. People forget he's a rookie. I think that's what they're gonna look
• 37:31
  at with the stats team, Like, oh, he didn't play good,
• 37:34
  but he played a good football game. He got Dalton schultzenvolved, he got
• 37:37
  he spreads, He's really good at spraying the ball around. He had Robert.
• 37:39
  He gave Robert Woods a touchdown. Nico Collins caught four for eighty.
• 37:45
  He played really good. His running game behind him is Like, it's kind
• 37:50
  of weird to me that they're kind of in a committee right now. Devin
• 37:52
  Singletary twelve for fifty eight, Damian Pierce thirteen for thirty four. That's kind
• 37:57
  of weird to me. Damian Pierce isn't looking like the guy we saw last
• 38:00
  year. I get the offensive line is a little banged up with Devis Singletary
• 38:02
  is still kind of producing, So like, I want to see what happens
• 38:06
  with Damian Pierce moving forward. Yeah, and I feel bad for all the
• 38:13
  people that picked him in fantasy football. I'm glad I wasn't one of those.
• 38:16
  But also shout out to Demico Ryans. He's doing something that nobody expected
• 38:22
  him to do. And I think this team right here, give him a
• 38:27
  year or two. I feel like they're going to be like the Detroit Lions
• 38:30
  because their offensive line, they're a pretty solid offensive line. And with Demico
• 38:35
  Ryans coaching this defense right here, this defense is Yeah, the defense is
• 38:39
  really nice and they play very aggressive. It's it's like a coaching tree.
• 38:45
  As far as from Kyle Shanahan, the defensive coordinators that leave, the defense
• 38:50
  is always good no matter where they go. Look at Robert Salad to the
• 38:52
  Jets, one of the best defenses in the league. And now you have
• 38:55
  Demico Ryans on the Texans and they're becoming one of the best defenses in the
• 39:00
  league. So, like like I was saying, yeah, I know this
• 39:04
  Texans team. Give him another good draft classer too, and CJ. Stroud
• 39:07
  if he keeps developing, which it looks very good right now, they could
• 39:10
  be a scary team in the future. Yeah, they got some ballers right
• 39:14
  now. Man, Henry Toto, Will Anderson Junior, Jalen Petriet, Dish,
• 39:21
  you know that Derek Stingley is not even like healthy right now. Oh,
• 39:24
  Derek, Derek Stingley isn't like healthy right now. Just wait till he
• 39:28
  comes back. Yeah, no scary for the Texans, which for the first
• 39:32
  time in a while, they have a bright future. But all right,
• 39:37
  let's go ahead and get into this next game right here. Man. Another
• 39:39
  game that I had fun watching it was the Cleveland Browns upsetting the San Francisco
• 39:45
  forty nine Ers nineteen to seventeen on a field goal where Jake Moody could have
• 39:52
  made it to potentially win the game. Now all the unbeaten teams are officially
• 39:57
  beaten. What are your takeaways from this game? The Browns defense is full
• 40:02
  of dogs, you know. Well, I mean we knew that already,
• 40:06
  but they're really they're probably the best defense in all of football right now.
• 40:10
  They really held these forty nine Ers weapons in check. Sir CMC did get
• 40:16
  hurt, well, we're wait to see his status in the coming days.
• 40:19
  I heard this maybe like a one to two week injury. And then Deebo
• 40:22
  Samuel left with the shoulder injury. But they held George Kittle and check brand
• 40:27
  Iyuk was pretty much in check the whole game for that until that last drive
• 40:30
  and then brock Party just looked like an ordinary guide this one. In this
• 40:36
  game. We said last week that he may be in the MVP conversation.
• 40:39
  I'm not ready to take him out of that yet. But he did go
• 40:43
  twelve for twenty seven for only one twenty five, a touchdown, an interception.
• 40:46
  This defense is bawling right now, and they're the driving force for the
• 40:50
  Browns, whose quarterback right now is PJ. Walker. Yeah, and for
• 40:54
  everybody as far as them saying, oh, well, the Niners, true
• 41:00
  Williams was banged up, Deebo Samuel, he was hurt, didn't come back,
• 41:02
  Cem seed in it. People, they forget that. The Cleveland Browns,
• 41:07
  they didn't have their right tackle, Conkland. I can't think of his
• 41:08
  first name, Nick Chubb. He's out for the year, Jack Conklin,
• 41:14
  Conkland, thank you, But yeah, no, and then you didn't have
• 41:17
  Deshaun Watson, and then you still on the third streak. Yeah, and
• 41:23
  you don't have Nick Chubb. Well, obviously he's not gonna be back the
• 41:28
  whole season. But I thought with this Browns defense, yes, I thought
• 41:31
  that they were a good defense. But their first game they played the Bengals
• 41:36
  who were kind of a little bit banged up as far as Joe Burrow,
• 41:38
  So you could think all right, well, it's a good matchup for them.
• 41:43
  Then the Steelers Canny Pickett, Matt Canada, the offense so so tight
• 41:46
  ends we don't have to speak on how their offense is. Then Ravens they
• 41:51
  it's like, okay, well they lost to the Ravens Lamar Jackson, a
• 41:53
  good quarterback of dynamic offense. They have twenty eight points scored against them.
• 41:59
  Then you have a buzz saw on the forty nine Ers who just demolished the
• 42:01
  Cowboys, and they hold their own against them. So I don't know.
• 42:08
  I don't know what this Browns defense is. Maybe that skuffle before the game
• 42:14
  it just sparked a fire into them. Maybe that's something that has to do
• 42:19
  with it. But what this Brown's defense is doing statistically, they're the best
• 42:24
  defense since the Purple People Eaters, which is the Minnesota Vikings in the nineteen
• 42:29
  seventies, which is ridiculous. I don't know if they're going to keep this
• 42:31
  pace. But like you were saying, as far as defensive player of the
• 42:36
  Year with Max Crosby, I believe that Miles Garrett and how he was able
• 42:40
  to throw around Trim Williams, which nobody has ever to do. He should
• 42:45
  be the defensive Player of the Year because he is a driving like you said,
• 42:50
  the defense of the driving force for this team. Miles Garrett is a
• 42:52
  driving force for this defense right here. I think it's crazy that Miles Garrett
• 42:58
  doesn't have a Defensive Player of the Year already, you know, like he's
• 43:00
  been such a good player for what six years already, five years already something
• 43:06
  like that, Like like he shows up every time he makes plays. He's
• 43:12
  a freak of nature. He there was a play where they show that Trent
• 43:16
  Williams hardly ever loses a rep and he grabbed Trip Williams and flinging them across
• 43:23
  like he was like a doll or something like that. And Miles Garrett deserves
• 43:29
  to be in the conversation. And we'll just see if this pace for him
• 43:31
  keeps up throughout the rest of the season. Yeah, and hopefully it does,
• 43:38
  because he definitely does deserve a Defensive Player of the Year. But all
• 43:42
  right, let's go to move on to this next game. The Minnesota Vikings.
• 43:46
  They beat the Chicago Bears after Justin Fields went down I believe it was
• 43:52
  early third early third quarter, and then their backup quarterback almost made a comeback
• 43:58
  in this game, but obviously couldn't it done. What is your biggest takeaway
• 44:02
  from this game? This is a game that probably the Vikings were expected to
• 44:07
  win. Sure they were coming into this game one and four, but they
• 44:10
  were only losing by one possession in each game that they have lost. And
• 44:16
  the Kirk Cousins played Okay, it wasn't his best game of the season.
• 44:21
  He's played a lot better in his last couple of games. He only threw
• 44:22
  thirty one attempts, which was his lowest of the season. Alexander Madison continues
• 44:28
  to like kind of disappoint kind of not eighteen for forty four is not really
• 44:30
  that efficient. Hawkinson is still Hawkinson. But what I did see from Kirk
• 44:36
  Cousins is he got receivers involved. kJ Osborne and Jordan Adison both like four
• 44:42
  catches, three catches, ten targets, eight targets. They he really spread
• 44:47
  the spread the ball around to where instead of fighting Justin Jefferson every play,
• 44:52
  he made sure like the ball was moving in majority And as for the Bears,
• 44:57
  it's just the Bears being the Bears. Justin Field's injured. We'll see
• 45:01
  how that plays out and if he messes three weeks and they continue to lose.
• 45:06
  I just kind of questioned Justin Field's future now because there's been three seasons,
• 45:10
  nothing to produce for it. He's hurt, they continue to lose.
• 45:14
  There might be a trait that we see at the end of the year,
• 45:16
  we're just In Fields on a different team and they pick a quarterback and another
• 45:21
  strong piece. Yeah, and it's and not necessarily that that this isn't Justin
• 45:30
  Field's fault, but these past three games that he's been playing. I know
• 45:34
  this game, he didn't have the best start, but he will starting to
• 45:36
  pick it up a little bit. They got two field goals in the second
• 45:38
  quarter, so it's like, okay, well you could see something kind of
• 45:40
  clicking now. But now, like you said, he's gonna be out potentially
• 45:45
  three weeks, you're gonna be one and eight, And it's like, okay,
• 45:49
  well, we can't really do nothing from here. We have the Carolina
• 45:52
  pick. What's the game that we're about to get into, and you have
• 45:55
  your pick, so you could go for Caleb Williams and Marvin Harris and now
• 46:00
  you have DJ Moore as your second receiver, you have Cole Comet, and
• 46:04
  you have Arnell Mooney Man, Yeah, you have Darnell Mooney too, So
• 46:08
  it's like, okay, well you can just reboot and maybe Atlanta or a
• 46:13
  team somebody interested in justin field. You get more capital in if you have
• 46:16
  a good draft class, you could potentially go to go from being one of
• 46:21
  the worst teams, so maybe a subpar team, maybe wild card team.
• 46:25
  And yeah, like you were mentioning with Kirk Cousins, he was able to
• 46:30
  spread the ball around and there was some flashes with Jordan Addison, and I
• 46:35
  feel like this is only going to enhance his progression right here with Justin Jefferson
• 46:38
  out because he's going to have to be the number one receiver. I kind
• 46:44
  of disagree right now because Jordan Addison, I just feel like he's all his
• 46:50
  production. It's coming from like three catches, two catches, one touchdown,
• 46:54
  Like I want to see more. I want to see volume. I think
• 46:59
  this is kind of like the Gave Davis treatment right now that I'm getting that
• 47:01
  I'm giving Jordan Addison because like, sure like it looks like in the Blox
• 47:06
  score, oh, he did great, but he's not getting the volume.
• 47:08
  He's not getting like the complete target share. And I just want to see
• 47:12
  him up it a little bit more. IM sure, he's still a rookie,
• 47:15
  but he's the most talented receiver they have right now. That is healthy,
• 47:20
  don't so I don't want someone to take that out of context. So
• 47:22
  that is healthy. Jordan Addison, I just want to see more. I
• 47:25
  want to see more targets. I want to see what he does more with
• 47:29
  the ball in his hands. Yeah, I understand that, And I'm like,
• 47:35
  they're gonna have to start getting used because I went a totally different role.
• 47:39
  So he's average, like you said, he doesn't have much catches,
• 47:43
  but he is becoming a red zone threat for them. So every time they
• 47:47
  get close to the reddita the Jordanson, That's what I mean as far as
• 47:53
  he's not getting a volume right now. But I feel like these next few
• 47:57
  games, and especially if they're losing, why are you gonna reach Justin Jefferson
• 48:01
  back? Okay, well we progressed this young rookie right here and to be
• 48:07
  an potential number one receiver, and when Justin Jefferson back, you have somebody
• 48:12
  like I'm not saying Pooka Nakua, he's legit or he's like top ten,
• 48:17
  top fifteen, but you can have something like Cooper Cup and Pooka Nakua if
• 48:21
  that makes sense. Yeah, yeah, I get what you're saying for sure.
• 48:25
  It's just a I don't know, like the Vikings are in the games
• 48:30
  man, like they just need to pull it out. Last year they were,
• 48:34
  and they were they won by one possessions, and this year they're losing
• 48:37
  by one possession. It's just it's just kind of weird. The Vikings are
• 48:39
  in a weird cusp right now where they could go on a run or they
• 48:43
  can completely lose every single game. Yeah, but so as far as everything,
• 48:50
  it balances back out to normal. So all of those games that they
• 48:53
  were winning last year, I believe it was eleven twelve close games, it
• 48:57
  reverts back to normal. It's gonna get back to the median or potentially even
• 49:00
  less. You're gonna lose even more close games because it's just natural. You
• 49:06
  can't be doing that. It's unsustainable, Like you were saying, as far
• 49:08
  as with uh devon a chain, as far as his efficiency, it's something
• 49:13
  that it just doesn't happen on a consistent basis. And if that was the
• 49:17
  case, you'd see so many teams be great or be bad consistently, but
• 49:22
  that doesn't happen. It always rotates. Yeah, all right, let's go
• 49:25
  ahead and get into this next game. It was the Miami Dolphins versus the
• 49:30
  Carolina Panthers, in which the Panthers were up fourteen to zero and it looked
• 49:35
  like a potential upset in which the Dolphins they ended up taking care of business.
• 49:39
  Their offense exploded forty two to twenty one. What is your biggest takeaway
• 49:44
  from this game? I was when you texted me that they were up fortunes
• 49:47
  zero. I was like, I'd love to see it because the chiosing it
• 49:52
  takes some possession of the AFC. But it didn't turn out that way.
• 49:54
  The Dolphins that were the other way and scored like what like thirty something unanswered
• 50:00
  points. Yeah, but what I'd like to call this game is the Father
• 50:06
  Time game where Hee Moster is defying father time Father time right now with all
• 50:12
  the injuries he's had in his past two seventeen for one to fifteen, two
• 50:16
  touchdowns on the ground and three for seventeen in a touchdown through the air,
• 50:21
  He's like rejuvenating his career right now, at least for this season, and
• 50:25
  he's really balling right now, even with and with h H and out,
• 50:30
  it's just gonna. I think it's just gonna He's gonna keep the same pace
• 50:32
  barring injury, and then why call it the Father Time game? Is Adam
• 50:37
  thalen is doing has an insane pace to open up this season. He's like
• 50:44
  the lone bright spot for the Panthers right now. Eleven for one fifteen a
• 50:46
  touchdown. That's pretty cool. But all in all, the the Dolphins really
• 50:51
  dominate this game. Tyreek Hill is on pace for two thousand, three hundred
• 50:55
  and twelve yards on the season right now. I just want to put that
• 51:00
  out there for everybody. He went six for one to sixty three in a
• 51:02
  touchdown. He did leave the game early with a hamstring injury. I think
• 51:07
  it was what it looked like. That's what they're kind of staying on all
• 51:08
  the accounts. I just want to see where how they monitor that throughout the
• 51:12
  week. I think he still plays this week, but I just want to
• 51:14
  see if it kind of lingers him, lingers on him throughout the season.
• 51:17
  Yeah, no, so, I don't know if you saw it was it
• 51:22
  was late in the game. He ended up coming back and he ended up
• 51:24
  getting a twenty yard reception, so it looks like he should be fine.
• 51:30
  But him, those injuries are are pained with those with the players this year.
• 51:35
  Oh yeah, especially with as especially with him. As far as him
• 51:38
  being a speed receiver, that's something where it's explosive right there. But man,
• 51:43
  if only a team like the Chiefs they had a receiver like Tyreek kill
• 51:47
  Man, that would be something where they'd really be unstopable right there, right,
• 51:51
  Josh, he was a sacrificial lamb. You know, obviously we have
• 51:54
  the we have the number one deepens in the NFL right now because of Tyreek
• 51:59
  Hill, and we have through rules. So I'm just saying, get to
• 52:01
  whatever. Okay, Well yeah, no, fair, fair, but all
• 52:05
  right. Uh, As far as with Bryce Young and like like Alice texting
• 52:09
  you, texting you, it looked like Bryce Young to start off, he
• 52:14
  was showing flashes and that's something that I wanted to see. That's something that
• 52:17
  I wanted to see from last week as far as him just not even necessarily
• 52:22
  win the games, just show flashes that you're starting to pick up things.
• 52:27
  And I'm starting to see that Bryce Young, he's starting to get comfortable with
• 52:30
  it and he's starting to progress. So what do you think as far as
• 52:35
  what do you think is a realistic projection, as far as what Bryce Young
• 52:38
  could do as far as the rest of this season. I think with Bryce
• 52:45
  Young, we're seeing I tell people, hit the panic button. Hit the
• 52:49
  panic button, like they were trying to write him off already. Like dude,
• 52:52
  he's five games into his career and we're saying, oh, he's a
• 52:55
  bus you know, like you got to get this guy some time. He's
• 52:58
  he's a highs been winner. He's a number one overall pick for a reason.
• 53:02
  He looked good in his game. He he had no mistakes, no
• 53:06
  interceptions, twenty three for thirty eight, two seventeen in a touchdown, which
• 53:08
  is good. It's good. It's not great, it's all right. He
• 53:14
  does have some some like mess up sometimes where like we're in college, he
• 53:19
  was able to roll out the pocket, create opportunity for his receivers to get
• 53:23
  open, had a lot of time to sit back there, skin the field,
• 53:27
  throw the ball deep. In the NFL, you can't do that.
• 53:30
  You can't unless you're Mahomes or Josh Allen, where you run away, Lamar
• 53:35
  Jackson, run away. You have to you have to you have to make
• 53:37
  a decision to run the ball or throw it out of balance. You don't
• 53:43
  have time to wait where he'll take sacks then in those situations in the NFL
• 53:47
  Right now, I just want to see him improve on that, on his
• 53:50
  pocket awareness a little bit when he rolls out the pocket, his decision making.
• 53:52
  I want us to see it get a little bit better. But I
• 53:54
  think he can throw for a round maybe like thirty five hundred yards this year.
• 54:00
  I can see it. I can see that happening. I can see
• 54:01
  where he kind of picks it up a little bit throughout the season, gets
• 54:05
  a little bit more of his receivers involved. I feel like Adam Deeling's really
• 54:07
  good for his progression this year. Adam Feeling is a veteran. Adam Deeln
• 54:10
  has played with the many quarterbacks, and he knows how to get the best
• 54:15
  out of the quarterback. And I think that's what's helping bryceley on out right
• 54:16
  now. Yeah. No, that definitely helps, just having that safety blanket
• 54:21
  right there, And like you were saying, as far as from college and
• 54:25
  the pro, he just has to get used to that. And I feel
• 54:28
  like why people were hitting the panic bucket button. I'm not gonna lie.
• 54:31
  I was one of those people, but it's just nowadays with the quarterbacks.
• 54:37
  Now you have these seven on seven camps. You're playing football throughout the entire
• 54:43
  year, so you're not going to get that treatment that you got back in
• 54:46
  the two back in the two thousands, where you just played high school ball
• 54:50
  and you just played college ball. And now you're into the NFL. So
• 54:53
  now you should be progressing now with these seven on sevens. You should be
• 54:57
  learning how to read a defense at the age of twelve thirteen years old now,
• 55:01
  so now everything should be sped up so by the time during your rookie
• 55:06
  year, you should be able to do these things. Obviously getting comfortable and
• 55:09
  his only downside is his size, but as far as with his arm that
• 55:15
  he was showing in the game, his accuracy, even as poise, it's
• 55:20
  all there. It's just a matter of him just getting comfortable and obviously his
• 55:24
  team just getting better around him. Yeah, that's what made him a number
• 55:28
  one overall pick. Like he was a very poised person, very serious,
• 55:31
  very about his business, and I think I think he'll continue to progress or
• 55:36
  out the year. If people put hit the penning button on Payton Manning in
• 55:38
  his rookie year, or he threw like twenty six interceptions and broke the rookie
• 55:43
  record. I think I think they would be regretting it immensely, So let's
• 55:46
  just give him some time. Yeah, no, I definitely agree with you
• 55:51
  now after seeing that game. But all right, let's get into this next
• 55:54
  game. The Jacksonville Jaguars. They took care of business against the Indian now
• 56:00
  less Colts where Anthony Richardson did not play Gardner minshew uh. He ended up
• 56:05
  throwing the interception. Finally after a long time, they end up going in
• 56:08
  thirty seven to twenty. So what is your biggest takeaways from this game?
• 56:14
  Right here? Our biggest takeaway is Travis Etn is balling right now eighteen for
• 56:21
  fifty five, two touchdowns, three for twenty on the in the air.
• 56:23
  He's really establishing himself like as the go to guy in this offense. Sure,
• 56:29
  like the off the wide receiver weapons are there, the tight end is
• 56:32
  there, but Eten is really making this offense role. Trevor Lawrence isn't playing
• 56:37
  like how he like at a top tier right now. I want to see
• 56:40
  more from Trevor Lawrence. He's spraying the ball out, which is expected.
• 56:45
  Ridley kirk Ingram, you have to get your weapons involved, but two touchdowns
• 56:52
  an interception against the Colts, I want to see more, Like, I
• 56:54
  want to see this guy push the ball down the field and complete these passes.
• 57:00
  If you can't do it against the Colts, how do you expect to
• 57:04
  do it versus a really good teams. Sure they beat the Bills last week,
• 57:07
  but that was kind of a weird game by the Bills. They started
• 57:09
  off really slow. And as for the Colts, Gardner Minshould throwing the ball
• 57:15
  fifty five times is insane to me, Like, I don't know if you
• 57:20
  forgot that you had Zack Moss and Jonathan Taylor, but run the ball,
• 57:22
  dude. There's no reason Zach Moss should only have seven attempts and Johnathan Tator
• 57:27
  should only have eight attempts. I think they lost this game because they were
• 57:30
  forcing the ball down the field and then hurt Gardner Minshew quite a bit.
• 57:35
  Yeah. No, they're trying to get Gardner Minshew to do something that he's
• 57:37
  not capable of doing. He's a backup for a reason. And now what
• 57:43
  the Jaguars are going to have to worry about is. I believe Trevor Lawrence
• 57:47
  he had a knee brain As far as him not playing, I think he
• 57:52
  will still play as far as from all the reports that are coming out,
• 57:54
  but they said that's going to be something that's lingering on from the rest of
• 57:58
  the season. And they just have not looked good ever since that Buffalo Bill's
• 58:01
  game where they just really dominated the entire time. All those other games that
• 58:07
  they have played, they've looked very suspect and not the team that they looked
• 58:12
  like last year, like on third down four for fourteen and then as far
• 58:16
  as as far as just your yards per play three point eight. So it's
• 58:21
  not something that's a recipe for success, especially against the good teams. And
• 58:25
  now that I know, they have the Saints and they have the Steelers up
• 58:30
  next, which is very beatable or teams that you should beat. Then after
• 58:36
  that you have the Niners, the Titans, they always give a tough test,
• 58:38
  the Textans who are looking good. Then you have the Bengals, Then
• 58:42
  you have the Browns, Ravens, Buccaneers, so you have a tough part.
• 58:45
  It's not necessarily one of the toughest schedules in the league, but it's
• 58:50
  a tough schedule that you have coming up, and you better clean it up
• 58:53
  very quick or else you could have a team like the Colts. Even though
• 58:58
  they lost this game, they're three and three, The Texans are three and
• 59:00
  three, and the Titians with Mike Rable, you can't count them out.
• 59:04
  So it's kind of a sneaky division and they they need to pick it up
• 59:08
  soon. Mm hmmm. Where I think that knee spring may hurt is that
• 59:14
  te Law is a mobile quarterback. He relies on his mobility quite a bit.
• 59:16
  He's one of the it may not look like it, but he's one
• 59:20
  of the highest. Like a rush to tempt, he rushes the most.
• 59:24
  He rushes in the top five in the NFL for a quarterback like he kind
• 59:29
  of he needs his legs. So that's something I want to monitor. I
• 59:31
  want to see how this team is able to create big plays last plays with
• 59:37
  Tee Law kind of limited. And as for the Colts, with injuries,
• 59:42
  ar may not come back AR fifteen Anthony or AR five now Anthony Richardson may
• 59:46
  not may not return for the season. Jim Mersey, Colts owner, came
• 59:52
  out and said that he may get surgery and on that on that shoulder and
• 59:58
  may sideline on for the rest of the season. So so that might be
• 1:00:00
  a panic button move right there. So we'll see what happens with the Colts
• 1:00:05
  moving forward. I think this may be another year where they just kind of
• 1:00:07
  like play for a top pick. Yeah, and it could potentially be a
• 1:00:13
  blessing in disguise because you could end up having a better team around Anthony Richardson,
• 1:00:19
  in which you'd probably be competing in different areas. But like you mentioned,
• 1:00:22
  as far as with the knee spring, he also had if I wasn't
• 1:00:25
  mistaken against the Buffalo Bills, he had a calf injury and it's on the
• 1:00:30
  same leg, so I wonder how that's going to affect his mobility. And
• 1:00:35
  like you said, he's one of the most or he's a quarterback with one
• 1:00:38
  of the most rushing attempts, So that's really going to take a dynamic out
• 1:00:43
  of their offense. And their offensive line is not necessarily the best offensive line
• 1:00:47
  in the league, so it could get scary if Travis etn is not on
• 1:00:52
  and is not going off during that game. This is a a but what
• 1:01:00
  I think the Jaguars get helped out a lot is their defense is bawling right
• 1:01:02
  now. This is three straight games where they kind of like hold the offenses
• 1:01:06
  in check, and they played they've played the Bills where they cut them in
• 1:01:10
  check, the Colts this week, and then they had Atlanta. The Yeah,
• 1:01:15
  they had Atlanta in London three weeks ago, and they kind of they
• 1:01:20
  did really good against them. I get it, it's Desmond Ridder, but
• 1:01:22
  they still had a pick six, a couple of interceptions all that. And
• 1:01:27
  Josh Allen right now, I think is in the top three for defensive player
• 1:01:30
  of the year right now, the the linebacker people, not the quarterback.
• 1:01:37
  Josh Allen he has on so far on the season and he already has seven
• 1:01:40
  sacks. Seven sacks in six games, which is should be up there.
• 1:01:45
  It should be like top two in the NFL right now or something like that.
• 1:01:50
  I think he's he's established himself in a contract year as one of the
• 1:01:53
  best defensive players in the NFL. Hey, the way Josh Allen the quarterback
• 1:01:58
  is playing as of late, Hey he may get some defensive player of the
• 1:02:01
  year. Yeah. All the tackles he's making. Yeah, But all right,
• 1:02:07
  let's go in and get into this next game, which I don't know
• 1:02:10
  about you, Josh, But I thought this game was going to be a
• 1:02:13
  shootout the Seattle Seahawks and the Cincinnati Bengals, where the Bengals won seventeen to
• 1:02:19
  thirteen in a defensive game where Seattle they had plenty of opportunities to score in
• 1:02:23
  the red zone and they weren't able to cash in. What is your biggest
• 1:02:27
  takeaway from this game, Geno Smith? Geno Smith is my biggest takeaway from
• 1:02:31
  this game. Geno Smith was forcing footballs. We haven't seen him for us
• 1:02:36
  and since he was not the Geno Smith last year, Like he was throwing
• 1:02:42
  like into double coverage like Yolo balls, where he predicted where he already like
• 1:02:47
  at the I guess pre snap already predetermined where he was going to throw the
• 1:02:51
  football, and he just was forcing it like he was forcing into DK.
• 1:02:55
  He just didn't seem he just seemed out of stinct in this game. Kennas
• 1:02:59
  Walker still balld. You just got to you gotta be smarter than that.
• 1:03:04
  And if not, if he is smarter, they win this football game.
• 1:03:07
  Joe Burrow didn't play that good twenty four for thirty five to eighty five,
• 1:03:10
  two touchdowns, interception, and that was versus the thirty first ranked a defense
• 1:03:15
  against the past, Like, you need to do a little bit better.
• 1:03:19
  I'm not too convinced on the Bengals just yet. Joe Mixton fell for thirty
• 1:03:22
  eight, Jamar Chase six for eighty a little bit bright spot two back to
• 1:03:27
  back, Sam like, oh, well, the last be great game this
• 1:03:29
  week is semi good game, So yeah, I just want to see a
• 1:03:31
  little bit more. This was a really close game. Gino Smith kind of
• 1:03:36
  sold this one for me. Yeah. No, And I don't know if
• 1:03:42
  you kind of considered this a coaching era where both times late in the game
• 1:03:46
  where Seattle's defense was able to get the ball back where they don't take the
• 1:03:52
  field goal because the defense is playing so good and you could potentially just go
• 1:03:55
  for the game winning field goal and not necessarily having to put the ball in
• 1:03:59
  Gino Smith's hand. And yes, I know that Joe Burrow and this Bengals
• 1:04:04
  offense did not play good, but I think it's only good signs to come
• 1:04:09
  because their defense is playing really good right now, or at least these past
• 1:04:13
  few weeks they have been playing really good. So this offense, I'm still
• 1:04:17
  buying that the Cincinnati Bengals team will get it together, and look, they
• 1:04:25
  I know that their offense played terrible, but they still want. It's easier
• 1:04:29
  to learn in a win than learn in a loss. And they're three and
• 1:04:32
  three, So I know that the Ravens right now, they're four and two.
• 1:04:36
  But this division is clearly wide open, and I still think that they
• 1:04:43
  can win this division right here. So I think it's only good signs.
• 1:04:47
  And it's looking scary for the Chiefs because I know one team they just can't
• 1:04:51
  beat. I think it's the Bengals. Well, I don't know who won
• 1:04:56
  the Super Bowl last year, but I think it was the Kansas City Chiefs,
• 1:04:58
  So we'll just leave it. We'll just leave it that with that right
• 1:05:00
  there, all right, But what I saw in this game, Despoon played
• 1:05:05
  really good for the Seahawks. I think he's moving and making his way up
• 1:05:10
  for if he continues at this pace. Defensive Player of the Year for four
• 1:05:14
  solo tackles, three passes deflected, and he held when he was on jamar
• 1:05:18
  Ches held mar Chase's zero catches. Yeah, No, he's he's nice.
• 1:05:24
  I like we were talking about last week as far as with Jalen Carter,
• 1:05:28
  potentially being Defensive Rookie of the Year. I think that now if he just
• 1:05:32
  keeps continuing this because I feel like the defensive line, Yeah, he's a
• 1:05:39
  game changer, and I feel like the defensive line. If a defensive lineman
• 1:05:42
  is gonna win Defensive Rookie of the Year, you have to have those sacks.
• 1:05:45
  And he is more of a defensive tackle, so he's not gonna get
• 1:05:48
  those stats necessarily. Where Devon Witherspoon he's gonna get those stats. So I
• 1:05:54
  think he's gonna end up or even right now, I'm confident saying this that
• 1:05:59
  he's the for Defensive Rookie of the Year. But all right, let's go
• 1:06:06
  and get into this next game right here. The Washington Commanders beat the Atlanta
• 1:06:12
  Falcons twenty four to sixteen, in which the Falcons again had plenty of opportunities
• 1:06:18
  to tie the game, but they just couldn't cash in. What's your biggest
• 1:06:24
  takeaway from this game? Uh? It was. It was an ugly game
• 1:06:29
  by both teams. I'm not gonna lie like the the Falcons looked like they
• 1:06:33
  were moving the ball, look like they were pushing the field. They got
• 1:06:35
  Jake Lennon involved, they got Kyle Pitts involved it just like Desmond Ritter just
• 1:06:41
  isn't the guy I think that's going to make this team a playoff of strong
• 1:06:45
  playoff contender, because like he just kind of forces the football like he's kind
• 1:06:50
  of in act, he's really inaccurate. He threw three interceptions and like two
• 1:06:55
  in moments where they could have came back and won the game or tied the
• 1:06:59
  game. And that's so the other side. Sam Howe fourteen twenty three,
• 1:07:02
  one fifty one and three touchdowns. One of those touchdowns came off of interception.
• 1:07:06
  Came off of a strong interception I believe where they returned it to the
• 1:07:11
  red zone, dropped it off to be rob you know, he got it
• 1:07:15
  into the end zone. And that's for the scary Terry six forty one and
• 1:07:18
  Curtis Samuel continues to kind of like have a good year for for forty two
• 1:07:23
  and a touchdown got him involved a little bit on the in the run game.
• 1:07:26
  So yeah, it was kind of like an okay game of both teams
• 1:07:30
  didn't look too great. Uh, the Falcons just kind of sold it away
• 1:07:34
  with their toneovers in Desmond Ritters' case, and then Sam how looked alright again.
• 1:07:43
  Yeah, and Sam how he did what he needed to do to win,
• 1:07:45
  and they bounced back after losing to the Bears in embarrassing fashion. But
• 1:07:51
  all I just want to say first is just shout out to Arthur Smith for
• 1:07:55
  finally using Drake London and Kyle Pitts two weeks in a row. I don't
• 1:07:59
  know, Yeah, it finally took them two years to realize, Okay,
• 1:08:01
  well we have skill position players who are pretty good. Maybe we should try
• 1:08:06
  to use them. I know they still lost, but if it wasn't for
• 1:08:11
  those Desmond ridd Or interceptions right there, I believe two of them were in
• 1:08:15
  the red zone if I'm correct, Yeah, and those are desertors, like
• 1:08:18
  if they were ugly interceptions, day Yeah, clear as day. And if
• 1:08:23
  you just say, all right, well they kicked the field goal, it
• 1:08:26
  could be twenty two to twenty four. And that's a whole different ballgame right
• 1:08:29
  there. And they just need a quarterback, not necessarily that it's going to
• 1:08:33
  be a top ten caliber But maybe I'm really loving this destination for justin fields
• 1:08:41
  right here, as far as just all the talent that's surrounding them, and
• 1:08:45
  they should be in the running or front runners to get Justin fields and no
• 1:08:50
  matter how much it takes, because both of them they're ready to win.
• 1:08:55
  And there's plenty of talent on this team. Yeah, they have a good
• 1:08:59
  offensive line, strong running game, strong receivers, good tight end, good
• 1:09:03
  defense. Like they're a good football team. They just need that quarterback to
• 1:09:08
  put them over the top. You know, they're a good young team.
• 1:09:11
  And uh yeah, so we'll just see how it plays out. If they
• 1:09:15
  go trade for a quarterback, if they draft a quarterback. I just want
• 1:09:18
  to see what happens with this team. Yeah, all right, let's go
• 1:09:23
  ahead and get into the first Sunday game. It was an international game.
• 1:09:28
  It was the Baltimore Ravens beating the Tennessee Titans twenty four to sixteen, in
• 1:09:33
  which Lamar Jackson at least, at least in my eyes, I think he
• 1:09:36
  looked very impressive in this game. And shout out to Justin Tucker for potentially
• 1:09:42
  winning some fantasy football leagues because six yeah, nineteen points, which is ridiculous.
• 1:09:48
  But oh, what did you take away from this game? Lamar Jackson
• 1:09:55
  continues to impress. He's had a lot of people kind of down on him,
• 1:10:00
  but he's actually doing really good this year twenty one for thirty two,
• 1:10:02
  twenty three touchdown intercession. But on the ground he just did with Lamar Jackson
• 1:10:06
  does thirteen for sixty two. He was actually really close to scoring two times
• 1:10:11
  with his legs, and there was one where he kind of got tripped up
• 1:10:14
  a little bit and there was clear as day and open paths to the end
• 1:10:15
  zone with his legs, Like, so this game could have got out of
• 1:10:18
  hand pretty quick if he catches those in and uh, you know, I
• 1:10:23
  just want to see more from these Ravens pass catchers, dude, Like,
• 1:10:27
  outside of Jay Flowers and Mark Andrews, Odell Beckham was supposed to do something.
• 1:10:30
  Rashaud Bateman should have been a strong three. He's not showing up.
• 1:10:33
  Devin DuVernay like Nelson Aguilar like has one catch a game, Like I want
• 1:10:40
  to see somebody step up and I'll take the pressure off Zay Flowers of Mark
• 1:10:43
  Andrews because that's of right now, of teams centering on them, they're gonna
• 1:10:45
  be kind of figured out, especially when they play good defenses. And Lamar
• 1:10:49
  Jackson's gonna have to take over with his legs and that's go ahead, Oh
• 1:10:55
  you continue, that's my thoughts on the Ravens right now. We can get
• 1:10:57
  into the Titans a little bit after your thoughts. All right, well,
• 1:11:01
  Lamar Jackson after these games right here, I know he's had some slip ups,
• 1:11:06
  but I think right now he should be a top three at least top
• 1:11:12
  three MVP candidate. And I feel like, like I I was saying with
• 1:11:16
  the Bengals, I just feel like this offense is going to be able to
• 1:11:19
  figure it out. And I think this Ravens defense is even better than,
• 1:11:24
  or is a notch above that Bengals Bengals off or defense. And if you
• 1:11:30
  ask me who I trust more, this is I guess this is kind of
• 1:11:32
  a hot take here. I trust Lamar Jackson a little bit more than Joe
• 1:11:36
  Burrow to get things done even in the that's a little that's a bold taker
• 1:11:42
  right there. Yeah. Yeah. I just think that just these playoff games
• 1:11:47
  that he's been in, it hasn't really shown how good of a quarterback he
• 1:11:53
  is, and he wasn't as developed as a passer. And I think that
• 1:11:56
  we get so caught up, especially this year, with o Lamar Jackson,
• 1:12:01
  his agility, his speed, him able to get out outside of the pocket,
• 1:12:05
  nobody's really taking time and credit him as far as how he's developed as
• 1:12:10
  a passer. Ye, go ahead, Oh sorry, but I just want
• 1:12:15
  to add when he won MVP, he let the NFL in passing touchdowns.
• 1:12:20
  Yeah, and he did that without being necessarily a good thrower of the football.
• 1:12:26
  And now that he's a good thrower of the football, he's he's gonna
• 1:12:30
  be making some throws that he wasn't making back then. And I think you
• 1:12:33
  have Zay Flowers, He's only going to get better down the stretch because he's
• 1:12:38
  a rookie. Mark Andrews, he is reliable, and I think Odell,
• 1:12:42
  remember he didn't play all last year, so he's kind of getting in that
• 1:12:46
  rhythm still. And it's only six games in, and I think that he's
• 1:12:50
  going to only be better. Rashad Bateman has to be better. So you
• 1:12:56
  and you don't necessarily need You don't need the them to have forty fifty yards
• 1:13:02
  each. You just need one big play out of Nelson Aguilar, Oldell Belckholm
• 1:13:08
  or Rashad Bateman. Just one of those three and it's gonna end up changing
• 1:13:12
  the ballgame. But what do you think about the Titans right here? Who
• 1:13:15
  followed the two and four. I want to add in my last take on
• 1:13:18
  the Ravens, I just that I just can't pop into my to pop into
• 1:13:21
  my mind. I think also with the running game, they can't just rely
• 1:13:25
  on Lamar Jackson. They need to establish a dominant runner like Gus Edwards and
• 1:13:30
  Justice Hill. It's just the same train that we've been on with the Ravens
• 1:13:32
  for the past three years already. Why can't they find an established running back.
• 1:13:36
  I just need them to find one so this office can get clicking more
• 1:13:41
  consistently because there's in and out stuff kind of derails the momentum sometimes, I
• 1:13:45
  think, and I just think they need to find that right now. But
• 1:13:48
  after the Titans, well we asked for it last week. When are we
• 1:13:55
  gonna see a changing of the guard And we might have seen it with Ryan
• 1:13:58
  sel leaving with what it looks to me maybe a high ankle spring an ankle
• 1:14:01
  sprain. I don't know if it's going to be a high ankle sprain.
• 1:14:03
  I haven't I haven't really paid too much attention to reports on it right now.
• 1:14:08
  I mean, it's the Titans. They're not really like on my mind
• 1:14:10
  right to like look, but yeah, so I we saw Ryan Tannhill play
• 1:14:15
  like Ryan Tannhill eight for sixteen, seventy six yards, an interception. Milique
• 1:14:18
  Willis came in, he made some good throws, he got out the pocket
• 1:14:21
  a little bit, but he also took some ugly sacks. Man. There
• 1:14:25
  was like I believe in the like at the red zone or like within the
• 1:14:28
  thirty thirty to go they he took four sacks where like he could have ran
• 1:14:33
  out the pocket, threw it away, hit a receiver like he just kind
• 1:14:36
  of held onto the ball and it kind of really made the Titans lose this
• 1:14:41
  football game where they could have like had a quick a quick touchdown on side
• 1:14:45
  kick Fi'll go. I'm not saying they win the game, but it puts
• 1:14:47
  them in a better position if he doesn't take those sacks. And then as
• 1:14:50
  for Derrick Henry, he kind of he looked good to he looked good.
• 1:14:54
  Twelve for ninety seven two and two catches for sixteen yards plus a touchdown on
• 1:14:59
  the ground. He looked, he looked good. He had some big plays
• 1:15:02
  there was. I thought it was kind of weird that in that final like
• 1:15:05
  two minute dril that the the times are running. They had TODs A Spears
• 1:15:10
  in the whole time, even when they got in within three yards, like
• 1:15:13
  why don't you put in Dereck Henry and just punched it in real quick.
• 1:15:15
  They were just kind of trying to do something like little rpo swing out swing
• 1:15:18
  out plays manufactured run for Milik Willis, Like, I just want to see
• 1:15:25
  them use Derrick Henry to where Derek Henry is the strongest, and that's between
• 1:15:29
  the tackles short yard. It's time I get Tozzi Spears is the big play
• 1:15:32
  guy. Derrick Henry is the ground and pound. That's that's what the roles
• 1:15:36
  should be, especially during in that moment. And as for the past catchers,
• 1:15:41
  bro there's literally none. Nick Westbrook a Kine two for twenty five and
• 1:15:45
  then DeAndre Hopkins the measly won for twenty yards. Yeah. No, it's
• 1:15:53
  this team, like we were saying last week, this is a good football
• 1:15:56
  team. But after seeing this game, because the Ravens, like you were
• 1:16:00
  saying this, this score really didn't reflect how bad this game was and the
• 1:16:05
  Ravens they could have won this game if they cashed in. It could have
• 1:16:10
  been forty to sixteen or or maybe even more. And I think especially with
• 1:16:16
  Ryan Tannehill going out and I just looked at it. He's gonna miss several
• 1:16:19
  weeks. So Malik Willis or potentially Will Levis, they're gonna have to be
• 1:16:25
  playing some games. And I don't think you're gonna be winning any of these
• 1:16:28
  games coming up because you have the Falcons who are decent, the Steelers,
• 1:16:31
  Buccaneers, and Jaguars, so these aren't going to be Maybe you could win
• 1:16:38
  these games just off of running the ball in defense, but you could only
• 1:16:44
  rely on Derrick Henry so much. And yeah, that's yes, I know
• 1:16:51
  that's why Taj Spears. He's there, but he isn't as effective as a
• 1:16:56
  runner as Derrick Henry. He has some pop plays, but he's more of
• 1:17:00
  the change of paceback. And I think that it should I think it's time.
• 1:17:04
  It's time to it's time to rebuild the Tennessee Titans. After seeing this
• 1:17:09
  game, you could potentially trade Derrick Henry. Well, he still has value
• 1:17:14
  for maybe I'm not saying a first round pick because I know running backs they
• 1:17:17
  don't or four, yeah, something like that, a third or fourth maybe
• 1:17:24
  potent or a ship in d hot potentially somewhere to contender and just maybe some
• 1:17:30
  defensive pieces, because you have some good pieces on defense that you could trade
• 1:17:32
  away and just rebuild because you had a point where you're too good to be
• 1:17:38
  bad, but too bad to be good. Mm hmm. Yeah. Like
• 1:17:44
  I think it's weird with the Titans, man, Like there is for a
• 1:17:45
  second there they had the most wins in the NFL outside the Kansas City Chiefs.
• 1:17:50
  Did you that's a crazy stat that you don't think of. That is
• 1:17:54
  a crazy stat. Yeah, But ever since last year they've just been on
• 1:17:58
  this downward spiral and like it's just hitting them hard right now, Like they're
• 1:18:01
  a weird team. Like Jeffrey Simmons is there on the line, and then
• 1:18:06
  the d line is nice, maybe the linebackers, but then the dbs they're
• 1:18:11
  non existent. Kevin Byerd, I don't know where he's been, Like I
• 1:18:15
  said last week, I don't know where he has been. And then and
• 1:18:17
  then with this and then with these receivers. Traylon Burke's look has shown splash
• 1:18:23
  plays, splash days, but he can't stay on the field. You cannot
• 1:18:27
  stay on the field, So we haven't really seen a real like workload from
• 1:18:30
  him. Deandreipkins, he said he wanted to play for a winner, and
• 1:18:33
  he signed with the Titans. He's kind of doing this to himself, so
• 1:18:36
  I would I wouldn't be mad at seeing him right away here on the Tennessee
• 1:18:40
  Titans. And then they just they just really don't have anything like they just
• 1:18:45
  then nothing, nothing to get excited for. Dang, well, you kind
• 1:18:49
  of sound a little salty right there. I do sound salty because he could
• 1:18:54
  have signed with us and he would be we would be fine. Well,
• 1:18:58
  all right, speak speaking of the Chiefs. The Chiefs they end up beating
• 1:19:03
  the Broncos in a nineteen to eight ball game. You're the Chiefs fan here,
• 1:19:09
  so I'm gonna go ahead and let you just get into this. What
• 1:19:12
  do you think about this game right here? Another defensive domination game. I
• 1:19:15
  think we're only averaging thirteen points per game allowed on the season right now,
• 1:19:20
  which is something that I am so happy of because I've been waiting for four
• 1:19:26
  years for this defense to come through, and they're coming through. Thank you,
• 1:19:29
  Tyreek Hill the sacrificial lamb for this. We got George car Laftis Trip
• 1:19:31
  McDuffie from him. So yeah, it's just been really good. The offense,
• 1:19:36
  bro needs to click a little bit more the outside of Pachecko and Kelsey.
• 1:19:43
  Pachecko's dominating the ground game right now. He's looking really good. He's
• 1:19:46
  establishing something that we haven't had in a couple of years, and that's a
• 1:19:50
  solid running back to compliment Patrick Mahomes since maybe Kurreem Hunt honestly, and he
• 1:19:56
  just kind of got himself in trouble and that's why he's not on our team
• 1:19:59
  right now. So Isaiah Pacheco is establishing himself. Travis Kelceys Travis Kelcey nine
• 1:20:03
  for one twenty four. But what I want to see is the receivers get
• 1:20:06
  open. Man Like, there's a lot of hype in training camp with Sky
• 1:20:10
  Moore possibly making a big jump. He hasn't MBS looking good. But Rashi
• 1:20:15
  Rice is playing good. Rashie Rice is coming through for this football team.
• 1:20:19
  He's the only receiver that I'm actually like, yeah, Like he's coming through
• 1:20:24
  and he's the rookie on the team. He had four for four and seventy
• 1:20:27
  two yards, and what we saw from him was really explosive plays. He's
• 1:20:30
  able with his his he's a he's a he's a contested catch guy coming out
• 1:20:34
  that it's coming into the draft, but that's probably because he was and he
• 1:20:39
  kind of fell a little bit because he was dealing with injuries last year at
• 1:20:43
  SMU, so like people were kind of worried about his burst. But when
• 1:20:46
  you see him catch that football, he can turn it into twenty yards twenty
• 1:20:50
  five yards from a two yard catch, like he did that twice. And
• 1:20:56
  versus in this game versus the Broncos where he had a little like screenplay and
• 1:20:59
  he turned it in where it was like a third and nineteen and got made
• 1:21:01
  it a fourth and one. Then there was a play where it was like
• 1:21:03
  third and four. They hit him in the middle of the field, he
• 1:21:08
  turned around, took it for twenty eight yards. Like he is a big
• 1:21:10
  play way and to happen. I'm just excited to see where these next couple
• 1:21:14
  of weeks takes him because we have a fairly easy schedule coming up with the
• 1:21:18
  Broncos and Dolphins, or with the Chargers, Broncos then Dolphins. They're really
• 1:21:23
  lenient to the past. So I can't wait to see what he can do.
• 1:21:27
  And as for our defense, dude, like our defense is playing shutout
• 1:21:30
  football right now. If it wasn't for Courtland Sutton being an absolute dog and
• 1:21:33
  wasting away on the Broncos. Right now, with that one handed grab,
• 1:21:36
  this would be a nineteen to zero football game. Yeah. So as far
• 1:21:42
  as I'm going to get into the offense in a second, but as far
• 1:21:45
  as with this defense, I'm not necessarily necessarily saying they're not having a good
• 1:21:49
  year. But as far as the teams they have played. You've played the
• 1:21:55
  Lions, which good offense. Yes, I'll give you credit for that one.
• 1:21:58
  Then the Jaguars who've been looked who've looked up and down this entire year,
• 1:22:02
  Then the Bears, then the Jets, then the Vikings, and now
• 1:22:06
  the Broncos. Do you think it's necessarily as far as the opponent or this
• 1:22:11
  defense has actually stepped up and put themselves into a tier of potentially a top
• 1:22:16
  five defense, I think they have put them a non bias aside, if
• 1:22:21
  you hold your teams, your teams that you played to an aurage of thirteen
• 1:22:25
  points in the NFL, you're doing something right. They they've still played the
• 1:22:30
  Vikings, the Vikings still are a high scoring team. At that time with
• 1:22:33
  Justin Jeffers and all them, they just couldn't stop people from scoring, so
• 1:22:38
  they were still they the Chiefs held up and check with to only allowing them
• 1:22:42
  to score twenty points and then the Jaguars still had the Jaguars in that game.
• 1:22:47
  The Chiefs played it perfectly. They covered the boundaries. The Jaguars really
• 1:22:53
  had three touchdowns in that game. But what the Chiefs did is they forced
• 1:22:58
  Trevor Lawrence to either hit this complete sideline of the end zone or the complete
• 1:23:02
  back of the end zone where they could force the receivers out and eliminate space
• 1:23:06
  for them to get their feet down, which is great play by la Jerioustine
• 1:23:10
  and Trim McDuffie, who has been falling this year. And Trim McDuffie has
• 1:23:14
  looked like a top corner in the NFL right now pro Football Focus. He's
• 1:23:16
  the number one rated corner as of last week. He rose he might be
• 1:23:20
  top three right now. But he has forced three forced fumbles on the season
• 1:23:25
  and he's only allowed like one catch per game. That's insane. And he
• 1:23:30
  covers all fasts of the field. He blfted the quarterback, he hits the
• 1:23:32
  quarterback. He's something somebody that's game changing for our defense right now, and
• 1:23:39
  we've been without Nick Botlin the last two games, who has been top three
• 1:23:43
  tackles over the last three years. And then and we've been rolling with Drew
• 1:23:47
  Tranquil, who has been looked like a splash signing on defense from this offseason.
• 1:23:54
  And we still get Charles and Mini who back who we signed from the
• 1:23:56
  forty nine ers off the six games suspension. So I think we're only going
• 1:23:59
  to get better next week, right Yeah, Chargers that's gonna be scary.
• 1:24:03
  And Chris Jones to stack every game this season, so there's just too much
• 1:24:09
  harmbo Right now, I'm excited. I'm excited. I could tell. I
• 1:24:13
  could tell you're very excited. But after, like you said, you have
• 1:24:17
  the the Chargers and then you have the Broncos. We're gonna see there's gonna
• 1:24:21
  be a few tests where the Chiefs is gonna show how good of a defense
• 1:24:27
  they really are. Because you have the Dolphins against in Germany. I believe
• 1:24:33
  Arrowhead that should have been at Arrowhead. With Tyreek Hill coming back, that
• 1:24:38
  should have been at Arrowhead. Yeah, honestly, they they should have,
• 1:24:42
  but but who knows. Then you have the Bills and then you have once
• 1:24:46
  again Burrowhead versus the Chiefs. Yeah, it's Sunday late, but no,
• 1:24:53
  we're gonna see so so far this defense has been playing if you want to
• 1:24:58
  go statistics or not. At worst, they are a top ten defense in
• 1:25:01
  my opinion, I think they're five or six, just on that fringe right
• 1:25:04
  there. The only reason I don't have them top three is because, yes,
• 1:25:09
  they have plenty of good pieces there, but they just don't have that.
• 1:25:14
  Yes they have Chris Jones, but I'm talking about as far as somebody
• 1:25:17
  in the secondary where it's like, yes, there's Trent McDuffie, you have
• 1:25:21
  him right there, But I just need to see a little bit more or
• 1:25:27
  more consistent on a consistent basis. If that makes sense, Just keep proving
• 1:25:31
  it on a week to week basis and then you'll become a star. But
• 1:25:34
  I want to get into this offense. So this Chiefs offense right here.
• 1:25:43
  I know I said last week, if the biggest concern is Patrick Mahomes leading
• 1:25:47
  this offense, then it shouldn't be a problem. But at some point,
• 1:25:51
  you're the way you play in the regular season is going to be a pattern
• 1:25:56
  of how you're playing in the postseason. And if this defense could can't sustain
• 1:26:00
  this, yes, it's perfectly fine, but I just want to read you
• 1:26:03
  some stats a blind reveal here. So this first person I'm going to read
• 1:26:08
  you they have twelve touchdowns, four interceptions, a ninety nine passer rating,
• 1:26:13
  and their defensive points per game is worse than the NFL. And this this
• 1:26:17
  other quarterback has eleven touchdowns, five interceptions, ninety five point seven passer rating,
• 1:26:24
  which is still pretty good. And then a defense who's who's second in
• 1:26:28
  points per game allowed in the NFL. That first quarterback was Russell Wilson pack
• 1:26:34
  Mahomes. Yeah, and I just think that this offense, like I know,
• 1:26:40
  all jokes asideals, as far as I was saying with Tyreek Hill,
• 1:26:44
  they just need another wide receiver to step up on a consistent basis. And
• 1:26:47
  Rashid Rice he did show flashes, but he needs to do that on a
• 1:26:53
  consistent basis if it's going to be him, in order for this team to
• 1:26:58
  be scoring thirty points, because eventually your defense is not gonna hold a team
• 1:27:03
  under twenty four points. You're gonna get in the shootout maybe two or three
• 1:27:06
  times a year, maybe even in the postseason, so you're gonna need to
• 1:27:12
  score points. And it's not necessarily a concern. If I had a rat
• 1:27:15
  on the scale of one to ten, maybe a three or four. I
• 1:27:19
  still think, like I was saying with the Bengals, they should be able
• 1:27:23
  to get this together. But it is kind of getting a little bit concerning
• 1:27:27
  because it is already week six, It's already October or mid October, so
• 1:27:31
  you should kind of be getting on your stride. What I do agree that
• 1:27:39
  our receivers duty a step up is something that I've really been like harping on
• 1:27:44
  is because sky Moore isn't showing up. Justin Watson just went down with injury,
• 1:27:48
  and then yeah, NBS, and then why am I going Blake?
• 1:27:54
  Richie James is her? All of them, they're not really game changing players.
• 1:27:57
  I think Rashie Rice can turn into that. Have really high hopes for
• 1:28:00
  him. He has been our most consistent receiver. He's second in the team
• 1:28:04
  in catches behind Travis Kelce, second and the team in target so he's only
• 1:28:08
  going up and then I think what we need to do is get Justin and
• 1:28:12
  Ross a little bit more involved. People forget Justin and Ross was probably the
• 1:28:15
  highest touded prospect before he got sick in college with that back disease and then
• 1:28:20
  injured his foot the next year. So I want to see you get him
• 1:28:24
  a little bit more involved. Maybe he could be a little bit of a
• 1:28:27
  game changer. I'm not saying he's going to freaking go off and become this
• 1:28:30
  dynamite player, but maybe he could be a more of a consistent piece who's
• 1:28:33
  he has a really good catch radius, he's really good at route running for
• 1:28:38
  his size, and he can play the high ball, which is something NVS
• 1:28:41
  can't do at the same size. So I want to see him get involved
• 1:28:44
  more. Maybe he could help us out a little bit, or make a
• 1:28:46
  trade before the trade deadline. That's what it's looking like right now. So
• 1:28:50
  yeah, I'm not disagreeing with you. So okay, well, well yeah,
• 1:28:55
  I know, maybe like you were saying, as far as with the
• 1:28:58
  trade deadline, maybe I know you're a little bit salty about d Hop,
• 1:29:00
  but maybe trading Ford Hop or Kendrick Bourne, like you were saying, just
• 1:29:04
  yeah, I think Kendrick Bourdon could be a good little light piece. Yeah,
• 1:29:10
  no, that that that would be a good piece because obviously you still
• 1:29:13
  have Travis Kelce there, so you don't necessarily need a number one number one
• 1:29:17
  receiver. You just need somebody who can get open on one on ones sixty
• 1:29:24
  seventy percent of the time, which would open up the offense so much and
• 1:29:27
  make skymore mvs and make Rashid Rice look so much better. All right,
• 1:29:34
  now that we're done with the Week six games, we're gonna go ahead and
• 1:29:40
  go into the Week seven predictions. So last week, after after counting it
• 1:29:45
  up, Josh, you ended up you ended up with more wins than me.
• 1:29:49
  I guess will kind of count a tally as far as who has the
• 1:29:54
  most most right at the end of the season. So you're up one to
• 1:29:58
  zero as far as this week. So all right, we're gonna start with
• 1:30:01
  the Thursday night football games, the Jacksonville Jaguars at the New Orleans Saints.
• 1:30:09
  Who do you got in this one? Man? This is a good game.
• 1:30:12
  I think this is going to be a good game. Let me think,
• 1:30:14
  let me think, crap man, give me you go first. You
• 1:30:20
  go first. Let me think if you have if you know who you're picking
• 1:30:24
  right now, you go first. All right, Yeah, no, I
• 1:30:26
  know who I'm picking. I think that the New Orleans Saints they bounce back
• 1:30:30
  from this game, and especially with Trevor Lawrence's injury being up in the air
• 1:30:35
  and they're at home. You get home cooking. So yeah, no,
• 1:30:39
  give me New Orleans to win this game. Yeah, I'm gonna take New
• 1:30:43
  Orleans. Also, I think I want to see Chris a lot. They
• 1:30:45
  get involved a little bit more, and I think they won this game.
• 1:30:48
  Their defense. Also may harp may really like pressure Trevor Lawrence a lot.
• 1:30:55
  Oh yeah, and especially now with his mobility possibly possible being gone, then
• 1:31:00
  that's another factor. But all right, the twelve o'clock games, we have
• 1:31:04
  the Cleveland Browns at the Indianapolis Colts. Cleveland Brown. Oh, Cleveland Brown's
• 1:31:10
  easy, not easy, but Brown win win. Yeah, no, give
• 1:31:15
  me the Browns too. Defense looks legit as far as now. Next,
• 1:31:19
  we have the Buffalo Bills at the New England Patriots. Oh, give me
• 1:31:26
  the Buffalo Bills. I don't think they lose. I think the Patriots lose
• 1:31:30
  another one, which is crazy. Yeah, no, give me the New
• 1:31:33
  Ink. I'm just kidding. Not give me the little Bills this. I
• 1:31:38
  am not picking the Patriots again. I will not trust them until they actually
• 1:31:43
  have a good offense. So yeah, give me the Bills, all right.
• 1:31:45
  Next, game. Kind of a sneaky game right here, the Washington
• 1:31:49
  Commanders at the New York Giants. Who do you have in this one?
• 1:31:55
  Oh? Give me the Giants in this one. I'll take the Giants.
• 1:31:58
  I think Saquon Barkley has a big day. Yeah, this is tough right
• 1:32:02
  here because Tyrod Taylor look good. But uh, just give me the Commanders.
• 1:32:08
  Uh. I think that they should win this game, so I'm going
• 1:32:11
  to pick them because they should. But all right, this twelve o'clock game
• 1:32:15
  is it's gonna be very fun watching this game. It's the Detroit Lions at
• 1:32:19
  the Baltimore Ravens five and one versus four and two. Who do you have
• 1:32:23
  in this one? Give me my I'm not gonna say my, but my,
• 1:32:29
  my sleeper, my everything that I harp on as like that they were
• 1:32:33
  gonna be good, and they are good. The Detroit Lions. The Detroit
• 1:32:36
  Lions keep it rolling and go six and one, lead the lead the NFC.
• 1:32:42
  All right, Well, like how you're saying the Lions were your dark
• 1:32:45
  horse, Well, I think the Ravens are my dark horse super Bowl team.
• 1:32:49
  So give me. Give me the Baltimore Ravens. Right here, he's
• 1:32:53
  gonna make a MVP statement, and like I was saying, I trust him
• 1:32:57
  more than majority of the other quarterbacks in the league. And I definitely trust
• 1:33:00
  him more than Jared Goff. Game. Yeah, no, it's gonna be
• 1:33:04
  definitely a very good game. And I know that game was good. But
• 1:33:10
  this next game right here, it's gonna be the Las Vegas Raiders at the
• 1:33:14
  Chicago Bears without Justin Filts. Who do you having this one? Uh?
• 1:33:18
  Well, the fact that shows the Raiders and my eliminator challenge already on ESPN,
• 1:33:24
  I'm gonna take the Raiders. Yeah, no, give me the Raiders
• 1:33:29
  two, especially if Justin Field isn't playing. Even if he did play,
• 1:33:32
  I don't even think they would. The Raiders going four and three would piss
• 1:33:36
  me off. But yeah, it has to happen. It has top Yeah,
• 1:33:41
  no, it just sounds nasty the Raiders going four and three. But
• 1:33:45
  all right, next game, this is a divisional game right here, that
• 1:33:48
  Atlanta Falcons at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Who do you have in this one?
• 1:33:54
  Ah? Man? Man, okay versus three and two? I know
• 1:34:00
  I speak games. Desmond Ritter needs to like show play limit the turnovers?
• 1:34:08
  Man, Ah, I think give me the Buccaneers. I think Mike Evans
• 1:34:15
  bounces back pretty good in this game. He had a couple of drops,
• 1:34:17
  uh, ten targets, four catches. I think he bounces back in this
• 1:34:20
  game a little bit. And Baker bounces back, So give me the Buccaneers.
• 1:34:25
  Yeah, no, I agree with everything you say. Uh, Desmond
• 1:34:29
  Rider. I feel like he's gonna turn over the ball again another one two
• 1:34:31
  times, So yeah, give me the Buccaneers. And all right, the
• 1:34:34
  three o'clock games we have here. It is Pittsburgh Steelers off of a bye
• 1:34:40
  against the Los Angeles Rams. Who do you have in this one? The
• 1:34:45
  Los Angeles Rams. I take the Rams to win this game. Who I
• 1:34:51
  feel like? That's man, I'm I'm not betting against Mike Tomlin and a
• 1:34:56
  bye or after a bye week. Yeah, you know, the Pittsburgh Star
• 1:35:00
  to win this Well, what was it the weirdest that Ben Roethlisberger never lost
• 1:35:05
  a game when a fast in Furious came out or something like that, or
• 1:35:10
  like a New Star Wars movie or something something like that, like that,
• 1:35:15
  those those weird Lebron's that Yeah, no, uh yeah, now give me
• 1:35:21
  the stiller Is to win this game. Right here. Next game, it's
• 1:35:26
  a bang another three o'clock game. It's for the Arizona Cardinals. I guess
• 1:35:30
  they're getting love. But the Cardinals against the Seattle Seahawks in Seattle. Who
• 1:35:35
  do you have in this one? Seahawks have a bounce back game. Seahawks
• 1:35:41
  have a bounce back game. I agree everything you say. Arizona Cardinals.
• 1:35:45
  I feel like it's going to be a close game, but Seahawks should pull
• 1:35:50
  through. And all right, the three twenty five games, it's the Green
• 1:35:56
  Bay Packers at the Denver Broncos. Who do you have in this one?
• 1:36:00
  Green Bay Packers. I think Jordan Love and Christian Watson get cooking. Luke
• 1:36:04
  Musgraves returns at another week off that concussion, So give me the give me
• 1:36:13
  the Green Bay Packers. Yeah, give me the Green Bay Packers too.
• 1:36:17
  All right, then we have the other three to twenty five game, the
• 1:36:21
  last one of the day, it's the Los Angeles Chargers against the Kansas City
• 1:36:27
  Chiefs in Burrow or Arrowhead my bed kind of okay, all right, you
• 1:36:34
  got in this one. I don't know. I was kidding. The Chiefs.
• 1:36:42
  The Chiefs, Yeah, No, give me the Chiefs in this one.
• 1:36:45
  It's basically a bye week for Andy Reid after playing on Thursday night.
• 1:36:49
  He doesn't lose after a bye week, or I believe he has a ridiculous
• 1:36:55
  percentage on the after plane. A Thursday night game does losing the division.
• 1:37:00
  And so yeah, no, Mahomes doesn't lose in the division. But all
• 1:37:04
  right, uh Sunday night football game. This game should be very interesting.
• 1:37:09
  I think it's gonna be the game of the week. It's the Miami Dolphins
• 1:37:15
  five and one at the Philadelphia Eagles, who are five and one as well.
• 1:37:18
  Who do you have in this one right here? Philadelphia Eagles strongly?
• 1:37:24
  I think strongly, because I've seen we've seen the Dolphins not play good against
• 1:37:29
  good defenses. Well, they've played good, but they've been held in check
• 1:37:30
  against the Bills when the Patriots were healthy, they were held in check.
• 1:37:35
  And I think Jalen Hurts kind of has a bounce back game against this defense.
• 1:37:40
  Gave me the Philadelphia Eagles still slow down the game. I guarantee you
• 1:37:44
  they will slow down the game. Well, I guess this is another one
• 1:37:48
  we're disagreeing on. Giving the Miami Dolphins this This Eagles pass defenses, I
• 1:37:56
  guess you could say so, but but yeah no, give me the my
• 1:38:00
  me Dolphins. You're gonna be putting a track meet with this team. And
• 1:38:03
  the one weakness, like I said last week, is the Philadelphia Eagles pass
• 1:38:06
  defense. Two is gonna be able to take advantage of it. And it's
• 1:38:11
  not too cold yet, so hamstrings won't be tight, ankles won't be tight,
• 1:38:15
  they'll be loose and running all over the field. Jalen Hurts the way
• 1:38:19
  he has been playing this year, he should turn the ball over maybe once,
• 1:38:25
  maybe twice, maybe three, maybe four or five, I don't know,
• 1:38:29
  it just depends. Yeah no, give me the Dolphins to win this
• 1:38:32
  one easily. I don't know if that's my cowboy cowboy hate coming out,
• 1:38:38
  but yeah no, give me the Dolphins to win this one easily. But
• 1:38:40
  all right, Monday night football game. It is the San Francisco forty nine
• 1:38:45
  Ers at the Minnesota Vikings. Who do you have in this one? So
• 1:38:48
  I take another upset? Just kidding, I'll two with this, that would
• 1:38:55
  be crazy. I'll take the forty Niners. Yeah no, get if they
• 1:39:00
  had justin Jefferson, I'd probably picked the Vikings. So I'll go forty nine
• 1:39:04
  ers even saying that that's kind of a bold statement right there. But yeah,
• 1:39:11
  no Niners after a loss, they should bounce back, even if they
• 1:39:15
  don't have CMC and DBA playing in this game, but most likely they will.
• 1:39:19
  But all right, now that we got done with the NFL games,
• 1:39:25
  we're gonna talk a little bit of college football. We didn't talk college football
• 1:39:28
  last week, but we're gonna give two games each as far as which games
• 1:39:33
  we liked and or do you want to start it off, Josh, or
• 1:39:38
  do you want me to go and start it? You can start it all
• 1:39:42
  right. So one of the games that I wanted to talk about, Yes,
• 1:39:45
  I am a Florida State fan, so I'm gonna be talking some Florida
• 1:39:48
  State. So the seminals they won forty one to three, in which they
• 1:39:55
  are continuing to show their dominance going on to six and zero and potentially making
• 1:40:00
  a a championship run. Jordan Travis doing what he doing what he needs to
• 1:40:05
  do, not necessarily making a statement for a heisman, but just being solid.
• 1:40:11
  Trey Benson looking nice and keyon Coleman just being ridiculous. Uh, what
• 1:40:18
  do you think about this game? Right here? This's HERAC was going to
• 1:40:24
  this game. Were a good football team, like they were four and two
• 1:40:26
  on the season, kind of making a little bit of moves that they weren't
• 1:40:29
  making before, you know, but this game was pretty good. A key
• 1:40:33
  On Coleman dog. That's all I gotta say about Keon Coleman. That handed
• 1:40:39
  one handed grab in the middle of the field where he pulled it in.
• 1:40:42
  He made some big plays. That big punt return that he had. He
• 1:40:45
  looked really good. Man. He's making his he's making his case for being
• 1:40:50
  a top three receiver taken in the draft if he does declare this year and
• 1:40:57
  uh fourteen, he went nine touch down. It doesn't get better than that.
• 1:41:00
  And then what I what I like from the Florida State also was running
• 1:41:06
  back Lawrence to a Feeley. He looks strong man, like he's adult,
• 1:41:11
  Like he can run through. He reminds me of like Leonard Fournette kind of
• 1:41:15
  a little bit when he was playing, but not to that degree. Leonardournette
• 1:41:17
  was like a man amongst boys. But like the big runs, the physical
• 1:41:21
  like presence like that's that's it. Look he looked good out there. Yeah
• 1:41:26
  no, that dude, he's a he's a straight dog. But all right,
• 1:41:29
  let's go ahead and get into this next game. Right here, this
• 1:41:31
  game, it was a very good game right here. It was Washington versus
• 1:41:38
  Oregon, seven versus eight. Oh what did you see that stood out from
• 1:41:43
  this game right here for you, Josh? Was it the quarterback play?
• 1:41:46
  Go ahead? Go ahead ahead? Both teams looked really good. I'm like
• 1:41:51
  they looked both really strong. Strong receiver play from Romeo Duns who maybe the
• 1:41:57
  second best receiver in the Cup, Romoun who may be the second best receiver
• 1:42:01
  in the country. And then Troy Troy Franklin looked really good in this game
• 1:42:06
  for another game on the student that he's played really good. I saw.
• 1:42:12
  I think if it didn't come down to that fourth down that the Washington tried
• 1:42:15
  going for, I mean that Oregon tried going for. I think they may
• 1:42:19
  win this game because they had like a ninety four percent chance that I saw
• 1:42:23
  that they if they if they punted instead of going for the fourth down,
• 1:42:27
  they would have won the game, like ninety four percent chance of winning the
• 1:42:29
  game. But instead they give the ball back to Washington in good field position
• 1:42:32
  and Michael Pinnix hits Duns in the corner of the end zone back shoulder for
• 1:42:38
  like the second time in this game for a touchdown, which bumps them into
• 1:42:42
  the league. And then Washington comes back and misses the field goal and that's
• 1:42:45
  game. Michael Pennix looked really good. Probably the front runner for a Heisman
• 1:42:47
  right now. Yeah. No, Michael Pennix, he's he's just a straight
• 1:42:54
  dog. And the way he's playing right now, he's potentially making his way
• 1:42:59
  up to being that number two quarterback in the draft. But yeah, I
• 1:43:01
  know, both of these teams right here, they're just consistently good. Bo
• 1:43:05
  Nicks is a good quarterback. You just saw just levels of great quarterback play
• 1:43:12
  right here in the college football aspect. And yeah, and receiver play too.
• 1:43:16
  It's just ridiculous that the talent that they have. And it just sucks
• 1:43:20
  that even if they do meet up in the Pac twelve Championship, I think
• 1:43:27
  that just Washington, now that they have the edge right here, they're going
• 1:43:30
  to be the ones to make the college football playoffs. So it just sucks
• 1:43:36
  because Oregon they're a very talented team and obviously running back yeah no, that
• 1:43:45
  they just have. It's just ridiculous as far as the talent they get consistent
• 1:43:48
  in a year to year basis. But all right, now that we discuss
• 1:43:53
  the games that I wanted to talk about, what was one of the first
• 1:43:57
  games you wanted to talk about. I want to talk about Colorado versus Stanford
• 1:44:01
  and the Colorado collapse. The seoan Deris sand Sader. Sanders looked really good
• 1:44:10
  and like for the majority of the game, like even when they were down,
• 1:44:14
  like he was spreading the ball around. He looked like the accurate quarterback
• 1:44:16
  that he is. Thirty three for forty seven four hundred yards, five touchdowns
• 1:44:20
  and interception, and thirteen for thirty seven on the ground. He's getting his
• 1:44:25
  legs a lot more involved in these last two games, and it's actually opening
• 1:44:28
  up the offense. But I think where this team struggles is their defense,
• 1:44:32
  Like it's been the reason why they're losing these games. Their offense is dynamic.
• 1:44:35
  They probably have three receivers that could play in the NFL, and that's
• 1:44:41
  Travis Hunter, Xavier Weaver, and Jimmy Horn Junior. But their defense gets
• 1:44:45
  gassed. Man. I don't know if it's from like their offense scoring so
• 1:44:48
  many points that they're on the field like so much that they get and Travis
• 1:44:54
  Hunter playing both sides I think he's going to have to eventually pick between either
• 1:44:59
  play in pouring downs or just like picking a side because he was getting burned
• 1:45:04
  out there bro like in that second half, that ninety four yard touchdown by
• 1:45:10
  uh oh yeah, I can't his name's so hard to say. Yeah,
• 1:45:15
  yeah, I'm not gonna say it, but number fourteen, number thirteen wide
• 1:45:19
  receiver on the Stanford on Stanford dog. I don't know how to say.
• 1:45:26
  It's hard to say, but he really really like dogged Travis Hunter in that
• 1:45:33
  second half and in overtime thirteen for two ninety four to three touchdowns and that
• 1:45:39
  one catch that he had on Travis Hunter where he just held it against his
• 1:45:43
  helmet and walked him into the end zone for like fifteen yards. Like,
• 1:45:47
  I just think that they're gonna have to make a decision what Travis Hunter is
• 1:45:50
  gonna do or play Carmanie McLean moore, because you need another guy that's gonna
• 1:45:55
  be able to shut down a number one receiver and take Travis Hunter off the
• 1:45:58
  off off of the number one so he have a little bit more rest.
• 1:46:01
  Yeah, And I think that's something that they were able to get away with
• 1:46:06
  as far as early in the season, having Travis Hunter play both sides and
• 1:46:10
  after this elacerated rip or liver injury, you can't be doing that. This
• 1:46:15
  is his first game. Yeah, they should have eased them back. They
• 1:46:16
  should have eased them back a little bit more. They should have eased them
• 1:46:18
  back. But the biggest thing that I took away from this game, it's
• 1:46:21
  not necessarily their offense. You score forty three points against Stanford, you should
• 1:46:26
  win. But as far as these penalties, all these penalties seven every game,
• 1:46:31
  every game, in every single game, it's undisciplined. It's either it's
• 1:46:35
  either you coach the penalties or you condone the penalties. So something is just
• 1:46:42
  not sending there. I'm not saying Dion Sanders he's not a good coach,
• 1:46:45
  but as far as these players, there just has to be something that's just
• 1:46:49
  not clicking. As far as with all these penalties on a consistent basis,
• 1:46:55
  Like think about it, seventeen penalties one hundred and twenty seven yards. If
• 1:46:59
  you cut that in half, which is still a lot of penalties, you
• 1:47:01
  probably end up winning this game right here. Mm hmm, Yeah, Travis
• 1:47:05
  Hunter had that like bone head like unnecessary, like on sportsman like conduct,
• 1:47:10
  penalty where the receiver is basically baiting him into like throwing like a punch,
• 1:47:15
  and when he threw his hands at his face and pushed him, Travis Hunter
• 1:47:17
  did and he got a flag led to a touchdown after that, and then
• 1:47:20
  there was there's like countless fall start penalties every week on this offensive line.
• 1:47:27
  This offensive line can't protect. I just think after this year, they'll get
• 1:47:30
  a couple more recruits where these big names like in the trenches are gonna come
• 1:47:34
  through and sign with Colorado, just based off the hype and based off what
• 1:47:39
  they've seen from the school this year. Because this team has a lot of
• 1:47:42
  potential. Bro Like there's skill players matchup with anybody in the country. Like
• 1:47:46
  there's skill players can run, they can cast, they can they can get
• 1:47:49
  open. It's just it's just the matter of in the trenches and in the
• 1:47:55
  in the in linebackers that need to like come together and like actually like help
• 1:48:00
  this team win. Because Ashon Daniels was like the Stanford's third option this year
• 1:48:05
  at quarterback and he balled and he balled against this Colorado defense. Yeah,
• 1:48:12
  and I just think that the biggest thing that nobody's looking over as far as
• 1:48:16
  what Colorado was able to do at the very beginning. It's something that shouldn't
• 1:48:20
  have happened because all of this transfer portal stuff that happened. I believe they
• 1:48:26
  had over seventy transfers in total. So you don't have that camaraderie yet it's
• 1:48:30
  not necessarily on the coaches or the player's fault. They just need to learn
• 1:48:33
  how to play with each other. And like you said, so next year
• 1:48:38
  they're gonna get the recruits. They're gonna get some lineman offense and defensive linemen
• 1:48:43
  who are better than what they have right now, and they're gonna be a
• 1:48:45
  force to be reckoned with next year. M hmm. Yeah. They went
• 1:48:49
  won eleven last year. Four wins is a success. This year a big
• 1:48:56
  jump. All right, So I want to go into the next game.
• 1:49:02
  Yeah, all right, next game USC versus NOTRE game. Do you want
• 1:49:08
  to give your thoughts on this? First? I know you're a big Kayler
• 1:49:11
  Williams guy. Yeah, No, Caleb Williams, he's my guy. But
• 1:49:15
  man, Caleb Williams, he came back down to Earth and just man,
• 1:49:24
  just the biggest thing as far as I'm not necessarily I'll let you talk about
• 1:49:29
  Caleb Williams right here, because I kind of have a little bit of a
• 1:49:31
  bias, so I'll let you say what you have to say. But as
• 1:49:34
  far as with Lincoln Riley, as far as how his team is always constructed
• 1:49:40
  year after year after year, you go back to Oklahoma and it's always the
• 1:49:45
  offensive heavy team with the team that does not have defense. That's their biggest
• 1:49:49
  downside every single year, and it's just something that that it's just being preached
• 1:49:56
  on. Basically, you're just centering your whole team around Caleb Williams and just
• 1:50:01
  depending on him to be superman every single week because your defense is gonna give
• 1:50:05
  up over forty points every single time, like last week against Arizona forty one,
• 1:50:12
  Colorado forty one, Arizona State twenty eight. So you this defense is
• 1:50:17
  just terrible. But all right, I'll let you go ahead, and you
• 1:50:20
  go ahead and screwtinize Caleb Williams my guess, because he had a terrible game.
• 1:50:26
  Yeah, and he did have a terrible game. Twenty three for thirty
• 1:50:30
  seven, one nine to nine, had touchdown, three interceptions, thirteen rushes
• 1:50:34
  for negative eight yards, and a phone. I know he didn't have a
• 1:50:39
  fumble, but and thirty thirteen rushes for negative eight yards. That's something we
• 1:50:43
  haven't seen from Caleb Williams basically at all since first time in his career.
• 1:50:45
  He's thrown three interceptions, and they were ugly interceptions. They weren't like,
• 1:50:49
  oh like bounce off receivers, hands into a into a pick. You know
• 1:50:55
  what it was like where we saw Mahomes in his first couple of years,
• 1:50:59
  where he would try making too much happen and throw into double coverage and it
• 1:51:02
  would lead to a pick when he would throw interceptions. That's what we saw
• 1:51:05
  with Caleb Williams in this game versus Notre Dame. Like there was a couple
• 1:51:09
  of plays where he rolled out of the pocket, was getting pressured through it.
• 1:51:13
  Three guys right there, one comes down with an interception. There was
• 1:51:15
  another play where he stepped into the pocket, jumped in the air, threw
• 1:51:19
  it straight at a defender right in front of his space and it was intercepted.
• 1:51:23
  And then but what's worse about these interceptions is that it happened basically in
• 1:51:30
  Notre Dame territory in the red zone, which gave where Sam Hartman didn't look
• 1:51:34
  like he had a great day. But when you really watch. He had
• 1:51:36
  a good game, but it doesn't look like it because they were playing twenty
• 1:51:41
  five yards and in the majority of the game, like they were basically playing
• 1:51:44
  overtime in the first quarter. So like that's why Adi audi esteem. He
• 1:51:50
  had esteem. He had a really good game, like twenty two for ninety
• 1:51:55
  five and two touchdown. That's a big boy. He runs up the middle
• 1:51:58
  with power and you just can't let that happen versus a team like Notre Dame,
• 1:52:00
  who has a good defense, who has Sam Hartman and a good coach.
• 1:52:04
  So like Caleb Williams needs to kind of get those mistakes cleaned up,
• 1:52:10
  because he said he's he was the Heisman favorite before this game, but he's
• 1:52:15
  kind of dropped. He dropped to like maybe two or three after this one.
• 1:52:19
  He may let's see how he bounces back. And then plus with the
• 1:52:23
  the other tone overs, they lost to fumbles. There was a Notre Dame
• 1:52:27
  fumble, there was a fumble return for a touchdown by Notre Dame, and
• 1:52:31
  then there was another fumble recovery basically to end the game with Quinton with Quentin
• 1:52:36
  Joyner and in the final three minutes which kind of staled the deal for the
• 1:52:42
  whole team in general. Paster Sam Hartman, he throws a beautiful deep ball
• 1:52:45
  like he can, probably the best in the country at throwing the deep ball
• 1:52:49
  with his feet set. So so I just I just want to see how
• 1:52:53
  the Trojans bounce back after this game. Yeah, no, after what he
• 1:52:59
  did again, so Duke, he showed that he is more than capable enough
• 1:53:03
  to be one of the best quarterbacks in college football. I'm not saying nothing
• 1:53:08
  on the Pennix bon Nicks. Yeah, no, He's definitely more than more
• 1:53:14
  than capable enough though. But I think that after USC loss, they they
• 1:53:18
  had to be perfect this entire year because you have Washington, you have Oregon,
• 1:53:23
  you have Oregon State, you have u c l A all in that
• 1:53:27
  Pac twelve. And I think after this game they're going to be more likely
• 1:53:32
  to make the Pac twelve Championship than what USC is going to because I kind
• 1:53:38
  of like any better. Yeah yeah, because they're Texas. The Big twelve
• 1:53:45
  don as strong, So it's like they have to be perfect basically for them
• 1:53:48
  to make it. We saw what happened with Kansas State last year and for
• 1:53:50
  the Trojans, like they're they're in a strong They're in a strong like conference
• 1:53:57
  right as of this year, so like this game, this lost is going
• 1:54:00
  to hurt them a lot when it comes to making the playoffs. Yeah,
• 1:54:02
  no, I I just think that there's possibly even no chance. Now it
• 1:54:06
  don't have to be some miracles happening. But all right, now that we
• 1:54:12
  went over the games that we wanted to talk about in college football, we're
• 1:54:15
  going to talk about games one game that we're excited for to see in college
• 1:54:19
  football. And Josh, I'll let you go ahead and get this one started.
• 1:54:24
  What is the one game that you were excited for to see? Ohio
• 1:54:28
  State versus Penn State, number three in the country versus number seven in the
• 1:54:31
  country, rivalry game. I just can't wait to watch it, man,
• 1:54:34
  I just I really don't have like two munch of deep thoughts on it,
• 1:54:38
  but I just want to see these Ohio State receivers man Marvin Harrison Junior and
• 1:54:45
  other homies name he make a He make a ag bucauh. There are two
• 1:54:49
  two receivers that are are well. Marvin Harrison Junior being headed and shoulders above
• 1:54:55
  everybody where. He's the number one receiver in the country. But Agbuka could
• 1:54:59
  be argued top five in the country at this point, and I just want
• 1:55:02
  to see how they fare against this Penn State defense. And I want to
• 1:55:05
  see Penn State how they how they're able to defend those two and if they
• 1:55:09
  stop those two, they win the football game. Yeah. No, man,
• 1:55:15
  this is just a pick them game right here, and just the same
• 1:55:17
  way with Washington and Oregon. This is really gonna determine who's gonna make the
• 1:55:21
  college football playoffs right here. And Penn State, they've just been blowing everybody
• 1:55:29
  out, so the second test, Yeah, this is definitely their toughest test.
• 1:55:32
  So we're gonna see how legit this team is right here. But all
• 1:55:40
  right, we're gonna go ahead and get into my game that I'm looking forward
• 1:55:44
  to. So obviously I talked about Florida State, but we're gonna talk about
• 1:55:49
  Florida State a little bit more. So. It's gonna be Florida State versus
• 1:55:55
  Duke four versus sixteen six and zero versus five and one, potentially an ACC
• 1:56:01
  championship right here. Do you have any thoughts on this game right here?
• 1:56:05
  Josh, it's a it's gonna be a really good game. I want to
• 1:56:09
  see how Jordan Travis plays. I think it's weird saying Duke like I don't
• 1:56:13
  know a rank in the top twenty five for football, like is Zion Williamston
• 1:56:16
  playing right now or something like that. Yeah, but I just want to
• 1:56:20
  say, also, if Duke can pull this, pull this off, like,
• 1:56:25
  I think it's gonna be a it's gonna be a cool, like little
• 1:56:28
  little story storyline heading on for the rest of the season. I'm not showing
• 1:56:32
  up next podcast if Duke wins. Oh you are you are? Man?
• 1:56:39
  No, I can't afford that to happen. No, Jordan Travis, he's
• 1:56:42
  been playing damn near perfect this entire season. They're finally healthy. Johnny Wilson
• 1:56:47
  wide receiver, should be coming back, so that one two punch with him
• 1:56:51
  and Keyon Coleman. Uh, I'm gonna make a prediction for this one.
• 1:56:56
  I didn't make a prediction for the last one. The Florida State Seminals will
• 1:57:00
  win in convincing fashion by twenty plus points. Mark it down. I'm not
• 1:57:05
  even gonna gonna doubt that. That's no question right there. But all right
• 1:57:12
  now that we talk a little bit of college football, We're gonna go ahead
• 1:57:15
  and just give a quick recap on the MLB right here, So we missed
• 1:57:23
  some of the divisional round. But I'm gonna just say really quick who ended
• 1:57:27
  up winning. So the Astros may made it to the ALCS, the Diamondbacks
• 1:57:32
  made it to the NLDS, and the Phillies beat the Braves to advance to
• 1:57:38
  the NLCS. So now we have the Rangers versus the Astros, and we
• 1:57:44
  have the Diamondbacks versus the Phillies. So on Sunday, the Rangers and Astros
• 1:57:51
  played Game one and the Rangers won two to zero. Is there any big
• 1:57:56
  takeaways you want to take away from this? And by the way, Josh
• 1:58:00
  he is an Ashvills fan, so if they lose, he's going to be
• 1:58:03
  joining the couch with the Atlanta Braves. But go ahead, I well,
• 1:58:09
  we can say that the next game because kind of my takes kind of dunalens
• 1:58:13
  of both because its kind of both the same game. So like with the
• 1:58:16
  Rangers won the second game five to four, so they take a two zero
• 1:58:19
  lead. The thing is, man, when your pitchers can pitch into the
• 1:58:24
  all the way deep into the sixth round, you're probably gonna win the baseball
• 1:58:27
  game. Like starting with the Rangers with first game, Jordan Montgomery basically pitched
• 1:58:32
  his shutout like he did pitch his shut out so like it was like he
• 1:58:36
  did really good. Only allowed five hits, He had six strikeouts, which
• 1:58:40
  is pretty good, only allowed one walk, only had one walk. You
• 1:58:44
  know, he showed up, did what he was supposed to do. Justin.
• 1:58:47
  But the thing in in the first game, Justin Verlander on the other
• 1:58:49
  side, is one of the best fastball pitchers in the history of the game.
• 1:58:55
  Yeah, but the Texas Rangers basically had an answer for that. Like
• 1:59:00
  Justin bryerleond through forty nine fastballs and the Rangers didn't swing and miss on a
• 1:59:02
  single on a single one. That's insane. Yeah. And then the Astros
• 1:59:08
  continue to struggle at home. I don't know how you struggle to win at
• 1:59:11
  your own place, but they do. There's something that I saw that the
• 1:59:15
  Astros and sold out crowds are seven for twenty five. You're that's just that's
• 1:59:19
  just insane. And on the season they were forty and forty three. They
• 1:59:23
  had a better record on the road, so I hope they turned it around
• 1:59:27
  going in. But for the second game, Dude Altuve, Altuve, Kyle
• 1:59:31
  Tucker and Jose Abreu, where are you at? Like? Where where were
• 1:59:34
  you at? Yo? It's just this is very stressful jr. Don Alvarez
• 1:59:43
  kind of carried this game for the Astros, But on the other side,
• 1:59:46
  the Rangers first inning was insane. They had four RBIs basically like one after
• 1:59:54
  another. There was like a whole spurt like Semien score on a throwing letter
• 1:59:59
  by Valdez and it brought in Grossman seeger Garcia. It just kept going one
• 2:00:05
  after another until Valdez was able to escape with his life after that inning and
• 2:00:10
  he got pulled after two innings. So it was like it was it was
• 2:00:14
  a tough game to watch. Yeah, No, and the biggest thing as
• 2:00:18
  far as for the road opponent to do, so I'm gonna go and piggyback
• 2:00:23
  off of Game two is just a start off hot because that takes pressure off
• 2:00:28
  of your pitcher. And Nathan Evoldi who pitched, so he dude, he
• 2:00:32
  was a dog today. He was a dog today. Yeah, And he
• 2:00:35
  did what he needed to do because you knew the Astro batters for the most
• 2:00:41
  part, would be coming out swinging for the fences and so he was just
• 2:00:45
  able to relax The Rangers they did what they needed to do. And in
• 2:00:48
  baseball, my theory is if you're clicking at the right time, you're most
• 2:00:55
  likely going to end up winning the series. It doesn't matter. It's not
• 2:00:58
  like the NFL or the NBA, where it's like, Okay, this is
• 2:01:00
  the best team all year. They have this impressive resume this entire time,
• 2:01:04
  even if they're not streaking into the playoffs, you're gonna be like, all
• 2:01:08
  right, well they're gonna win. And baseball you never know who's gonna end
• 2:01:12
  up winning, because it could just be a wild card team like the Rangers
• 2:01:16
  who just snuck in and look, now there are two games away from making
• 2:01:21
  the World Series. And this offense is just so dynamic. Yeah, and
• 2:01:27
  as far as with Game one, what they were able to do. Verlander,
• 2:01:30
  he was six and oh in Game one starts. So this is something
• 2:01:34
  that is very impressive what the Rangers were able to do. So it's not
• 2:01:41
  like Verlander. He pitched a bad game. Right here, he only gave
• 2:01:45
  up two runs and they were yeah, and they were just all right,
• 2:01:49
  Well that happened. But you didn't expect the Astros to be shut out.
• 2:01:55
  But I think what it is the Astros they don't have the trash back the
• 2:02:00
  Okay, they've just been the most because they've just been the dynasty over the
• 2:02:04
  last seven years. I don't want to hear about it, but but what
• 2:02:09
  I want to talk about in that fifth inning today, in that fifth inning
• 2:02:13
  today or since there's at coming on Tuesday. On Monday, the Astros looked
• 2:02:16
  like they had life. Man, they were zero zero strikeouts, zero outs.
• 2:02:23
  They were had loaded bases, zero outs. Bro and Ivalde escaped with
• 2:02:29
  his life through he there was a couple of pot flies. There was a
• 2:02:32
  strikeout, he had two Bay couldn't get it done. He escaped that one,
• 2:02:38
  right, Yeah, yeah he did. It was five to three at
• 2:02:42
  that time. If they get one of two of those scored, it's a
• 2:02:44
  tie ball game like that, he is. Yeah, like the Astros kind
• 2:02:48
  of did their job for a little bit, but then that fire just went
• 2:02:51
  away after that. Yeah, yeah, No, it's just something. Well,
• 2:02:58
  the Rangers, they're they're just the hottest team right now. In Their
• 2:03:01
  defense is good right now, their defense is really good. I just think
• 2:03:05
  their offense is so good. If you just even get mediocre pitching, they're
• 2:03:11
  gonna end up winning ninety percent of their games because how dynamic their offense is.
• 2:03:16
  But all right, uh, we're gonna go ahead and get into the
• 2:03:20
  Phillies and Diamondbacks. They just played game one on Monday, the Phillies.
• 2:03:26
  They won five to three. Zach Galling he did pitch, who is their
• 2:03:30
  ace pitcher? And Zach Willard he pitched as well. Uh, do you
• 2:03:34
  have any takeaways from this game? Right here? Alis Storter and Bryce Harper,
• 2:03:41
  they're the reason they're stars in the MLB. They came out with like
• 2:03:45
  a plan and they just hit a bomb, two bombs back to back for
• 2:03:48
  home runs. And Zach Gallins just looked like a very un confident pitcher for
• 2:03:54
  the rest of the game, like he just looked scared every time he was
• 2:03:57
  on the on the plate. And then Bryce Harper didn't not stop from there
• 2:04:00
  like he had an rb I. Later on he got on base scored a
• 2:04:03
  run off of a jt uh Real Muto rb I. So it was a
• 2:04:12
  pretty good game. Bye bye Bryce Harper. Bryce Harper, there's a reason
• 2:04:15
  why he's considered one of the best, if not the best, in the
• 2:04:18
  m LB. And then Zach Willer dog he picks. He pitched into the
• 2:04:25
  sixth inning, he only allowed three hits and he had eight strikeouts, which
• 2:04:30
  is insane, So you know that was a good game. Then Nick,
• 2:04:32
  Nick Costell Costaanos scored a home run later on in the game to kind of
• 2:04:36
  steal it. Yeah. No, this Phillies team, they're just the hottest
• 2:04:43
  team in or throughout the National League and they're just doing what they did last
• 2:04:49
  year. And Bryce Harper he's just on a different level right now. Yeah,
• 2:04:56
  he's it's just ridiculous. I think he's BA right now in the postseason.
• 2:05:00
  It's four hundred. He's batting four hundred. That's yeah, yeah,
• 2:05:04
  four zero six, bro, Yeah no, it's it's ridiculous what he's able
• 2:05:10
  to do. And Nick Castianos, Uh, he just tied Reggie Jackson mister
• 2:05:15
  October for the New York Yankees as far as most home runs in a single
• 2:05:20
  postseason and his postseason run is not even over. It's ridiculous what they're doing.
• 2:05:27
  And I think that the Phillies they should end up winning this series right
• 2:05:32
  here, because I feel like the Diamondbacks they finally met their match right here.
• 2:05:39
  So I think that Phillies they're just too good on fire right now.
• 2:05:44
  And the two best teams in baseball should be playing. But all right,
• 2:05:48
  since I kind of mentioned mentioned it a little bit, who do you think
• 2:05:53
  is going to be in the World Series. Man, don't do this to
• 2:05:59
  me. Man, I'm gonna do the Phillies for sure on the other side.
• 2:06:01
  But yeah, oh man, I don't want to say it. I'm
• 2:06:05
  not gonna say Astros will come back, will come back, Astros will come
• 2:06:10
  back. They'll win, They'll they'll win out. No, they won't win
• 2:06:13
  out, but they'll they'll give up one, they'll give up one more,
• 2:06:15
  but they're gonna win. For there's a reason they're a dynasty. There's a
• 2:06:18
  reason they are a dynasty. So they're gonna they're gonna come back. Yeah,
• 2:06:25
  I think they're gonna come back to if they have the trash Cans.
• 2:06:28
  But yeah, no, I think all right, yeah, no, I
• 2:06:30
  think Rangers they win. I do think that. I think that Astros are
• 2:06:36
  gonna win one game right here, then Rangers are gonna end up winning the
• 2:06:41
  game, maybe going six. I if it goes seven, if it goes
• 2:06:45
  all seven games, I think the Astros will win. They'll have the momentum.
• 2:06:48
  But I think it's gonna be five, six games that the Rangers are
• 2:06:51
  gonna have to win. I just think it's gonna be up to the Astro
• 2:06:55
  stars actually coming through, Like their stars are just non existent right now.
• 2:07:00
  Bro, Kyle Tucker is pitching point zero nine to seven in the postseason.
• 2:07:04
  Bro, that is insane. Yeah, no, it's it's not looking good.
• 2:07:10
  But hopefully the Bats they could they could wake up. Yeah. As
• 2:07:15
  far as with the Phillies, like I said, they met their match or
• 2:07:17
  the Diamondbacks, they met their match. Phillies they're just on fire. So
• 2:07:21
  all right, since you have the Astros in the Phillies making it to the
• 2:07:26
  World Series, give me who do you think is gonna win? And uh
• 2:07:31
  as far as a series prediction, do you think they win? Five,
• 2:07:34
  six, seven or whatever? What? Do you think there's gonna be a
• 2:07:44
  close one? Bro, I say that it goes to seven. Oh man,
• 2:07:49
  do I be biased right here? Yeah? I'm gonna go Astros and
• 2:07:55
  seven. They can may continue on the names Harper still Bryce Harper stayed on
• 2:08:03
  the hunt Man. It would be a rematch from last year and that would
• 2:08:11
  be a damn good series to see. But all right, yeah, no,
• 2:08:13
  I have the Rangers and Phillies and man, I just think these are
• 2:08:20
  two of the best teams in baseball right now. Well, obviously they're they're
• 2:08:22
  deep in the playoffs, but as far as just their bats being on fire,
• 2:08:26
  I just think it just just hurts me to say this. But the
• 2:08:31
  Braves, what they were able to do to the Braves nobody's been able to
• 2:08:35
  do, and what they did to the Diamondbacks. I think that the Phillies
• 2:08:39
  they win in dominant fashion. I think they win five, five games,
• 2:08:45
  maybe six at most. I can see what happening. That's why that's why
• 2:08:50
  I'm like on this indecisive. I'm really just picked the Astros fan, But
• 2:08:54
  the Phillies have a strong team. Yeah, no it it's tough, but
• 2:09:00
  all right, that's gonna go ahead and conclude this episode right here. Thank
• 2:09:05

• 2:09:07
