Is CJ Stroud a top 10 Qb already?? Week 10 Reaction/ Analysis plus more! · The So-Called Sports Analysts

• 0:01
  Five four three two one. Welcome, Welcome, welcome, welcome, Welcome
• 0:08
  back to the so called sports analyst. Josh. How you doing. I'm
• 0:12
  doing good man. It was a good week of football because you know,
• 0:15
  with the Chiefs having good bye week, they still won. Beingles lost,
• 0:20
  Raven's lost, Bill's lost, I could keep going. They all lost.
• 0:25
  Any of the team that mattered they lost. Yeah, it definitely was a
• 0:29
  good weekend for you. But before we get started, whatever you're listening to
• 0:33
  on spreakers, Spotify, our radio, Google Podcast, Amazon Music, Audible,
• 0:38
  we appreciate it. Make sure you guys share this to a friend,
• 0:41
  mom, dad, grandma, whoever likes listening to sports. Just makes you
• 0:45
  share it some You guys can follow us on Twitter at Flying Garcia one hundred
• 0:50
  and Underscore Alfonso zero three. But all right, we're gonna go ahead and
• 0:55
  get straight into it. And like you mentioned with this Monday night football game
• 1:00
  for Broncos go into Buffalo and upset the Buffalo Bills off a game winning field
• 1:04
  goal. Josh, what was your reaction from this game? Broncos really dictated
• 1:12
  this game like they slowed it down. They did the Deacon dunks, they
• 1:18
  won the turnover battle. That's how that's when you're facing teams that you know
• 1:22
  have more talent than you, you need to do these things, slow down
• 1:25
  the football really and then you have to force the other team to get mistakes.
• 1:29
  And they did that. And who's better at miss doing having mistakes with
• 1:32
  the football? No other than Josh Allen. I'd love to hear it.
• 1:36
  But he went got fifteen for twenty six, one to seventy seven, one
• 1:40
  touchdown and two interceptions. He only had thirteen rushing yards. That's a pedestrian
• 1:45
  day for Josh Allen. But I can't be mad at it. I hate
• 1:48
  both these teams, but I'm glad the Broncos won this one. Yeah No,
• 1:53
  And the Broncos, like you said, they did what they had to
• 1:57
  do. And Russell Wilson clearly looked like the better quarterback tonight. And I
• 2:02
  know there's only four turnover or three turnovers on the box score for Josh Allen,
• 2:07
  but that one turnover with James Cook where they were driving the ball and
• 2:10
  they were at the fifty and he just dropped the ball out of nowhere that
• 2:15
  that just made no sense to me. And Josh Allen and games where he
• 2:20
  he's lost to Mac Jones, Zach Wilson, and Russell Wilson, and in
• 2:24
  those three games he looked like the worst quarterback out of them, and they
• 2:29
  were actually able to establish a run game with Javonte Williams and that dude,
• 2:34
  he's just an animal. Just the yards after contact, Cortland sudden with that
• 2:38
  nice catch that told drag swag right there. And also another storyline, I
• 2:45
  know you mentioned it on Twitter, DeMar Hamlin, he actually got some playing
• 2:49
  time late in the game because I think Taylor snap count. I guess it's
• 2:55
  gonna count. But actually, I don't know if you knew this, but
• 3:00
  he was the one that was actually the twelfth player on the field right there
• 3:04
  on that all sides or the twelve twelve players on the field. I don't
• 3:07
  know if he knew that that was him right there. So technically he has
• 3:10
  a negative comeback Player of the Year awards so far. So yeah, but
• 3:20
  this is this is a this is a weird game, Like I didn't expect
• 3:23
  that to happen. I really thought the Bills were gonna handle business. I
• 3:25
  didn't think they would drop to five and five. But that's this is the
• 3:29
  world we're living in right now. The Bengals and Bills are both five and
• 3:32
  five. It's weird to say, but that Courtland sign catch that he had
• 3:37
  was insane, Like he just seems to be in the right place at the
• 3:39
  right time when it comes to being in the end zone. Yeah. And
• 3:44
  Russell Wilson, actually, if you just look like if you're looking at the
• 3:49
  games, like he's not doing anything great, but he's not doing anything bad.
• 3:53
  I guess Sean Payton kind of fixed it where it's like, Okay,
• 3:55
  you're not gonna be doing nothing terrible, but you could still going to be
• 4:00
  the Russell Wilson that used to be. He's liminiting the mistakes for sure.
• 4:03
  Yeah, So do you stick with Russell Wilson here if he can find a
• 4:09
  way to win some games? Because Denver's next schedule, so it's tough.
• 4:13
  I'm not I'm not saying that it's easy, but these are all winnable games.
• 4:16
  You have the Vikings next, the Browns, the Texans, the Chargers
• 4:23
  these next four games. So do you think that Okay, I'm not saying
• 4:27
  they're gonna make the playoffs, but do you think they have a shot of
• 4:29
  making the playoffs here? No, I don't think so I think they're probably
• 4:33
  in these next couple of games, probably go around one in three. They'll
• 4:36
  get lucky and maybe go to in one maybe but yeah or too yeah to
• 4:43
  hell up saying but I don't know, it's hard. They're still there's still
• 4:46
  last in the division. They're they're behind Las Vegas, Los Angeles and of
• 4:49
  course Kansas City, so they still have a tough road in the division because
• 4:54
  they're not gonna win the division, so they're gonna have to fight for that
• 4:56
  wild card spot. And we're sitting with a whole bunch of teams sitting at
• 4:59
  five and four, six and three, Like every team seems to be five
• 5:02
  and four and six and three this year, So it's like, how how
• 5:06
  they have to put together some wins and hope other teams lose. So I
• 5:10
  really doubt that they make it. I don't think they have enough talent.
• 5:13
  The way they win these games isn't isn't gonna produce wins when you play the
• 5:16
  play some actual teams, like so it's just a matter of even though they
• 5:21
  beat an actual team today, but are they really they're five and five,
• 5:25
  so we'll just wait and see. But I don't know. I don't really
• 5:29
  see them. They will come back down to earth eventually. Yeah, And
• 5:34
  speaking of this other team right here, the Buffalo Bills. For some reason,
• 5:39
  I don't get it. They always have super Bowl hopes. But these
• 5:42
  next few games, this is where it really gets ugly. Right here.
• 5:45
  You face the Jets, Necks, then you go to Philly to Kansas City,
• 5:50
  then you play Dallas, then you play the Chargers, Patriots, and
• 5:54
  Dolphins. So that's not an easy schedule right here. You could maybe see
• 6:00
  two wins against the Jets and maybe the Patriots, but other than that,
• 6:03
  all of those it's looking like it's favoring the other teams though, But then
• 6:08
  they didn't even beat those two teams exactly. So do you think that the
• 6:12
  Bills are gonna miss the playoffs here? Because I think I do miss the
• 6:15
  playoffs. I do think they are gonna miss the playoffs. And my original
• 6:17
  prediction, barring Aaron Rodgers injury, was Dolphins and Jets could out the division
• 6:21
  and the Bills don't make it out because you can't keep winning. You can't
• 6:25
  keep up the pace that they were doing of winning games. When Josh Allen
• 6:29
  continues to lead the league in turnovers, he's let the league in turnovers since
• 6:33
  twenty eighteen. Every year Josh Allen has let the league in interceptions. It's
• 6:38
  just not a recipe for wins. And then this defense has gotten worse.
• 6:42
  Their weapons they I guess they added alt ve other than that it's is Stefan
• 6:46
  Diggs. So it's like they really haven't added is Gave Davis. Gave Davis
• 6:50
  is like the most hidden hit or miss player in the NFL. One game.
• 6:55
  He'll go for four for one to twenty and two touchdowns with the next
• 6:59
  four games so high two catches all combined, like you know, So it's
• 7:02
  just not a recipe for wins. Their run game is very is very mediocre.
• 7:05
  Today they have finally got it going a little bit, but still turnovers
• 7:10
  happened. So it's like they're they're really not capitalizing on any opportunities they're given.
• 7:15
  Yeah, and even at that James Cookie what it was like a fifty
• 7:18
  yard run, So do you really think like it wasn't like, oh,
• 7:21
  like they're getting consistent drives of the run game going. It's just it was
• 7:26
  one big play. But yeah, yeah, anything else you have to stay
• 7:30
  from this game. Just the Bills got to turn it around. Man.
• 7:34
  They really have no other option but to win every game from here on out.
• 7:39
  But like you said, they're going through a galllet these next what nine
• 7:42
  games in the season, I know, next eight games, seven games in
• 7:45
  the season. I just don't see it happening, especially these after the Jets
• 7:49
  game, because you have the Eagles, Eagles Chiefs, Oh my goodness.
• 7:57
  Okay, yeah, Eagles, these Cowboys and then Chargers. So those aren't
• 8:03
  easy games right there. But all right, we're gonna move into the Sunday
• 8:05
  night football game. It was New York Jets versus the Las Vegas Raiders,
• 8:11
  and again Antonio Pearce leads them to another victory too and zero underneath his belt.
• 8:18
  Josh, what did you take away from this game? Right here,
• 8:20
  they're finally starting to believe in each other. I feel like they're getting Josh
• 8:24
  Jacobs involved, something that we didn't see in the first couple of games.
• 8:28
  Coming off a year where he let the league in touches for a running back,
• 8:31
  he's finally getting the ball. He had twenty seven carries one to sixteen.
• 8:37
  If you give your your workhurst, running workhorse running back the ball,
• 8:39
  you probably will win the game, especially against the Jets, who really can't
• 8:43
  get anything going on offense. They had a couple of plays where receivers were
• 8:46
  running open and Zach Wilson just missed them every single time. And then this
• 8:52
  defense plays out of their mind for the Jets, but the offense just can't
• 8:54
  seem to get it done for them, and that has been the story over
• 8:58
  the last two years for them. As for the Raid, it's a good
• 9:01
  little story. They're getting Devonte Adams get going. I think they have a
• 9:05
  little bit of juice going right now. But they're gonna end up playing some
• 9:07
  really good teams, I think. So it's gonna come back down to the
• 9:11
  earth all so much like I think it is for the Broncos. Let's just
• 9:13
  not get ahead of ourselves and like crowning them or anything, because they their
• 9:16
  quarterback is Aidan O'Connell for being a rookie, he's all right, but it's
• 9:20
  just the matter. I think. I think they're they're really game scripting,
• 9:24
  having a really good game script for him right now, and once he has
• 9:28
  to get into shootouts, that's when we'll really seeing who he is. Yeah,
• 9:31
  We're gonna see who this team is because next they have the Dolphins,
• 9:35
  the Chiefs, the Vikings, Chargers, and Chiefs again, and then you
• 9:39
  finish off with the Colts and Broncos. So eh. But the biggest thing
• 9:45
  that I took away from this is, like you said, this Jets defense
• 9:48
  is pretty it's pretty damn good. One of the best defenses in the league.
• 9:52
  And you ran the ball thirty two times in four point six yards per
• 9:56
  carry. This is a really good run defense right here. And you're able
• 10:00
  to effectively run the ball. And if you could do that, I'm not
• 10:03
  saying you're gonna be able to win these games, but you're gonna be able
• 10:05
  to stay in these games. And you know, and you know, anything
• 10:09
  happens when you stay late in the games. And the Raiders defense, like
• 10:13
  you said, they just brought new juice or there's just new juice with Antonio
• 10:16
  Pearson. This defense, they're playing just out of their mind right now.
• 10:20
  And who knows, maybe you whenever Arthur Smith should take a hint right here,
• 10:26
  but maybe whenever you give your star players the ball, good things happen.
• 10:31
  And as far as with the Jets side, right here, man,
• 10:35
  they had so many opportunities to cash in. But it's just Zach Wilson.
• 10:39
  He's as much as he's improved, it's not as far as him being so
• 10:46
  much greater. It's just been just a notch above what he was. And
• 10:52
  there's been reports. I know Adam Schefter he reported Aaron Rodgers he wants to
• 10:56
  be back by mid December, I believe. But they got the Bills,
• 11:01
  Dolphins, Falcons, Texans, and then the Dolphins again, so that's about
• 11:09
  when Aaron Rodgers would return. After that. Do you think that Aaron Rodgers
• 11:13
  he should come back because that's not an easy schedule, or do you think
• 11:16
  he should just be out the rest of the season. I just think it's
• 11:20
  depending on how much games they win. Honestly, let's say they lose the
• 11:24
  next three games, there will be four and eight. I don't think he'll
• 11:26
  come back to a four and eight team, But if they're like still five
• 11:30
  hundred and fighting for a final spot, I think he'll come back. You
• 11:33
  know. But the thing is with Aaron Rodgers, a lot of people realize,
• 11:35
  oh, what's he doing coming back this year? He has nothing to
• 11:39
  lose if he doesn't. If he plays this year, he's forty years old,
• 11:43
  like he's I think in his mind he's thinking like, if I get
• 11:46
  hurt again, I just retire, Like I'm not really gonna miss out on
• 11:48
  anything. I already made my money, I'm already established to be a Hall
• 11:52
  of Famer. To me at this point is just do I want to finish
• 11:54
  out this year? And if he gets hurt again, he's just like whatever,
• 11:58
  I'll just still offense to the sunset. So I think I think if
• 12:01
  they are five hundred, he'll give it a go. Yeah, And it
• 12:07
  would be interesting because this a this AFC battle is just so you have the
• 12:11
  top of the top. You have the Chiefs, then Ravens. Those are
• 12:16
  the only two teams where you could kind of say, right now, like
• 12:18
  okay, well they have a for sure playoff spot because they have the seven
• 12:22
  wins and they have but then you see division, But the Ravens could go
• 12:26
  on a losing streak and miss out because everybody in that division's is neck and
• 12:31
  neck. Yeah, that's that's true. Well, all right, we could
• 12:35
  we could say confidently the Chiefs they're the only team, but other than that,
• 12:39
  you could go anywhere from two to to even like to eleven or twelve
• 12:43
  where it's like any of these they could just flip in a matter of just
• 12:46
  three four games. So you never know what's going to happen. And this
• 12:50
  AFC is just so so damn talented. You just don't know. If a
• 12:54
  team gets hot, then they could end up making a big run. But
• 13:01
  anything else you want to take away from this game, it's just a matter
• 13:05
  like no, not really, that's we covered everything for this game. It's
• 13:09
  just Devanta Adams got a little bit involved. He had thirteen targets. I
• 13:13
  want to see more of that. I think if you get your big playmakers
• 13:16
  the ball, you'll lead in lead into some good things. So I just
• 13:18
  want to see more of that. Yeah, no, please keep doing that.
• 13:22
  I appreciate it. He won me a couple of leagues again, man,
• 13:26
  you know the only league that I lost in your league? This league?
• 13:28
  This week, Josh, I went five and one. I scored quite
• 13:33
  a bit of points in my league. I score and it's a fourteen man
• 13:35
  people, So one and thirty points is like like a lot. Man.
• 13:43
  You know who who would have won? Who would have won me the game
• 13:46
  if I would have started him? Noel tom Brady? Yeah, yeah,
• 13:50
  I should have started tom Brady. All Right, the next game we're gonna
• 13:56
  get into It was at three o'clock games. It was Washington at Seattle and
• 14:01
  the Washington Commanders Sam Howe. He led a late touchdown drive to tie up
• 14:05
  the game. Then Gino Smith did what he did and had a game winning
• 14:09
  field goal in which they won twenty nine to twenty six. And with shout
• 14:13
  out to Jason Myers went five or five from field goals in the game winning
• 14:16
  field goal. Josh, what did you take away from this game? This
• 14:20
  is a good game by both quarterbacks. Gino Smith played pretty good thirty one
• 14:24
  for forty seven three sixty nine to two touchdowns, and he added thirteen yards
• 14:30
  on the ground off of one carry. Then then on the other side somehow
• 14:35
  twenty for forty four three twelve three touchdowns. You want that from your quarterbacks.
• 14:39
  They it was a shootout of one of many that we've had. And
• 14:41
  it didn't really translate the touchdowns the entire game, but you could really tell
• 14:45
  that like they were. They were just going back and forth with passes and
• 14:48
  then what was crazy as a wide receiver one Brian Robinson, I harp on
• 14:52
  him getting eight carries. The strategy they didn't listen if you give them,
• 14:56
  if you gave him nine carries, they probably would have won this game.
• 14:58
  He had eight carries, but he had six catches for one hundred and nineteen
• 15:03
  yards and a touchdown, so I guess he kind of made up for it.
• 15:05
  But they didn't get the job done though, if they didn't really listen
• 15:07
  to me too much. But that's insane. He's had his career high for
• 15:11
  one nineteen. And then Kenneth Walker on the other side, just established himself
• 15:16
  a regain again coming off these injuries as the number one running back in Seattle
• 15:20
  when people are really harping for Zack Salmon need to get more of a workload.
• 15:24
  But it was a good game all around. It just came down to
• 15:26
  the final second. Really, Yeah, this was surprisingly like, these are
• 15:33
  two good quarterbacks, but I didn't expect this to be high level quarterback play.
• 15:37
  And you've been you've been on this train as far as for Sam,
• 15:39
  how as far as him being one of the better quarterbacks in the league.
• 15:43
  And we've been talking about these past several weeks. Seattle they have a damn
• 15:46
  good defense, and they have a defense on the rise, and sure enough
• 15:50
  him and Eric the Enemy, Eric b Enemy, they're just cooking it up,
• 15:54
  right, now, and he looks really good right now. I'd have
• 15:58
  to give it to him. And it looks like they have a quarterback for
• 16:02
  the next five to ten years right here. Yeah, I think I think
• 16:04
  they found their franchise guy. He has all the arm talent as comparable to
• 16:10
  a Mahomes, as comparable to a to Josh Allen too, and so like
• 16:15
  ye, it's yeah, it's just a matter of him getting the experience putting
• 16:18
  it all together. I think we're seeing two good young quarterbacks this year with
• 16:21
  Stroud and Sam Howe kind of come into their own. He's out playing Trevor
• 16:25
  Lawrence like so it's like it's just a matter of them developing. And what's
• 16:30
  crazy too, is they're spraying the ball out in Washington and they're not just
• 16:33
  targeting Scary Terry. They're not just targeting Johan Dotson. It's a really Chiefs
• 16:37
  offense over there. They're targeting everybody this game. This game, Deanmi Brown
• 16:41
  two catches, Logan Thomas five catches, Scary Terry four catches, John Bates
• 16:47
  three catches, Brian Pringle one catch, Curtis Samuel to catch, Alex Arma
• 16:49
  one catch. They really went deep into the depth chart. They special teamers
• 16:52
  that are like, hey you get a catch. Hey, I think I
• 16:56
  think you got a catch too. In that game, Josh, I did
• 17:00
  think I scored? Yeah, you you probably did. But let's not forget
• 17:07
  either. I know Sahow he played one game last year against the Cowboys in
• 17:10
  which he picked us apart. But this is his rookie year right here.
• 17:14
  So what he's doing, it's it's pretty damn impressive. And with the ards,
• 17:22
  yeah, yeah, he's leading the league in passing yards. But as
• 17:26
  far as with the Seattle Seahawks, so now they're six and three, you
• 17:30
  face the Los Angeles Rams next week, and then you really see who this
• 17:34
  team is gonna be. I know that they lost to Baltimore, but they're
• 17:37
  not gonna have to worry about them till potentially Super Bowl or whatever. But
• 17:44
  after the Rams, you have the Niners, Cowboys and Niners and then yeah,
• 17:49
  so do you think do you this Seattle team, do you think that
• 17:55
  they could be a legit team right here? Because we've seen we've only seen
• 18:00
  one one or two games. So we saw against Cleveland, and we saw
• 18:04
  against the Ravens one game where they look pretty damn good, and another game
• 18:11
  against one of the better teams where they look kind of disappointing. So what
• 18:15
  do you think is gonna happen in between these next five games? The forty
• 18:21
  nine ers, like damn good the other day to yesterday. Yeah, so
• 18:25
  it's like they beat the Rams, I think. I think they beat the
• 18:29
  Rams in a close one. The Niners. I think they split games.
• 18:32
  I think I think they split games with the Niners. I think they they
• 18:36
  they escaped with one, but I don't know. The Niners destroyed them last
• 18:38
  year every single time they played. So it's like we'll see the Cowboys.
• 18:42
  The way the Cowboys are playing, I think it's gonna be closer, but
• 18:47
  the Cowboys I think will pull it out. It's just like and then they
• 18:49
  got the Eagles, which is gonna and they got the Cardinals, the Steelers.
• 18:53
  The Cardinals look really good at Colin merrayback, So it's easy game.
• 18:59
  The more so, I don't. It's just we're gonna find out who this
• 19:02
  team really is. We're gonna find out if they're pretenders or not, you
• 19:06
  know, Like so it's like, yeah, it's just a matter of them
• 19:10
  putting together the wins. These are these are signature wins. That you need
• 19:12
  to establish still as a good team in the NFL. And I think we'll
• 19:15
  see that from the Seattle Seahawks and we'll see who they really are. Yeah,
• 19:19
  and just build that momentum. And I think how they got blown out
• 19:22
  last year by the Niners. I feel like they kind of added that talent
• 19:26
  though they kind of added more because you added Jackson Smith and Jig but you
• 19:30
  added I know, Zach Sharpney, he's not getting as much burned, but
• 19:34
  you added that another element. As far as the running back, you added
• 19:37
  Devon Witherspoon, you added Leonard Williams, you added Bobby Wagner back. So
• 19:41
  he added these pieces. So it's now it's like, okay, it's November
• 19:45
  football. This is where you got to start making that jump and can gino
• 19:49
  Smith he looked good yesterday, so this is the first time he's looked good
• 19:53
  in a while, because in that Baltimore game he didn't look that good.
• 19:57
  So it's like, all right, well, is this a you know that
• 20:00
  we're gonna see. If you could see this, you know, then you
• 20:02
  can see them possibly upsetting the Cowboys or splinting with the Niners like you said,
• 20:07
  So yeah, I know we'll see well, all right. Speaking of
• 20:11
  his next game right here, it was the other through twenty five game.
• 20:15
  It was the Man, the Myth, the Legend, and Josh's words,
• 20:21
  the Italian Stallion versus the Cowboys, in which the Cowboys they won forty nine
• 20:27
  to seventeen. Josh, what were your takeaways from this game? Cowboys had
• 20:33
  no business, That's all I took away from it. I think what's really
• 20:37
  good as compared to the first game versus the Giants, is that the defense
• 20:41
  really showed out. In the first game of Giants, so the Cowboys didn't
• 20:44
  get a chance to release showcase the offense. But on the flip side on
• 20:48
  this one, the Cowboys defense still did their thing, of course, but
• 20:51
  the Cowboys offense really showed what they can do. I don't really I don't
• 20:55
  really think this really changes the narrative too much because it's the Giants. Like
• 20:59
  the if the Cowboys, I expect them to blow out the Giants, you
• 21:02
  know, like, if you don't blow out the Giants, then something went
• 21:04
  wrong, Like if they only won by one touchdown in this game, I
• 21:07
  would be really harping on something. But this really just confirms who the Cowboys
• 21:11
  are you know, they're gonna dominate the really the bad teams. They are
• 21:15
  gonna dominate the meet the mid teams. But they need to get it done
• 21:19
  consistently with the good teams, you know. So I just want to see
• 21:22
  more of that. The thing is with the Cowboys, the run game continues
• 21:26
  to not be like it continues to be the weakness which used to be the
• 21:30
  strength of this team. Last year they were number two, and they were
• 21:33
  number two in rushing yards, you know, for the team for the NFL.
• 21:38
  So Tony Pollard people are really mad, like they're not using Tony Pollard
• 21:42
  correctly. They're not doing this. Y'all asked them to do this. Y'all
• 21:47
  havesked them to run Tony Pollard up the middle. Y'all asked them to get
• 21:48
  rid of ze. Y'all wanted this. Rico Dado looked like he had a
• 21:52
  really good day. He did have a good day, but a lot of
• 21:55
  it was in garbage time when Tony Pollard was like already out. But I
• 21:59
  think they could really establish him as a change of pace back that Pollard used
• 22:03
  to be. So it takes a lot of pressure off Pollard's shoulders, and
• 22:04
  then he see Pollard using the passing game. This is where Pollard was really
• 22:08
  touted as like, oh, he could be a number one is because he
• 22:11
  could establish the elosiveness, he the quickness, the hands. I want to
• 22:15
  see more of that from from him. And that's where ceedee lamb. He
• 22:18
  continues his tear over the last three games, and it's really impressive to see
• 22:22
  because there was a lot of people really doubting him as if he was a
• 22:25
  true number one receiver, and I think he's really shown that he is a
• 22:27
  true number one stiver. He's arguably one of the in the top eight receivers
• 22:32
  because we're in a time where there's just a million receivers that you could just
• 22:36
  name. Someone will argue with you and you can't really be mad at them
• 22:38
  for saying. So he's in the top eight, he could be in the
• 22:41
  top three, he could be in the top five. However, anyone looks
• 22:44
  at it. And as for the Giants, Oh no, we'll get into
• 22:48
  the Giants later. And what's your opinions on this game? So before I
• 22:52
  get into as far as the offense, I just want to say as far
• 22:55
  as with the Cowboys defense, the Cowboys defense this entire year they're the only
• 23:00
  team to not allow a three hundred yard passer, one hundred yard rusher,
• 23:03
  one hundred yard wide receiver in the game. So I just want to mention
• 23:10
  that first. And obviously it's the Giants. We're supposed to take care of
• 23:15
  this team. Right here, This was more of a not a lose,
• 23:18
  lose, but kind of in that situation because if you lose this game obviously
• 23:22
  bad. If you win close, it's bad. If you kind of win
• 23:26
  struggling, it's bad. They did what they had to do. But what
• 23:30
  I took away from this game right here is that you're starting to fix.
• 23:33
  This is the time where these next three games where you could start to fix
• 23:37
  the problems that you had. I know, this Cowboys offense, it was
• 23:41
  clicking against Philadelphia as far as the pass game, but this is where you
• 23:45
  start fixing the run game. But what did I tell you last week?
• 23:48
  As far as we have that powerback, we're just not using them. His
• 23:52
  name is Rico Dawdle, And I know you said this was garbage time,
• 23:57
  but it really wasn't. If you look at the where we actually scored.
• 24:02
  Ric o'doubell he was actually that one aid back right there. And where I
• 24:07
  think Tony Pollard needs to be used is as far as at one be back
• 24:11
  because you have the power back, power back, power back in which he
• 24:15
  is and he looked very explosive and in this game not a coincidence, Tony
• 24:19
  Pollard, he looked faster, and he looked more explosive than ever. I
• 24:22
  know it's a Giants defense, but he looked more explosive. Why because he's
• 24:26
  not getting as many carries and he's not he's not being used as at one
• 24:32
  a running back. He's being used as far as just change a pace back.
• 24:36
  And I feel like this could be successful right here. This is something
• 24:40
  that you could carry on and you're gonna be able to work on this against
• 24:42
  Carolina, against Washington, against Seattle before you go on your gauntlet other schedule,
• 24:48
  before you face the Eagles, the Bills, the Dolphins, the Lions.
• 24:52
  So this is something like a work in progress. And man, what
• 24:57
  can I say? The co the Code of Ring Prescott, that dude,
• 25:02
  he's he's been balling. I've I guess I'm gonna keep saying this. He's
• 25:06
  been balling this entire this entire month, and it's just it's just ridiculous.
• 25:11
  And Dak Prescott. I'm gonna read you some stats. Dak Prescott since Week
• 25:15
  six, ninety two point eight passing grade, nine point seven yards per temp,
• 25:19
  twelve passing touchdowns ten point seven, big time throw rate one point two
• 25:23
  turnover rip turnover worthy play rate, sixty seven point one of passing yards via
• 25:29
  air. All of that is first since the bye week. So Mike McCarthy,
• 25:33
  he's really cut. Dak Lews. He forgot about this whole Texas Coast
• 25:37
  offense or whatever it was. He said effort, Well, we have a
• 25:40
  top quarterback in this league less, might as well use them. And one
• 25:45
  thing that I like is that Brandon Cooks. He got involved, but not
• 25:48
  as far as with the little intermediate stuff. Everything was down the field.
• 25:52
  You're finally establishing a deep threat because what does that do? I know Ceed's
• 25:57
  been cooking, but it opens up ced Jake and Michael Gallup mhm and yeah,
• 26:03
  ceedee lamb uh. First player ever in NFL history to have ten plus
• 26:07
  catches, one hundred and fifty yards and a touchdown in three straight games.
• 26:11
  And people they say he's not a wide receiver. One. I'm not saying
• 26:15
  he's the best receiver in the game. But the way he's been playing,
• 26:18
  he's making a big name as far as putting himself up there. But yeahhh
• 26:25
  oh no, wait one thing before, so Michael Gallup, he kind of
• 26:29
  looked back a little bit. But what I like too is that Jalen Tober
• 26:33
  he's getting more burned. And then Jalen Brooks. I'm saying this right now
• 26:36
  before it starts happening, Josh, I'm letting you know. Jalen Brooks he's
• 26:40
  going to be big down the stretch. He was a seventh round pick and
• 26:44
  now he's finally starting to get some burn and I feel like he's gonna be
• 26:47
  really big. But all right, we go ahead and talk about the Giants.
• 26:51
  What did you take away from the Giants right here? I just want
• 26:52
  to give this some cowboys real quick. With the with the city Lamb having
• 26:56
  these big games is allowing the it's putting the defensive attention onto him. So
• 27:02
  it's opening up the games for Brandon Cooks, in which what we saw was
• 27:06
  more evident in his last game, Brandon Cooks really got loose and that's gonna
• 27:08
  be pretty scary for teams going forward because finally the guy that they expected to
• 27:14
  be this big maybe like a wide receiver one b, like not necessarily on
• 27:19
  the level, but like right underneath ceedee lamb. He's finally getting open,
• 27:22
  finally getting moving. I think if he can keep this going moving forward,
• 27:26
  it'll it'll be really great for this team. But as far as the Giants
• 27:30
  broke, I like Brian Dable, but can you stop being a prick?
• 27:33
  Can you stop being a fucking print dude? Like, come on, like
• 27:37
  your rookie quarterback who was the third street going into the season. I get,
• 27:42
  I make a joke at the Italian Stallion, blah blah, like it's
• 27:45
  all a joke, But Tommy Debido does not deserve to be fun, to
• 27:48
  be like drilled into coming off into the sideline when he's playing without without with
• 27:56
  a bad offensive line, with the scrap hearts on that line, people like
• 28:02
  they're down to their practice squad players and he's playing without Darren Waller, he's
• 28:07
  playing with these mediocre receivers, and you're you're drilling into him, like come
• 28:11
  on, like he can only do so much. You're asking too much of
• 28:15
  him, Like he just got thrown into be the starter this week. This
• 28:18
  week is his first game ever starting in the NFL as a rookie. What
• 28:22
  did he go un drafted? Was he a seventh round or he went on
• 28:25
  drafted one of the two. I believe that he was undrafted. Yeah,
• 28:30
  on draft. He still lives with his parents. People like, come on,
• 28:33
  like he's he's not even making enough money, like to get his own
• 28:37
  place. He's like he quit drilling, Like let him learn. Like,
• 28:41
  dude, you're already down to him. Just let him learn. Yeah.
• 28:45
  As far as the for the for Saquon, get him out of there.
• 28:48
  Get Saquon out of there. There's a lot of expectations, a little too
• 28:52
  much expectations for this Giants team coming off nine wins last year and making the
• 28:56
  playoffs. That they gave money, this big contract to Dan Jones, they
• 29:00
  gave this big they traded for Darren Waller, give him a contract. They
• 29:03
  restructed Saquon. It just scrap it up, restart. This is not a
• 29:08
  team that's built to win. You need to rebuild everything for this team.
• 29:12
  And the giantsman real rebuilding ever since Eli Manning left. So it's just a
• 29:17
  matter of, oh, they just need to start from the bottom official rebuild.
• 29:21
  Yeah, and I know, like you were saying, at least Tommy
• 29:25
  DeVito. He put together some good drives as he looked, I know,
• 29:29
  yeah, he looked all right. And I think it's not necessarily that this
• 29:33
  team is like, Okay, this team is bad, but it looks like
• 29:37
  they're starting to give up a little bit, Like now they're like, well,
• 29:40
  what the hell, what are we? What are we playing for here?
• 29:42
  We obviously are outmatched here. And when you have a different class of
• 29:47
  a team who just came off a loss, they're going to be motivated to
• 29:51
  to kick or kick their teeth in. And yeah, no, it's just
• 29:56
  time to just fully rebuild. Uh. Now with the Cardinals, they have
• 30:00
  Kyler Murray back. The only team you really have to worry about is the
• 30:04
  Patriots and then the Panthers. Really as far as for or which would be
• 30:10
  the Bears pick. So hey, maybe you could get Caleb Williams, you
• 30:14
  could get your Drake Maye whoever. But like you said, it's time to
• 30:18
  scrap it up. But any last takeaways from this game, Josh, No,
• 30:22
  that's it all right. Well, we're gonna get onto this next game,
• 30:26
  in which it's one of Josh's favorite teams right here, his dark horse
• 30:30
  team, which they don't look as much of a dark horse now. But
• 30:33
  the Detroit Lions. Again, we had a lot of game winning field goals
• 30:38
  here, but the Detroit Lions the game winning field goal in which they won
• 30:42
  a high scoring game forty one to thirty eight. Josh, what did you
• 30:47
  take away from this game? Right here? This is a really fun game
• 30:51
  to watch, dude. Like I was watching it and I was just on
• 30:52
  the edge of my seat every game. What was pretty cool about it every
• 30:56
  time the Charters came and scored the Lions is how to answer. And it's
• 31:02
  not like they were the charges. We're doing it and kind of a little
• 31:03
  bit of long drives. I get the score was really high, but like
• 31:07
  they were like going down. But the Lions would just do it in two
• 31:08
  places, they would do it in three plays. They would they would really
• 31:11
  get it done. Jared Goff is looking like an MVP candidate, and this
• 31:17
  backfield is looking pretty scary and looking pretty scary. Jamiir Gibbs can do it
• 31:22
  all. He can run it, he can catch it. But David Montgomery
• 31:23
  is the powerhouse they just have. Like once you get hit in the mouth
• 31:27
  by one, the other is gonna take take you for a ride. He's
• 31:30
  gonna, he's gonna, he's gonna make you catch him like it's it's insane
• 31:33
  and amnross Saint Brown is making a case of being one of the best receivers
• 31:38
  in the NFL, much like CD Lamb is. He's like, I'm a
• 31:42
  dog, I'm a dog. I'm gonna show up and I'm gonna, I'm
• 31:45
  gonna, I'm gonna get it done because he's he's the one of the best
• 31:48
  route runners in the NFL. He can get open on any play no matter
• 31:51
  who you put in front of him. He's the he's the leading receiver.
• 31:56
  Oh nasty, He's the He's the only widers in the NFL to have he
• 32:01
  No, he has the most one hundred receiving one hundred yard receiving games in
• 32:07
  the NFL this year with seven. That's more than Tyreek Kill, more than
• 32:09
  A J. Brown, more than CD Lamb, more than Justin Jefferson.
• 32:13
  I get he's hurt, so just Jefferson will probably have that record if you
• 32:15
  know he was playing. But you know, leading everything right now, when
• 32:20
  leading that when it comes to receivers, and they have a good supporting cast
• 32:23
  around him. This this Lions team is built I think to make a deep
• 32:27
  push and I think they're gonna do it. This is the year Dan Campbell.
• 32:30
  Dan Campbell built this team up to what it is and they're gonna buy
• 32:34
  your knee caps off along the way. Yeah. No, this Lions team,
• 32:39
  they're they're legit. And Dan Campbell, it's just crazy that he was
• 32:44
  able to turn this team around and what three years? So this is his
• 32:46
  third year right here, right, he was able to turn turn around this
• 32:51
  team so damn quick. And it's fourth year. No, I don't want
• 32:57
  four year. Yeah because Matt Patricia. No, Matt Maatricia was Matt Patricia
• 33:01
  was there. But yeah, I know, this is just a different The
• 33:06
  Lions are showing different elements. Like what we're saying or what else saying with
• 33:08
  the Eagles last week, they're showing different ways to win. The Lions are
• 33:13
  showing different ways to win. Oh we need a gritty, defensive type game.
• 33:16
  Okay, we'll do that. Oh it's going to be a high scoring
• 33:20
  game. Okay, we could do that. We could score real quick.
• 33:22
  Oh all right, it's going to be a run the football type of game.
• 33:24
  Jared Goff make a few passes a La Kansas City game they'll do that.
• 33:30
  And this running back tandem right here, it's the best runback group in
• 33:34
  the league by far. David Montgomery, he's a power and well both of
• 33:39
  these it's kind of disrespectful to say one's power one speed. They both have
• 33:44
  a little bit of both. And Jared Goff, like you said, he
• 33:46
  is playing at an MVP candidate right or candidacy right now. And Sam they
• 33:52
  just have so many damn weapons it's just ridiculous. And from the charger side,
• 33:58
  Justin Herbert he played amazing, but it's kind of hard to judge judge
• 34:04
  Justin Herbert because he has those games where all, yeah, he does this,
• 34:07
  he has these great games here, but it's like it doesn't it doesn't
• 34:12
  translate to wins. Like stats they do matter, but at the end of
• 34:15
  the day, get some wins, you know what I mean. There's no
• 34:19
  reason for y'all to be four and five. Keenan Allen, he bawled.
• 34:22
  He was cooking up these damn dbs eleven for one hundred and seventy five.
• 34:27
  Not only concern I have, it's not necessarily what the offense or the run
• 34:32
  game, or or stopping the run. It's necessarily the receivers. Are you
• 34:37
  gonna be able to stop these big time receivers here because Keenan Allen he cooked
• 34:43
  these dbs. So we'll see if that's gonna be a problem right here.
• 34:46
  And then you go back a couple of weeks ago against Baltimore, these receivers
• 34:51
  were cooking their dbs, So we'll see. We'll see as far as if
• 34:55
  they could get that fixed. But even at that, that's not that much
• 35:00
  of a problem. When you're scoring this many points and you have different styles
• 35:02
  to win, it's not really a concern that I have. But anything else
• 35:08
  you take away from this game right here, Brandon Staley. Brandon Staley is
• 35:14
  supposed to be a defensive minded head coach. You get scored forty one points
• 35:19
  on your dome and you used to lose this football game. You're supposed to
• 35:22
  be one of the most aggressive coaches in the NFL, and he showed it.
• 35:25
  We watched two of the most aggressive coaches play each other in this game.
• 35:30
  Brandon Staley got outclassed. He got outclassed. He's a defensive coach and
• 35:34
  you got forty one points put on your head. There has to be a
• 35:37
  point in time where the Chargers ownership looks back in like, is this the
• 35:39
  guy for our team? Is this the guy? We're four and five,
• 35:44
  four years into Justin Herbert's career and we have nothing to show for it.
• 35:47
  I get you have Patrick Mahomes in your division. I get you have the
• 35:51
  Chiefs in your division. I get you play in the AFC, but get
• 35:53
  to an AFC championship, get to the divisional round, win some playoff games,
• 35:59
  make the playoff. You're not doing that the brand news Staley. If
• 36:01
  he doesn't, I don't think he'll be the Chargers head coach next year.
• 36:05
  I think there will be someone else in place. Yeah, yeah, no,
• 36:08
  I agree with you right there. In So these next games, they
• 36:13
  have the Packers, then they have the Ravens, then the Patriots, Broncos,
• 36:17
  Raiders, Bills, Broncos, and Chiefs. So all these games are
• 36:22
  iffy. Other than the so Chiefs I could confidently say that's a loss,
• 36:27
  Bills not so much share anymore, and the Ravens I could say that that's
• 36:30
  a loss. I feel like the rest of the games, as far as
• 36:32
  with the Packers, Patriots, Broncos, Raiders, Bills and then Broncos,
• 36:37
  I feel like those are all games that are up in the air where it's
• 36:40
  like and they I could see them winning that game, but I could also
• 36:44
  see them losing that game. So do you think that they could turn this
• 36:47
  around or do you think that's not happening. I think the Chargers will always
• 36:52
  do this to us where they'll be in the hunt at the end. So
• 36:55
  I think they will be in the hunt at the end. But this this
• 36:59
  conference is so close right now that I can't say definitively that they'll make the
• 37:04
  playoffs. Yeah, if if just one of these teams win the NFC,
• 37:07
  i'd say, Okay, well they have a chance. But AFC is so
• 37:10
  downloaded. All right, We're gonna move on into this next game where it
• 37:15
  was another game winning field goal. It was a three o'clock game in which
• 37:19
  it was Kyler Mury's return Welcome back Kyler Murray, in which the Cardinals they
• 37:24
  won twenty five to twenty three. Josh, what did you take away from
• 37:30
  this game? Right here? Arthur Smith did what we asked him to.
• 37:35
  Partly, he gave the ball to Bjean Robinson twenty two times, even return
• 37:40
  to punt. But dude, one one target in this game does not work
• 37:45
  for Bjeon Robinson, Dude, throw him the football out of the backfield.
• 37:50
  You'll get more plays. Thank you for the runs, thank you for the
• 37:52
  goal to go touchdown. Thank you. But I need more. I just
• 37:57
  need more. But as far as the Cardinals, Kyler Murray nineteen for thirty
• 38:00
  two, two hundred and thirty yards. He had one interception, but I'll
• 38:06
  give it he'll have one. I think they're still easing him into the game.
• 38:07
  But if this is easy Kyler Murray into the game, I'll take it.
• 38:10
  Because Kyler Murray looked good rushing the ball too though. That was my
• 38:14
  biggest thing watching if he could steal the mobile quarterback that we'll know Kyler Murray
• 38:19
  FORO Kyler Moore Murray for and he was six for thirty three and our rushing
• 38:22
  touchdown. It really it was really nice to see. But as far as
• 38:25
  these Falcons quarterbacks, twelve for twenty one and seventy yards and one touchdown combined,
• 38:31
  that is not going to get the job done. This team is lacking
• 38:35
  quarterback play and the Falcons should have knew it going into the season. They
• 38:37
  should have addressed it. Going into the season. There was many quarterbacks up
• 38:39
  for trade Lamar Jackson was up for trade, Aaron Rodgers was up for trade,
• 38:44
  and you didn't make a move for any of them. So, and
• 38:46
  you could have signed some good quarterbacks. Josh Dobbs is there. Josh Dobbins
• 38:50
  could have got signed to this team. There's a lot of quarterbacks. Jameis
• 38:52
  Winston could have got signed to this team. Garrett Carr could have got traded
• 38:55
  to this team. They knew what they had in weapons and they did not
• 39:00
  make a move for it, and that's on them. As far as the
• 39:01
  Cardinals, I think I think this is a really good sign. James Connor
• 39:05
  came back in full force. He looked good. Trey McBride is looking like
• 39:08
  the tight end Award winner he was in college, looking like the first round
• 39:12
  draft pick he was last year. I think Kla Murray is gonna unlock a
• 39:15
  lot of things for this team that we didn't see to start the season.
• 39:19
  Yeah, this Cardinals team, they're gonna they're gonna be really damn nice.
• 39:22
  And I don't think they're gonna win some games here down the stretch because they
• 39:28
  kind of have a little bit of a tougher schedule. But I'm just saying,
• 39:31
  don't let this team. Get Marvin Harrison Junior right here, ol Caler
• 39:36
  Murray with Marvin Harrison Junior is gonna be scary. Yeah, Oriels, this
• 39:39
  team is really gonna start cook cooking right here. Because Jonathan Gannon, as
• 39:45
  much as it was a people, they kind of questioned it. It's like,
• 39:47
  oh, defensive coach, now in the offensive heavy league, why are
• 39:52
  you doing that? But it looks it looks not too bad right here.
• 39:55
  It kind of reminds me of Dan campbell ty signing. I know Dan Campbell's
• 40:00
  on the offensive side, but it's like, oh, kind of questionable signing.
• 40:05
  But you're seeing flashes. They're competing. One thing that I could give
• 40:07
  them props toward is that they're competing every single game even though they're not winning
• 40:13
  these games. And I think this is for sure now, Kyler Murray,
• 40:16
  he's not going nowhere. I don't care if there's Caleb Williams on the board,
• 40:20
  Drake May, Michael Pennix, Kller Murray, he's not going nowhere.
• 40:23
  And that last play right there or not the last play, It was the
• 40:27
  last drive where it was third and ten and Kyler Murray he scrambled all the
• 40:31
  way to the left then scrambled all the way back and then got another damn
• 40:36
  ten yards for the first down, basically put him in field goal range.
• 40:39
  That's Kyler Murray. And if he keeps playing at this level, we're gonna
• 40:43
  get into this a little bit later. But he's already a top ten quarterback.
• 40:50
  Yeah, he has all the talent in the world. It's just a
• 40:52
  matter of what's up in the don't like what's in the what's in his head?
• 40:54
  Like how bad does he want to win football games? Because sometimes when
• 40:59
  you see Kyler Murray as like, I don't think he wants it bad enough.
• 41:01
  Yeah, and then but if he can. Kyler mur has all the
• 41:05
  talent in the world. There's a reason why he was undefeated in high school
• 41:07
  one four three straight state championship. There's a reason why he won the Heisman,
• 41:13
  and he won the Heisman right in college? Or am I tripping?
• 41:15
  Uh? Yeah, he won the Heisman right question? No? Actually,
• 41:22
  no, he didn't win the Heisman. I don't believe so, but I
• 41:27
  think he was in the he was in the race. He was in the
• 41:29
  race. No, he won in twenty eighteen. Oh, okay, okay,
• 41:31
  okay, Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking, Okay,
• 41:35
  no, uh so it was Kyler. I was Baker Baker Mayfield. Yeah,
• 41:43
  I was thinking of Baker the next year. That's what I was thinking
• 41:45
  of. But he still won too, Yeah, didn't he. Dang,
• 41:51
  that's a good question. I don't know if Baker won the highest Yeah,
• 41:53
  Baker won the Heisman. That's my biggest thing every time I make a bit,
• 41:57
  every time I picked the Buccaneers, like, who has the Heisman?
• 42:00
  He's Baker Mayfield. No, but but yeah, so Tyler, there's the
• 42:05
  reason why he was a number one overall draft pick. There was a reason
• 42:07
  why he was the Heisman winner. There's a reason he was. He has
• 42:09
  all the talent to make everything happen. There's a reason why he was a
• 42:12
  number one draft pick in baseball, like or top three draft pick in baseball.
• 42:16
  There was a reason because he has all the talent. It's just a
• 42:19
  matter of him putting it together and getting weapons around him. If you can
• 42:22
  get one that I don't care, if it's Marvin Harrison Junior. If you
• 42:23
  can get Roma Dunns, if you can get Troy Franklin, if you can
• 42:28
  get Amica Abuka, if you can get yeah, if you can get keyon
• 42:31
  Coleman to this football team along with Michael Wilson, along with Mark He's Brown,
• 42:35
  along with Ron Dell Moore. You can see a really good unit with
• 42:38
  Trey McBride and Zach Ertz. You can see a really good unit with this
• 42:43
  offensive line beaped up and beefed up, and they're gonna be back in the
• 42:45
  playoffs where they were two years ago. Yeah, And it's just always good
• 42:50
  to see just another or just great quarterback play across the league, just different
• 42:54
  quarterbacks, because you really don't want to see terrible quarterback play. But as
• 42:59
  far as with this next game right here, we had some great quarterback play
• 43:01
  right here, and which it was Joshua Dobbs. Shout out to that man
• 43:07
  the rocket scientists himself, just balling in another week in which the Vikings are
• 43:10
  on a hot streak and they beat the Saints twenty seven to nineteen. Josh
• 43:19
  what was your takeaways from this game? Joshua A. Dobbs is legit.
• 43:23
  Joshua Dobbs is not a joke, and he's getting Justin Jefferson back next week.
• 43:29
  Just think about that. So he's gonna he's not what Kirk Cousins is
• 43:32
  when it comes to patting the football. He's not going to push the ball
• 43:36
  down the field like Kirk Cousins. He's not going to complete as many passes
• 43:38
  as Kirk Cousins. But what he does is add value with his legs,
• 43:43
  and that's pretty scary when you have to when you can't account for your quarterback,
• 43:46
  when you can't account for the quarterback to scramble because you're dealing with t.
• 43:51
  J. Hawkinson, you're dealing with Jordan Addison, and you're dealing with
• 43:53
  Justin Jefferson. Because no one ever doubted this Minnesota Vikings offense. It was
• 43:58
  all about their defense, and their defense is starting to actually play really well.
• 44:00
  They held this New Orleans States team pretty good for most of the game
• 44:04
  until Famous Jamis comes in and starts throwing the ball over the downfield without a
• 44:07
  care in the world. But as far as Minnesota Vikings, Joshua Dobbs,
• 44:12
  if he can lead this team to a couple more wins, and I think
• 44:15
  they will because, like we've harped on this whole season, they have a
• 44:17
  kick schedule for the rest of the year, and they're getting the best receiver
• 44:22
  in all of football back next week or in the next two weeks. So
• 44:25
  I think the league, I think the NFC will watch out because they're gonna
• 44:30
  work their way back into the playoffs, I think, or they are in
• 44:31
  the playoffs right now, but they'll work their way and establish themselves in there.
• 44:36
  Yeah. No, like you're saying, the defense, this is just
• 44:40
  it's been the biggest thing in Brian Floor is just shout out to him because
• 44:44
  he's he was always a good defensive coach. I don't know about necessarily head
• 44:49
  coach, but as far as defensive coach, it's always been there and he's
• 44:52
  definitely brought that defense. This defense is totally different than what it was last
• 44:58
  year. And yeah, no, Josh Dobbs, he's legit right here.
• 45:02
  And I know we were saying he's establishing himself as a backup quarterback, but
• 45:07
  I think if he keeps playing like this, he's gonna find himself a starting
• 45:12
  job somewhere in the National Football League. Magic. Yeah, I could honestly
• 45:19
  see that. But there's always a team that's looking for a quarterback or a
• 45:23
  bridge quarterback where they're gonna draft one, just kind of in the no man's
• 45:28
  land. I feel like Josh Dobbs, he could kind of be in that
• 45:30
  situation. So yeah, and like you said, they have an easy schedule.
• 45:35
  They have the Broncos Necks, which I know, I know that they
• 45:39
  beat Buffalo, but they should win that game. Then you have the Bears.
• 45:43
  Then you have the Raiders, Bengals, Lions, Packers, and Lions.
• 45:47
  So hey, maybe the Lions they lose a game or two and then
• 45:52
  next thing you know, the Vikings are fighting for the division because they're only
• 45:55
  one win back, so they're not that far off. So who knows,
• 46:00
  maybe the Vikings, Vikings can, Vikings can mess around and win this down
• 46:06
  division. But as far as for the Saints, Derek Carr he got hurt.
• 46:12
  I don't know if you've heard anything from about Derek Carr, but I
• 46:15
  think they said the injuries like three to four weeks. So it's a shoulder
• 46:19
  and a concussion injury, so it's a mixture of two things. Yeah,
• 46:23
  So Jameis Winston, he's gonna be getting he's gonna be getting all the reps
• 46:28
  and honestly, okay, excuse my language here, but Jameis Winston he's just
• 46:32
  a definition of just fuck it, Like that's what he is. Like,
• 46:37
  Like that last touchdown that he threw. He literally scrambled all the way to
• 46:40
  the left. He saw two defenders right there, then he saw one receiver.
• 46:45
  He's like, no, I'm gonna throw it, and he's still threw
• 46:49
  it and they still scored. But that's what you get with Jameis Winston.
• 46:53
  Go ahead. Do you know what you need that with this team. You
• 46:57
  need it with players like Alvin Kamara. You need it with players who could
• 47:00
  take the top off like Chris ol Lave and Rashis Shaheed. You need it
• 47:02
  with Juwan Johnson coming back, and you need that. You need someone with
• 47:07
  a big playability for these big play receivers. Sir, Chris ol Lave is
• 47:10
  good along the middle, he's good, But where christ ol Lave really makes
• 47:15
  his money is street is just out running his man, just out beating the
• 47:19
  guy off man covers. This is where Chris al Lave makes all us.
• 47:22
  And then we saw that to really end the game, we saw Chris Olave
• 47:25
  had one catch the whole game with Derek Carr and it was literally the play
• 47:30
  where Derek Carr got hurt. That was literally that was literally the and then
• 47:35
  the rest of the game it was five catches for like sixty something yards and
• 47:37
  a touchdown the rest of the game, and that was all because Jameis Winston
• 47:40
  was just forcing the ball to him. Jameis Winston will do that. We
• 47:44
  saw it with Mike Evans, we saw it with Chris Godwin. We saw
• 47:46
  it. He's a really serviceable quarterback in the league. We've seen him be
• 47:50
  really good. We've seen him make Pro Bowls. You've also seen him throw
• 47:52
  thirty interceptions. So if he can limit that, if he can limit that,
• 47:55
  then I think I think the same team will It will really benefit the
• 48:00
  Saints team a lot more. And then but the thing is what I don't
• 48:02
  want to see with James Wiston is Alvin Kamara's usually really dropped. Because that
• 48:07
  was the thing last year with James Wilson or the two years ago, is
• 48:09
  when Alvin Kamara wasn't getting the touches. Because James Wiston likes to look down
• 48:14
  the field. I think if he, if he really wants to establish himself
• 48:16
  and really regain a job, is look for Alvin Kamara underneath. And this
• 48:21
  is where this team will be really deadly. Yeah. He again, he
• 48:25
  just like throwing the ball down the field. And I know you said he
• 48:29
  needs to limit the turnovers. But he was thirty for thirty and he's already
• 48:32
  on track this year. He has two touchdowns and two interceptions, so yeah,
• 48:36
  he's kind of following the same face. But as much as the Saints,
• 48:39
  they're not contenders, I feel like they're I don't think I could say
• 48:45
  this they're gonna make the playoffs because you have the Falcons next, then Lions,
• 48:49
  which is I think they're only tough game left because after that you have
• 48:52
  the Panthers, the Giants, the Rams, the Buccaneers, and Falcons.
• 48:59
  So all of these next games, it's basically it's basically the Lions, and
• 49:02
  then you have division games which can be up for grabs for any team right
• 49:07
  here. And like you said, Jamis Winson, he adds a different element
• 49:10
  to this team where where there they throw the ball down the field and possibly
• 49:15
  it could open up the run game right here. So who knows as far
• 49:20
  as with the Saints team and what they're gonna actually be able to do.
• 49:22
  But any last takeaways from this game, I know that's about it. All
• 49:28
  Right, Well, we're gonna go ahead and get into the twelve o'clock games,
• 49:31
  in which we're gonna start off with the San Francisco forty nine Ers versus
• 49:36
  the Jacksonville Jaguars and which the Niners. They look back after the bye week
• 49:39
  and they smacked the Jaguars thirty four to three. Rock Purty, he looked
• 49:45
  impressive in this game right here, Josh, what did you take away from
• 49:47
  this game? Chase Young? The Chase Young acquisition was smart by their part
• 49:57
  because the whole year they were not generating any pressure. Really, they only
• 50:00
  had like two and a half sacks on the season from the forty nine ers.
• 50:05
  That's all they had on the season. In this one game alone,
• 50:07
  five stacks, four tackles for lost, ten QB hits, forcing four turnovers,
• 50:12
  two fumbles, and two interceptions. That's how you win football games in
• 50:15
  the trenches, and they did that. They dominated a really good Jacksonville Jaguars
• 50:19
  team, which I have a lot of questions about here in a minute,
• 50:22
  But Christian McCaffrey continues to do SMC things. Brock Purty went back to being
• 50:25
  that game manager, went back to being when you're ahead with Rock Purty,
• 50:30
  Rock Purty plays really well. When you're in shootouts with rock Purty, that's
• 50:32
  where he makes mistakes. He went nineteen for twenty six, two ninety six,
• 50:36
  three touchdowns. Brand Now you got involved. But George Kittle had a
• 50:38
  game that he usually has every three games, three catches, one to sixteen
• 50:42
  to one touchdown. He gets, he gets, he gets the job done
• 50:45
  there in big plays like he usually does. And the forty nine ers they
• 50:49
  got back on track against a good football team, and it's a really it's
• 50:52
  really good to see it for them. I don't know about for you,
• 50:54
  but it's good to see it for them. Okay, Well, even though
• 51:00
  I'm a Cowboys fan, it's it's good to see that the Niners are back
• 51:04
  on track because I didn't think that it was gonna last for long. No,
• 51:07
  I didn't learn nothing from this game. Because when brock Purty has all
• 51:15
  of his supporting cast there, when he has Trent Williams, when he has
• 51:17
  Deebo, Samuel Brandon and I you Christian McCaffrey, he's gonna look like the
• 51:22
  brock Purty that we saw the first five games of the season. He's gonna
• 51:24
  look that dominant. And again, whenever the Niners they're ahead, whenever they
• 51:30
  have a positive game script, they're gonna do what they They're gonna do.
• 51:35
  And as much as this might may sound controversial, this team doesn't run through
• 51:39
  the offense. Even though they have a power heavy or powerhouse offense, they
• 51:44
  have a dynamic run game. This goes through the defense right here, you
• 51:47
  play through the defense. What they've been doing these past several games where they've
• 51:52
  kind of been on a losing stretch is that you've kind of been putting putting
• 51:55
  pressure on the offense where you want them to win this game. Let your
• 52:00
  defense win this game right here. Like you said, they wrecked Havoc against
• 52:05
  a good quarterback in Trevor Lawrence. And I know the Jaguars offense has been
• 52:08
  struggling, but they still have. They were on a five game win streak,
• 52:13
  so they can't be winning these games for no reason. So this is
• 52:15
  a good team that they beat, and it's good that they're getting back on
• 52:19
  schedule and again so we'll see. It's so the Eagles, Cowboys, Lions,
• 52:28
  Niners, they all kind of have tough games right here where we're gonna
• 52:32
  see who these teams really are. So after the Niners, they play the
• 52:37
  Buccaneers, they got the Seattle Seahawks, the Eagles Seahawks again. Then they
• 52:42
  have the Cardinals, then you have the Ravens. So you're gonna see what
• 52:46
  this team is made of down the stretch and what you're gonna and when whatever
• 52:52
  you see in late November December football, that's what you're gonna expect from them
• 52:55
  from the playoffs. So let's be honest. Compared to the the NFC,
• 53:00
  it's a mixture of four teams. You're it's not gonna be really anybody else.
• 53:05
  You're gonna see these four teams. They're all gonna possibly go all all
• 53:08
  head to head against each other. We've seen a couple of them already.
• 53:12
  But you're gonna see what these teams are made of. And it's just who's
• 53:15
  who's gonna be the first team there. That's that's really what it is.
• 53:20
  And as far as for the Jaguars, I know you wanted to talk about
• 53:22
  them, so I'll go ahead and let you give your opinion. First about
• 53:25
  the Jaguars, is Trevor Lawrence the generational guy that we thought he was.
• 53:35
  He was He was supposed to come in and really like be what Patrick Mahomes
• 53:40
  is he's really He asked who we expected Trevor Lawrence to be. He was
• 53:45
  one of the best high school recruits of all time. Coming out of Clemson,
• 53:51
  he was regarded and basically and your luck territory, Peyton Manning territory.
• 53:57
  For those who think, oh, and your luck, he didn't Andrew Luck
• 54:00
  and pay Manning as far as who they were, as already complete quarterbacks,
• 54:06
  as already nflready, the mind was there, the body was there. Trevor
• 54:10
  Lawrence was considered that, and we just haven't seen it really come fully together
• 54:16
  in this in his career yet. And this year he has really struggled.
• 54:21
  I understand that when you just look at the passing, it's it is twenty
• 54:27
  twenty twenty nine touchdowns and six interceptions. That's all right, that's okay,
• 54:30
  that's all right, stat line. But let's get to the rushing yard seven
• 54:34
  fumbles, seven fumbles. He is sixth interceptions, seven fumbles, that is
• 54:38
  thirteen turnovers on the season. Nine touchdowns, thirteen and thirteen turnovers. He
• 54:44
  hasn't recorded a rushing touchdown this year. And last year he was doing that
• 54:47
  a lot. He was rushing the ball a lot within ten yards, he
• 54:51
  was doing all that. He's not doing the same things he was doing last
• 54:52
  year. And we expected him to take a bigger jump this year because he
• 54:55
  has an Ingram, he has Etn, he has he has Christian Kirk,
• 55:00
  he as Calvin Really, he has a Jones. He has all these weapons.
• 55:04
  But we're just not saying this offense to come together. I don't know
• 55:06
  if it's a Trevor Lawrence thing or Doug Peterson thing, because we've seen this
• 55:08
  with Doug Peterson before. He's gone to a really high high, he's gone
• 55:13
  to a really low low. And I don't know if it's replicating himself in
• 55:15
  Jacksonville. But they really need to figure it out because they don't ever want
• 55:19
  to compete in his AFC. They're gonna need all hands on deck and they
• 55:22
  need Trevor Lawrence to really step up, and that just hasn't happened this year.
• 55:25
  Yeah no, that's I'm glad that you mentioned that because I was gonna
• 55:30
  mention that to you. But yeah, no, Trevor Lawrence, he he
• 55:34
  hasn't looked that good this year, and it looks like they This offense runs
• 55:38
  through Travis Etn right here. If Travis Etn is not having an effective game,
• 55:45
  then most likely they're not gonna win this game right here, because let's
• 55:51
  watch so this game right here, obviously they lost this game, but let's
• 55:55
  go back to the last game that they lost, which I believe it was
• 55:59
  a against the Kansas City Chiefs, and Travis DTN he didn't have the best
• 56:04
  game either twelve carries forty yards so or even the Texans game. I forgot
• 56:10
  about the Texans game right here, Travis ETN he had, well, he
• 56:15
  had a good game, eighty eight yards. But in these games where Travis
• 56:19
  etn it's not an effective game, like not necessarily looking at the box score,
• 56:23
  but effective run game. This offense isn't gonna be clicking. And I
• 56:27
  know the defense that had a letdown game right here, but I feel like
• 56:30
  there's always letdown games in the NFL from defenses. It's just it just happens
• 56:36
  because offenses are so down talented. You have the Niners coming off of a
• 56:38
  bye, so they're gonna fix up some things. But yeah, is Trevor
• 56:44
  Lawrence is he even the best quarterback in his own division? Let's be real
• 56:50
  here. I know we're not gonna talk about it yet, but is he
• 56:52
  even the best quarterback in his division? I can't talk about this game without
• 56:59
  getting in the list. Yeah, but It's just I don't know what to
• 57:02
  think of it. Man, Like we expect Trevor Lawrence to be this guy.
• 57:07
  I think what what me and you have been saying all this ever since
• 57:09
  we started doing it to the pods together, is like, oh, the
• 57:13
  Jags will much like we're saying with the Chiefs, they'll figure it out.
• 57:15
  They'll figure it out. The Jacks will figure it out. You know,
• 57:19
  they have all the talent to figure it out. That's what we've been saying.
• 57:22
  Correct. But as far as the Chiefs, Mahomes is still with a
• 57:28
  bye week top five and passing yards, he's second in touchdowns, he's fourth
• 57:32
  in rushing yards. He's doing all this. He's third in completion percentage throwing
• 57:38
  to these mediocre receivers. Mahomes is Mahomes. As far as the Jaguars,
• 57:43
  Jaguars have all the weapons in the world and they're not doing We're still waiting
• 57:47
  for them to figure it out. Mahomes waiting the Chiefs waiting to figure it
• 57:51
  out. I hate to talk about the Chiefs, but it's like a good
• 57:52
  comparison because we say we're waiting for them figured out. The Chiefs figuring it
• 57:57
  out is just scoring more for as far as the Jaguars them figuring out,
• 58:01
  is this passing game just as a whole figuring it out. Outside of Christian
• 58:05
  kirk On, no one is establishing himself as a good as a reliable option.
• 58:09
  And like you were saying, as far as with the Chiefs, because
• 58:13
  it is a really good comparison, but again, you have the better head
• 58:16
  coach, better quarterback Mahomes. He's still played at a he hasn't played up
• 58:22
  to the Mahomes standard that we're used to, but he's still been the best
• 58:24
  quarterback in the league. He has and it hasn't been as far as oh
• 58:30
  well, he hasn't been putting the ball on the money. It just been.
• 58:34
  There hasn't been separation or catches or whatever. And that could be a
• 58:37
  little bit of scheme or whatever. But Trevor Lawrence, he just it looks
• 58:42
  like he regressed. It looks like he regrests. Clearly it did. But
• 58:47
  man, I can't, man, well, we can't give it up.
• 58:51
  We can't talk about what we're going to talk about a little bit later.
• 58:52
  But I'm ready for it. But all right, next game we're gonna get
• 58:57
  into. It was the Cleveland Browns upsetting the Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore, in
• 59:02
  which I believe that the Browns. They were down, Yeah, they were
• 59:07
  down seventeen to thirty one in the fourth quarter and they came all the way
• 59:12
  back and won this game. So, Josh, what did you take away
• 59:16
  from this game right here? Was it a Ravens letdown game or was it
• 59:21
  like the Browns being legit? I think the Browns are allegitate defense. I'll
• 59:28
  start right there. The Browns are allegitate defense. So we'll establish that right
• 59:31
  there before I say anything else. The Ravens collapsed. The Ravens completely collapsed.
• 59:37
  They started the game off hot and they entit the game slow. Lamar
• 59:40
  Jackson let down another fourth quarter lead this year. All three of his losses
• 59:45
  have been fourth quarter leads that have been lost. That's the thing that you
• 59:47
  have with the Ravens, Sir. Lamar Jackson has played really well this year.
• 59:52
  He's played amazing this year NDP caliber this year. But where Lamar Jackson
• 59:55
  it always separates him is pushing the ball down the field. And I understand
• 1:00:00
  that that's not his fort that's not what he's known. But he's an elite
• 1:00:05
  passer. Lamar Jackson is an elite passer in the NFL, But when it
• 1:00:08
  comes down, can he lead a fourth quarter drive to win the game.
• 1:00:12
  I just haven't seen it in his career consistently, and I want to see
• 1:00:15
  that because this this week his highest receiver was Zay Flowers py for seventy three
• 1:00:22
  and six targets. But Zay Flower's done that all year. The next person,
• 1:00:25
  Mark Andrews two catches, Odell Beckham one catch, key In Mitchell one
• 1:00:29
  catch, Rashan Bateman two catches, Isaiah Likely one catch. He wasn't really
• 1:00:34
  establishing anything. He only had thirteen completions on the game. You're not going
• 1:00:37
  to win a football game with only thirteen completions in this time of the NFL.
• 1:00:40
  We're not playing in the nineties, we're not playing in the eighties.
• 1:00:44
  We're playing in the twenty twenties. The word passing his key, and you
• 1:00:47
  need that from your quarterback. You need that to win football games. On
• 1:00:51
  the other side, for Deshaun Watson, he looked atrocious in the first half.
• 1:00:54
  Deshaun Watson looked terrible. And I'm not saying he looked great in the
• 1:00:59
  second half either, because every time he did a drop back. You thought,
• 1:01:00
  oh my god, he's gonna he's gonna fuck this up. He's gonna
• 1:01:04
  fuck this up somehow. But he looked he looked alright. In the second
• 1:01:07
  half, he was completing a lot of passes, but they weren't really big
• 1:01:10
  gains. They were just like getting the ball to your playmakers, letting them
• 1:01:14
  do a little bit. They're letting them do a little bit. So I
• 1:01:16
  think this was the Browns continuing to be a good defense and the Ravens collapsing
• 1:01:22
  at the end. Yeah, and I've been the biggest I feel like I've
• 1:01:28
  been one of the biggest Lamar Jackson fans right here. But this this game,
• 1:01:31
  it falls on Lamar Jackson right here. It does. Even though that
• 1:01:37
  that pick that happened at it got tipped or I don't remember exactly it got
• 1:01:40
  tipped or it hit off of somebody. Still, you should be able to
• 1:01:45
  win this game. And you had a chance to go to go win this
• 1:01:47
  game right here several times. And another thing that I want to take away
• 1:01:52
  is that they weren't. Like I mentioned with Josh Allen, you can't have
• 1:01:57
  him being your leading rusher for the Teamamar Jackson as as dynamic as he is,
• 1:02:02
  he shouldn't be your leading rusher for your team. You should have involved
• 1:02:06
  I feel like those good things with Kiante Mitchell that you saw right here,
• 1:02:09
  but he only had three carries right here, and he had that one big
• 1:02:14
  touchdown, So those other other two runs, they weren't that effective. But
• 1:02:20
  they should be able to run the ball more. As far as with Gus
• 1:02:22
  Edwards and Kyante Mitchell, and yeah, that's been Lamar Jackson's biggest downfall.
• 1:02:29
  Can not necessarily I feel like people they've had it always mixed up as far
• 1:02:34
  as, oh, he's not an elite passer. No, he can't stretch
• 1:02:37
  the ball down the field like you said. And we're gonna see as far
• 1:02:40
  as this with these division games coming up for Lamar, he's gonna have to
• 1:02:45
  do that. He's gonna have to do that to win these games because you
• 1:02:49
  have the Bengals this Thursday night in a tough game that which both of these
• 1:02:52
  teams are gonna be pretty damn desperate because, like you mentioned earlier, they
• 1:02:58
  could fall out of the playoffs right here, as crazy as it sounds,
• 1:03:00
  they could fall out of the playoffs because you have the Bengals the Chargers,
• 1:03:05
  the Rams, the Jaguars, the Niners, the Dolphins, of Steelers.
• 1:03:08
  Only one of those games I could consider wins, which is the Rams.
• 1:03:13
  So the Ravens, they have a tough schedule, and in all of these
• 1:03:16
  games you have other than the Steelers, Other than the Steelers. That's the
• 1:03:24
  only game that I could see against a good team where you don't have definitively,
• 1:03:30
  definitively a better pass game or you have the better pass game. Sorry,
• 1:03:35
  I got it flip flipped around that you have the better pass game.
• 1:03:38
  So Lamar Jackson, he's gonna have to prove himself. Maybe it's going to
• 1:03:42
  prove him going up in the MVP candidacy and proven himself as a top quarterback,
• 1:03:46
  or it could say, oh, well, this is why they didn't
• 1:03:50
  want to pay Lamar Jackson. So we're gonna see what we get from him.
• 1:03:52
  And as far as with the Cleveland Browns, like you said, the
• 1:03:57
  Cleveland, the Cleveland Browns defense is just nasty, Miles Garrett. He's still
• 1:04:03
  making his case. As far as for being an MVP, I believe he
• 1:04:05
  had a sack and a half and Deshaun Watson so he had fourteen straight completions
• 1:04:12
  in the second half, and Deshaun Watson, all he has to do is
• 1:04:17
  not mess this up. That's all he has to do. You still have
• 1:04:20
  a good, good run game with Jerome Ford seventeen carries one hundred and seven
• 1:04:24
  yards, so he looked pretty effective against a really good defense against the Baltimore
• 1:04:28
  Ravens. So as long as you just get the players or get the ball
• 1:04:33
  to your playmakers, you could be a real contender. They what they remind
• 1:04:40
  me of is the San Francisco forty nine ers in the AFC. A strong
• 1:04:45
  defense, a strong run game. Some obviously not the skill players that the
• 1:04:50
  Niners have, but a little bit of a tier lower, but it could
• 1:04:55
  win you multiple games in the playoffs. So with the Browns, who they
• 1:05:00
  have next? They have the Steelers, Broncos, Rams, Jaguars, Bears,
• 1:05:06
  Texans, Jets, and Bengals. Do you think that the Browns they
• 1:05:10
  have a real shot of making this or winning this division? Right here?
• 1:05:15
  I mean I think they do, because let me get back to a point
• 1:05:18
  that I wanted to make. The Baltimore Ravens, all three of their losses
• 1:05:23
  have been to AFC opponents. There was a lot of people talking about how
• 1:05:28
  the Chiefs and Bengal, how the Ravens and Bengals were the favorites in the
• 1:05:30
  AFC. Well, if the Chiefs lose to the Eagles this week, they're
• 1:05:33
  still number one in the AFC because they only have one AFC loss. This
• 1:05:38
  is where the wins matter against the conference opponents and against division opponents. If
• 1:05:43
  they've already lost to the Steelers and the Browns both division opponents, so yes,
• 1:05:46
  they could very much well lose this division still because the Browns have the
• 1:05:49
  upper hand on them, No haven't. Yeah, the Browns have the upper
• 1:05:53
  hand on them, and they yeah, and they still have the upper hand
• 1:05:57
  on the Browns. So his kid just go any complete different way that you
• 1:06:00
  could see it in this division right now, as far as the Bengals,
• 1:06:04
  who are still two games behind, but all the people but above them,
• 1:06:09
  they between the Browns, Ravens, and Steelers, it's all up for grabs
• 1:06:13
  at this very moment because these losses that they're taking from each other aren't helping
• 1:06:16
  each other out. So it's like it's just a matter of them who wins
• 1:06:23
  the race to the end. Who wins the race to the end is the
• 1:06:25
  matter of what it comes down to yeah, and again, they're gonna play
• 1:06:30
  the Bengals this Thursday night, and which is going to be a very important
• 1:06:33
  game right here, because if the Ravens they lose two in a row,
• 1:06:36
  they could go from being the number one, number two team in the AFC
• 1:06:42
  to be in a wild card team. And you know how important home field
• 1:06:45
  advantage it is in the AFC, especially if you're having to go to Arrowhead
• 1:06:49
  because that's one of the best home stadiums in the league. But man,
• 1:06:55
  this AFC North is getting damn interesting because you don't know where this is in
• 1:07:00
  the head at all. But all right, let's go ahead and get into
• 1:07:05
  this next game right here. It is the Tennessee tight Ends versus the Tampa
• 1:07:10
  Bay Buccaneers. UH one of the more low now're scoring games this week in
• 1:07:15
  which it's Will Levis's second start and the Buccaneers they won twenty to six.
• 1:07:21
  Baker Mayfield, he had a nice game, Josh, What did you take
• 1:07:25
  away from this one? Mike Evans continues to look like the future Hall of
• 1:07:30
  Famer that he is. He is on pace once again for a thousand yards.
• 1:07:32
  I believe he has like seven hundred and twenty three yards on the season
• 1:07:35
  or something like that. He had six for one, forty three in a
• 1:07:40
  touchdown. He had one really ugly touchdown drop. I saw a tweet that
• 1:07:45
  was funny, like I would have faked the acl tear, like just for
• 1:07:47
  a second, just it's just to make an excuse why I dropped the ball.
• 1:07:51
  But he had an amazing game. Outside of that, he continues his
• 1:07:56
  can He actually continues to showcase who he is because there was a lot of
• 1:08:00
  doubts going into this year with Baker Mayfield. With this thing, it shows
• 1:08:04
  that Mike Evans can play with just about anybody. And he's in a contract
• 1:08:09
  year and I think he's really showing out because he knows, like I might
• 1:08:12
  not be on the Buccaneers next year, there's gonna be a contender that wants
• 1:08:15
  me. So he's showing that he still gots it. And as far as
• 1:08:17
  Baker Mayfield, he continues to have a really great year. I sent you
• 1:08:24
  I sent you a tweet earlier where he had fourteen touchdowns to five interceptions and
• 1:08:29
  twenty one hundred yards on the season. That's a good stat line from who
• 1:08:32
  they thought was gonna be a throwaway year for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers because the
• 1:08:35
  Baker Mayfield. I don't think they forgot who I think that everyone forgot who
• 1:08:39
  Baker Mayfield was, and I think they forgot who he was dealing with.
• 1:08:42
  One of the most confident, one of the most cocky, one of the
• 1:08:44
  most one of the most electric quarterbacks that a lot of people have ever seen.
• 1:08:47
  And he can do that. He can he can dictate an offense,
• 1:08:50
  he can run an offense. I think the Browns are missing him a lot
• 1:08:54
  right now. I think the Panthers are probably missing him a lot right now
• 1:08:58
  because they never really gave him a chance. Kevin stuff Stefanski never caught whatever
• 1:09:02
  is Stefanski never gave him a chance as the quarterback immediately as in as he
• 1:09:06
  got there, he won a Baker Mayfield out and he got to the Panthers,
• 1:09:11
  they didn't really give him a chance. Like raceiving Bryce this year isn't
• 1:09:14
  atrocious team. They they didn't he didn't have weapons, and now you see
• 1:09:17
  Baker Mayfield with weapons. Sure, he's four and five, but it's not
• 1:09:20
  like he's losing these games by a lot like he's They're they're they're in the
• 1:09:25
  games with Baker Mayfield where Shaun White looked good. He's still he doesn't look
• 1:09:30
  great on the running game as per usual, twenty for fifty one, but
• 1:09:33
  where he really shines the passing game two for forty seven and a touchdown,
• 1:09:38
  and and that's that's a good recipe. And if they can continue this,
• 1:09:42
  I don't know what. I haven't really looked at their schedule going forward,
• 1:09:45
  but their division is really tight. Two games, two wins, their first
• 1:09:47
  place, one win and a sink loss. I think I think their first
• 1:09:50
  place again or something their first place again, something like that. So it's
• 1:09:55
  a race. It's a race to win that that mediocre division, and I
• 1:09:59
  think they could probably end up with it. Yeah, so these two,
• 1:10:03
  like you were saying, it's not like Baker Mayfield he's losing these games.
• 1:10:06
  He's he's proven himself to be a damn good quarterback. And against the Texans
• 1:10:12
  again he led a game winning drive right there, and then against the Falcons
• 1:10:16
  it was a nip and tuck close game right there, which you could say
• 1:10:20
  instead of them being four and five, they could be six and three right
• 1:10:24
  now. So that's a whole different ballgame. And Mike Evans, he's QB
• 1:10:30
  proof. I feel like what DeAndre Hopkins he was doing in Houston. That's
• 1:10:34
  what Mike Evans he was he's doing right now in Tampa Bay. What this
• 1:10:39
  is eight seven or eight straight seasons of a of one thousand plus yards.
• 1:10:44
  So it's it's just ridiculous that he does this every single time. And I
• 1:10:50
  don't know if we're talking about this on Ara off here as far as Tony
• 1:10:54
  Pollard and Rashad White and Rashad White being a better fantasy football player. Honestly,
• 1:11:00
  I think he may be the better running back in general. I'm just
• 1:11:02
  being real. I'm being real here this I'll let you yeah, No,
• 1:11:12
  I'm just I'm just being real here. And just Baker Mayfields, this is
• 1:11:17
  what he does. He likes to sling the ball around the yard, and
• 1:11:20
  he's been given the full keys to the offense and that's what that's what he
• 1:11:25
  does. He he he throws the ball all over the field and he'll make
• 1:11:30
  some plays sometimes maybe some bad ones, but more often than not some good
• 1:11:32
  plays. And the Titans, ugh uh, this is just nasty offense.
• 1:11:40
  Still, I know that they're sticking with Mayo man Will Lewis as their starting
• 1:11:45
  quarterback, but again, offensive line is not the best offensive line A make
• 1:11:50
  sure of that goes on. I'm Will Levis and them, But again,
• 1:11:58
  this offense is real boring to talk about. There's nothing really I could take
• 1:12:00
  away from the tie inside. Anything you want to take I think, take
• 1:12:04
  Yeah, why is your rookie quarterback still learning how to play in the NFL?
• 1:12:10
  Have thirty nine pass attempts while you're rushing game with one of the greatest
• 1:12:13
  running backs of all time and a really valuable rookie and Taj Spears only have
• 1:12:17
  sixteen carries for forty two yards. That doesn't make any sense. Take the
• 1:12:21
  ball out of Will Levis's hands, like, let him learn, let him.
• 1:12:27
  I get that he has the arm talent, but he's still learning and
• 1:12:30
  one of his biggest things was turning over the football. He only had he
• 1:12:32
  had one interception, But thirty nine passing attempts in this game does not cut
• 1:12:36
  it. He needs to have help from his running backs. And I get
• 1:12:40
  the offensive line is bad, but still give them the ball. Still let
• 1:12:44
  them try to make plays, because that's just not going to help you win
• 1:12:46
  games. When your quarterback who is a rookie throws thirty nine times in one
• 1:12:49
  game. I think the reason that they did that is because how the Buccaneers
• 1:12:56
  their weakness isn't the front seven. It's more of the it's more of the
• 1:13:00
  back end that's their weakest part. And I'm pretty sure after watching the Texans
• 1:13:05
  film, they're like, Okay, well c J. Stroud a rookie quarterback
• 1:13:10
  who's obviously on a different stratosphere as Will Levis, but we're gonna let him
• 1:13:14
  sling the ball too. Yeah, but Stroud has played nine games this year,
• 1:13:18
  Like come yeah, yeah, I know. But I'm just saying,
• 1:13:23
  you're just thinking, all right, well, we let him sling the ball
• 1:13:26
  against Pittsburgh, which is arguably one of the better defenses or best defenses in
• 1:13:30
  the league, So why can't you sling against Tampa Bay? Just obviously went
• 1:13:33
  wrong? But all right, let's go ahead and get into this next game
• 1:13:38
  right here, in which it was actually the Pittsburgh Steelers winning against the Green
• 1:13:44
  Bay Packers twenty three to nineteen, in which Jordan Love had an opportunity late
• 1:13:48
  to win the ball game, but of course he did it. Josh,
• 1:13:53
  what did you take away from this game? The Steelers are a run team.
• 1:13:59
  They are run team. I saw a graphic of Kenny Pickett's passing,
• 1:14:05
  there was one pass above twenty yards and the rest were within ten yards to
• 1:14:11
  the outside or Deakin Dugs to the running backs. That's what his passing.
• 1:14:15
  That's what the passing looks like. He had fourteen completions in this game,
• 1:14:18
  won twenty six. He's not going to be the starting quarterback next year for
• 1:14:21
  the Pittsburgh Steelers. I I'm foreshadowing it right now. He's or what is
• 1:14:28
  it forecasting it? Whatever it is right now, he won't be the starting
• 1:14:30
  quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers next year. But Jalen Warren and Jalen Warren looked
• 1:14:35
  uber efficient fifteen for one oh one and a touchdown. Nausea Harris is kind
• 1:14:42
  of coming back to life. I guess sixteen for eighty two in a touchdown.
• 1:14:45
  I'm a Nausea Harris hater, so I don't I don't think I will
• 1:14:48
  really harp on him too much. I will admit it, but he's starting
• 1:14:51
  to look a lot better than he has in the beginning of the season.
• 1:14:57
  As far as the receivers, George Pickens continues to be a McQueen. Three
• 1:15:00
  catches forty five yards. I don't think he'll be on the Steelers next year.
• 1:15:04
  I really don't think he will be. But Deontay Johnson, get him
• 1:15:09
  the ball more. Get Deontay Johnson the ball more. One catch is not
• 1:15:12
  going to cut it for your number one receiver. It's not going to cut
• 1:15:15
  it. So you got if you want to see things really happen for the
• 1:15:17
  Steelers team and compete within the division, get your get your stars the ball,
• 1:15:23
  much like we harp on for a lot of other teams. For the
• 1:15:26
  Packers, Jordan Love had ups and downs in this game. It was it
• 1:15:30
  was really evident. Two interceptions to two touchdowns. The turnovers need to really
• 1:15:35
  cut down. And then the rushing game wasn't getting going. I think that's
• 1:15:39
  what really hurt this football team. Yeah. And as far as Jordan Love
• 1:15:46
  this, this game is a perfect example of how this season has been going
• 1:15:49
  so far. High ups at the very beginning, and then at the very
• 1:15:55
  end of the game, very bad and obviously looking like a real and I
• 1:16:01
  know we're talking about I think some of the other games great. This was
• 1:16:05
  an example of great quarterback play. This is a great example of mediocre quarterback
• 1:16:10
  play right here. If you wanted to watch some mediocre quarterbacks. Turn on
• 1:16:14
  the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers and this is exactly what you saw.
• 1:16:17
  And as far as from the Steelers side, what I've been mentioning, Jalen
• 1:16:21
  Mooren is the number one running back and he should be getting more touches than
• 1:16:26
  Najie Harris, and I know he didn't get more touches than Naji Harris.
• 1:16:30
  As far as rushing, I don't know about receptions. Well, I know,
• 1:16:34
  well kind of even. But if you even get Jalen Warren just split
• 1:16:39
  even with Naje Harris, he's in a show. He is the more effective
• 1:16:43
  back, more efficient and you saw that you're able to run the ball for
• 1:16:46
  over two hundred yards. So I know this Packers defense isn't the best defense,
• 1:16:50
  but still running over two hundred yard that's a pretty damn impressive feet right
• 1:16:56
  there. And the Pittsburgh Steelers defense is a Pittsburgh Steelers defen Mike Tomlin,
• 1:17:00
  I don't know how he does it year after year hasn't been under five hundred
• 1:17:05
  at all his entire coaching career, but he's proven that again. He should
• 1:17:12
  be in the coaching or our Coach of the Year candidates. Because what he
• 1:17:17
  does with this team, it's the only thing that's holding this team back is
• 1:17:21
  quarterback. That's the only team. So it would be this is what the
• 1:17:27
  Atlanta Falcons would hope to be right now. Having star players. You're actually
• 1:17:31
  getting your star players the ball, having obviously a better defense, but you
• 1:17:35
  actually have a coach that that's the only thing right there. They actually have
• 1:17:40
  a coach and that's why they're six and three, and the Falcons they're whatever.
• 1:17:45
  But the Steelers, who they have next, We're gonna see who this
• 1:17:48
  team really is because they have a couple of division games next. So they
• 1:17:51
  have the Cleveland Browns them, Yeah, then you have them, Then you
• 1:18:00
  have against the Bengals in Cincinnati, then the Cardinals Patriots Colts, which I
• 1:18:03
  believe they should win those games. Then you have the Bengals again in Pittsburgh
• 1:18:09
  in Seattle, and then the Baltimore Ravens. So are the Pittsburgh Steelers going
• 1:18:14
  to make the playoffs? I think we will see three teams from this decision
• 1:18:19
  to make the playoffs. I think it's a matter of which ones. Yeah,
• 1:18:24
  who's gonna be the odd man out right here? You can't really tell
• 1:18:28
  the Cincinnati Bengals. Well, all right, since you mentioned it, let's
• 1:18:33
  go ahead and get into this game right here. Hey, that's a that's
• 1:18:36
  a perfect transition right there. Finally we have a good one. But the
• 1:18:41
  Cincinnati Bengals they lost thirty to twenty seven, in which c. J.
• 1:18:45
  Stroud does it again, leads a game winning drive, walk off field goal,
• 1:18:49
  a thirty eight yard field goal. Josh, what did you take away
• 1:18:54
  from this game? Since you mentioned the Bengals are going to miss the playoffs,
• 1:18:57
  go ahead, let me hear what you gotta say. The Texans established
• 1:19:02
  a run game and that's what led to this win. And I think thirty
• 1:19:06
  for one to fifty and a touchdown from Devin Singletary is insane. You you
• 1:19:11
  run the ball down the Bengals throat, and you let see de Stroud thinking
• 1:19:15
  really pick them apart because they have to worry about this balanced offense. I
• 1:19:20
  think that's what helped him out really against the Bengals quite a bit. He's
• 1:19:26
  really getting a lot of people involved. Noah Brown seven catches, Dalton Schultz
• 1:19:30
  four catches, Tankdale six catches, John Matchi two catches, and you get
• 1:19:34
  your weapons involved. It's a recipe for wins. As for Joe Burrow,
• 1:19:38
  too ugly interceptions to end the game. He had two drives where he could
• 1:19:43
  have took this this game by the reins and ran away with it, but
• 1:19:46
  he didn't. He over he threw a high ball to who was it.
• 1:19:51
  I can't remember exactly who it was he threw. I think yeah, he
• 1:19:59
  threw high ball to one of the receivers, went through their hands. Interception
• 1:20:02
  he threw. And then the next one he threw an ugly interception within ten
• 1:20:08
  yards of the touchdown of the end zone he threw. It's just you need
• 1:20:12
  to get these those done to win the games. He didn't have a bad
• 1:20:15
  game. He played really well. Joe Burrow plays like Joe Burrow in this
• 1:20:17
  game. Three forty seven, two touchdowns, but those two picks really hurt
• 1:20:19
  them. And then Tyler Boyd had the ugliest uglier dropped the Mike Evans.
• 1:20:26
  If he catches that touchdown, they win this football game. If he catches
• 1:20:29
  that touchdown, they win this football game. They would I don't know,
• 1:20:33
  well, the Bengals. The Bengals would have had thirty four points and the
• 1:20:36
  Texans would have had to score a touchdown. They they only think the Bengals
• 1:20:42
  defense is STOPPINGJ. Stroud. I think, I think, I think the
• 1:20:46
  probability of them winning with a touchdown is like eighty five percent to what they
• 1:20:53
  had not doing with only scoring that field goal. You know. Yeah,
• 1:20:59
  No, I get what you say saying, but the way that CJ.
• 1:21:00
  Stroud he's been playing this dude, he isn't a rookie. He's not playing
• 1:21:04
  like a rookie. He's playing like a DS He's a vetter right now.
• 1:21:08
  It's like this is his fifth or sixth year. And again, a balanced
• 1:21:12
  a balanced run game. And Noel Brown jesus, uh, you couldn't be
• 1:21:16
  doing this on the Cowboys right here, like what the hell? Man?
• 1:21:18
  Like? Yeah, he was with Cooper Rush, I'll give you that,
• 1:21:25
  But again, CJ. Shroud, this is what makes the difference between a
• 1:21:30
  franchise quarterback right here and just a quarterback that's just good because a franchise quarterback
• 1:21:38
  says, all right, I'm gonna just take the pieces that that I have
• 1:21:41
  with me. I don't care if it's Noel Brown, Dlpthin Shoult, Steven
• 1:21:44
  Singletary, Damian Pierce. No offense to them. They're still good players,
• 1:21:47
  but they're not high level players. He's saying, all right, well you
• 1:21:50
  guys, y'all are just gonna come along the ride and we're gonna make a
• 1:21:55
  run for the playoffs already our first year because we're that damn good. And
• 1:22:00
  I know I've been throwing out coach of the Year, but Demico Ryans leading
• 1:22:03
  this team to five and four in which this team had four wins last year,
• 1:22:08
  and you pretty much have the same exact team other than Tank, Dell,
• 1:22:11
  will Anderson and CJ. Shroud, and he just brought in a culture
• 1:22:15
  that it looks like the Houston Texans they're going to be competent for the next
• 1:22:19
  ten years, especially if you have this franchise quarterback. And man, I've
• 1:22:26
  been high on the Bengals this early on when they were what they were one
• 1:22:30
  and three something like that. I said, Oh, they're going to get
• 1:22:32
  it together, and it looked like it last week. Oh okay, Well,
• 1:22:35
  the Bengals are starting to get it back and this is their third year
• 1:22:39
  of falling five and four in a row. But the only difference from these
• 1:22:43
  past two years is that this AFC is way tougher now, and this division
• 1:22:47
  is a lot tougher. That's that's the biggest difference. So you can't be
• 1:22:53
  there's not going to be an easier path to the playoffs. Now, you're
• 1:22:57
  not going to You're not going to pull off another there's seven eight wins and
• 1:23:00
  gets eleven twelve wins like you have the past few years. Luckily, at
• 1:23:04
  best you may end up nine to eight or ten and seven if if you
• 1:23:10
  really start clicking. But the Bengals they're in big trouble right now. And
• 1:23:14
  I'm gonna go ahead and say this right now. If the Cincinnati Bengals they
• 1:23:18
  lose to the Baltimore Ravens, they're done. They're not making the playoffs.
• 1:23:23
  They're done. I'm saying that right now. I don't care what happens the
• 1:23:26
  rest of the year. They're done. So I don't know how you feel
• 1:23:29
  about that coming from the Chiefs fan here. So I feel amazing about it
• 1:23:33
  because that's just less one comparison of anyone's trying to compare Joe Burrow or Josh
• 1:23:40
  Allen to Patrick Mahomes like. I'm tired of it. I'm tired of it,
• 1:23:43
  like no other person in the NFL has more besides Aaron Rodgers, more
• 1:23:46
  MVPs, but no one has more Super Bowls, no one has more Super
• 1:23:51
  Bowl MVPs, no one has the most career percentages, none of that.
• 1:23:57
  I'm tired of hearing about it, so I kind of hope to being with
• 1:23:59
  film it. That's just me. I'll give you one stat though, so
• 1:24:06
  since twenty eighteen, four hundred yard passing yards or most passing yards or most
• 1:24:12
  four hundred yard passing game since twenty eighteen, Mahomes has ten. The other
• 1:24:17
  quarterback that has ten is Dak Prescott. But all right, let's let's not
• 1:24:20
  talk about that. Let's here, let's talk about the game. Let's talk
• 1:24:25
  about the games. You don't want to hear my revolt. We could save
• 1:24:31
  that for a second. But the Texans, I think that they're going to
• 1:24:36
  make the playoffs right here, old statement, But they're going to make the
• 1:24:41
  playoffs. They have the Cardinals next, then the Jaguars, Broncos, Jets,
• 1:24:45
  tight Ends, Browns, tight Ends, and Colts. They have the
• 1:24:48
  easier road. They have the easier road for sure than the Bengals. The
• 1:24:51
  Bengals go through a gamlet. They have I believe the Raiders, I mean
• 1:24:56
  not the Raiders. They have the Ravens. They still have to play the
• 1:24:59
  Browns a game. They still have to play the Steelers again. They have
• 1:25:01
  the Chiefs. Yeah, they have the Jags and the Colts. So they
• 1:25:05
  maybe walk away with three wins. They maybe walk away with all the wins.
• 1:25:10
  We don't know. But their gomlet is a lot harder than the Texas
• 1:25:13
  gomlin going for it. And the big thing that helps them is that they
• 1:25:18
  have the win over the Bengals, So they have the heads a head matchup
• 1:25:21
  in which that's probably gonna end up paying big play paying off as big dividends,
• 1:25:28
  beating this team in which the Bengals. They should have won this game.
• 1:25:30
  Joe Burrow, it was. It was something that he shouldn't have done.
• 1:25:34
  It was a stupid mistake, that's what it was. But all right,
• 1:25:40
  let's go ahead and get into the second of the last game. It
• 1:25:43
  was the early Sunday morning game, the Frankfurt game, the Colts they beat
• 1:25:48
  the Patriots ten to six, and which the Patriots they benched Mac Jones for
• 1:25:53
  the last drive of the game. Josh, what did you take away from
• 1:25:58
  this game? I know this game. It wasn't the most interesting game.
• 1:26:01
  Right here, I'm not even gonna lie. I'm so glad I just rewatched
• 1:26:05
  the game and didn't wake up at eight thirty in the morning to watch this
• 1:26:09
  terrible game. I'm so glad I didn't wake up and watch it because I
• 1:26:12
  haven't missed the A international game this year, and I'm so glad I didn't
• 1:26:15
  wake up for this one because I just knew in my heart of hearts this
• 1:26:18
  was gonna be a terrible football game. And you know, I think it's
• 1:26:24
  kind of you. Your quarterback plays the whole entire game, but then you
• 1:26:29
  get to the fourth to the final drive to lead it, you bench him,
• 1:26:32
  You bench him, You just take that. That's got to be demoralizing.
• 1:26:35
  That's gotta be. That's gotta be like the one of the worst feelings
• 1:26:39
  of the NFL as a quarterback in any level of competition. To get taken
• 1:26:44
  out on the final drive when you played the entire game. That just shows
• 1:26:46
  how much confidence they have in you, and it's zero. They put in
• 1:26:50
  your backup quarterback. They put in your backup who ended up throwing the interception
• 1:26:55
  on a fake on a fake spike, on a fake spike. They threw
• 1:26:59
  him in. So that's got it all. I don't know if you saw
• 1:27:04
  the mac Jones interview were afterwards. They said, Uh, how did you
• 1:27:09
  feel about being benched? Uh? Does that hurt your confidence? And he
• 1:27:13
  said something like, well, I gotta show or I got to show my
• 1:27:17
  my coaches and the players around me that I'm capable enough of winning. So
• 1:27:21
  that shows that that's the moral lies and enough. But go ahead on mat.
• 1:27:26
  I just wanted to say that real quick. But the bright spots Johnathan
• 1:27:30
  Taylor, No, there's not. There's no bright spots in this game.
• 1:27:33
  Jonathan Taylor twenty three for sixty nine touchdown. That's all right. Uh,
• 1:27:40
  he's just establishing himself as the clear number one back now for the Annapolis Colts.
• 1:27:45
  Zach Moss had one carry, so he's completely phased out of this offense.
• 1:27:48
  Like he's done. I thought it was surprising that they played Josh Downson
• 1:27:51
  this game, given that he was dealing with the injury over the last two
• 1:27:55
  weeks and they he was really close to being out. Gardner Minshew came back
• 1:27:58
  to Earth. But it's gonna happen to every player that plays the Patriots.
• 1:28:00
  This defense is going to continue to ball out. This defense will have this
• 1:28:04
  team in games. They'll give them an opportunity, and it's really surprising that
• 1:28:08
  they're still doing it. They just released Jack Jones today. JC Jackson didn't
• 1:28:12
  play in this game. Christian Gogol's top season Matthew Judon out for this season.
• 1:28:15
  It's really surprising that they're still able to put together these type of defensive
• 1:28:18
  performances. But this game is just chalk it up. Let's just move off
• 1:28:25
  to the next thing. Yeah, let's move on to the next thing.
• 1:28:27
  It doesn't really Colts still could make the playoffs. They're five and five.
• 1:28:30
  Let's not forget about that. The Patriots will not be making the playoffs this
• 1:28:34
  year. I agree with you one hundred percent, Josh. Let's go and
• 1:28:39
  get into the Thursday night football game. It was the same thing, Josh.
• 1:28:45
  You want to give a quick recap on this game right here? Act
• 1:28:51
  was. This was the first game that I watched Bryce Young, like in
• 1:28:55
  real time, like in live action, like I've just re I'm not gonna
• 1:28:59
  say watch the Panthers. I'm not gonna sit and watch the Panthers. I
• 1:29:01
  watched the Saints and Panthers for like the first half until the the Rams and
• 1:29:06
  Bengals came on. I think that was the other game. Yeah, that
• 1:29:10
  was the only time I watched them this year. But I don't think Bryce
• 1:29:14
  Young looks bad. I think he you can see the talent, you can
• 1:29:17
  you can see it, but when you have one second to make a decision,
• 1:29:21
  you're not gonna really be great in this league. So I think if
• 1:29:27
  you need to put weapons around him, you need to let him learn.
• 1:29:30
  You need to get an offensive line, and you need to actually develop some
• 1:29:33
  offense for him. You need to, like, instead of having these deep
• 1:29:38
  play action plays, get these receivers open on some sweeps, get them open
• 1:29:43
  on some drags. Everything allow him to allow him to actually, like run
• 1:29:46
  an offense we saw earlier in the season with Adam Thielen. The big players
• 1:29:49
  weren't happening in this game. I understand the Bears are probably playing to the
• 1:29:54
  best of their abilities because if the Panthers lose this game, that just helps
• 1:29:58
  the Bears have a number one overall draft pick even more so. So that's
• 1:30:03
  what I want to see from the Panthers. I want to see them give
• 1:30:04
  this. I think this season is gonna hurt because CJ. Stroud is bowling
• 1:30:11
  out so much, but Bryce Young and also Bryce Young being picked before c
• 1:30:15
  J. Stroud is gonna be a big talk. But look at what Bryce
• 1:30:19
  Young is dealing with compared to with CJ. Stroud is dealing with. This
• 1:30:23
  is not and day at a difference. I get the Texans for bad last
• 1:30:27
  year, but they have a completely better team than the Panthers have. As
• 1:30:30
  far as the Bears, Deontay Foreman continues to be to to be a serviceable
• 1:30:38
  running back twenty one for eighty and a touchdown. He kind of like rubbed
• 1:30:43
  it in the Panthers base for letting him go and realizing that Miles standards was
• 1:30:47
  not the answer and you could have just kept me on the team for a
• 1:30:49
  cheaper deal. But you know, it's whatever. Tyson Bagend, this might
• 1:30:54
  be his last team as a last game as a starter. He played all
• 1:30:57
  right, twenty for thirty three, one sixty two, DJ more five for
• 1:31:00
  fifty eight. This is his recipe with Tyson Badget. It's just five for
• 1:31:03
  fifty eight games. I think last game was five for fifty four, So
• 1:31:06
  you know it's just yeah, a game we could just chalk up Montes.
• 1:31:10
  What actually look good though, Montes, what was generating a lot of pass
• 1:31:13
  thrust is he was he was really crushing, but it was also against the
• 1:31:16
  Carolina Panthers, so I'm not taking much away from that either. We'll just
• 1:31:20
  wait and see who's gonna be. Yeah, which team, which one of
• 1:31:26
  Who these teams are gonna pick next year? Who these teams are gonna pick
• 1:31:28
  in the draft? Yeah, pretty much. And before we get onto this
• 1:31:32
  next one, I just wanted to say, I feel like this, this
• 1:31:36
  is a weird comparison right here, but I feel like I don't know if
• 1:31:40
  it was the twenty twenty draft or twenty twenty one draft. I feel like
• 1:31:44
  Bryce Young is gonna be what Tua was because he's gonna get the offensive pieces
• 1:31:48
  around him and he's gonna look so much better. But he has a ceiling
• 1:31:55
  compared to c J. Stroud, who I feel like, not necessarily just
• 1:31:59
  in Herbert, but he's the other quarterback in that draft class. Or no,
• 1:32:02
  let's say Joe Burrow, because Joe Burrow was in that draft class,
• 1:32:05
  and I'm gonna say that c J. Stroud is Joe Burrow where he makes
• 1:32:10
  an impact right away and you can see the differences between the two because let's
• 1:32:13
  be real, c J. Stroud and Joe Burrow kind of on the same
• 1:32:16
  level as far as rookie year, you saw improvement Bryce Young, tou Takoby
• 1:32:20
  Lowell kind of on the same level. You need the weapons around them.
• 1:32:24
  You could see as much as Bryce Young he did have. He did have
• 1:32:28
  some great plays right here. Like I said, the difference between and not
• 1:32:32
  necessarily a franchise quarterback. I think Bryce Young could be a franchise quarterback,
• 1:32:36
  but that top tier echelon is that you could come in right away, Bam.
• 1:32:41
  Make a difference compared to Bryce Young, He's gonna need those weapons around
• 1:32:45
  him, that skill around him, which is not necessarily also comes down to
• 1:32:48
  physical ability. Yeah, uh huh yeah, And he's just as much as
• 1:32:54
  Bryce Young. He has the ability as much as it as much as it
• 1:32:59
  sucks his hype matter. He could barely see over the offensive line and him
• 1:33:01
  being that small. That's why I kind of compared him to Tua. Why
• 1:33:05
  do you think Tua had a boat on another twenty thirty pounds this offseason?
• 1:33:10
  Why do you think he has to have quick intermediate throws because he could barely
• 1:33:14
  see over the line. Anticipation throws so and the army strenk isn't really there
• 1:33:18
  for Tua so as compared to Joe Burrow, like Tua Tua needs to get
• 1:33:25
  the ball out quick. He can't sit back in the pocket and let that
• 1:33:28
  thing rip like that's not who he is. The ball floats. The ball
• 1:33:30
  floats, and you see that from Bryce Young too. Bryce Young has a
• 1:33:32
  better arm I think then Tua, like not as accuracy, but as like
• 1:33:36
  hitting you in stride and stuff like that. But like you said, the
• 1:33:41
  weapons need to be there. You need to have the same equal liverum.
• 1:33:45
  I guess, like to the whole thing, like there has to be some
• 1:33:47
  some sort of connection there. Yeah. No, I just wanted to give
• 1:33:54
  that that quick or that quick opinion real quick. But all right, what
• 1:33:59
  I've been wanted to talk about for a little bit, I'm ready for We
• 1:34:02
  kind of been hinting at it, and so I think last week we kind
• 1:34:08
  of hinted at it as far as top ten quarterbacks in the league. And
• 1:34:13
  it's kind of a mixture of a little bit of everything, as far as
• 1:34:16
  posts like as far as your last season kind of success, this season's success,
• 1:34:21
  how you've been playing record, So it's a mixture of everything, and
• 1:34:27
  I guess we could go like one in one, two, and two.
• 1:34:30
  You know what I mean. We could go back and forth on that,
• 1:34:31
  so okay, for number one, obviously we have the same answer right here,
• 1:34:35
  right obviously, Yeah, right, I hope I'm Patrick Mahomes. No,
• 1:34:44
  Patrick Mahomes. I'll let you explain Patrick Mahomes right here. I'll let
• 1:34:47
  you. I'll let you talk about your man. Mahomes is in the category
• 1:34:51
  of Lebron James, where no matter what he will, they will always be
• 1:34:56
  number one. They will always be number one because of what they bring.
• 1:35:00
  Mahomes is the best quarterback, the best player in football, and this year
• 1:35:03
  I think he's showing it. Okay, last year he did the same,
• 1:35:06
  he did a lot too, but this year he's showing it kind of as
• 1:35:11
  much as ever because the web I get. Travis Kelce is the greatest tighten
• 1:35:15
  considered by a lot of people. Might not he might be number two,
• 1:35:19
  but he is considered to be the greatest Titan in history of football. But
• 1:35:25
  he is a thirty four and you see it when you watch these games.
• 1:35:29
  You can see not the regression because he's still getting his but as far as
• 1:35:35
  the explosiveness from Travis Kelce is not there as it usually is and these receivers,
• 1:35:42
  like we say, are not getting open. They just aren't getting open.
• 1:35:45
  And he's doing the best he can with what he has. He's gone
• 1:35:48
  two twenty nine for three thirty four sixty eight completion percentage, which is third
• 1:35:55
  in a third or fourth in the NFL. Yeah, he's still with the
• 1:35:59
  bye week four th in the NFL with passing yard seventeen touchdowns. He has
• 1:36:02
  done quite a bit of interceptions, but I don't I think that's a lot
• 1:36:05
  of hopefully they make a play, Hopefully they make a play on this balls
• 1:36:10
  and he throws it and then he's He's fourth in rushing yards for two hundred
• 1:36:14
  and fifty eight with the seventy to two record clearly in the AFC. He
• 1:36:17
  continues to do Patrick Mahomes things. And this year what I have seen from
• 1:36:20
  Patrick Mahomes is a lot more than what I've seen in other years, which
• 1:36:24
  it comes down when to when the play breaks down, he is escaping the
• 1:36:28
  pocket and running for that first down, and more than often than not he
• 1:36:30
  is getting it because he's doing he is doing more than what he has has
• 1:36:35
  had to do in the past couple of years. As as the best quarterback
• 1:36:39
  in football. Yeah, I agree with you one hundred percent. He's just
• 1:36:45
  it's just he's adding different elements to his game which you didn't think he could
• 1:36:48
  to could do, which it's ridiculous. Twenty seven twenty seven hundred total yards,
• 1:36:54
  seventeen touchdowns, seventy two point four QBR, which is fourth in the
• 1:36:59
  league. It he's just that damn good. It's again, that's a perfect
• 1:37:02
  comparison right there, Lebron. It's no really no debates right here. But
• 1:37:09
  I guess this is where we're gonna start disagreeing right here. Let's go ahead
• 1:37:12
  and get into the nitty gritty because this is pretty obvious. Patrick Mahomes being
• 1:37:15
  number one. So who do you have as your second best quarterback in the
• 1:37:17
  league right now? Oh, you're gonna hate this. I have Jalen Hurts
• 1:37:23
  as the second best quarterback in the NFL this year. Jalen Hurts. I'm
• 1:37:28
  not necessarily saying that he's blowing you away with his passing game. He's not.
• 1:37:31
  He's just not. But that's what you get with rushing quarterbacks. They're
• 1:37:34
  not gonna blow you away with because they can do something else. And where
• 1:37:38
  Jalen Hurts is the most valuable to his team is that he has two thirty
• 1:37:42
  four seven passing yard, shittching touchdowns, eight interceptions, not gonna, not
• 1:37:46
  amazing, not amazing, but it's just right there. It's good enough.
• 1:37:50
  But where he really makes his money. You know, Jalen Hurts is in
• 1:37:54
  this, in this tous push, in this brother lye shove. Yeah,
• 1:37:58
  no, you you see it. Other quarterbacks the NFL, they just don't
• 1:38:00
  get it done. But because Jalen Hurts is who he is, three sixteen
• 1:38:05
  for seven touchdowns, seven touchdowns rushing the football, and he's not even rushing
• 1:38:10
  the football. He's just there because how strong he is, how valuable he
• 1:38:13
  is to this Eagles team shows without Jalen Hurts, this team isn't as successful.
• 1:38:17
  I promise you they are not sure. You can say Garner minshewe looked
• 1:38:20
  alright last year, but he obviously didn't look that great because they still lost
• 1:38:26
  to the Cowboys. Where Jalen Hurts like, I'm not saying they win last
• 1:38:29
  year, right, Yeah, Like Jalen Hurts offers, this team allows this
• 1:38:35
  team to do what they do best, and that to run the football,
• 1:38:39
  establish the ground game, because there still is that fear that when that fourth
• 1:38:42
  and one, when that third and one, when that fourth and goal with
• 1:38:45
  one yard to go, Jalen Hurts is gonna get that touchdown because he has
• 1:38:48
  he can squat six hundred and sixty five pounds like the dude is a freak
• 1:38:54
  athlete. And then and then he has unlocked AJ Brown. AJ Brown and
• 1:38:58
  Tennessee wasn't doing anyse things. Jalen Hurts can throw a deep ball. He's
• 1:39:02
  not as accurate as many, but he can get it there. And he's
• 1:39:04
  opening up the game for these receivers. And that's why I have him as
• 1:39:06
  the number two player and the number one seam in the NFL eight and one.
• 1:39:11
  That's Jalen Hurts. That's why I have Jalen Hurts number two. So
• 1:39:15
  actually you thought I was going to disagree with you right here, but so
• 1:39:19
  before the Sunday night games, because I know we talk about it like Friday
• 1:39:24
  and Saturday as far as what we're going to talk about. But after that
• 1:39:27
  Sunday game, I originally had Lamar Jackson too, but now I have Jalen
• 1:39:32
  Hurts two as well, especially after this bye week. Jalen Hurts again,
• 1:39:39
  he's finding ways to win. I know, there's turnovers. He has eleven
• 1:39:42
  total turnovers, but again, find a way to win. He's sixty eight
• 1:39:46
  point nine completion percentage, seventh best QBR in the league. So he's doing
• 1:39:53
  what he has to do. And again he has that secret weapon in the
• 1:39:57
  touch push. As much as people, oh, have it banned? Have
• 1:40:00
  it not banned? Or whatever it is, it's you can't stop it,
• 1:40:04
  you can't stop it. He does whatever he can. And I think what's
• 1:40:10
  kind of been hindering him a little bit is his knee injury. Now you
• 1:40:13
  have the bye week kind of recover a little bit. You're gonna see how
• 1:40:16
  scary this Eagles offense is because he's pushing the ball more down the field.
• 1:40:20
  Last year he did do that, but now they open the floodgates for him.
• 1:40:25
  Nick Sirianni and Brian Johnson, I believe that's offensive coordinator. They said,
• 1:40:30
  all right, let's let Jalen Hurts rip the ball since he's not going
• 1:40:31
  to be running the ball as much. But now you're gonna see the dual
• 1:40:34
  threat quarterback right here and how explosive he really is. So yeah, surprisingly
• 1:40:42
  there's no disagreements right here. I have Jalen Hurts as the second best quarterback
• 1:40:45
  in the league. But this is where we might start disagreeing right here.
• 1:40:48
  Okay, the third best quarterback in the league, who do you got,
• 1:40:51
  Josh Lamar Jackson. Lamar Jackson had an off game this last week, but
• 1:40:58
  he is still an amazing year. Again, just like Jalen Hurts, they
• 1:41:02
  are rushing quarterbacks. They are not gonna blow you away with their passing stats
• 1:41:08
  all the time. Lamar Jackson twenty one seventy seven, ten touchdowns, five
• 1:41:12
  interceptions. But where Lamar Jackson gets his name gets the Heisman, where he's
• 1:41:17
  the most feared, one of the most feared quarterbacks in the NFL, is
• 1:41:20
  because on the ground he is the most elite in the history of the NFL.
• 1:41:25
  Four hundred and eighty one rushing yards leading the NFL as always, and
• 1:41:30
  five rushing touchdowns, and he is leading this team to where they haven't been
• 1:41:34
  in quite a few They make the playoffs, they're always consistently up there.
• 1:41:38
  But they have been considered by many to be better than the Chiefs, to
• 1:41:42
  be better than the Eagles, to probably be the best team in the NFL.
• 1:41:45
  Barring this last weekend where bad games will happen, he has to me
• 1:41:49
  been consistently the second or the third best player in the NFL or as a
• 1:41:56
  quarterback this year. And this is where he ranks in my rankings for quarterbacks
• 1:41:59
  so far up to the point is third. So I'm telling you after this
• 1:42:05
  game, it was hard to rank as far as right here, but my
• 1:42:10
  third quarterback right here is Dakota Rayne Prescott. I'm telling you this past month,
• 1:42:15
  he has been on an absolute terror and it is ridiculous what he is
• 1:42:18
  doing. And at first you could say, okay, well, the mobility
• 1:42:23
  that the mobility or the dual threat that Lamar Jackson has could put the edge
• 1:42:29
  over dak Prescott. You can't say that no more. Dak Prescott, what
• 1:42:31
  he's been doing with his legs extending in the pocket, he's adding a different
• 1:42:35
  element to this offense. And ever since that San Francisco forty nine Ers game,
• 1:42:41
  he's just been dynamic. He's had a one to twenty five passer rating,
• 1:42:44
  and this is something that looks sustainable. He's finally trusting his legs.
• 1:42:48
  And he also hasn't had a running game as of late. So let alone
• 1:42:55
  whenever he does get a running game, because eventually this is going to get
• 1:42:59
  established, he's gonna look even more dynamic. So and you have one of
• 1:43:04
  right. Another reason why I put Lamar Jackson underneath Dak Prescott is because you
• 1:43:11
  have CD Lamb right there. You have a clear cut number one receiver.
• 1:43:15
  Not necessarily that the Baltimore receivers are bad, but you have a receiver where
• 1:43:18
  you can like, Okay, well he's I'm not trying to get in the
• 1:43:21
  rankings right here for CD, but he's a top five receiver, so you
• 1:43:25
  know you could count on him. So would you say that Mark Andrews is
• 1:43:30
  considered the same tier as CD Lamb would be? I say that right there,
• 1:43:35
  But I feel like CD has a higher ceiling because CD he could play
• 1:43:40
  in the spot and in the outside. Compared to Mark Andrews, he's just
• 1:43:45
  inside the numbers, if that makes sense. You're not gonna really go obviously
• 1:43:48
  deep thread every once in a while, but he's more inside the numbers,
• 1:43:51
  that's the kind of guy. But CD he's more everywhere. So Dak Prescott,
• 1:43:57
  again, what he's been doing with his legs is at a different factor
• 1:44:00
  and it's time to put him in the damn MVP conversation. Like as much
• 1:44:05
  as Oh, well, he's gonna be facing bad teams these next two to
• 1:44:09
  three games. The stats men lie, women lie, but stats they don't
• 1:44:15
  lie. They don't lie at all. And he's been proving this consistently time
• 1:44:19
  after time after time. So yeah, Dak Prescott, he's my third rated
• 1:44:24
  quarterback in the league. So for number four, who do you got?
• 1:44:28
  Josh the Golden Boy, the Cali Kid, Jared Goff. Jared Goff is
• 1:44:33
  number four for me. He is two twenty three three, twenty six two
• 1:44:38
  five o seven fourteen touchdowns, five interceptions, and he has added two rushing
• 1:44:42
  touchdowns with his legs. His numbers are going to blow you away. They're
• 1:44:45
  not. That's but that's due to him having a run game. That's due
• 1:44:49
  to him I have. I'm sure he has one of the good best oppensive
• 1:44:53
  lines. But also this team they rely on Jared Goff quite a bit.
• 1:44:57
  Without Jared Goff, this Lion's team is not where they are. I guarantee
• 1:45:00
  you that Jared Goff has really had a career resurgence with the Detroit Lions,
• 1:45:04
  and he is slowly itching his way into being in the upper echelon of quarterbacks.
• 1:45:10
  I'm not saying in the top tier, because there's only one tier.
• 1:45:12
  With Patrick Howls, he's on the second tier. But I think he's in
• 1:45:15
  that third in the top of that, or he's in the second tier with
• 1:45:17
  a lot of these quarterbacks like with the Jeden Hurts, with the jack with
• 1:45:20
  the Lamark Jackson, with the with who I'm gonna get to in a minute,
• 1:45:24
  I think he's in that second tier now. I think he has established
• 1:45:27
  himself and this year leading his team to seven and two. Even in that
• 1:45:31
  loss of the Seahawks, it was a shootout. He let the shootout.
• 1:45:34
  He got into a shootout. He can get into shootouts with the best of
• 1:45:38
  them. Versus the Baltimore Ravens, that was just a good defense taking advantage
• 1:45:42
  of that offense who wasn't expecting it. But as far he can get into
• 1:45:45
  the shootout with the best of them, we saw it. We literally saw
• 1:45:47
  it this weekend versus Justin Herbert. Justin Herbert gets into shootouts. That's literally
• 1:45:51
  Justin Herbert. He's a shootout quarterback. He got into the shootout with one
• 1:45:55
  of the best of them, he and he took him the distance and he
• 1:45:58
  won that football game. He has a number one receiver like you said with
• 1:46:00
  Cede Lamb, he has Almon Ross Saint Brown, he has Sam Laporter.
• 1:46:04
  He can lead this team to places I don't think they've been before, and
• 1:46:08
  he will. Man. So number four I'm gonna have to put obviously,
• 1:46:15
  Lamar Action Jackson, right, Lamar Action Jackson. I don't know why.
• 1:46:20
  That was a tongue twister for me. And again, the reason why he
• 1:46:24
  dropped down is because, like you, like we mentioned earlier, as far
• 1:46:28
  as him throwing the ball down the field, and another problem that he's been
• 1:46:31
  having, he's kind of been having a fumble problem right here. Five interceptions,
• 1:46:34
  six fumbles. So that's a mixture of you being a mobile quarterback just
• 1:46:41
  trying to do too much right there. But he's still he's still up there
• 1:46:45
  top of echelon quarterbacks. I know he has ten passing touchdowns, but he
• 1:46:49
  has five rushing touchdowns. So kind of mixed up right there. One of
• 1:46:54
  the best teams in the league, Cleveland again against a tough defense. And
• 1:47:00
  again you could say, oh, well, Lamar Jackson, he's lost these
• 1:47:03
  games, these three games. But you could also say, well, all
• 1:47:08
  right, they lost these three cleaves, they've lost these three close games.
• 1:47:13
  It could be flipped around if A doesn't happen or B doesn't happen, or
• 1:47:16
  whatever the case is. So that's why Lamar is my fourth rated quarterback.
• 1:47:21
  Who's your fifth rated quarterback? Dakota Rayne Prescott is my fourth quarterback listed in
• 1:47:30
  this list. I was debating back and forth with him with CJ. Stroud,
• 1:47:36
  but Dak Prescott had looked amazing this past month and it's gonna and I
• 1:47:41
  think it will continue. The only thing that I'm lacking with Dak Prescott is
• 1:47:45
  the signature wins so far this year. That's why I have Jared Goff above.
• 1:47:49
  Jared Goff had some signature wins versus the Chiefs, versus a couple other
• 1:47:53
  good teams. Dak Prescott, I want him to beat one of the top
• 1:47:57
  teams in the NFC. I need to see it. I need to see
• 1:47:59
  him beat the Eagles when they play the Eagles. I need him. I
• 1:48:02
  needed him to beat the Lions when they play the Lions this year. I
• 1:48:05
  need that for him to be a little bit higher for me because as compared
• 1:48:11
  to these other quarterbacks, I guess besides, like all these quarterbacks above him,
• 1:48:14
  they're established. We have seen an eight year sample size from Dak Prescott,
• 1:48:18
  and it's nothing new. We're not seeing anything new that we haven't seen
• 1:48:21
  before from Dak Prescott. It's just the matter can Dak Prescott get the job
• 1:48:27
  done? I'm sure as Cowboys fans as anybody, it's the same question you
• 1:48:30
  have every year. Can he get the job done? And that's what I
• 1:48:32
  want to see from him. He is getting the job done so far against
• 1:48:35
  okay teams. And I'm not gonna sit here and say he hasn't been good
• 1:48:39
  teams, because he has being good teams, but these teams are on the
• 1:48:43
  Cowboys level. He's looking amazing tifteen seventeen touchdowns, sixth interceptions, one thirty
• 1:48:49
  five two touchdowns on the ground. I want to see more from Dak Prescott.
• 1:48:54
  I gig, that's a lot to ask, but not as more as
• 1:48:56
  a statistical category. I want to see more when it comes to beating the
• 1:48:59
  good seems. But Dak Prescott has looked amazing so far up to this point,
• 1:49:02
  over this last month especially, and that's why he is number five for
• 1:49:06
  me in my rankings. Well, all right, I just want to give
• 1:49:11
  you credit because most people that are not objective and saying Dak Prescott, He's
• 1:49:15
  not even a top ten quarterback. I was discussing with somebody or on Twitter
• 1:49:19
  with that with somebody, So just appreciate you for actually being objective here.
• 1:49:25
  So but number five, I have Jared Goff. Jared Goff. The reason
• 1:49:30
  why I have him number five again good quarterback, has a signature win winning
• 1:49:34
  the shootout. But again I have him number five because all of those four
• 1:49:40
  quarterbacks above him have the mobility factor where Jared Golf he he where he can't
• 1:49:45
  be. Yeah, that's where he lacks. It's not mobile. So that's
• 1:49:50
  the only thing right there. Again, he does have the signature win over
• 1:49:54
  the Chargers over the Chiefs, but it's just that mobility as far as just
• 1:50:00
  taking it to another level because Dak Prescott, Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson,
• 1:50:02
  Patrick Mahomes, they could extend the play, they could run in for a
• 1:50:06
  touchdown. So it just adds a different element. No disrespect to Jared Goff.
• 1:50:11
  Again, he's my fifth graded quarterback and he is in the MVP conversation.
• 1:50:17
  I think he could be easily. You could easily talk myself into being
• 1:50:23
  an MVP candidate or the favorite for the MVP right now, so because he
• 1:50:28
  has the stats to back it up. So yeah, no, Jared Goff.
• 1:50:30
  Him being the fifth rated quarterback, I feel like even if you really
• 1:50:35
  wanted to, he could be argued as high as number two because how impressive
• 1:50:41
  he has looked this entire year. But yeah, no, that's why I
• 1:50:45
  have Jared Goff number five because just the mobility it stands out. But number
• 1:50:49
  six right here, I feel like this is where it's gonna start scrambling everywhere.
• 1:50:54
  You could have a B, C or D. So who do you
• 1:50:58
  have for number six? I think number six is where we should both agree
• 1:51:01
  on at least I hope so. C J. Stroud. C J.
• 1:51:06
  Stroud is the is six on my list so far this year. He is
• 1:51:11
  doing things we have never seen from a rookie before. And Dak Prescott had
• 1:51:14
  a great rookie year, but it was not like this. It was not
• 1:51:16
  up to this level. He had Zeke in that backfield, he had Dez
• 1:51:20
  Bryant, he had all this. C J. Stroud doesn't have any of
• 1:51:24
  that. He does not have those elite players. He doesn't he doesn't have
• 1:51:27
  the offensive line that he had. Bro. Yeah, bro, Yeah,
• 1:51:32
  it's not the same it's not the same. C J. Shroud has a
• 1:51:36
  good team around him, but it's not up to levels of these quarterbacks that
• 1:51:41
  are above him. And he's doing a lot with this with this team.
• 1:51:44
  Twenty six twenty six passing yards second in the NFL right now, fifteen touchdowns,
• 1:51:48
  two interceptions. Fifteen touchdowns and two interceptions. Give me that all day
• 1:51:53
  of the week, every day of the week, twenty four to seven,
• 1:51:55
  three sixty five. I want that from my quarterback. He's not very mobile,
• 1:51:59
  and I don't think they want him to be. I think they want
• 1:52:00
  to keep him healthy. He has let this team, like we said earlier,
• 1:52:04
  from four wins last year to five wins already this year in nine games.
• 1:52:09
  I think he will continue to lead this team to great things. I
• 1:52:12
  am not ready to say that they will. Probably they will make the playoffs.
• 1:52:14
  But he is the clear cut offensive rookie of the year. He is
• 1:52:18
  the clear cut number one quarterback in his draft class this year, and he
• 1:52:23
  is. He has worked his way into number six for me. Yeah,
• 1:52:27
  no, I have CJ. Stroud number six as well, especially after because
• 1:52:31
  that was debating as far as six to seven or not Mahomes. C J.
• 1:52:35
  Stroud Joe Burrow. I don't know who to put him between there.
• 1:52:40
  I kind of gave benefit of the doubts of Joe Burrow, so I had
• 1:52:43
  him number six. But I was like, no, after what CJ.
• 1:52:45
  Stroud did, and this is consecutively, because you could even argue the hour
• 1:52:50
  Joe he outplayed Joe Burrow, and they could even be six and three right
• 1:52:55
  now because CJ. Stroud again, he's proven to be a clutch quarterback because
• 1:53:00
  he did this against Atlanta. It's just Atlanta got the ball last. Then
• 1:53:02
  he did this against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and then he does it again
• 1:53:08
  against Cincinnati Bengals. And these are hostile environments right here. Rookie quarterback,
• 1:53:13
  and I feel like, as far as for a rookie season, he's already
• 1:53:15
  had a better year than Dak Prescott. I feel like he's already on the
• 1:53:18
  RG three Andrew Luck type trajectory as far as for a rookie year, and
• 1:53:25
  he's only going to get better. Just imagine when he actually does have weapons.
• 1:53:28
  Tank Dell. He is a nice piece, but wait till you actually
• 1:53:31
  get good weapons around them, And there's gonna be people in for agencies saying,
• 1:53:35
  oh, well, that's a franchise quarterback. I want to play for
• 1:53:38
  him. So he's only going to be getting better. And it's it's scary
• 1:53:43
  to see because seventeen total touchdowns, I know for fumbles, but it's kind
• 1:53:48
  of been stripsack fumboard situations. But yeah, no, CJ. Stroud,
• 1:53:53
  he's he's proved to be just that dude this year and just he's backpacking the
• 1:53:59
  Texans, that's what he really do, just saying, put me on y'alls
• 1:54:01
  back, let's go, let's go make a playoff run. But all right,
• 1:54:05
  I'm pretty sure right here. Well, I don't know. We always
• 1:54:10
  find a way to agree on things more majority of the time. So who
• 1:54:14
  do you have as your seventh best quarterback? I originally before two nine's game,
• 1:54:17
  had Josh Allen at number seven. That is not the case anymore.
• 1:54:21
  I have Tua has number seven. Now, Tua has looked good this year.
• 1:54:29
  But the thing with Tua, why I have him at number seven.
• 1:54:32
  Sure, he's six and three. I give him the benefit of the doubt,
• 1:54:35
  but without these weapons, I don't think Tua will be a good is
• 1:54:39
  a great quarterback? I don't think I think he's okay quarterback and he doesn't
• 1:54:43
  have this signature wins. They have not beaten a team above five hundred,
• 1:54:45
  and that will be the case until they do. Until they do, I
• 1:54:48
  will not put him any higher. I will not put him any higher than
• 1:54:51
  seven because he needs to beat the likes of the Chiefs, and he needs
• 1:54:55
  to beat the likes of the Eagles, and he needs to beat the likes
• 1:54:58
  of the Bills. He has not been in a team above five hundred,
• 1:55:00
  and that has to happen without Tyreek Hill. I don't know who Tua is
• 1:55:03
  Without Jaylen Wattall, I don't know who Tua is. That's the things what
• 1:55:08
  I've seen from other quarterbacks. I've seen them play without good receivers, and
• 1:55:11
  they have done good without good receivers. Tua will not move higher until I
• 1:55:15
  see more from him, until I see him get these signature wins. But
• 1:55:17
  as far, he has had a good year this year two thousand nine passing
• 1:55:20
  yards, nineteen touchdowns and seven interceptions. Team adds no value with his legs,
• 1:55:25
  much like Jared Goff. But that's why I have him number seven,
• 1:55:30
  and I just need to see some some wins. I just need to see
• 1:55:32
  some better wins from him. Yeah, and so number seven. This is
• 1:55:39
  where I put Joe Burrow on the list. Joe Burrow originally he was before
• 1:55:44
  the season started, he was the second best quarterback in my rankings, So
• 1:55:47
  he fell a lot, and especially after yesterday, just those two bad interceptions.
• 1:55:56
  Him being seven, I feel like that's a big drop off. And
• 1:56:00
  still somehow he's having a still an okay year. Two and eighty nine total
• 1:56:05
  yards, fourteen touchdowns, seven total turnovers, something you want to clean up
• 1:56:10
  a little bit, but sixty seven percent completion percentage. He still has the
• 1:56:16
  weapons weapons around him, so he should improve. I don't know as far
• 1:56:23
  as record wide wise, but as far as his quarterback play, it should
• 1:56:28
  it should improve. So Joe Burrow be number seven. That's just me giving
• 1:56:33
  him the benefit of the doubt of making it too back to back AFC championship
• 1:56:38
  games, making it to the Super Bowl appearances, h dueling them with Patrick
• 1:56:42
  Mahomes, and I know this year you could say, oh, well,
• 1:56:45
  it's a different story, but he has shown flashes this year where he could
• 1:56:48
  be that second best quarterback in the league. So it's just last week he
• 1:56:54
  didn't. He didn't. He didn't show that. So this is why I
• 1:56:58
  have Joe Burrow the seventh best quarter back in the league. And all right,
• 1:57:01
  so you said you had Josh Allen number seven. So is Josh Allen
• 1:57:04
  going to be number eight? No, Joe Burrow will be number eight for
• 1:57:09
  me. Now. Joe Burrow had a slow start to the year, like
• 1:57:13
  we've all noticed. Like we've all said, he's had twenty eight passing yards,
• 1:57:18
  fourteen touchdowns and six interceptions on this season. The thing is people want
• 1:57:21
  to I get he was hurt at the beginning of the year, but that's
• 1:57:25
  no excuse to start off the way he did. I don't think that's an
• 1:57:28
  excuse. I've seen Mahomes, who he's compared too often, win three straight
• 1:57:31
  games on the high ankle spring and the Super Bowl. I don't want to
• 1:57:33
  hear any excuses he beat. He beat the talent, the best team on
• 1:57:38
  the other side in the Eagles with a high ankle spring. I think Joe
• 1:57:41
  Burrow got given a lot of excuses to start the season. Oh, his
• 1:57:45
  line is bad. He hasn't had offensive line in his whole career. It's
• 1:57:46
  be something he should be used to. But there's no excuse to be five
• 1:57:50
  and four. You're supposed to be one of the best players in the NFL,
• 1:57:55
  his team supposed to be. This is the reason why you're down at
• 1:57:58
  number eight. For me, I like you. I had him at number
• 1:58:00
  two to start the season. He has been my consensus number two quarterback in
• 1:58:03
  the NFL ever since he has got into the start that he did. But
• 1:58:09
  so far he's looked all right the past couple of games. He's really turned
• 1:58:13
  it on in this past month. If if he didn't have this bad game
• 1:58:15
  this week, I think a lot of people will be arguing Dak or Joe
• 1:58:18
  Burrow who has had the better month. I think that that would be a
• 1:58:21
  real argument to happen. But since he since he had this last game,
• 1:58:26
  he's had three forty seven, two touchdowns, two interceptions. But that loss
• 1:58:30
  hurts a lot. He is five and five and four. Now that that's
• 1:58:33
  in that division, it's going to be really tough for the for the ride
• 1:58:36
  going back into the playoffs. So I just need to see more. I
• 1:58:40
  need to see this team really get unlocked, and I think they will.
• 1:58:43
  They have the offensive power, it's just a matter of can they win the
• 1:58:45
  games. Yeah. Yeah, Again, that's why Joe Burrow him taking a
• 1:58:51
  big drop is crazy. If you'd have told me by week, week ten,
• 1:58:55
  week eleven that Joe Burrow he's being ranked seven with the aids on a
• 1:59:00
  quarterback drink and you could think, WHOA, what the what the hell happened?
• 1:59:03
  But for number eight, as much as I hate to put him right
• 1:59:06
  here, especially after this atrocious game tonight, I have to put Josh Allen
• 1:59:13
  here. Josh Allen. It's just all the talent he has leading the league
• 1:59:19
  or as far as quarterbacks and total yards and forty six yards, twenty six
• 1:59:24
  touchdowns, thirteen total turnovers, which is a terrible stat right there. You're
• 1:59:30
  going, you're going two touchdowns to one turnover, which something you don't want
• 1:59:35
  to have, but still fourth in QBR seventy point three completion percentage. You
• 1:59:41
  have a big arm, you you have some mobility. Just the biggest problem
• 1:59:45
  with Josh Allen is he doesn't take the checkdowns. He's always trying to make
• 1:59:49
  the big play, and that's what gets him into trouble if he doesn't do
• 1:59:54
  that, which I've said this. I said this like two three weeks ago.
• 1:59:58
  Ever since that Mahome shootout, he feels like he has to outduel the
• 2:00:02
  other person on the other side of the field, and which this is what
• 2:00:05
  different This is what makes Mahomes Jalen hurts even Dak Prescott right now better because
• 2:00:14
  they're taking the smart plays, they're taking the checkdowns, they're running when they
• 2:00:16
  have to run. They're not doing too much. They're like, Okay,
• 2:00:20
  well, obviously every once in a while they're gonna turn the ball over,
• 2:00:24
  but they're gonna do what they have to do. They're not gonna be reckless
• 2:00:27
  with it. Josh Allen is so reckless. But number why I have a
• 2:00:30
  number eight is because his peaks can be up to the Mahomes level, but
• 2:00:34
  his valleys it could be it could be some top or fifteen sixteen quarterback play
• 2:00:43
  area, which is not good. You wanted, you wanted to be a
• 2:00:45
  little bit more consistent. Even if he was somewhere in between, he would
• 2:00:49
  be in the top five quarterback. But he's just not in He's not consistent.
• 2:00:54
  So that's why I have Josh Allen number eight. So who do you
• 2:00:58
  have as far as your ninth best quarterbacks? Josh Allen? After this game,
• 2:01:02
  it just really established a lot of things that I believe Josh Allen is
• 2:01:05
  a lot like of what you said. Josh Allen is one of the most
• 2:01:10
  talented quarterbacks. Talented, let's get that on all caps talented quarterbacks, much
• 2:01:15
  like Justin Herbert. They passed the eye test. They have everything you want
• 2:01:19
  in a quarterback. They have everything you need in a quarterback. But as
• 2:01:23
  far as that, it just doesn't translate to wins all the time. He
• 2:01:27
  can take the Deacon dunks, he can he can push the ball down the
• 2:01:30
  He can't take the Deacon dunks, but he can push the ball down the
• 2:01:32
  field, and that's just not that is not always going to win you the
• 2:01:35
  game. He has the way he's had Stefan Dick's whole career, and it
• 2:01:39
  hasn't led to a lot of wins. Josh Allen, I think needs to
• 2:01:44
  figure it out because he has never been in the top five. For me,
• 2:01:46
  he's when he first started. He was in the top five when he
• 2:01:48
  started getting a lot of motion. But over the last couple of years,
• 2:01:51
  I have realized that Josh Allen isn't that much of what people make him out
• 2:01:57
  to be as this quarterback that's going to win you for because the way that
• 2:02:00
  Josh Allen plays doesn't win you football games. It's a lot like they often
• 2:02:05
  like to refer to Mahomes or some of these quarterbacks like Brett Farv. Josh
• 2:02:11
  Allen is the definition of Brett Farb in today's game. He is the big
• 2:02:14
  play quarterback. He is gonna but he's gonna throw a lot of interceptions and
• 2:02:17
  that's just not gonna win you football game. Sometimes it's just not. Because
• 2:02:21
  we've seen it five times this year where he has hurt this football team and
• 2:02:25
  they have led to five losses. It's just that's why I refuse it to
• 2:02:30
  him ever in my top five, and why he is number nine for me
• 2:02:32
  right now. Yeah, yeah, I could see that right there. I
• 2:02:38
  feel like Josh Allen, he's he's been overrated ever since the Mahomes game,
• 2:02:44
  the Mahomes Divisional game in which he lost that game. I guess everybody they
• 2:02:48
  forget that, Oh Josh Allen, he lost that game, which I don't
• 2:02:53
  know. Yeah. Number nine I have I have for me is Justin Herbert.
• 2:02:59
  Justin Herbert, he's having a damn good year. He's just ended up
• 2:03:03
  on the wrong side ors He's made costly mistakes. Justin Herbert total yard is
• 2:03:10
  two thousand and four and sixty two total yards, twenty touchdowns, five turnovers,
• 2:03:15
  fifth in the league in QBR sixty seven point one completion percentage. He
• 2:03:20
  has all the all the tangibles there he has. He has the big,
• 2:03:27
  big arm, he can run out of the pocket, extend plays. But
• 2:03:30
  it's just I feel like there's a ceiling with Justin Herbert. That's why he's
• 2:03:36
  he's number nine for me because he's always been ever since he's entered the league.
• 2:03:42
  He's always been a B plus sometimes a minus quarterback, and you would
• 2:03:46
  have expected him to improve after his rookie year, but he's kind of been
• 2:03:51
  the same. He kind of flatlined, so you know what you're gonna expect
• 2:03:55
  from him. So that's why I have Justin Herbert number nine because even though
• 2:04:00
  the team isn't having that much success, he still is having success and Kellen
• 2:04:05
  Moore being in the offense having those weapons. Mike Williams, it sucked that
• 2:04:10
  he went down, but I didn't think that was gonna change the result of
• 2:04:12
  any games because because they're still putting up points. So yeah, Justin Herbert
• 2:04:16
  he's number nine on my list because he's just bad damn talented. It's just
• 2:04:23
  hard to keep him off the list. Oh okay, who do you have
• 2:04:28
  for number ten? My bet? Well, Justin Herbert did not make my
• 2:04:30
  list. He is not number ten for me. Number ten is Sam the
• 2:04:34
  commander? How Sam the commander? How is number ten for me? Two
• 2:04:40
  sixty four out of three ninety seven. They are trusting him, They are
• 2:04:45
  giving him the full workload. He is throwing over forty times per game.
• 2:04:50
  That is something you see from veterans. You don't see it from a quarterback
• 2:04:54
  still learning how to play. In the NFL. He has two thy seven
• 2:04:57
  hundred and eighty three passing yards, number one in the NFL. He has
• 2:05:00
  seventeen passing touchdowns, tied for number no. He's tied for second in the
• 2:05:06
  NFL. He has one hundred and seventy four rushing yards and a touchdown on
• 2:05:11
  the ground. He is doing everything in all for the Washington commanders, sometimes
• 2:05:16
  to their detriment, they rely on him too much. But I think this
• 2:05:19
  is really bright spots that you have seen from your young quarterback that you can
• 2:05:24
  have moving forward, going into the off season, going into next year,
• 2:05:27
  that he has the talent to get it done. Who knows, it may
• 2:05:30
  be seen if he's gonna end up in this Josh Allen and justin Herbert territory.
• 2:05:34
  But what I'm seeing for right now, in his first real year,
• 2:05:38
  this is putting him in my top ten because if he can grow from this
• 2:05:41
  and being a steppish him as a smart quarterback, as a quarterback that makes
• 2:05:45
  the anticipation throws, as a quarterback that makes the smart past, the quarterback
• 2:05:47
  that puts his body on the line in the right moments, not in any
• 2:05:51
  time, but when he can do it through the big things in the right
• 2:05:55
  moments, is where somehow will move up in my list because I think,
• 2:05:59
  like I have said in mini podcasts before this, he has all the arm
• 2:06:02
  talent in the world. It's just a matter of him putting it all together.
• 2:06:05
  And that's why he is number ten for me. He has let this
• 2:06:09
  team to a four and sixth record. I think we've probably expected a little
• 2:06:12
  bit more, but what we've seen from him, I think is enough sample
• 2:06:15
  size for me to put in my top ten. Yeah, they they could
• 2:06:18
  easily be six and three because he's went toe to toe, which Aalen hurts
• 2:06:24
  twice, So yeah twice, I didn't even well three. But if we
• 2:06:29
  go back to next year, last year, if we go back to last
• 2:06:31
  year. Yeah, yeah, man, number ten, Oh that was that
• 2:06:38
  was tough for me. I had it in between three people right here.
• 2:06:41
  So three people I had it was Sam Howe who you just mentioned, Tua
• 2:06:46
  and Trevor Lawrence and man, Trevor Lawrence. He's been terrible, So I'm
• 2:06:56
  just saying he's not on the list. I just wanted. I just basically
• 2:06:58
  just crashed him for no reason. But sorry, Trevor. I know.
• 2:07:03
  Sorry, I don't know if you're listening to this, but sorry Trevor,
• 2:07:06
  but number ten I'm gonna have to put to a tago by Loo Tua.
• 2:07:12
  It was just hard to keep him off this list right here, and again,
• 2:07:15
  I have questions. I could kind of mention with Bryce Young, you
• 2:07:17
  need the right pieces around him, but it's kind of hard to It's kind
• 2:07:24
  of hard to keep him off this list because the statistical season he has had,
• 2:07:28
  and even last year before all the concussions and everything, he was having
• 2:07:32
  a good year. Nineteen touchdowns, nine turnovers, which isn't the best.
• 2:07:36
  You're eighth in the league in QBR seventy percent completion percentage, so you're still
• 2:07:42
  having a good year. You need to beat those good teams right there.
• 2:07:45
  You need to, and he's gonna have an opportunity to play these good teams
• 2:07:50
  obviously. I know he's gonna have his Division down the road, but he's
• 2:07:55
  gonna have the Cowboys. I know he's gonna play the Cowboys soon and then
• 2:08:00
  and I believe he's gonna play the Ravens. Yeah, he's gonna play the
• 2:08:03
  Ravens. So that's another tough game right there. You have your chances where
• 2:08:07
  you're gonna be able to beat these marquee teams, but can you do it?
• 2:08:11
  Are you gonna be able to do it? Because, like you said,
• 2:08:15
  without Tyreek Kill, without Jaylen Wattle, without Mike McDaniels, really without
• 2:08:20
  him, you haven't been seen as a good quarterback. So you can finally
• 2:08:24
  prove yourself. And he's on a contract here, so are you. He's
• 2:08:28
  he's basically playing for a franchise quarterback spot right now. So that's why I
• 2:08:35
  have him number ten. But I was really tempted to put Sam Howe there.
• 2:08:39
  So it's really hard for you, hard for me to disagree with that.
• 2:08:43
  But an honorable mention somebody that does deserve credit is Baker Mayfield and Joshua
• 2:08:50
  Dobbs. They have been having fantastic years so far, and so yeah,
• 2:08:56
  I don't know if you want to run through your list real quick, just
• 2:08:58
  lists one through ten so we could kind of recap. So you're one,
• 2:09:03
  it was Mahomes, two, it was Jalen Hurts, three, it was
• 2:09:07
  Lamar Jackson, four, Dak Prescott or No. Four Jared Goff five,
• 2:09:11
  Dak Prescott, six, it was c. J. Stroud, seven,
• 2:09:16
  it was Tua Tua. Then eight it was it was Joe Burrow, then
• 2:09:24
  nine it was Josh Allen and Tim ten it was Sam Howe. Number one.
• 2:09:28
  I had Mahomes, two, Hurts three, Dak Prescott for Lamar Jackson,
• 2:09:33
  five, five, Jared Golf six, c J. Stroud seven,
• 2:09:37
  Joe Burrow, eight, Josh Allen, nine, Justin Herbert and number ten
• 2:09:41
  Tua. So the only one I really could disagree with you about is Justin
• 2:09:48
  Herbert. I feel like all of these are kind of the same, but
• 2:09:52
  it's just as far as what was the biggest thing for you as far as
• 2:09:54
  leaving Justin Herbert off this list, Josh Allen and Justin Herbert for me are
• 2:10:03
  in the same category as like the big play quarterbacks. The thing is with
• 2:10:07
  Josh Allen. I've seen Josh Allen win football games. I've seen Josh Allen
• 2:10:13
  kind of like actually like complete a shootout with a good quarterback, I guess.
• 2:10:18
  But as far as Justin Herbert, he still has a losing record.
• 2:10:22
  He's done the same things he's done every year. I haven't really seen them
• 2:10:24
  much much growth. I think there's a lot of guys that we've seen in
• 2:10:28
  history, like the Ben Roethlisberger is, like I guess he wants to grow,
• 2:10:31
  but I guess, but like the Ben Roethlisbergers, like the Philip Rivers,
• 2:10:35
  where they're always gonna be up there with the most talented, with the
• 2:10:37
  best quarterbacks, but they'll just never get their job done. And I think
• 2:10:39
  that's the spot that Justin Herbert is. Yeah, no, I can see
• 2:10:45
  that right there as far as him just winning the games. But honestly,
• 2:10:50
  there's nothing really I could I guess we always find a way to agree in
• 2:10:54
  some ways where we're not the type to argue over oh oh blah blah should
• 2:11:00
  be one spot ahead and so and so that that's dumb. They're they're getting
• 2:11:03
  their respect that they deserve, but all right, we're gonna go ahead and
• 2:11:09
  get into the next part. It's gonna be the week eleven predictions. And
• 2:11:13
  man, at this point, I've just given up. Man, Yoshi Yashi
• 2:11:18
  would again in a landslide. I think he won by like two or three
• 2:11:22
  games right here. So at this point, guys, if y'all listen to
• 2:11:28
  this, don't take my picks. Take Josh's picks. That's gonna win,
• 2:11:31
  y'all. Somebody likes the opposite this week. Hey, I'm trying to do
• 2:11:37
  some reverse psychology here, cut me some slack. But all right, We're
• 2:11:41
  gonna start with the Thursday night football game. It's the Cincinnati Bengals versus the
• 2:11:46
  Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore. Who do you have? The Baltimore Ravens. Give
• 2:11:54
  me the Baltimore Ravens too, And all right, at the start of the
• 2:11:58
  twelve o'clock game, you have the Dallas Cowboys at the Carolina Panthers. Who
• 2:12:03
  do you have in this one? Panthers? Right, man, Yeah,
• 2:12:07
  Panthers. I'm just kidding. O. I got the Carolina I know,
• 2:12:11
  I got the Dallas Cowboys. No, I'm just kidding. Nah, you
• 2:12:15
  got the I got the Cowboys too. The Pittsburgh Steelers at the Cleveland Browns.
• 2:12:22
  I think the Browns win this one, man, I think that the
• 2:12:28
  Browns they win this one too, just because they're at home. M HM,
• 2:12:33
  Arizona Cardinals with Kyler Murray against the Houston Texans in Houston. Give me
• 2:12:41
  the Cardinals, Cardinals. Give me the Texans right here. So guys,
• 2:12:46
  make sure you'all pick Cardinals right here. So because Josh Pam, give me
• 2:12:50
  the Texans. The Texans should win this game. But again, we don't
• 2:12:56
  even know what this. I don't even know at this down point. Uh.
• 2:13:00
  The Tennessee tight Ends versus the Jacksonville Jaguars in Jacksonville. Give me the
• 2:13:05
  Jaguars. Give me the Jaguars too. So next one, we have the
• 2:13:11
  Las Vegas Raiders, who've won two straight against the Miami Dolphins, in which
• 2:13:16
  Devon a Chen should be back. So who do you have in this one?
• 2:13:22
  The Miami Dolphins. I don't know why I'm tempted to take the Raiders
• 2:13:28
  right here. I don't know why I'm tempted, but no this, yeah,
• 2:13:33
  I know they could slow the game down right here, and they could
• 2:13:37
  be physical. Hmm. Nah, give me the Dolphins. Nah, no,
• 2:13:43
  no, no, no, no, all right. Next game you
• 2:13:46
  have the Chicago Bears versus the Detroit Lions in Detroit, which Justin Field should
• 2:13:52
  be returning. Oh, man, I wonder who people think I'm gonna pick
• 2:13:56
  in the game, kid, the Detroits. Yeah, such a shocker.
• 2:14:01
  You're picking the Lions right here? Crazy, right now? Give me the
• 2:14:03
  Lions too, all right. Other twelve o'clock game, the second one or
• 2:14:09
  second to last one, the Los Angeles Chargers versus the Green Bay Packers in
• 2:14:13
  Lambeau. Hm, I don't know if John, you're Alexander, you're gonna
• 2:14:20
  play? I'll do I don't don't. I think he didn't play last game.
• 2:14:28
  I'll do the Chargers. He's questionable. It says he's questionable. Now
• 2:14:37
  sticking with the Chargers. I'll do the Chargers. Yeah, no, give
• 2:14:41
  me the Chargers right here too. Next game, oh, we have the
• 2:14:45
  game of the week, the New York Giants versus the Commanders. Commanders,
• 2:14:50
  Commanders, give me that one too, all right. And then the start
• 2:14:54
  of the three o'clock games, it's the Man, the Myth, the legend,
• 2:14:58
  the Heisman winner, Baker Mayfield versus the San Francisco forty nine ers.
• 2:15:03
  I know you're a Baker guy, so you're gonna take Baker right here in
• 2:15:07
  an upset. Nah, I have to do the Niners in this one.
• 2:15:11
  Man, I'll go again, my boy, I was. I'm still tempted.
• 2:15:16
  I'm still tempted to take them. But I'll do the Niners in this
• 2:15:18
  one. Yeah. No, give me the Niners right here. The Niners.
• 2:15:22
  They they found a groove al right. Next three or three to twenty
• 2:15:26
  five game, it's a New York Jets versus the Buffalo Bills in Buffalo.
• 2:15:31
  Will the Bills lose three straight? Yes, the Bills will lose this game?
• 2:15:39
  Oh shoot, holy crap. N I have to stick with the Bills
• 2:15:43
  right here. I just can't see the Bills losing three straight. Huh,
• 2:15:48
  I can, I can, and I hope for it. S No,
• 2:15:52
  I the Bills. They just have to win. They have to. But
• 2:15:58
  I don't know, honestly, there's been so many damn upsets at this point.
• 2:16:01
  I don't even know. Uh. Seattle Seahawks versus the Los Angeles Rams
• 2:16:07
  in LA. But Matt Stafford should be coming back in this game? Is
• 2:16:11
  he? They have Carson Winston? Maybe they're gonna have him another week off.
• 2:16:16
  What said Matt Stafford, he's questionable? Ah ah. I feel like
• 2:16:22
  the Rams haven't been looking too hot the past couple. Give me the Seattle
• 2:16:28
  Seahawks. They'll dictate the run game. Seattle Seahawks. Well, all right,
• 2:16:35
  if if Matthew Stafford is back, then give me the Los Angeles Rams
• 2:16:41
  in this one. But if he's not playing, give me Gino Smith and
• 2:16:46
  the Seattle Seahawks. So I feel like that that would be the upset right
• 2:16:50
  there. And Sunday night game, we have the Man, the Myth,
• 2:16:56
  the Legend, the Rocket Scientists, uh, Jada Pinkett's Joshua Dobbs versus the
• 2:17:01
  Denver Broncos. Who do you have with this one? The Minnesota Vikings.
• 2:17:07
  Yeah, no, give me the Vikings in this one. And the game
• 2:17:11
  that I know Josh is looking forward to, I'm looking forward to the Monday
• 2:17:16
  night football game. Both teams are coming off of BI weeks, basically going
• 2:17:20
  for who's the best team in the league right now? The Philadelphia Eagles versus
• 2:17:24
  the Kansas City Chiefs in Kansas City. Josh, Well, I don't even
• 2:17:30
  know why I'm asking you this question, but who do you have in this
• 2:17:33
  one? The Chiefs and they will hold the Philadelphia Eagles to underneath eighteen points
• 2:17:39
  in this game. Ooh, that's a bold statement. Oh if that happens.
• 2:17:48
  If that happens, this Chiefs defense is the best defense in the league.
• 2:17:50
  Holy crap, if that happens, that would be crazy. They will
• 2:17:56
  I trust in my boys. Who when is Nick Bolton coming back? I
• 2:18:03
  don't think he comes back this game. I don't. I haven't heard nothing.
• 2:18:05
  And I watched Chiefs podcast twenty four to seven, so I have heard
• 2:18:09
  nothing about Nick Bollen coming back. Maybe I think another week. Hm.
• 2:18:16
  Hey, but that's the man right there. He is you. You said
• 2:18:22
  it from the beginning. He's a dog. So man, I had a
• 2:18:26
  pick coms I had to do earlier, and I was and it took me
• 2:18:30
  like five minutes to decide, and I went with the cheese. But I
• 2:18:33
  don't know why I feel like switching it up right here. Give me Philly
• 2:18:35
  in this one as much, Yes I have my cowboys had on, but
• 2:18:39
  give me Philly in this one. I have to get one of them right
• 2:18:43
  right. I just feel like the old push push it will work. But
• 2:18:50
  all right, now that we covered the NFL. We're gonna cover a little
• 2:18:54
  bit of college football. We're gonna just go over just the top teams and
• 2:18:58
  what they did and as far as if it affected our standings as far as
• 2:19:03
  the college football playoffs, since it is starting to get closer because there is
• 2:19:09
  there is two weeks left. So the number one seed, Ohio State,
• 2:19:16
  they won thirty eight to three versus Michigan State. Do you think that Ohio
• 2:19:22
  State they should be removed from number one? Because I know Georgia they won
• 2:19:28
  fifty two to seventeen against a top ranked component against Ole Miss. So do
• 2:19:33
  you think they should stay number one or do you think they should go down?
• 2:19:39
  I think they should remain number one because I think when they I think
• 2:19:43
  they have the weapons. I think that that's the separator here. Marvin Harrison
• 2:19:46
  junior seven for one, forty nine to two touchdowns, and I think he
• 2:19:48
  had a touchdown on the ground too, So I'm still gonna stick with Ohio
• 2:19:52
  State number one. They got they took care of business against Michigan State like
• 2:19:58
  they should and that's why I continue to rank them as my number one seed.
• 2:20:05
  An you make a group of yeah, So Marvin Harrison, he had
• 2:20:09
  three drives and three touchdowns and oh yeah that tweet. So at first,
• 2:20:13
  so if y'all, if y'all follow us on Twitter. So when I was
• 2:20:18
  talking about Romeo, o'dunze like, I completely forgot about Marvin Harrison. He's
• 2:20:22
  just in such a different stratosphere. So when you said, why is he
• 2:20:26
  saying the clear cut number one, I'm like, what is he talking about?
• 2:20:30
  It? Just them too? And then I thought about, like,
• 2:20:33
  holy crap, I forgot about Marvin Harrison. Juju. Oh did that coming?
• 2:20:35
  Like don't you mean don't you mean the second wide receiver drafton? Yeah?
• 2:20:41
  Yeah, yeah, No. I was like, I was like,
• 2:20:43
  what is this dude talking about? But I just completely forgot. That's how
• 2:20:46
  damn good he is. I just he's just in a whole different stratus sphere
• 2:20:50
  as far as receiver. But honestly, Georgia beating Old Miss fifty two to
• 2:20:56
  seventeen, in which Old Miss they were ranked number nine, in which it
• 2:21:01
  looked like a close game at first, it was fourteen to seven in the
• 2:21:03
  first quarter, but the way Georgia dominated, I think Georgia they should Georgia
• 2:21:09
  they moved number one for me, and then Ohio State they moved number two.
• 2:21:13
  I don't think. I just think if you get marm Harrison and Junior
• 2:21:16
  or another crack at them, dude, and is it gonna be done real
• 2:21:20
  quick? I feel like that's gonna be the college football imagine if Stroud stayed
• 2:21:26
  one more year, Oh my gosh, Ohio State, they would win it
• 2:21:30
  clearly. It would be like the what was it twenty fifteen team where they
• 2:21:35
  had Zeke Michael Thomas, Marshawn Lattimore, Joey Bosa, that nasty happening as
• 2:21:43
  the quarterback or was it Barrett? Was it Barrett? I think it was
• 2:21:50
  Barrett that was a quarterback right there. But all right, as far as
• 2:21:56
  for the third team, Michigan, they beat Penn State, the number tenth
• 2:22:01
  ranked team in the league twenty four to fifteen after Jim Harball, so everything
• 2:22:07
  came out. Basically, they're not going to get suspended from man. He
• 2:22:18
  was definitely emotional after that game. But were you impressed by this Michigan win
• 2:22:24
  right here without Jim Harbaugh being there? I really was. I didn't expect
• 2:22:28
  this to be a high scoring game because Penn State's defense is so good,
• 2:22:33
  but in that fourth quarter, I just felt like the Michigan like they took
• 2:22:37
  over like they like like there was it came up to the end, and
• 2:22:41
  that the freaking Penn State offense is frocious, Like it's a terrible offense.
• 2:22:48
  Their defense is the reason why they're even ranked this high because Dylan al whatever
• 2:22:52
  his name is all Er terrible quarterback. Yeah, he's a terrible quarterback.
• 2:22:58
  Like he like I was watching this game, I'm like, dude, make
• 2:23:01
  a decision like get out of this pocket, like throw like it just wasn't
• 2:23:05
  happening for him. And I just think that this and this Michigan team is
• 2:23:09
  playing with a chip on their shoulder right now. They love their coach and
• 2:23:13
  you can tell that they love their coach and they're gonna I think it's gonna
• 2:23:16
  be pretty scary for any team playing them forward. But they will lose against
• 2:23:20
  Ohio State and then in the next two weeks, so I'm just gonna let
• 2:23:24
  them, let them come back down to earth. But but I they didn't
• 2:23:26
  move them from my number three ranking that I had them, and I think
• 2:23:30
  I still think they'll make the College Wall playoffs even if they do lose to
• 2:23:33
  Ohio State. Ooh. I don't know if they'd make the playoffs if they
• 2:23:37
  lose. Yeah, I don't know actually, but then also but then also
• 2:23:41
  like I don't know if they'll look at like we'll get into in a minute,
• 2:23:45
  I guess, but I don't know if they'll look at Florida. I
• 2:23:48
  don't want to get you down a little bit, but like, Florida State
• 2:23:50
  strength of schedule compared to Michigan's strength of schedule is probably gonna come into a
• 2:23:54
  little bit of account. I feel like, yeah, I could do that.
• 2:23:58
  But before we get into Florida State, just shout out to Blake Corum
• 2:24:01
  twenty six carries, one hundred and forty five yards, two touchdowns, five
• 2:24:05
  point six yards of carry against a Michigan or not a Michigan against a Penn
• 2:24:09
  State defense which he bawled. Yeah, one of the best defenses in the
• 2:24:13
  country. But all right, let's get into the team that everybody wants to
• 2:24:16
  talk about, the best team in the ACC, not in the country ACC
• 2:24:22
  best team in the ACC. I'm not gonna be too crazy here, in
• 2:24:26
  which they squeaked out a win against I feel like a good Miami team who
• 2:24:31
  have lost very close games unfortunately. Kean Coleman Dog Trey Benson, Dog Trey
• 2:24:39
  Benson. I feel like he's the number one running back in this draft class.
• 2:24:43
  I feel like, so what you're mentioned as far as they don't have
• 2:24:46
  their strength to schedule, So Florida State they are ten to zero and they
• 2:24:52
  have North Alabama Necks and Florida Florida. That could be a tough game right
• 2:24:56
  there, because they always play him tough. But business, Yeah, Trevor,
• 2:25:03
  Trevor eat and he did cook us up last year, but that was
• 2:25:05
  mostly because Anthony Richardson was just dotting up fools. Because that's that's when I
• 2:25:11
  finally realized Anthony Richardson was legit because he was torching us just running the ball
• 2:25:16
  and throwing the ball down the field. But Florida State, they won sixteen
• 2:25:22
  straight games, and I feel like where it kind of benefits them is that
• 2:25:26
  last year we were so good, so we're gonna get the benefit of the
• 2:25:31
  doubt with strength of schedule not being so good, you know what I mean,
• 2:25:35
  They could be like, oh, well, this team they have won
• 2:25:37
  sixteen straight games going back to last year, so you could say, okay,
• 2:25:41
  well we'll give them the benefit of the doubt. We'll probably get our
• 2:25:45
  asses kicked in the college football playoffs. I'm not gonna lie to you.
• 2:25:48
  We probably will, but we'll still make it there. So so I know
• 2:25:54
  you had Washington number four, and Washington they beat number eight Utah thirty five
• 2:26:01
  to twenty eight. So do you still have Washington four in Florida State five?
• 2:26:05
  I do. I still at this very moment, have Washington above them,
• 2:26:07
  just because they I don't know, they they played some of the some
• 2:26:13
  of the tougher teams. I feel in his last couple of games, their
• 2:26:18
  defense is little, a little iffy. But I think where it will happen
• 2:26:24
  is that when the packs, when the Pac twelve comes around, they'll still
• 2:26:26
  have to play Oregon. They'll probably I don't know if USC will still be
• 2:26:30
  is still in the hunt for the championship for the Pac twelve championship, No,
• 2:26:33
  they're not hunt, but they'll still have to play Oregon. They'll still
• 2:26:35
  have to play Oregon. I think that will be a really big deciding factor
• 2:26:39
  on who wins that football game. Yeah, I know, like what you're
• 2:26:43
  talking about. With Oregon. They actually beat us USC thirty six to twenty
• 2:26:46
  seven. So it's basically a fore gone conclusion as far as it's going to
• 2:26:52
  be Oregon and Washregon in Washington Washington unless something crazy, unless something crazy happens,
• 2:27:01
  So it's that's really going to decide right there. If anything, Oregon
• 2:27:05
  they're playing a spoil because if Florida State wins out, or if the top
• 2:27:09
  four teams they or now Michigan or how State, they're gonna lose. So
• 2:27:13
  Oregon they're really playing for spoiler spoiler here because or actually you could make the
• 2:27:20
  case saying, well, well, Ohio State they beat Michigan, right,
• 2:27:28
  Michigan they fall out, and say if Oregon beats Washington, you could make
• 2:27:31
  a case that that Oregon they made up their loss against Washington so they can
• 2:27:39
  move into into that number four spot, you know what I mean. Yeah,
• 2:27:45
  But then you could also say, Michigan, let's look at Michigan.
• 2:27:48
  I was about to look at this. Actually, I guess the only real
• 2:27:52
  the real opponent, Yeah, the only real opponent that Michigan has been.
• 2:27:58
  I guess that. You could say it's Penn State, So I guess I
• 2:28:01
  don't know, like they'd be in Nebraska, Minnesota, Indiana, Michigan State,
• 2:28:05
  Purdue's gonna be a really weird one to figure out at the end,
• 2:28:11
  I feel it is. And the number seventh ranked team, the team that
• 2:28:16
  needs a lot of a lot of help is Texas. Texas they beat TCU
• 2:28:24
  twenty nine to twenty six, but again they're on the outside. They're on
• 2:28:28
  the outside looking in, and they would need Michigan to lose Michigan or Florida
• 2:28:35
  State to lose, and then they would need Oregon to beat Washington, and
• 2:28:43
  then somehow the college football voters move Texas over Oregon, which I can't make
• 2:28:52
  the case for. Do you think that they can make the case for Texas
• 2:28:54
  over Oregon. No, Texas isn't too many, too many leads. I
• 2:29:01
  think they're sent it over the last versus Oklahoma, blew a lead, lost
• 2:29:05
  the game. Versus Kansas State almost blue the lead, should have lost the
• 2:29:09
  game. I think if if Kansas State coach got his head out of his
• 2:29:13
  ass and kicked the field goal and then win a game and tried and win
• 2:29:18
  it, tried in a double overtime, it probably would have won that game.
• 2:29:20
  Because uh, Texas is atrocious in the red zone, so it's just
• 2:29:26
  and then they just lost John Brooks Jonathan Brooks for the season, torn a
• 2:29:28
  cl the number one rated quarterback on Male Kuiper's running back list going into the
• 2:29:33
  draft. He is towards Aco, So I think they're gonna take account all
• 2:29:39
  that Quinn Yewers coming back from another soulder injury. It's just gonna be like,
• 2:29:45
  I don't think they get in. I think they're gonna be on the
• 2:29:46
  outside looking in this year once again. Yeah, well not once again.
• 2:29:50
  This year they controlled their own destiny. If they didn't lose to Ou,
• 2:29:54
  they probably have the four spot over Florida State because that's how they had it
• 2:29:58
  before. So yeah, and they beat Obama. They're being some pretty good
• 2:30:01
  teams. But it's just they took that out. That's that's just the I
• 2:30:05
  guess that's just college football for you, Like you're a good team, but
• 2:30:07
  you may look on the outside. Yeah. I think the only way they
• 2:30:13
  have a chance is if Obama and Georgia they're playing in the SEC. If
• 2:30:18
  Bama beats Georgia, then you could say, all right, well Texas beat
• 2:30:22
  Bama, so you moved Texas in for number number three because Michigan or Ohio
• 2:30:28
  State they're gonna lose, you know what I mean. So that's that's the
• 2:30:33
  only real option right there. But all right, we just talked a little
• 2:30:37
  bit of college football right here, because it's kind of difficult because these last
• 2:30:41
  two games are going to determine everything with these last two weeks. So before
• 2:30:48
  we or no, actually we'll do it first, we'll get into our so
• 2:30:52
  called MVPs of the week. Josh, did you want to go first right
• 2:30:56
  here? Or actually no, I'll let you go first. Out as you
• 2:31:00
  go for yeah, yeah, yeah, a gentleman, Oh, thank you.
• 2:31:07
  I was torn between a Monroe Saint Brown and City Lamb. But I'm
• 2:31:13
  pretty sure. I think I know where you're going, so I'll go maybe.
• 2:31:18
  I think, oh, I don't know. Actually he'll go one or
• 2:31:20
  two is but I think I'm gonna go a Monroe Saint Brown. I'm gonna
• 2:31:24
  give Hi Miss Flowers this week. I give him Miss Flowers every week because
• 2:31:26
  I love Amanas Saint Brown. I wish he was a Chief. I'm gonna
• 2:31:31
  pray to God that he ends up the chief one day so I can finally
• 2:31:33
  buy an Amanahe Saint Brown Jersey. But he he will be my so called
• 2:31:39
  MVP of the week. He finished with eight fifty six in a touchdown.
• 2:31:43
  He has seven like I said, I can't. I can't harp on Amnae
• 2:31:46
  more than I already do. I think that he's the MVP. Every time
• 2:31:48
  they needed a big play in this game, he was there, he needed
• 2:31:52
  he made the big play, and that's where he becomes my m VP,
• 2:31:56
  my so called m VP for this week. So the reason why I wanted
• 2:32:01
  you to go first is because if you're gonna pick a cowboy, then I
• 2:32:05
  was like, all right, no, I won't go with the cowboy.
• 2:32:07
  And I actually had I'm on row next, but YE have set it up.
• 2:32:09
  Yeah, I'm dead serious. I had had I'm on Raw, then
• 2:32:13
  I had Cee Lamb, So I guess we're kind of on the same level.
• 2:32:16
  I wanted to put Dak Prescott there, but I already put him there.
• 2:32:20
  You could only win it sold so many damn times, so vot voters.
• 2:32:26
  Yeah, yeah, I already got voters fatigue. I could have put
• 2:32:28
  him these past four damn weeks, but no, My so called MVP of
• 2:32:35
  the week is Sedarian Lamb. That dude is a monster. Eleven for one
• 2:32:41
  touchdown. He breaks the NFL record three straight games, something uncharted territory,
• 2:32:48
  and he went from having I believe like forty seven catches through the first six
• 2:32:54
  games. Now he has forty seven catches just in these past four damn games.
• 2:32:58
  So it's ridiculous what he's doing. And he's just on a monster tear
• 2:33:03
  and he's gonna the way he's looking, he's gonna end up getting paid thirty
• 2:33:07
  down million a year. He's gonna be up there with Tyreek Hill, DeVante
• 2:33:11
  Adams and all that territory. But all right, so that was our MVPs
• 2:33:18
  of the week. But before we close out things, we're gonna answer a
• 2:33:22
  little bit of questions right here, just some Q and a's that we got
• 2:33:26
  back, and if you guys have any Q and as, you guys could
• 2:33:30
  just text it to us on Twitter at Flying Garcia one hundred or Underscore Alfonso
• 2:33:35
  zero three, just let us know when we could possibly answer your questions.
• 2:33:39
  We may not answer all of them, but we're willing to get some majority
• 2:33:41
  of them. So all right, we're gonna go ahead and start it off.
• 2:33:46
  Some of these we do have names, other ones we don't. So
• 2:33:48
  we're gonna start off first with Breckon. It's when it's time for qbs like
• 2:33:56
  two and brock Purdy to get paid who really benefit from the player around them.
• 2:34:00
  Do they deserve the bag or should they take on smaller contracts? Josh,
• 2:34:03
  what do you think about that? I think if I were a NFLGM,
• 2:34:07
  I'd be like, all right, let's look at Patrick mahomes accomplishments.
• 2:34:13
  Do you think you are Patrick Mahomes. That's what I would do. So
• 2:34:16
  I never really think that NFL quarterbacks should make how much they make, because
• 2:34:22
  they're just not If they don't produce at the same level of that, they
• 2:34:26
  shouldn't be a higher paid than that. You know, I will never agree
• 2:34:31
  with that. So in my personal opinion, I don't think like quarterbacks like
• 2:34:35
  to or a Rock Party should be getting that type of contract. I think
• 2:34:39
  they should take like good contracts, but not to franchise caliber altering Tier one
• 2:34:46
  contracts much like a Daniel Jones did for the Giants where he's gonna get paid
• 2:34:52
  sixty nine million dollars next year and even how I understand he's bawling right now,
• 2:34:58
  but eve been dak Press the contract where he's getting paid I think upwards
• 2:35:03
  to like fifty nine million dollars next year. I don't think that some quarterbacks
• 2:35:07
  should be getting that paid. That much money when they haven't actually been the
• 2:35:11
  reason for their team's like major success or like if they're if they don't have
• 2:35:16
  the stats or like the signature super Bowls or MVPs behind getting those big contracts.
• 2:35:24
  Well, first off, before I get into Dak, he's gonna get
• 2:35:26
  that signature super Bowl this year, so we don't have to worry about that.
• 2:35:31
  Okay, all right, all right, right, I'm done. But
• 2:35:35
  okay, here's the biggest thing. So it's real tough for me because the
• 2:35:39
  market is only increasing year by year by year. Let's not forget that Jimmy
• 2:35:43
  Garoppolo was once the highest paid quarterback when he wins in San Francisco, getting
• 2:35:48
  thirty million dollars. That's never happened. Now now it literally doubled, so
• 2:35:54
  now it's sixty million. To I believe Kyler, he's getting that the next
• 2:35:58
  year, right, And I know you said Dak Prescott's getting that the next
• 2:36:01
  year. Well, I think Mahomes. Mahomes's structure of his contract he had
• 2:36:05
  earlier, it makes him the second highest bag quarterback, so okay, it
• 2:36:11
  hurts his first Mahomes' second, but Mahomes is all guaranteed money. So like
• 2:36:15
  I don't think his goes too much against the actual cap as compared to other
• 2:36:18
  quarterbacks. Oh okay, but as far as with Perty and Tua, those
• 2:36:24
  are that's a perfect example of two quarterbacks who are just in a great system,
• 2:36:30
  great players around them. But what sucks about it is that they're gonna
• 2:36:33
  end up taking that franchise quarterback money, whether whether the team likes it or
• 2:36:39
  not, because you see what they could do with those weapons. So they
• 2:36:43
  may not have the same weapons that they do have, but they are solid
• 2:36:48
  quarterbacks, and it's hard to find a franchise alsoaring quarterback in this league,
• 2:36:54
  like CJ. Stroud, those quarterbacks that come out out of the gate and
• 2:36:58
  just be great. Anthony Richardson too, that doesn't happen that often. More
• 2:37:01
  likely than not, you're gonna get a Bryce young who they need the talent
• 2:37:05
  around them, and it's gonna make them better. Because if franchise quarterbacks fell
• 2:37:11
  off a tree, then you'd see more Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, c
• 2:37:15
  J. Stroud's, Jalen Hurbs, Lamar Jackson, you'd see more of those
• 2:37:18
  people around. But you just don't. So you're gonna have to pay those
• 2:37:22
  players, whether you like it or not, because it gives you some stability,
• 2:37:28
  and some stability is better than no stability. M So, all right,
• 2:37:37
  next question we have right here. It says it's from James Keith.
• 2:37:43
  How far do you think the Lions can go? I'm asking the wrong person
• 2:37:48
  here. I already know what your answer is gonna be right here. I
• 2:37:52
  think they can go all the way till Mahomes lets them. Hey, Jared
• 2:37:58
  Goff, he has lost them a home. Hey, I don't want you
• 2:38:01
  know the circumstances that happened in that first game, it won't happen again.
• 2:38:05
  But I think the Lions can go all the way to the super Bowl.
• 2:38:07
  They have all the talent, they have all the weapons. Their defense is
• 2:38:11
  okay, like they're they're good enough, But the offense is where where they
• 2:38:16
  are probably the most elite offense in the whole NFL. They they can get
• 2:38:20
  it done in any many different ways. They can hit you in any any
• 2:38:24
  set of football like play action, screen passes, any playbook. They can
• 2:38:28
  run it. That's what the That's what the Lions are. And I think
• 2:38:33
  sure they may go through the Niners and the Eagles and the Cowboys, but
• 2:38:37
  I think they have what it takes to go to the Super Bowl. Yeah,
• 2:38:41
  no, I think that the Lions. I've said this time and and
• 2:38:46
  time again. The Lions. They have all the pieces there. It's just
• 2:38:48
  as far as the experience. Obviously, sometimes you don't need experience to be
• 2:38:54
  there. But I guess just being against the more experienced teams, more more
• 2:39:00
  veteran teams that have been in those situations more often, they may have some
• 2:39:05
  pieces where they've been there. But as far as as a collective group,
• 2:39:09
  but I think they definitely have the talent to win the Super Bowl. They
• 2:39:11
  definitely have it on paper. You could go you go position for position,
• 2:39:18
  and you can give an argument that they have some of the best skill positions
• 2:39:22
  for each for each group. Line them up against any team. Maybe secondary
• 2:39:28
  that's their weakest part. But linebackers are solid. D line solid. We
• 2:39:31
  don't even have to talk about the offense. Even head coach Dan Campbell,
• 2:39:35
  he's proving to be one of the best head coaches in the league. He
• 2:39:39
  may have an aggressive style, but it benefits him. He's kind of like
• 2:39:41
  a Nick Sirianni mold words, real aggressive offensive mind, but it pays off.
• 2:39:48
  So yeah, no, I think that the Lions. They can make
• 2:39:50
  it to the super Bowl if things go right. But all right, next
• 2:39:56
  one we have, it's from Eddie of us. Is Christian McCaffrey the best
• 2:40:01
  player in the NFL? Okay, let's take Mahomes out of the equation.
• 2:40:11
  Okay, then we have a conversation. We have a conversation after that.
• 2:40:16
  I think he's up there in the top five, top three of any of
• 2:40:20
  we're taking peer position players. There's no debate of whether he could be the
• 2:40:26
  number one, because he arguably is the best player in the NFL. I'm
• 2:40:30
  not going to sit here in line. Passing yard is, rushing yard is,
• 2:40:33
  rushing touchdowns, receiving touchdown, receiving catches. He does it all.
• 2:40:37
  He does everything you need him to do. He's Alvin Kamara on steroids,
• 2:40:41
  which is crazy to say, because he can actually rush over a thousand yards,
• 2:40:45
  he can actually catch the ball. He's I think there's some stat where
• 2:40:48
  he hasn't where he's scored a touchdown in every single game over the last two
• 2:40:52
  years or something like that. Christian McCaffrey is arguably the best player in football.
• 2:40:58
  That's barring any position. He's up there with the Tyreek Hills. He's
• 2:41:01
  up there with the Justin Jefferson's, He's up there with the Miles Garretts,
• 2:41:03
  the Aaron Donald's. Like, yes, Christian McCaffrey could be considered the best
• 2:41:09
  player in football. So for this one, because best player in football,
• 2:41:16
  I kind of that's kind of driven towards quarterbacks. So again taking quarterbacks completely
• 2:41:22
  out of this equation right here. So just as far as skill position players
• 2:41:28
  and as far as the defense here, t J. Watt, Miles Garrett
• 2:41:37
  Tyreek Hill, those are three players for sure that'd have over Christian McCaffrey.
• 2:41:43
  So I'm gonna say I'm gonna say no on this one right here. Christian
• 2:41:48
  mccaf McCaffrey, he is great, but let's not forget about the surrounding pieces
• 2:41:54
  he does have around him. He has Trent Williams around him, Deebo,
• 2:41:58
  Samuel Brandon Nayuk, he does have all of these weapons around him so where
• 2:42:03
  you can't key in on him. Not to mention Kyle Shanahan being one of
• 2:42:07
  the best offensive minds in in the league. He made Elijah Mitchell a relevant
• 2:42:13
  running back. He made him a relevant running back. Devanta or DeVonta Freeman
• 2:42:20
  Tevin Coleman. He's had successful running backs. And I know McCaffrey had good
• 2:42:24
  years with Carolina, Okay that I know that he did the same things with
• 2:42:30
  Carolina. So I don't know. Yeah, okay, if you would have
• 2:42:33
  told me in Carolina, is he the best player in the league, Yes,
• 2:42:37
  he is, no question. But I guess I can't say he's the
• 2:42:41
  best player in the league because he's around that damn good supporting cast. Best.
• 2:42:48
  I think he's the best running back in the NFL. Oh yeah,
• 2:42:50
  no question. I feel like that's that's just a given right there. All
• 2:42:56
  right, next one right here? Who so there was no name on this
• 2:43:01
  one. Who is the best NFL quarter or who's who's the best cornerback right
• 2:43:07
  now in the NFL? Uh? You go first? No it's not okay,
• 2:43:16
  but you go first. Okay. So I'm trying to think, okay,
• 2:43:22
  so, oh no, the way, let me let me fix my
• 2:43:28
  Cowboys hat right here. Not trying to be biased, but all right,
• 2:43:33
  I know Sauce Gardner he is up there right now, no question. Pat
• 2:43:37
  certain he is up there, no question. So this guy, he isn't
• 2:43:41
  the best best cornerback in the league, but just shout out to Darron bland
• 2:43:46
  Man right now. No, he is in the top five if you look
• 2:43:52
  at all the stats, and he is locking up fools left and right.
• 2:43:58
  He locked down A. J. Brown the week before. Compared to what
• 2:44:01
  everybody else has been doing, he's been cooking fools, and he locked him
• 2:44:05
  down for the majority of the game. But as of right now, I
• 2:44:09
  would say Pat certain is the best cornerback in the league because he has everything
• 2:44:13
  you need. He's got the technique, the footwork, he flips his hips,
• 2:44:18
  he could watch a he could watch the quarterback perfectly, has great pad
• 2:44:22
  level. He's just that dude. And he showed once again tonight. Uh.
• 2:44:26
  He kept Stephan Digs quiet for the most part. So who's your best
• 2:44:30
  cornerback in the league? I just had a shout out, darn bland Just
• 2:44:33
  let me show. Let me give some cowboys love. Oh we had a
• 2:44:39
  difficulty. Fonso froze. He just froze on me. Oh I did.
• 2:44:43
  Yeah, I didn't hear what you said about Certain Oh No, I just
• 2:44:48
  basically said Certain just he's he's just the best cornerback in the league. And
• 2:44:54
  he shut down steph On Diggs and he's just that dude, pretty much,
• 2:44:58
  Okay, my best cornerback in the NFL. I'm gonna do it. It's
• 2:45:09
  true. McDuffie's Trim McDuffie. Tr McDuffie is the best cornerback. Trim McDuffie
• 2:45:16
  is the best cornerback in football. TRR McDuffie plays in the slot, arguably
• 2:45:24
  the best lot cornerback in the NFL. He can play in the middle of
• 2:45:28
  the field, he can play vertical on the outside. He's the best tackling
• 2:45:31
  cornerback in the NFL. No one can argue with me that he's not,
• 2:45:35
  because we've seen four forest fumbles. We've seen him. I think he's leading
• 2:45:39
  the league in cornerback tackles in the NFL. I'm taking tr McDuffie as the
• 2:45:45
  best cornerback in the NFL because he gets the job done. He shuts down
• 2:45:48
  your best receiver, he shuts down your number two receiver, he shuts down
• 2:45:50
  your number three receiver. It doesn't matter who you put in front of him,
• 2:45:54
  he's gonna guard him. The only time there's big plays on him is
• 2:45:58
  when he chirps on himself. That's all. And it's been like three times
• 2:46:01
  in his career where he's tripped, and I'm like, dude, come on,
• 2:46:05
  well, I'm telling you, Darron Blant, Dron Bland stats is up
• 2:46:09
  there with Trim McDuffie. I'm just saying he might not be the tackling cornerback,
• 2:46:15
  but he has more picks than Trim mc duffey. But Trim mcduffy,
• 2:46:18
  he's definitely up there in the conversation. I'll give you that. But all
• 2:46:22
  right, so next one we have this one's from Abby. Where do you
• 2:46:28
  think Derrick Henry will go? Because he's a free agent this year. If
• 2:46:37
  he has a choice, where he's going, He's gonna be a Dallas cowboy.
• 2:46:41
  He lives in Dallas, He's there every off season. His family's from
• 2:46:46
  Texas Odessa, like like his his his wife's side of the family. He's
• 2:46:52
  not He's He's gonna come to Dallas if they give him. I think he'll
• 2:46:56
  take a pay cut to come to Dallas. He's hitting a He's not gonna
• 2:47:01
  get another big contract in his career. He's just not. NFL running backs
• 2:47:03
  aren't getting contracts at age twenty four. He's not gonna get contract at age
• 2:47:07
  thirty one. He may be one of the best of all time, But
• 2:47:09
  he's not gonna get that contract. So he will go to a contender,
• 2:47:13
  and I think he will come to Texas and he will play for the Dallas
• 2:47:15
  Cowboys. So the Cowboys, I think that's a that's a good one right
• 2:47:22
  there. As far as him having Texas roots obviously, but I think this
• 2:47:28
  is a sleeper team right here. I think the Houston Texans it would be
• 2:47:31
  perfect for him to get Dereck Henry because I know Damian Peercy is their Devin
• 2:47:35
  Singletary, but just them being or him being there, he still is in
• 2:47:41
  Texas, you have a franchise quarterback that would add just another great, great
• 2:47:46
  weapon for CJ. Stroud, open up the pass game even more, which
• 2:47:48
  sounds ridiculous. So yeah, I can see that. But if it's not
• 2:47:52
  a Texas team, which team would really favor him as far as just fit,
• 2:47:58
  It would be the Baltimore rate Vans, the Baltimore Ravens. That would
• 2:48:01
  be the best fit for him. As far as going We've been talking with
• 2:48:05
  Tony Pollard. Tony Pollard is also a free agent after this year. They
• 2:48:09
  haven't they haven't, they didn't resign him. There there could be a point
• 2:48:13
  where they might let Tony Pollard walk and they're on a hunt for another receipt
• 2:48:16
  for another running back, and that might be Dereck Henry. Now we're getting
• 2:48:20
  Trade Benson this year from the Florida State. Quick playing, but all right,
• 2:48:26
  Gordon, sh uh wait, Gordon, wait from where again? Wait?
• 2:48:37
  What? H you cut out on me? Oklahoma State? Oh okay,
• 2:48:45
  okay, okay, okay, sorry you everything. It was delayed for
• 2:48:48
  a quick second. But all right, but all right, let's go ahead
• 2:48:50
  and get into this next question right here. All right, are we in
• 2:48:56
  the era of QB empowerment and are we win just seeing the end of the
• 2:49:01
  system quarterback? I guess that kind of follows up with brecon question. Brecken's
• 2:49:05
  question right there? What do you think about that? Josh? I think
• 2:49:15
  we're seeing a lot more, a lot more quarterbacks being able to escape the
• 2:49:20
  pocket, make big plays with their arms. I think I think we're just
• 2:49:24
  the evolution is happening, like it happens to everything. I think we're seeing
• 2:49:28
  the training. I think we're seeing the actual start these kids from when they're
• 2:49:33
  when they start these quarterbacks from when they're really young, get them into passing
• 2:49:37
  camps, work on their mechanics work on all this, So I think we're
• 2:49:41
  seeing the best version of quarterbacks will probably see get any higher. We might,
• 2:49:48
  there's always evolution, But I still think I don't think the system quarterback
• 2:49:52
  is leaving because there's always money involved. There will always be money involved,
• 2:49:58
  and system quarterbacks come from the chief his contracts. Jimmy Garoppolo with cheap for
• 2:50:01
  a while, Rock Purty is cheap right now, Jared Goff for a little
• 2:50:05
  bit, and say in Los Angeles was considered a system quarterback. There is
• 2:50:11
  always gonna be these quarterbacks that come through with that that can manage the game
• 2:50:15
  better than the quarterbacks with all the talent We've seen that happen. There's quarterbacks
• 2:50:18
  with major talent, but if they can't win football games, if they can't
• 2:50:20
  stop turning the ball over, there will be a quarterback that they bring in
• 2:50:24
  that will not turn the football over, that will that will just run the
• 2:50:26
  game script, that will run the place. That's a system quarterback. And
• 2:50:30
  I don't think we will ever see that leave. Yeah, No, I'd
• 2:50:33
  have to agree with you on that one. Just the system quarterback, it's
• 2:50:39
  it's just a part of the game. It's just no matter what level you
• 2:50:43
  get to, there's always gonna be a system quarterback in high school, college
• 2:50:46
  football, and pro football, because not everybody's gonna be a great quarterback in
• 2:50:50
  the league. There's gonna be somebody where it's gonna just be a great system
• 2:50:54
  around him and he's gonna just do what he has to do to win.
• 2:50:58
  But as far as for QBM power, yes, there definitely has been QB
• 2:51:03
  empowerment in there. Like you were saying, as far as just kids being
• 2:51:05
  three four years old and already trying to learn cover two or cover three,
• 2:51:11
  it's just ridiculous how smart these damn kids are getting nowadays. As far as
• 2:51:15
  for the quarterback position, they're basically being trained to be a quarterback for their
• 2:51:18
  life. That's what they're basically doing. And you could say there's a benefit
• 2:51:24
  because you have Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, Josh Allen Dak these
• 2:51:31
  offenses where they're just letting the quarterbacks rip the ball all across the field and
• 2:51:35
  they're just saying, all right, well, we'll live with that cause because
• 2:51:37
  we're just trying to just let the quarterback let the offense fall into his hands.
• 2:51:43
  And you even have some offenses where they're letting the quarterback call the plays
• 2:51:46
  or change the plays at the line of scrimmat So yes, there definitely has
• 2:51:50
  been quarterback empowerment compared to the two compared to the two thousands where they call
• 2:51:56
  in one to two plays it's either that one or this one. So yeah,
• 2:52:01
  there definitely has been QB empowerment. But all right, we have to
• 2:52:07
  huh, like with like the quarterback, with like roughing the passer and like
• 2:52:13
  all that. Yeah, yeah, it's really it's really pushing forward to protect
• 2:52:16
  the quarterback. So yes, there's like a higher degree of quarterback empowerment we've
• 2:52:20
  seen before. Oh yeah, no, no question. But all right,
• 2:52:24
  the last one of the podcast, the last Q and A that we're gonna
• 2:52:30
  do. Who is winning the Super Bowl? Josh? If there's the Kanseisities
• 2:52:39
  are going to be back to back Super Bowl champions along with m v P
• 2:52:41
  Patrick Mahomes. Oh bold statement. I don't I don't know how to answer
• 2:52:52
  this question. Should I answer this realistically or should I answer it? Uh?
• 2:52:56
  Unrealistically? You know what, the Dallas Cowboys are winning the goddamn Super
• 2:53:05
  Bowl and Dak Prescott he's going to be the MVP of the league first time
• 2:53:09
  since nineteen ninety six. Hey, I had to do it. I had
• 2:53:15
  to do it, you know, I just had to do it. If
• 2:53:18
  it doesn't happen, then all right, same old Cowboys. You know what
• 2:53:22
  there. I have nothing to lose here. I have nothing to lose here.
• 2:53:24
  But if it's right, you know what, we we have it on
• 2:53:26
  video. We have it on video. I'm pretty but I'll give you another
• 2:53:33
  answer that makes people feel better. Uh huh, wait, what did you
• 2:53:39
  say? If it's not the Kansas City Chiefs, Damn right, but all
• 2:53:46
  right, all right, goals or the Eagles if it's not, If it's
• 2:53:50
  not the Cowboys that win the Super Bowl, I'd have to say, okay.
• 2:53:56
  If if it's not okay, I'm not trying to say the Chiefs are
• 2:54:03
  cowboys here. I can't feel like, because I feel like, because we
• 2:54:07
  both picked the Chiefs and Cowboys, we're Chiefs and Cowboys fans here. So
• 2:54:11
  I'd have to say I'd have to say the Baltimore Ravens, the Baltimore Ravens.
• 2:54:16
