  Speaker 2: I mean Jerry Wiley on my football team. That's what
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I'm just. Keep it moving. Let's keep it moving.

• 0:48
  Speaker 1: we start, you guys can follow us on Twitter at
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Flying Garcia one hundred and Undersquad Fins of zero three.

• 1:18
  Speaker 2: TikTok out. Y'all should go check it out. It's pretty
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: cool content that we're making.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: It's pretty yes, sir, of course. But all right, like
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: we always do every single week, we start off with
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the sports news. So first thing, one of your guys,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: your favorite guys, JJ McCarthy torn meniscus. He is out
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: for the year. He's done so it was expected he
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: was going to be out four to six weeks, but
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: they just gave him a surgery where he's out the
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: whole year. So obviously this is a devastating loss. But
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: do you think it's smart that they're saving him for
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the future here instead of this one year.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I don't wish injuries on anyone,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: So prayer's up to JJ McCarthy hopefully Hills, but saving
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: him ain't going to do nothing. He's still not that guy,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: you know, so it's just gonna he just postponing inevitable
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: drafting another quarterback in my opinion, Well, I don't.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know, because you have Justin Jefferson who's ready
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: to win. Yes, you do have a young Matt Corral.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Bro. They sign Matt Correll.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you're right. Never mind, this team's going to
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the super Bowl. I don't know why we're talking about
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: all these other teams.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Here, we're talking about jaj McCarthy. Bro.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: But all right, this next piece of news right here
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: is Brandon Nayuk. As far as him going back to
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the Niners, him going to the Steelers. Yeah, yeah, Josh,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: he got got earlier, so quick story. I was or
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: We're both at work, and then Josh calls me saying,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Brandon Nayuk he signed an extension, but he just fell
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: for a fake Twitter account. But it happens. It happens
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: to the best of us. But I know that the
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: forty nine Ers they offer Brandon Ayuk a thirty million
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: dollar a year contract, and the Pittsburgh Steelers they still
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: have everything set up in place. They just need the
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Niners segree on a deal. So what do you think
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: is gonna happen with this? This has been going on
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: for almost a month month and a half. So what
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: do you think he's gonna be by the start of
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the season.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I have no idea where this guy is gonna be
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: that I what's the reports Either the Stillers the Steelers
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: are the favorites right now yea to land him? Mm
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: hma the way it's going, dude, it's both sides don't
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: want to budge on something, and it's it has the
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: forty nine Ers as a whole. I think that Stillers
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: are gonna keep him forward no matter if they receive
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: him or not. You know, but that's for the forty
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: nine Ers. Like I'm sure it's tough to prepare when
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: you don't know what your what your offense is truly
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: gonna look like going into the season, because brand is
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: a big part of that offense. Yeah, not one of
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: the top, one of the top parts of this offense.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: And not having him on the practice field in training
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: camp bonding with some of the new guys they have, Yeah,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: it could hurt. It could hurt some report going into
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: the season, and who knows if he's even in shape,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Like it took Chris Jones a little bit. I understand
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: the different type of player lineman compared to wide receiver.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: But for the Chiefs, it took him a little bit
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: till he finally got into actual, like real game, real
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: speed playing shape. And who knows Brandon and you get
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: is in that same type of shape.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, And he's a like you said, a defensive lineman,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: a wide receiver. They have to run even more across
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the field. And I'll always say this, no matter how
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: much you do cardio, how much you lift weights, you
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: cannot get into football shape unless you're playing football. That's
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: just part of it, because there's just a physicality to
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: it that you have to slowly start getting ready to
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: And that's why, well I think this in my opinion
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: here why starters they should play in the preseason. They
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: need to get used that physicality because it gets their
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: body reving up until the season. Because you see some
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: of these guys that don't play in the preseason, they
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: end up getting hurt early in the season because you're
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: going straight from zero to one hundred. And that's what's
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: going to happen with Brandon Iu. So again, we don't
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: pray for injury, but him missing out this entire training
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: camp and then trying to come back full blown, I
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: just don't think it's going to be possible. But as
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: far as somebody who did get hurt in training camp,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Matt Mulano, as far as one of the linebackers from
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, in my opinion, one of the best
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: linebackers in the league, tis his bicep and he's most
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: likely out for this season, but he could make a
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: return in December. So this is back to back injuries,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: or back to back years of injury. So how big
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: is this loss for the Bills.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: It's an extremely big loss. Arguably their best defensive player
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: isn't going to be on the field heading into the season,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: and how do you game plan for that. Someone else
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: gonna step up? That's to be determined. And while we're
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: already having question marks around this Buffalo Bills team offensively
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: now and understand defensively, they haven't been what they used
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: to be with a lot of the departures which you
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: dave as White not panting out because of injury. Jordan
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Boyer is gone now, so it's and then your Edmonds
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: leaving a year ago and now Matt Malono being out
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: this season. It's not looking great in Buffalo right now.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be a tough sledding to even make make
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: a run in that division, let alone the AFC.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it definitely is a tough loss. And like we mentioned,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: this is just going to put more pressure onto the
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: offense aka Josh Allen here. But as far as this,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get into this just a little bit because
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I know we're going to talk about this team a
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: little bit later. Uh. The Atlanta Falcons, they signed Justin
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Simmons and then Matt Matthew Judon from the Patriots they
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: traded for him. So two defensive splashes here. So just
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: just a little reaction of what you think of this
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: right here.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Hey, Falcons are looking pretty scary. I will get into
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: it a minute. We'll getting into it more in a minute.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: But they're looking scared. They're looking scared.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, they are looking lot.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Eighteen eight win team. We can prove into a nine
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: win team.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: But yeah, no, let's talk about that in a second. Yeah,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about that in a second.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: He's got to talk about now it is live. Now
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: that it's live, guys, now, it's live.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Look watch. I'll stand on business, but don't I don't
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: want to give away much yet. I don't want to
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: give away much.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: We never stood on business.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: And but all right, this next bit of news right
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: here is as far as college football. I know we
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: haven't talked college football, but it's starting to come back again.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: And just the preseason polls, I'm a list of top
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: ten right here. So you have number one Georgia, number
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: two Ohio State, three, Oregon four, Texas, five, Alabama six,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss seven, Notre Dame eight, Penn State, nine Michigan
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and number ten Low and behold the future national champions
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Florida State Seminals.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: So my Raiders, hell, yeah, hey, hey, happy with me.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Bro top top eighty team. I'll give it to your
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: top eighty team.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: I'll give it to you one day, one day.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: But my my question for you here, Josh, is that
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: who is your favorite to win the Heisman here for
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: this season?
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm going limb here. Okay, let's see
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Jackson Dart.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Oh wait, is that the tech quarterback?
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: No, that's the that's the Old Miss quarterback.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay, okay, okay, yeah, I went blame for
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: a second. Oh so you think Ole Miss they can
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: finish as a top four team.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: No, I think he in the heysman. I don't know.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like it's gonna be different
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: now because because usually the top four teams they win
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the Heisman.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, go ahead, So okay, I guess Jalen Milroe.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: I would take Jalen Milroll to win the Heisman, I
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: think because I do think he's gonna improve us. I
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: mean to give a little reason for Jackson Dart, but
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: then I'll switch of Jalen Milroe. Is that? Can I
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: do that?
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, yeah.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I think Jackson Jackson Dark playing on college football with him,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: he's pretty good, so I understand what kind of talent
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: he is. So that's why I'm taking him as behindsman.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: But if we're being honest, I think it's gonna Jayaln milrolle.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I think Jaylen Mirroll, coming off the type of season
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: he had last year, there was a lot to be
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: improved on. But as a runner, he was already great.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: But I do think improving as a passer, which I
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: think he will do coming into this season, is gonna
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: He's gonna prepare him to a whole other level. And
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: I can see him honestly taking that leap as the
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: best quarterback coming out of this class next year.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, that that's a strong case right there. I'm
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: not gonna lie. I can't like more.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: I like Shader more, but I do think like Jayalen
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Morroe has all the has all the all the tools
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: and the pedigree to make it well.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I'll say this, you kind of make a good point
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: with Jackson Dart because how jack and Jaylen Daniels. He
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: won it last year. He wasn't a top four team.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: But usually, for the most part, a top four team wins,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: but or top four team, a player on that team
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: wins a Heisman. So I don't know how it's gonna
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: be because you can't say best player on the best team. Now,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: with's a mixture of stats and everything and a whole
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: bunch of different stuff. But I'm gonna say this. Obviously
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: there's Jalen Milroe, there's Quinn Eewers. But I'm not gonna lie.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not. I think, yes, he is good, but I'm
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: not buying the hype that he's this number one quarterback
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: going into the draft. Personally me, I think you should yeah, exactly, Yeah,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I'm not sold. After that championship or semi finals, championship game,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of if he now, but I'm have These
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: are two dart throws, and I'm gonna just I'm gonna
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: just list my dart throws. So first one is Cam
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Wood from Miami because he transferred over from Washington State.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: And I think this Miami football team is gonna be
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: damn good. And they could honestly other than Florida State,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: they could be eleven and one or possibly twelve and
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: oh so this this could be looking very perfect for
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the Miami Hurricanes. And then another guy from Kansas. You've
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: personally played against him? When I? Oh, no, have I
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: played you with Kansas on college football?
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Have I?
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: You haven't experienced a rat yet? No? But j but
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Jalen Daniels from Kansas. Oh that's what was Yeah, Yeah,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Jalen Daniels from Kansas. This dude, he's just a dual
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: threat quarterback. If he stays on the field, then he's
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: gonna just be wrecking shot. And this is another team
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: again in the Big twelve where it's completely wide open.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Texas isn't there, OHU isn't there. So they could be
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: looking really nice this year.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: But all right, so is I do think though, is
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: the best quarterback in the country. I wholeheartedly believe that.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: I do think he's his most accurate passer. I do
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: think he can prove on his what's the word I'm
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: looking for on his when getting the ball before the
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: player breaks, like getting it not waiting until he's open.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: What's that? Yeah, he could work on his anticipation where
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: he's able to hit them when they're already breaking or
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: into some tough, tougher windows than he is doing. But
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: I do think him having a better offensive line this
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: season than he did last year may help him out.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying he's winning Heisman, but I do think
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: he's the best quarterback going into next season. I'm going
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: down to the next into this next draft.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, that that completely makes sense because look at
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the past few years as far as well. You could
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: even go to last year's draft, Caleb Caleb Williams and
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: then Jalen Daniels or Jayden Daniels. They weren't necessarily on
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the best teams, but they were the best quarterbacks, if
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: that makes sense, because you can't say Stet's and Bennett
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: he was better because he had the better overall team. No,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: it's not how it works. So yeah, No, I could
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: agree with you. I'll probably say it's Shadeer Sanders. Then
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: personally me, I think Jaylen Milroe he's number two, He's
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: gonna be number two. And then I'll right now yours, Yeah,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I'll put Queen yours.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I just feel like has to show up when
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: it matters the most. Sometimes I feel like sometimes he
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: kind of he kind of shies away in some of
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: the big moments and he's just not hitting the throws
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: he's used to hitting. Because I do I do think
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: he's the best thrower of the football for sure, like
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: pure thrower. But putting it all together, I feel like
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: he has a lot, he has a lot he still
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: has to do.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: So I have one more question for you. So as
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: far as with this Texas team, this Texas team, they're
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: ready to win. And Quinn Ewers, yes, he is nice,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: but you have possibly one of the best prospects behind
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: you and arch Manning. So I feel like Quinn yours
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: he's gonna have a short leash this year because arch
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Manning he's gonna be coming for that spot. So my
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: question to you is, do you think arch Manning is
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: gonna take his spot midway through the season.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm a queen youwers fan. I don't want to
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: see that happen. I watched him play in high school
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: when he played against our high school at Permian, when
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: he set out against our high school in the playoffs
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: because they were just too good to play our high school.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: But I'm a Quinn you were fanning, I don't want
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: to see that happen. But honestly, if he does have
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: one or two bad games, arch Manny is gonna go
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: into the football game. I'm not I'm not sure when,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: but if that happens, arts Many is gonna play play
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: this season. Because I don't think you said, I don't
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: think the plan was for him to sit two seasons.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: I think the plan was for Hi to sit freshman
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: and then Quinn Ewres goes into the draft and then
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: he comes up and takes over as a sophomore. But
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: since on the flip side, it didn't happen that way,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: I think it put it's put Texas in a kind
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: of a hard situation to let a quarterback that's not
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: doing particularly great keep playing.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know, no question so, and I think
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: it's just high risk, high reward for Quinn yours because
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: if he was out there and then they winning the
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: national championship, he could easily be the first overall pick
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: in the draft. But say if he flops, not only
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: do you lose your starting job, but your draft stock too.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: I don't think he'll fall like what Spencer Rattler did,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: but I think that he'll possibly fall maybe to the
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: second or third round instead of being a top ten
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: overall pick. But is there anything.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Else about Okay, I know what a sleeper he's gonna
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: be a I guess he would be a true freshman.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: He would not he'd be a freshman this year, a
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: red shirt freshman Nico from Tennessee. I don't want to
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: say his last name Alama. Yeah it's hard, but yeah,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: but he was a dog in that in that little
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: bowl game he played, and he was the number one
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: quarterback and crew coming out of his class. And yeah,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I do think he can make a little, a little
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: statement this year. I'm not saying win Heisman, but I
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: think he can be in that consideration.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think. I think there's a couple of games.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Ask me why I can know the Tennessee schedule off
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: the top of my head, but yeah, I know they're
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I know, I know they played Georgia and Bama this year,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: and I think it's at both of those places. If
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: he could win one of those games right there, then maybe,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: just maybe, because I think those are the only two
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: tough teams they face, and they're already a top fifteen team,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: So maybe he.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Can make a quarterback. He's a very good quarterback, Yeah
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: he is. So he could possibly be the best quarterback
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: in the country if he puts it all together. Yeah.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: No, easily, easily he could be. But all right, is
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: there any college football you want to talk about before
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: we get into the next topic?
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: TODs Brooks sleep. All right, let's keep moving.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: You know what, DJ let me try to say his
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: last name, DJ alonga lay alonga lay I can't say.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I can't say his last name. I tried. Florida State quarterback.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I just had a shout out Florida State real quick.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: But again, Brooks running back.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: All right, So we, like we've been doing these past
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: four weeks, we give the AFC and NFC and a
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: certain division a breakdown, and this week it's the South.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: So first we're gonna start off with the AFC South,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna start off with one of the teams
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: who's been the most talked about teams all off season,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: and that's the Houston Texans. Here, the Houston Texans obviously
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: CJ Stroud, he had a great year last year, Nico Collins, Tankdale,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: but then they added Joe Mixon, They added Stefan Diggs
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: in the off season, so there's plenty of hype going
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: into this season. So my question to you is how
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: good are the Texans going to be? Are they going
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: to live up to that hype?
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Well, when you make the biggest signing of all the
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: free agency and Tommy Townsend, the three time Super Bowl
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: champion for the Kansas City Chiefs, your team's gonna get
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: instantly better, you know. So just that move alone, just
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: create makes the Houston Texans a lot scarier because every
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: punt they're gonna have is gonna be magnificent. Rather than
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: that move, we can get into the others. This seems scary.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: They got instantly more scary, especially trading for and bringing
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: in Stephan Dicks. Having Stephan Diggs on this football team.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: They didn't need Stephan Dicks. They could have totally built
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: with who they already have, Nico, Nico Dollins, Nico Collins,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Tank Dell. They still have Robert Woods, Noah Brown, and
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: people still forget that their first round draft pick from
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: two years ago. John mentioned the third is finally healthy,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: like he he got sick his first year set out
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: the whole season last year was kind of a ramp
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: up getting back used to football play this year. Who
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: knows what he could bring to the table, especially not
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: really getting an opportunity to show truly show who he
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: is and still being a former first round pick. I
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: do think there's a lot of potential there. So this
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: wide receiver room could possibly be already be the best
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: in the entire NFL with just Stefon Diggs, Nico Collins,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: and Tank Dell alone. But here's the thing. I don't
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: think Stefan DEKs is the number one on this team.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: I think it's Nego Collins, and so I do think
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: them too playing off of each other and having taken
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: out it's just scary. And then you already have Dalton Schultz,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: and then you drafted Kate Drover and you still have
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Revan Jordan. This offense instantly got insane. The Houston Texans said,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: what rebuilt? We're not We're not waiting. We're not waiting
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: for CD Strow to get deeper into this contract. We're
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: gonna go all in right now. We saw enough and
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: then we even saw that on the defensive side. If
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: we want to look at them, bring and Danielle Hunter,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Ward, these these moves put this puts these teams over,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: put this team over the top, and these texts are
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: going to be a lot scarier than they've been over
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: the last twenty years.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, this was easily one of the quickest rebuilds,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: successful rebuilds that I've seen in a while. And like
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: you were mentioning as far as all the weapons, but
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I think this offensive line, they were already damn good
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: last year, but I think they're going to be even
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: injuries better. Yeah, it was injuries that held them held them,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna be even better. And one
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: of these guys that I'm gonna go and list my
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: breakout player, Jewe Scruggs. I know nobody knows that name yet.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: So he played the last three games of the regular season,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: and he was a second round pick, had plenty of talent,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: but I think he's gonna pop up and he's gonna
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: solidify that offensive line. The center, it's the quarterback of
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: the offensive line. That's other than left tackle, it's the
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: most important position on the offensive line. And like you
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: were saying, the trio of Stefan Diggs, Nigo Collins, Tank
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Dell can't. You can't double cover any of those guys.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: And even if you do, you still have Joe Mixon
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: in the backfield, and not necessarily that.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Joe mix id even mention Joe Mixon I forgot completely.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, So Joe Mixon. I know he's not the
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: same running back he was maybe a couple of years ago,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: but he's still easily, at bare minimum a top fifteen
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: running back, and behind one of the best offensive lines
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: and best wide receiver trios in the league, you're gonna
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: look damn good. So I think the biggest thing that
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: kind of concerns me is that is there gonna be
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: a sophomore slump for CJ. Stroud. There's a little bit
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: more film on him. Not only not only is he
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: learning how to play in the NFL, but teams are
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: learning how to play against him, you know what I mean.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: They know how to scheme against him. So that's gonna
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: just be the only that's the only thing that's holding
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: him back. In my opinion, I don't even think it's
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: holding them back. I still do think they're gonna be
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: one of the best damn teams in the AFC, And honestly,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: we'll see if they go toe to toe with the Chiefs.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to give away my predictions for next week,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: but I kind of am my MVP here is gonna
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: be CJ. Stroud And then, like like I said, my
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: breakout player is Juice scrugs.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: It feel like for me, my MVP without a doubt
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: is CJ. Stroud. I do think he's gonna I don't.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: I do think he's set up to not even sniff
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: a sophomore slump. I do think he's he's gonna move on.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: He's gonna move into this year and be better and
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: to be better. And if he's gonna be better, that's
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: gonna be a damn good football player. And they set
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: him up perfectly fine to do that. Good offensive line,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: great weapons around him, bringing in a veteran running back
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: who knows what to do when he has the ball
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: in his hands, who's that reliable target out of the backfield.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Cejon Shroud has that now with Joe Mixon. But my
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: breakout player I'm gonna go with. I know he's been
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: in the league a little bit, but I feel like
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Jalen Petrie has a little bit more to give. I
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: do think he's already a good safety, but I do
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: think he can become a great safety, and I feel
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: like this is the season that he takes that next
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: step forward.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And one more thing on the Texans Derek Stingly,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: I feel like he hasn't even tapped into his full
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: potential yet of what he was drafted at. So I
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: think even he could be a breakout player here.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Being he's already been good.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, but he was drafted as or to be
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: a great cornerback. He was what Sauce or he was
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: expected to be what Sauce Gardner is. But I still
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: feel like he can make that jump. But we'll see
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: second year under Damico Ryans. But as far as this
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: next team in the AFC South, it's the Tennessee Titans
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: here and this team, they were one of the most interesting.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: They were one of the most active teams in free agency.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: So they got Tony Pollard, Lloyd Cushion, Berry, Chidobe Awoozie,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Kenneth Murray Junior, and then they got Tyler Boyd. And
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: then they also got a new head coach from the
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: from the Cincinnati Bengals. I don't know why I went
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: blank on his name, but I'll give that to you
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: in a second. And then obviously you have Will Levis
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: in his second year. So first I want to ask,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: is Will Levis gonna make that jump? And how good
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: are the Titans gonna be?
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: I used to not be leaver and Will Levis. Will
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Levis is that guy, especially after seeing that latest Will
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Levis Mayonnai's cologne commercial that just came out. I know,
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: I know he's pried for great things because he has
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: that dog in him. And I don't know, I do
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: think he has all that. He has the arm talent
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: for sure, he had. He's able to run, He's a mobile,
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: He's a little bit mobile. I do think they kind
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: of set him up a little bit to succeed and
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: bringing him veterans, veteran receivers and Calvin Riley de Hop
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: and Tyler Boyd to be his one, two and three.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: That's that's some pretty good people to have around you,
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: especially to help you grow because I don't think there's
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: a lot of people that know the game more than
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: some of those than those guys at their respective positions,
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: and then you still have the what if of trailing Burke.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: I understand that he's been ridicule, ridiculed with injury his
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: entire career, but I do think there's still some on
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: tap potential there and they trade they traded for him.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: I do think in the games he has played, he
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: has shown even in what was the play where he
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: caught a touchdown and got a concussion on.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: So.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: I remember this dude, This dude catches no breaks. And
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: then you bring in jact laid them to along with
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Pierce Kronsky last year. The offensive line is instantly getting better,
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: and I do think they're setting up Will Levis for success.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: And then yeah, two reliable running backs. I think Tony Pollard,
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: who knows if he's still the same guy he was
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: two year see two seasons ago, but I think to
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Spears is on the come up for sure.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So I went blank on the head coach. But
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: his name is Brian Callahan. He came from the from
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals. He was the offensive coordinator and one
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: thing like you're like you were kind of mentioning too.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: So so one thing like you were mentioning too, they're
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: going to be passing the ball a lot. I know,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: D hope he is hurt. But like you mentioned Tyler Boyd,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Calvin Bridley, who I didn't even mention, Tony Pollard and
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Taj Spears. Those are guys who catch the football out
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: of the backfield. So they're really trying to see, Okay,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: can will Levis actually be this top ten quarterback. They're
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: putting all these pieces around him, Like you said, they
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: drafted JC Latham, Peter Scarancy, Lloyd Cushionberry, so we're gonna
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: see as all dependent on will Levis. I feel like
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: there's more than enough pieces. But what really intrigues me
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: here is the defense. I didn't even mentioned Lagerius Sneed,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Qandre Diggs, and then they got Jamal Adams, I know
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: he's kind of passed his prime. And then you got
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: to and Andre Sweat in the draft. So you already
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: have Jeffrey Simmons, you already have Ardent Key, you already
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: have Armani Hooker there. So there's nice pieces there. Yes,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: it may be a young team and an under a
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: new head coach, but I still feel like they could
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: make a real threat to make that make the playoffs
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: in my opinion. I know where I said jokingly Josh
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: about I think it was about two months ago that
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans they could make the playoffs. But I'm
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: not gonna lie. I still do think they could make
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: the playoffs here. I really do see that. I'm not
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: gonna give away my division leaders yet, but yeah, I
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: still do think they could make the playoffs here. But
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: as far as my breakout player, you mentioned him, Taj Spears.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Taj Spears, at least Fantasy football wise, this dude has
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: gotten plenty of hype and I think he can live
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: up exactly to that hypeier in my opinion. And as
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: far as my MVP, I was gonna go Will Levis,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go Jeffrey Simmons here because he's a
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: glue to the entire defense. And I'll say this, if
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: the defensive line of this can wreck shop, then the
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans are going to be able to stay in
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: a bunch of games this year.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: No, I agree with what you're saying kind of with
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: the defense bringing in the Ghats need you know, most
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: best lockdown cornerback in the entire NFL shut down every
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: one in their mama last year and still got snubbed
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: first team off Pro makes no sense to me. But
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: they get a dog, they get a Super Bowl champion.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Iligerious needs someone that brings that championship pedigree to this roster.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: But plus, I'm gonna look at the interior of the defense,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Jeffrey Simmons and to vaugh and jer Swett, I think
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: that's gonna be some one of the scariest one to
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: two combos and tier and the centers guards. They're gonna
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: have to deal with this and it's gonna be hard
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: for them. And I do think Tinobi Wuzier, I feel
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: like he's gone a little bit of a bad rap
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: in some games, but I do think he still has
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: that potential that he's not gonna be this He's gonna
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: be a good, solid role player for this defense, and
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: I do think he can. He considered the five couple
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: of spots re guarding some of some of the number
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: two the number three corners on the opposite teams. But
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: as for me, my MVP, I think it is gonna
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: be will Lewis I think I do think he had
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: I do think he showed a lot last year, a
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: lot more than a lot of people anticipated, especially what
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: he had to go through slipping to the second round.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: But I do think I'm not saying he'll be anywhere
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: near CJ. Stroud, but I do think he could be
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: in that tier a tier below that, and I do
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: that could be fighting to be around that nine to
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: ten best quarterback area in the entire NFL. And then
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: if we're gonna look at my breakout player, I mean,
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: you kind of picked them ta J Spears. When you're
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: stealing carries away from Derrick Henry in your rookie season,
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: the team knows you have potential. And yeah, I believe
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Tony Poulter isn't as good as Derrick Henry. So I
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: do think Taj Spears is gonna get a lot of
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: burn this year.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll definitely see. I feel like this team, they
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: may not have a bunch of flashy names on their team,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: but I feel like this is gonna be a fun
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: team to watch here. But let's go to move on
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: to this next team right here, in which it's the
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars here who they had a great start to
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: the season start, but again, the season doesn't end at
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: eight games, so they only had two losses and they
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: were first in the AFC at one point, and then
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: after the Monday night football game against the Cincinnati Bengals,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: they completely fell out of the playoffs. So this is
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: definitely looking like or they're trying to bounce back from
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: last year. So they lost Calvin Ridley, but they got
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Gabe Davis, they got Brian Thomas Junior. They re signed
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen the defensive end this offseason. Zay Jones isn't there,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: so just moves around the edges. So question are the
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars gonna bounce back? And most importantly, it's Trevor
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Lawrence gonna live up to the contract that he got
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: this offseason.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: If you're asking me if they're gonna better than the Texans,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say no. But I don't know this AFC stack.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: They're gonna have to go through some gamlets. I'm sure
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: I haven't looked at their schedule, but if you're in
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: the AFC, you're probably playing some tough teams and you
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: have to play the Texans twice a year. I think
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: the Titans always give a run for people's money because
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: they played good defense and run the ball. But I
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: think they're gonna be a little bit different this year.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: And then you even got the Colts too. Theydan faced with,
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: don't I don't believe. I believe they lost when ar
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: played against them last year when he did play in
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: that one time. And also he's going to be healthy
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: this season, and they're going to have completely new weapons
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: coming into this season. So I have no prediction of
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: what the Jacks really truly are going to be. They
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: have a lot to prove. Trevor Lawrence has a lot
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: to prove if he's really that generational quarterback. He was
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: supposed to be the next Peyton Manning, the next top
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: quarterback in this league. That's what they were comparing him to,
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: was Peyton Manning, and he hasn't looked up to that.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: He had. He did great his sophomore season. I believe
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: when they came back on the Chargers, that was a
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: sophomore season. Since this is the third year or fourth year,
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: he's going into his fourth year, right, Yeah, Okay, so
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: his second season, he really he really showed out. He
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: didn't even added some value rushing to this team, which
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: made up but then he just took a step back
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: last year. I don't know what it was. I don't
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: know if it was trying to build some rapport with
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Calvin Ridley, because when we saw Calvin Riley come off
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: the field, immediately he had connections with Christian Kirk, and
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: Christian Kirk rose to back back being what he was
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: the season before. And I do think that's that's the
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: connection that they need to find is Trevor Lawrence Christan Kirk.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Because Christian Kirk lived up to his contract that a
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: lot of people were kind of especially me too, were
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: kind of like, what, Christian Kirk don't deserve that much money,
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: and they can rebuild that relationship. I do think this
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: team's gonna it can It's gonna go a long way
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: for this team, but all not only for Christian Kirk.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: They drafted Brian Thomas Junior, who I do think has
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: a lot of potential. Probably that has the most potential.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: I get there's Marvin Harrison's most potential, but like a
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: guy that can kind of reach past a little bit
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: of what he showed in college. Brian Thomas Junior is
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: probably that guy, and they got him on this football
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: team in the first round, and I do think he can.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: He has star receiver potential and he can he can
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'm not saying he does that this year, but
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: he can hover around that nine hundred yard mark. I
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: do think that's a successful successful year for this team
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: with him. And they signed one of my least favorite
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: players and gave Davis, but that's more fantasy wise. And
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: then he played for the Bills. But every one out
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: of four games, he's gonna give you that good game.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Just when can you time it right? So this is
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: just something to wait for it because traft T and
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: I believe is gonna give give what he gave last year,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: but he kind of he kind of fell off toward
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: the end of the season. If he can keep it
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: going after the entire season or even utilizing Bixby in
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: a bigger role, this team could kind of could improve
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: from last year.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I think obviously, no matter how much, this
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: is a good team right here. This is a solid team.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Not really much weaknesses here, but it's just a solid team.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: But it's going to depend on Trevor Lawrence. Can you
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: bounce back, can you have that, can you replicate the
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: sophomore year that you had, because, like you mentioned, this
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: AFC stack, you have CJ. Stroud, Anthony Richardson, and Will
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Levis just in your division. So after after last year,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: you could be battling or going into this year for
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: being one of the worst quarterbacks in your own owned division,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: let alone Pat Mahomes justin Herbert, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. So he definitely needs to improve. In that
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: fifty million dollar a year contract, it he should improve.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: But I think this team is going to have to
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: run through Travis Etn. It's gonna have to because he
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: is one of the most explosive and dynamic backs in
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: the league. And I just think if you could get
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: the run game going, then everything else will start flowing.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: You'll be able to hit Gabe Davis over the top,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Brian Thomas he'll be open, and then that's when Christian
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Kirk in between in the middle of the field he
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: could get open. But one person that I'm looking at
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: to improve, who I think he will improve on the
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: defensive end, who's going to be my breakout is Trayvon Walker.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: He was a first round pick last year, first overall pick,
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: so he had some spurts last year where he was good,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: but I think he needs to take two seasons ago.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: My bad obviously, will you know what I mean?
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: But I think that he's gonna have injury. Please. Last
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: year we had injury police in the comments on TikTok
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: bro we had the injury police.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we have to be correct, Yeah, we have
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: to be correct here. So yeah, no, Trayvon Walker, I
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: think that he needs to take that next step. And
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: if you have him and Josh Allen right next to
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: each other, you could have potentially two of the best
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: defensive ends or defensive lines in the draft or in
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: the NFL, then you're really going to be cooking with something.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter how good your secondary end is if
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: the other quarterback is on the floor within two three seconds.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: So Travis etn he's my MVP here. Trayvon Walker, he's
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: my breakout player here.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: I think this defense is also good too. It's just
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: the AMC is so stacked. All the teams are good.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: But Josh Josh Hines Allen now not to be confused
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: with Josh Allen anymore. He's already he's all pro, He's
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: all pro potential talent right there. Trayvon Walker was drafted
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: first overall just because of his raw physical potential potential.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: He just needs to live up to that. Aiden Hutchinson
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: has been out out working him, out playing him, and
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: they've and he's forever gonna be known as the guy
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: that got drafted before Aiden Hutchinson. So he has to
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: he has to. He has to step up this year.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: It's this third season. Now is the time they're They're linebackers,
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: some of the speediest guys. They can cover tight ends,
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: they can they can blitz, they can do a lot
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: of things there they have. They have some of the
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: most versatile linebackers and Olowoken and Devin Lloyd year and
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: you're out. And then as far as these safeties, I've
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: always liked Andre Cisco. Darnell Savage has been good throughout
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: his career. But Andre Cisco, I believe he's a big hitter.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: He he likes to he likes contact, and he kind
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: of that old school safety. And I saw him he
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: could basically kill my boy Juju Smith Schuster. But and
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: he but he does that game in and game out.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: He plays with that same type of energy. He brings
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: a lot to this defense. It's just can they put
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: it all together as a team entirely. That's something to
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: be seen, because something to see because they started the
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: season off good last year and it completely spiraled out
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: of control, much like the Eagles did. Yeah, but for me,
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: my m VP is gonna have to be Trevor Lawrence.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: And Trevor Lawrence isn't what what isn't what his second
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: year was and a little bit better. His team isn't
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: gonna do much. And as far as my breakout player,
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: let me see, let me see who my breakout player,
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: I haven't. Haven't thought this through too much break.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Honestly, I was tempted to put Brian Thomas Junior. I'm
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: not gonna lie because I think he could be that.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: I feel like I'm gonna go with Brian Thomas Jr.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: I do think that he I feel like all these
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: other guys I've been here for a little bit, that
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: they're they're already there. It's just they've been to the playoffs.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: This this roster is kind of the same it was
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: two years ago. So Brian Thomas Junior being the new
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: guy on the team, being that star that they need.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: I do think he can live up to I do
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: think he can. He can turn into a star receiver
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: and he's gonna be my breakout player for this team.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, all right, let's go in and move on
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: to this last team here in the AFC South in
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: which is as Colts. Here. So after last year, you
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: got Anthony Richardson in the first round last year, and
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: he had some spurts he had he played two and
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: a half games, so and he looked good in those games.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: But as far as the moves they made in the offseason,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: you got Joe Flacco, a good backup quarterback. Then just
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: resigning your players right here, Michael Pittman, Zaire Franklin, Kenny Moore,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Julian Blackman, Rokwan Davis, Grover Stewart. So just retaining assets here,
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: that was the biggest thing. And then then you got
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: lots lots in the draft. So this team, there's a
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: bunch of question marks here. So my biggest thing to
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: you right here, and I feel like a bunch of
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: people are wondering this too. Can Anthony Richardson.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: Be barring injury because he plays out of control? He
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: doesn't he doesn't slide, he doesn't embrace for contact, he
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: takes it On. It was kind of the same Cam
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: Newton problem. Cam Newton would look for contact. I understand
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: he was a little bit before the quarterback started getting
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: protect it and he was getting killed every single play.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson kind of has a luxury of being protected,
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: but he still needs to protect his own body. If
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: he doesn't, We're not going to see a lot of
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson this year. We're not going to see a
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: lot of Anthony Richardson in his entire career. He's just
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: going to be there injured with a lot of potential.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: But yes, Anthony Ridgerson can be the can be that
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: guy for this team, and he showed it last season
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: in the little Spurts that he did play, he was
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: a problem. I believe if he played the entire season,
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: he would have been battling Anthony Richardson a lot more.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: He would have been battling CJ. Strat a lot more
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: for that Rookie of the Year award and even possibly
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: being the best rookie quarterback in this class because he
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: was showing that that dual threat potential. And I do
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: think adding ADENI Mitchell along with Michael Pittman Junior, who
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: knows Josh Downs, he's out for a while.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: He's out four to six.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: Okay, So having Josh Downs, who played great last year
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: in his rookie season, by the way, those that's a
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: good trio to have as your wide receiver group. And
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: then and then having the sure fire it's starting running
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: back next to you should take a lot of pressure
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: off of you because I don't think Jonathan Taylor was
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: there to start when Anthony Richardson was playing. Having Jonathan
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: Taylor now is going to do a lot more because
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: it can take a lot more pressure. He's not gonna
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: have to run the ball as much, and he's gonna
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: have that security blanket out of the backfield who can
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: take it to the hats anytime he puts the ball
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: in his every time he gets the ball in his hands.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: So any Richardsons set up, I do think these quarterbacks
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: in this division are set up to succeed. I don't
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: think any of these teams have done these quarterbacks wrong.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: It's just can these quarterbacks put it together?
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's gonna be the biggest thing. And I have
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: high hopes for Anthony Richardson this year. And I think
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: what Shaane Stychen He's about to do with this team
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: right here. He already likes running the football. We saw
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: this with the Philadelphia Eagles. He loved to run the ball.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: But with two of the most dynamic runners of the
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: football on the same team in the same backfield, it's
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: gonna be something really scary and something I feel like
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: that's gonna be even way scarier than what we saw
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: with the Philadelphia Eagles. So I think again, like you're
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: mentioning Anthony Richardson if he stays healthy, but you do
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: have a good backup in Joe Flacco. You almost made
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: the playoffs last year with Gardner Minshew. Personally me, I
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: would take Joe Flacco over Gardner Minshew and a heartbeat
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: because he has way more upside and can throw the
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: ball down the field. So there's definitely his weapons around him.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: I know Josh Downs he isn't there, but Alex Pearce
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: he still is a good pick or he still is
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: a good player. They drafted in the second round the
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: year before, so three years ago. Then you still have
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Molei Cox here as far as tight end Jelannie Woods.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: So there's nice pieces. So I think the biggest thing
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: right here is the defense. It is solid, but I'm
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: expecting this one player to break out, and this player
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: is Juju Brents. He's a cornerback. So when Kenny Moore
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: he was in and out of the lineup last year,
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Juju Brents he got stepped up or stepped up as
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: far as in the starting role. Yes, he was in
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: and out, but whenever he did play, he was a
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: dynamic player and he was a lockdown corner. So I'm
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: expecting him to make that next jump and I think
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: he could easily be a top ten corner in this
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: league if healthy. If healthy from what I saw last year,
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: because I think he is that good. But obviously my.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: MVP, well they already he already has a good cornerback
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: to kind of learn from. And as Kenny Moore, Canore
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: has been a consistent good quarterback, quarterback, good cornerback in
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: this NFL, especially coming off a couple of Pro Bowls.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: I believe he might have made it All Pro Team.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: I don't help me on that. I think he might have,
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: but he's been a consistent good cornerback. Especially him he
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: learned from Stefan Gilmore. So it's just it's just a
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: passing of the church. A little bit. Kenny Moore's not
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: that old, but he can he can pass on some wisdom.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: But for me, my MVP, he's gonna be Jonathan Taylor.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: I do I think Jonathan Taylor is the best player
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: on this football team. He's the star of this football team.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: He if went healthy, he he brings a lot of energy,
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: he brings a lot, he brings a lot more to
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: the table for this football team night. He's the MVP
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: of this team. For me, my breakout player, he's gonna
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: have to be Anthony Richardson. I think Anthony Richardson left
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: a lot of us wondering what could he do a
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: what if situation? Because what he showed in his first
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: couple of games was great. But when you're out the
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: rest of the season, it's kind of hard for us
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: to put a gauge on what you are, on what
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: you actually are when team's game plan for you. And
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: I think in this year, I do think he can
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: show a lot more than what he did show us.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: And that's especially running the football. It's gonna be scary.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: So he's my breakout player. Anthony Richardson.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess I'm just I'm just gonna be early
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: to the party. That's that's one thing out of mind.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: If I'm completely wrong on this player, I'm wrong, but
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: I'm personally me. I feel like, if if I could
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: make a bet, I'm twenty years old. I can't make
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: a bet yet legally, legally, I had to make a
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: bet on somebody to break.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: Out a law abiding podcast.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: We are a law abiding podcast. I'll send it to Josh.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: But anyways, anyways, if I had a bet on somebody
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: to break out, it would definitely be Anthony Richardson. Yeah, exactly.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: But let's go in and get into division leaders here.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: I feel like this one's very interesting right here, because
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: this is a competitive division.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: Tricky. This is a tricky one.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: It is it is, so all right, We're gonna.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: Let well, let's start from the talk real quick. You
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: want to start saying time, I'm sure? Are you sure?
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: One two day? We're going to say the team on
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: two three. If you think the Colts are going to
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: be above the text division, I really do think I
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: are insane.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: I really think that you are. That's what I was saying.
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: That's what I say right here. Tell why you think
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: the Indianapolis Colts are going to finish above the Houston
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: Texans in this division.
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, like I mentioned, I don't mind being
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: early to the party, or I don't mind being dead wrong.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: I think Anthony, I don't know.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: This is the friendly podcast. Whoa, this is a friendly
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: podcast here there. So I think the Colts are going
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: to finish first in this division. Like I said, I
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: don't mind being early to the party. I think Anthony
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: Richardson I feel like he's going to establish himself as
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: a top ten quarterback this year in my opinion, And
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: I think with the run game of Jonathan Taylor and
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: the defense has always been solid, And I prefer Shane
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: Steichen over Demiko Ryans because I feel like these quarterbacks
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: they kind of wash. Yeah, because as far as offensively
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: the offensive.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: Head coach that the Texans defense is nice bro even
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: with doubt Demo Ryans. The year before they were good
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: without him, and last season he just put them over
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: the top.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I definitely see that. But just how I
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: think of it, I feel like Anthony Ridgison is going
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: to make that next step up there with CJ. Shroud,
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: So it's to wash, and I prefer an offensive head
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: coach over a defensive head coach because look at the
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: success we've had as far as in the playoffs lately,
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: it's been offensive head coaches. It hasn't been defensive head
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: coaches over these past five six years. Why do you
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: think Bill Belichick has kind of fallen and Andy Reid
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: he's kind of risen up. Obviously you have you have
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and the other one didn't have Tom Brady.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: But you look around the league too. Offensive head coaches
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: are getting or having more success in the league. And
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: it's just facts. So that's why I have the Colts
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: number one, because I think Anthony ridgs that well.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: With all that being said, I strongly disagree. I think
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: this it's going to be the Texans division to lose.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: I think the Texans are going to finish first clearly
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: in this division. They might even win every divisional game
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: this season. Is how confident I am in the Texans.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: And if you want to watch the quarterback, sure we
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: can do that. And we can take Jonathan Taylor both
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: Joe Mixon easily. I'm not going to argue against that.
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: But if we're taking the rest of this team besides
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: Quenton Nelson, I'm taking every other player above this team
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: you know, Stefon Diggs, Stefon Diggs, Tankdlle, Nico Collins. I'm
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: taking Pittman, Josh Downs, ed I Mitchell. If we want
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: to go deeper, Robert Woods is better than Alex Pearce,
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: who want to go deeper. John Metchi's better than Nashon Dolan.
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: So I'm taking the whole Texans wide receiver court over
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: the Colts wide receiver court. Tight end. I'm taking Dalton
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: Schultz a defense, I'm taking Danielle Hunter, will Anderson. I'm
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: taking Jalan Petree, Jimmy Ward. I'm taking some of these guys.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: I understand Kenny Moore. Kenny Moore is probably the best
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: corner between all two teams as of right now. But
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: Deck Stingley Junior is right there. That's why I'm taking
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: the Houston Texans easily. And the other team doesn't have
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: Tommy Townsend. So I'm telling you this Texans team, over
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: the top, this Texans team from top to bottom, is
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: better than this Indianapolis Colts team. And I do believe
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: Demiko Ryans has shown enough to it doesn't matter what
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: kind of coaches on the other side that his defensive
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: his defensive skill set is going to show out. We
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: even saw that versus Cleveland, how Cleveland was wrecking teams
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: offensively when Joe Flacco came in, and then in the
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: and then in the divisional round they shut him down completely.
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: I believe getting two picks is two pick sixes, and
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: believe three or four picks in the whole and even
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: a fumble. I believe. So he knows when the turn up,
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: when the moment's right, and he's been in big game situations,
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: especially losing to the Chiefs in the Super Bowl one year.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: But that's besides the point. But I'm taking the Texans
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: easily number one on this in this division.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: So yes, the Texans, they may have a better quote
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: unquote roster, but it's not they may not have a flashy.
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: Michael Pittman is not Stefan Biggs and Josh Downs not Nico.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: So as far as defensively, I feel like, yes, Texans
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: may have votes. I really think it's close. And I'll
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: say this as far as offensively, there's two different fun
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: there's there's two different philosophies as far as offensively. Shane
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: Styken wants to run the ball and Bobby Slovak with
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: the Texans they're trying to pass the ball down the field.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: So two different play styles. So you really can't compare
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: the two, if that makes sense, because one is trying
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: to run the ball to the clock. Other team is
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: trying to score at will. So we'll we'll see, we'll
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: have to we'll have to bet the first game Colton Texans.
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: Whenever to put it, we don't remember a bet from
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: last week, because I do. I don't remember it from
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: last week. No, well you can. We can put a
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: friendly dug on this one too, because your Doug respectfully, respectfully,
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: because it's going to be so easy for me to
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: win this bet.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, yeah, I'm perfectly confident in that. But all right,
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: so number two, who you have Number two here?
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: I hope you have the Texans because if you didn't say,
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: we would have had a problem.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: I got to know.
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: Number two for me is going to be the Jacksonville Jaguars.
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: I believe in Doug Peterson, I believe in Trevor Lawrence.
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: I believe in the boys. They've been there before. I
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: believe last year was kind of like, ah, dang uh,
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: just a mess up situation. I don't think we're kind
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: of the Eagles out either. So I believe that the
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguars have that potential. Trevor Lawrence I hope still
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: live up to his potential, and so I'm taking that team.
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: I do think they have a good defense. Their defense
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: I don't think was the problem is. It really came
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: down the offense trying to move the ball and traxic
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: team kind of burning out towards the end of the season.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: It's a lot more experienced. This team is still young,
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: they're still learning, and I believe that they could finish
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: second in this division.
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: So I already mentioned the Texan second, We're not going
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: to talk about why I have him second. So third,
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: I do have the Jaguars for most of those exact
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: same reasons too. I think Trevor Lawrence he will make
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: a bounce back, but not as good as what CJ.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: Stroud and Than Rigister are going to do. And it
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: just sucks because you went from having the most potential
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: in the whole NFL quarterback wise to being the third
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: let's see what Will Levis does or fourth best quarterback
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: in your own division. That's just how quick, That's just
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: how the NFL works. So he's third and then finally
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: we could agree. Uh stirred? Right? Does that mean?
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I have the third. I think San Stychen is
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: a really great coach. I'm not taking anything against away
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: from him. I just think the Texans they're better Anthony Richardson,
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: if he stays healthy, this team will finish third. I
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: believe they have they have they have the talent, they
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: have a really good team. This division is closer than
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: people think. I think they see these teams as usual
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: bad teams like the Jags, the Titans, and the Textans,
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: so they already have that little, that little thing already
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: in their mind, like, oh, these teams don't really mean anything.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: But their rosters that they are building are very good.
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: And I do think the Colts can can do a
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: lot more than what they showed last year, especially how
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: Gardner minshewing them almost making the playoffs with him having
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: Anthony interest and just takes this team a step above
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: and I believe, I believe they can still fight for
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: the playoffs. It's gonna be a close division, it could
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: go anyway. Besides, the only Detectives finishing on top. Underneath that,
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: it'll be a battle. So yeah, they're my third team,
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: and I guess I'll name the Titans as my last team.
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: The Titans I believe in. I think they're a good
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: football team, but it's just not gonna be enough. I
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: do think there's another season they have to wait before
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: they get theirs, and there's nothing wrong with that. They're
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: not supposed to win right away, especially when you have
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: a team. I don't know how the rebuild's going when
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: they have three veteran wide receivers as they're one, two
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: and three, so they're not really they're really trying to
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: win now. But also it could be to the detriment
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: of will Levis, or it could be to the growth
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: of will Levis, and that's something to see.
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's definitely an interesting division and I feel like
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be a situation. I don't think anybody's gonna
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: have twelve plus wins here in my what I think.
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: I just think this they're just gonna give fits to everybody.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: It's just gonna be not the dogfight of a AFC
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: North or or other divisions like an NFC West. But
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be tough for them. I feel
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: like they'll split some games here. All of these teams
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: right here and again I don't know how the Colts
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: are third because with the backup quarterback with Gardner Minshew
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: and Jonathan Taylor out for about six seven games, there
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: were a winneror go home game away from the Texans
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: they were, So I don't know, but we'll we'll see,
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: we'll see when the season ends, We'll see. I don't know.
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. If i'm wrong, I'm wrong.
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: I don't mind being early to the party, right, yeah,
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: exactly exactly, So will anything else you want to take
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: away from this division? Hell? Yeah, you gotta just say,
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about. Not always no,
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: but as far as no, so.
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: Like we covered all bases, just get into the good
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: old National Football Conference.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, sir, Well, all right. This first team that we're
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: going to talk about here, which we kind of mentioned
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: a little bit later, it's that or earlier that Atlanta Falcons.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: So obviously, the biggest splash move they got was Kirk Cousins,
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: a massive four year deal fully guaranteed he's thirty six
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: years old. Came off of Achilles Tear, got Darnell Mooney,
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: and then just recently the other two splash moves were
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: Matt Judon and Justin's.
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: Feel good about the Falcons and I think they'll win
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: this division. No Brob should wait to the end and
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: say that, but I'm that confident in this football team.
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: I do think Kirk Cousins is the piece that they needed,
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: especially with the ball down the field and get the
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: ball to some weapons that needed the ball to get
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: in their hands. And I hate to cuss, but fuck you,
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: Arthur Smith. We're going to keep that moving Kirk Cousins,
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: you know uh. And I do think having him is
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: going to open up the foot a lot more for
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: the guy we all love beloved to hate pits. I
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: think I think we know the potential that is there.
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: I think we keep drafting him for a reason because
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: there's just that hope, like please Kyle, please come through,
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: Please have a big game. I do think he's gonna
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: have multiple big games this season because of Kirk Cousins.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: And we're looking at Drake Lennon, I believe the same
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: thing can be said for him. I don't think Drake
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: Lennon's ever gonna be a superstar wide receiver, but I
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: do think he can be a star wide receiver much
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: like Roddy White, much like those players of that magnitude.
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: I do think he can live up to that, But
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: that's a pretty big shoes to fill with Roddy White.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: That's that's some pretty big If you get a Roddy
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: White on this team, that's that's a good football that's
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: a good football player. But I do think he can
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: be a little bit underneath that with his potential that
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: he does have and having cousins opens up that also.
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: Darnelle Mooney is a good addition to have as your
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: number two. He's never a true number one in Chicago,
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: tried that multiple times, but I think he works best
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: when he all the pressures not fully on him, and
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: he can he can kind of freelance and do his thing.
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: I do think this team having rod Nel Moore at
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: the beginning would have been great, would have been awesome
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: to have another Umber three, but him getting injured, it's
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: kind of sad, but yeah, they're gonna prepare without him.
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: I do think it would have been a solid one,
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: two three wide receiver group. But I think Raray mclou
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: should a little bit last year that he can do.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: He can do a little bit, He can do a
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: little bit more If we're gonna look at this defense.
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: I do think this defense, oh my bad. And forgetting
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: the Guyjon Robinson, they're still gonna be Tyler last year
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: mixing to this offense because he is a good running
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: back in himself, but I don't think it's gonna be
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: as much as it used to be. And then Bijeon
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: not getting any goal line touches last season. It was
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: insane to me, being used as a decoy, not getting
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: the ball when he needed. That's not gonna happen this year.
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: I guarantee you it's not gonna happen this year. And
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: we're about to see possibly potentially the best running back
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: in the NFL have a good season this year. I'm
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: just gonna put that out there. I do think he can.
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: He has that potential of being the best in the league,
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: and this is gonna be the season that he shows
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: in the second In the second year. As far as
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: his defense into it, they are already good Grady, Jared
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: aj Terrell, Jesse Bates, Mike Hughes. But they added Matthew
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: Judon for in year, all Pro league leader in sacks
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: one season. He got injured last year, but dude, adding
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: a type of player like that to your football team
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: sets you over the top. And I understand people are
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: going to look at it and think, oh, he's a
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: little bit older. No, when you got that dog and you,
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: you got that dog and you And I don't think
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: matthe Jerdonald's gonna miss a beat. I think he's still
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: gonna be this. I don't think he lea league leader
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: in sacks type player, but he's still going to be
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: a fifteen sack guy a season. If you get a
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: fifteen sacond sack guy a season, that's a good football player.
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: And if we're going to look at the other guy
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: they signed All Pro also, Justin Simmons, he's finally gonna
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: be on a good football team. And I do think
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: that addition, having Justin Simmons and Jesse Bates both on
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: the same team as your safeties, there's not many tandems
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: in history that have been better than that, and I
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: do think that have that potential of being one of
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: the best in history. And Jesse Bates bault out last year.
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: Jesse was All Pro last year, so Justin Simmons been
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: All Pro before. So when you put those two guys together,
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: that's gonna be a great tandem in that to be
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: your safety blanket.
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm gonna start off first with the defense here,
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: So like you're mentioning, just to add on to that,
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: Justin Simmons, Jesse Bates, and AJ Terrell you could respectably
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: say their top five in their positions. And yeah, Mike,
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: Mike cues, he is solid. It's just really nice what
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: they have. And defensive line you Grady Jarrett, Matthew Judon
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: and then David Onyamda hopefully I said his last name right,
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: but he is good that that was already a top
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: ten defensive line in the league. And then you add
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: j defense, Yeah, exactly, so you're just getting even better here.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: And then offensive line, they were top ten, the two
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: most important pieces as far as outside of quarterback. O
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: line and D line you were top ten and you
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: got the quarterback position solved here. You got Kirk Cousins,
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: and if he does not stay healthy, you have Michael Pittricks. Yeah, yeah,
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: shout out to Taylor.
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: Michael Pennix is good. I like Michael Pinnicks. Guys, don't
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: come at me.
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: Don't have the Michael Pennis fan club, the Michael Pennicks
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: fan club. They're going to go after you. But yeah, no,
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: Michael Pennis, I feel like he's ready to play. That's
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: somebody where he could just be a plug and play
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: type of player. But I think this offense gonna is
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: gonna run through Bjon Robinson here. I think again, like
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: I said, top ten offensive line. Bjhon Robinson one of
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: the best running backs in the league. I don't care
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: who the quarterback, whether it's Kirk Cousins, Michael Pennis, it's
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: going to be a B John Robinson led team. And
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: I could see him having sixteen seventeen hundred yards and
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: double digit touchdowns here. And obviously he's my MVP here.
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: But I think the breakout players I couldn't just name one.
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: I had a name too, and it's guys that you know.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: With Strake London and Kyle Pitts, I know, I know that,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: I know that they're players that we know. But Kirk Cousins,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: I feel like he could unlock those guys. We've seen
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: him produce plenty of reliable receivers over his career, so
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: Jordan Addison, Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen, Stefon Diggs. I can
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: go on and on and on, and especially tight end
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: Jordan Reed TJ. Hockinson. So these two guys, they're gonna
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: be breakout players. Not necessarily they're gonna have two thousand yards,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: but maybe over a thousand yards each.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for me, the MVP is gonna be John Robinson.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: He's easily the best ball player on this football team.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: I understand there's guys like Jesse Bay, j J. Terrell,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: Justin Simmons, and Matthew Judah, but John Robinson has superstar
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: it's superstar potential, and he's gonna be the MVP of
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: the football team. Kirk Cougins slash MVP also don't need
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: to explain there. But as far as my breakouts is
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: the same exact thing out pitching, Drake Lindon. We've been
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: waiting for these guys to break out. We've been waiting
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: for these guys to get a real quarterback and a
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: real offensive coordinator. So we're gonna we're gonna a real
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: head coach. And then I do think they're going to
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: show a lot, but you know that they haven't shown,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: and we'll just have to wait and see.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but all right, let's go ahead and move on
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: to this next team here, the New Orleans Saints. So
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints, they did not make many moves here.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: But some of the moves that they made was Chase Young,
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: you got Toalise Fu I'll Cedric.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: Wilson stayed again gay.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: Two time Super Bowl champ. But then you obviously got
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: the Goat here, Nathan Peterman here, you got Spencer Rather
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: in the draft, which we'll we'll talk about in a second,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: as far as the quarterback situation. But so, I don't
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: know many Saints fans. I only Saints fans. I only
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: know twos that exists in Texas. I know three, okay, three,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: we know, okay, three total? Three total or maybe five
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: at But.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: And you got your dad's friend.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, so so yeah, so three at most in
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: the state of Texas probably, So there's not many people
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: listen to this Saint section. But how do you feel
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: about the Saints and what they're gonna do? This?
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: So I don't feel good about the football team at all.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, guys, I'm sorry. Breckon. I love you sometimes,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: I actually hate you most of the time. But your
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: team's not gonna be good, brother, I don't think so.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: I think they're past it already. Understand. You have Brian Braci.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: You're gonna bring up that y'all signed Chase Young. He's cooked, buddy. Yeah,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: Tomoro Davis wasn't the same as he usually been. He
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: you can tell that he lost a step. I understand
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: bringing Willie Gay brings in some speed. I've seen it
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: get two times for Bold Champion. But what y'all all
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: y'all are doing is signing our Super Bowl champions to
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: your team. Colin Saunders, Willie Gay and Tyron Matthews so
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: and Colin Saunders was used as the fullback last year.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: Let's just let's just think about that. And Tyron Matthew.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: Tyrn Matthews still a good football player, He's just not
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: the same guy he once was. And then I understand
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: Mark Shawn Latimore sh A. Lottimore is in the same boat.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: He's dealing with injuries year and then you're out. Alante
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: Taylor still hasn't shown a lot Fulston and Debo showed
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: a little bit last year. But there's still more I want.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: There's still more I want to see. Cameron Jordan is
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: getting up there in age. He just took a pay
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: cut to stay here. Pete Warner the same thing. He's
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: been here, he he's he's a good player, and I
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: think he can continue being a good player. But that's
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: all there is on this football team is good players.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't see a superstar anymore. And that's
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: that's that's what I'm saying. This team needs that go
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: to guy. I think Chris Olave has that potential. We
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: just haven't seen it fully because he's dealt with injury
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: and consistent quarterback play. So there's still lots to see him.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: Not counting him out. As far as Alvin Kamara, Alvin
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: Kamara has never been a great runner of the football
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: and last year he didn't show anyone more improvement. He's
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: still that reception god, but his depth of reception last
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: year was below two and he he didn't do much
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: with it. It was a lot of reception and in
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: low yardage. I'm sorry, I'm going after this team, but
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: it's just it's just not I don't I don't see
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: I don't see it. I don't have hope for it.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: I do think it's gonna be a tough year for
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: Saints fans, So I'll say that.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll get into him in a second, But as
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: far as I'm gonna get into the defense first, like
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: you're mentioning, Yes, there is plenty of good players on
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: this team. Cameron Jordan to Mario Davis, Willie Gay, he
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: was nice, Tyron Matthew Jordan, Howden he looked. He looked
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: good last year. As far as your other safety, Marshall Lottimore,
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: he's good whenever he's healthy. Yeah, Koolaid Mcentry he is there.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: So it does look nice. But your biggest concern here
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: is going to be quarterback play. Derek Carr. He is
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: up and down so much and so inconsistent, and even
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: when he is good every other game, it's not good
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: enough to beat some of these other quarterbacks in the NFC,
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: which is not even the better quarterback conference here. So
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: and I think easily the Falcons are better, Easily the
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: Bucks are better, and the Panthers they're kind of catching
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: up to you already. So I think that this is
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: a very old team. This is a veteran team right here.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: They were supposed to be in a win now situation
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: last year didn't pan out. But I feel like you
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: just have to flip the script here. It's about to
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: get really ugly for the Saints. Here, I could easily
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: see Derek Carr being traded mid season to a desperate team,
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: somebody who probably lost their quarterback. And maybe Spencer Raler
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: he gets some pt honestly because from what I've heard, again,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: I don't listen to much Saints camp, but from studying
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: before this pod, Spencer Raler actually been doing in camp
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: or been doing good in camp, So maybe he'll get
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: some burn here.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: Hey, they did Sign's brother and Pokus brother.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: You're right, Maybe if you combine them they'll be half
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: as good.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: Maybe they.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: Who can say brown. Hell yeah, you you forgot to
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: mention the goat Drick Wilson Jr. You forgot about him.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: But as far as as far as this offensive line,
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: yes you've got Talis Fuaga, but as far as the
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: right side of the line, Trevor Penning, I'm sorry. I
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: know he was a first round pick two years ago,
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: drafted up before two years ago, So this dude is
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: absolute bust in my opinion, this dude has been getting
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: his ass whoop the entire time in training camp in
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: the preseason. He's not good at all. That right side
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: of the offensive line is very shape, So we'll see
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: how Talis Fuaga. He does, but I don't know. You
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: already have a shaky offensive line, you already have a
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: shaky quarterback. So it's not a recipe for success here.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: But as far as my breakout player, I'm really high
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: on this guy, Rashid Shaheed. I think he's he's a guy.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: He won't be Chris Olave good, but he's gonna be
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: somebody that could stretch the field and he could bring
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: a big play or has a big play potential, whether
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: you give him a jet sweep, whether you throw the
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: ball to him down the field. I feel like he
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: could just be a game changing type of player here.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: So he's my breakout but my MVP here is just
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: gonna be the defense in general. The defense they're going
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: to keep them.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my breakout player I'm gonna have to go with.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Chris Alave. I do think he
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: takes that next step. I understand he's already known, but
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: I think he can take another step into being a
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: superstar res right. I do think he has the potential,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: especially with his speed, but he's also a great catcher.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: He has he has sure hands, and I think that
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: he can live up to that potential that he was
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: as the first as their top draft pick two seasons ago.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: As far as we're gonna go with the MVP, I'm
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: gonna agree with the same thing. It's gonna be this defense.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: This defense has veterans from top to bottom. They have
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: a couple of young guys there. They're gonna be the
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: reason why this team stays in a lot of games,
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: and they've been the reason they stay in a lot
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: of games over the last couple of seasons. So this
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: defense can continue to work hard and they're going to
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: continue show that better in leadership, and they do have
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: a defensive head coach, so let's not get that wrong.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: But let's see they can keep doing it.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, all right, let's go ahead and get onto
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: this next team here, which if we're high on this
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: team last year or just fan favorites here, the big
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: show in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers here. So as far
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: as their two biggest moves wasn't as far as signing
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: somebody outside but resigning your players, which it was Baker
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: Mayfield three year, one hundred million and then Mike Evans
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: a two year fie it's two million dollar contract here.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: But as far as this team, they pretty much stayed
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: the same. They lost Devin White, but everybody else they're
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: pretty much they've been there from last year. So a
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: little bit, yeah, pretty much running the back.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: Yes, I do think you were signed Baker Mayfield. You
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: re established his career. They didn't lose their offensive coordinator
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: who became the head coach for the Carolina Panthers, I believe,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: But I do think he built that rapport with Mike
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: Evans Chris Godwin. I don't know what to expect from
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: him this year. He had a rough season last season,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: but Jalen McMillan, I believe Jalen McMillan was kind of
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: behind Jalen Polk and Roma Dunsee in Washington. But he
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: has a lot more to show. I think. I think
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: he has a lot more potential. So I do think
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: having him there and learning from Mike Evans and being
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: able to report at Baker Mayfield, I do think he
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: can turn into a really good wide receiver in this NFL.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: Rishaud White Rashad White is a good player. He can do.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: He's good receiving the football, He's an all right runner.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: But I do think having the addition of Bucky Irving
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: who who is a good runner of the football. We've
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: seen that in college. It's gonna be a good one too. Punch.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: I believe he's gonna take a lot of pressure off
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: Rashaun White and on the flip side. If we're gonna
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: look at this defense, this defense has always been good.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: They still have their boy, Antoine Woodfield Junior. Resign him.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: I believe he is the highest paid safety in NFL history. Now.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: Vita Veavea is a consistent defensive tackle in this NFL,
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: one of the best defensive tackles in this NFL. Yaya guy,
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: he's a he's a He's a good linebacker. Levonte David
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: still there, the veteran leader of this team, Jamel Dean,
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: he showed a lot more. They did lose Byron Right,
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: they lost Byron Murphy, Davis Carlton. They lost Carlton David
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: to the to the Lions. Right, they traded him to
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: the Lions. So that's gonna be something to monitor there
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: because they are down a corner. But they still have
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: some of the key pieces there to beat Avail Levonte
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: David and Antoine Whistle Junior, even Jammel Dean. So this defense,
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: I still do to expect them to be a good one.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: But this offense, I do think having Baker Mayfield another
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: year there and then building that trust with the guys
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: and even having this good offensive line, I don't think
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: they're bad offensive line. Trisian wars and go dead. I
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: don't know how to say his last name, but Trisian
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: Wurts is a consistent top left tackle in the NFL.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: He dealt with some injuries last season, I believe, so
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: I do think getting him healthier this season is going
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: to be a big, a big thing going for this
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: team moving forward.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, as far as I'm gonna start off with the
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: defense here, yes, you did lose Devin Y, you did
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: lose Carlton Davis. But I feel like I'm gonna go
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: ahead and say my breakout players Zion McCollum and kJ
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: Britt here. They showed up last year because there were
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: some injuries that they dealt with. Well, I feel like
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: this was so easy for the Bucks to move off
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: of them. Is because both of those guys showed good
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: signs as far as being reliable starters in the NFL,
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: and you just piece him around. Lavonte David vita Vea
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: and then Elijah Canty, he can make a jump from
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: what he did last year. But I think this is
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: gonna be as far as a fun team to watch,
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: one of the highest scoring teams with the big show,
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: Rashad White, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Jalen McMillan, like you said,
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: and then you drafted Graham Barton in the first round
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: this year, so your offensive line is only gonna get better.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: I feel like this is just gonna be a real
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: pass heavy team, or you know what I feel like
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: this is offensively, let me say this, there are a
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: lesser version offensively of the Dallas Cowboys as far as
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: they're gonna be throwing the ball a lot, and it's
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: gonna be receiver receivers galore thirteen to fourteen.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: It's it.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's what I'm saying. Yeah, you know that's
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: why I'm saying a lesser They won't pass as much
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: because they have a better running back, but as far
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: as how their offense is predicated, if that makes sense.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I already listened my breakout players. But my
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: MVP I.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: Could Yeah, for me, my MVP is I'll start is
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: going to be Baker Mayfield, and Antoine Winfield Junior. I
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: do think they're the two best players on their respective
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: side of the football, but not that I don't think
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield's the best player on the offense. Don't quote
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: me Mike Evans is or Tristan worst. But it is
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: important to the team. No, No, I took it back.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: I believe that his his importance of being the quarterback
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: and him showing what he showed last year that there's
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: still something left in that tank, that there's still something
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: left in that fire that he does play with, and
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: I do think he can continue it this season. In
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: swalloing Field Junior. I don't got to explain anything on
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: why he's that guy. He's arguably the best safety in
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: this in the entire NFL, behind Brian Cook. But you know,
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: we can't make those arguments on this pot. We're going
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: to keep it moving. As far as my breakout player,
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to give it to Jaylen McMillan. I
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: do think that Chris Godwin, I don't think he's the
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: same guy he once was, and they're going to need
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: that number two to step up, and I think the
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: McMillan can take take on that role.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so all right, let's go ahead and move on
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: to this last team in the division, which is the
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. Here, as far as some of the moves
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: they made in the off season, because they didn't have
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: their first two picks, because they got in the one. Luke,
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: that's the only one. Yeah, that's the only one. I know.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: It.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: He's a loyal one until he dies.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how you become a
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: Panthers fan or actually Cam Newton I see that, but
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: staying a Panthers fan, I commend you for that because
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: they have not done anything. Yeah. Yeah, just just shout
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: out to Luke for being a loyal, loyal Panthers fan.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: But as far as what this team did in free agency,
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: they got Davion Clowney, they traded for Deontay Johnson, They
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: made or they paid two offensive guards as far as
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: Robert Hunt five year, hundred million and then Damian Lewis
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: four year, fifty three million to shore up the offensive line.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: Got a Shan Robinson. So you had some pieces that
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: you signed in the off season, but it's all gonna
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: depend on what Bryce Young does. So we're so you
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: were a little bit patient on Bryce Young last year,
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: so now that the season's over, they made some moves
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: in the offseason.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: On computer start tripping. No, I think I do think
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: he's gonna take a step up. I'm not saying he's
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: gonna give to d J. Stroud or he's gonna get
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: up to Anthony richardson type of level right now. I
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: do think those teams are still better set up than
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: his is, but they have set him up a little
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: bit better, bringing in a good number one and reliable
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: target in Deontay Johnson. Still have Adam Thlan, but I
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: do believe signing xavierly Get who I wanted on my
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: football team to begin with. I do think that's that's
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: a good that's a good three. And then Jonathan Bingo
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: still had a lot of potential for the show, I believe,
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: So I do think that that receiving that for to
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: kind of bring the best out of Bryce Young and
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: Bryce Young. I don't think he played bad last year.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: I do think given the circumstances he did deal with,
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: I think he did the most he could. John Tuba
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: Hubbard is gonna start this season. I think they're gonna
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: eat Jonathan Brooks into what this can be. And if
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: if Jonathan Brooks turns into what we thought what he
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: was before injury, he had a damn good, reliable option
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: in that backfield, especially with Juba Hoover being the number two,
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: which he would move to. And that's a damn good
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: second option to have when your when your starter goes down,
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: or when you need someone to take take take the
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: pressure off your starting running back. So I do think
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: he's getting set up very well. They did kind of
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: improve a little bit on this offensive line, but all
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: in all, I do think they're trying their hardest to
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: set him up for success and they We're just gonna
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: have to wait and see. They did bring in the
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: Buccaneers offensive coordinator who has helped out players like Breaker
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: Mayfield re emerged. He helped out I believe Smith, who Yeah,
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: Gino Smith. It was Gino Smith on the Seahawks, right,
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: He helped him out re emerge. So if he can
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: do the same thing with Bryce Young, and Bryce Young
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: hasn't even gone backwards. He I do think there's only
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: up from here, and I think he can pull that
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: out of Bryce Young. As far as his defense, Brian
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: Burns is a big loss I will float out say
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: that Brian Burns is as big of a loss as
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: he could possibly have. But I do think they did
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: their best at kind of kind of refill that position.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: They did their best bringing a j Davion Clowney. He's
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: not he never lived up to the exact potential he had,
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: but he's still a reliable option to have on your
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 2: defensive line. And I do think there's always that question mark.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: Derek Brown's a consistent good player, but there's always that
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: question mark with one guy, and that Jase Horn. If
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: Jase Horn is healthy, he's a top cornerback and there's
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL. If he's not,
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: or just another season, So that's something to wait for there.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: If we're gonna look at it, I think this is
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: going to be a good I think it's gonna be
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: an all right. I'm not saying good football team, but
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: they're going to be an all right football team. I
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: like them a lot more than the same stove.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: They are Jamon Sanders at good price, at a good cost.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So as far as with the Panthers, they definitely
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: did make moves with what they had available. They didn't
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: have much draft capital to keep the seat to make
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: this team better. But I'm gonna go and get into
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: my breakout player first because you just mentioned him right now,
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: j C. Horn Again, injuries is what?
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's my breakout Yeah, because I think he finally
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: after all the injury, after all the injuries, I feel
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: like he could finally stay healthy this season. Remember he
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: was taken before Pats certained for a reason because he
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: was that damn good of a cornerback. So I think
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: he's going to be that damn good. But I think
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: Bryce Young he is going to show some strides because
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: let's let's just face it, even though you're the most
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: important position on the team, you need help around you.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: You had no offensive line around you, you had no
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: weapons or round you. You just had Adam Thielen, which
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: he had I believe, one hundred and thirty hundred and
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: forty targets, which let's be real, he's not a number
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: one receiver, number one. He's he's maybe a lower tier
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: number two receiver, number three.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: But that's why it takes a step get in that
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: red zone. You won't ad him on your football team.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, of course, yeah, of course he's a nice
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: he's a nice threat. But yeah, Jonathan Brooks, I feel
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: like they should have rushed him back maybe mid season
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: because especially that a cl acl tear, because he had
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: it in late November. I believe it was late November.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: So if they could ease him back, then you slowly
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: have a running game building. But I feel like this
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: team they're two years away from actually doing something as
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: far as making a playoff push here because they're still
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: missing pieces here. Unless Bryce Young he just breaks out
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: and just makes this crazy jump from being honestly from
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: being like a mediocre quarterback to being a good to
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: great quarterback. We know what that could do. It could change,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: it could change the team's franchise within a whole year.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: So we'll see about that. But as far as my MVP,
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna give that to Bryce Young because I'm confident
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: in that jump. As far as what he'll do, I
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: feel like he'll emerge himself at least as a top
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: fifteen quarterback. I'm not gonna say top ten. There's plenty
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: of quarterbacks that are good in this league or great
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: in this league, but I just think he's going to
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: be good next year. But as far as I'm good. No,
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: you're good, God keep going.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: No, I forgot they know I'm good or you're good.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: My MVP is going to be Bryce Young. I completely
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: agree for every reason you gave. I do think they're
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: trying their hardest to build around him. I'm not expecting
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: a lot like I'm not expecting this massive jump where
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: he jumps into a top ten player, top ten quarterback,
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: top eight quarterback in this league. I do think I
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: can see him kind of itching his way up to
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: the top twelve and maybe getting there and giving that
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 2: little status that I'm still here. There's just give me
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: a little time. I do think he he will be
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: the m v P of this team. If we're gonna
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: go with my breakout. You know, man, there's one guy
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: that I got a big brother, and he's gonna be
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 2: the best quarterback and his base wider saver in this
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 2: entire this entire team, because I believe and is gonna
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 2: be my breakout.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: He had like that.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 2: He had to say. It was like it was Xavier,
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: look at Xavier, look at is gonna be my breakout player.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: I wanted him on the Chiefs badly fall though, was
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 2: there with me at the draft I was like, I
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: want a big Xavior. Yeah, we directed another Xavier. I
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 2: hope he does good. But Exavier look At, you were
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: my guy. I picked one guy a season. Last season
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: it was Say Flowers. This season it was Xavier look At.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: And I think Xavier look At is gonna be a
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 2: damn good football player in this league. He has art,
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: he's are, he has that. He already has the physical
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: the physical talent needed to be a great wide receiver
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: in the NFL. He's arguably up there with the likes
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: of DK Metcalf, not to that level, but right underneath
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: he's he's right there, and that's a that's a physical specimen.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: But if we're gonna look at talent, he's he's fast.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: Let's see if he can put it together with with
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: Bryce Young and become a true number one. I think
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: he has that potential to do it, and I think
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 2: he'll break out.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So first off, if y'all haven't seen an Xavier
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: Legette interview, you guys need to go do that right
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: now and listen to that and you understand you'll understand
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: John the reason why Josh's doing that. But let's go
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: in and get into division predictions here, So I think
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: are number one's. It may be different here. So again
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: we're gonna list him off. We're gonna count down, all right,
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: three two one, Tampa Bay buccaneersers. Okay, oh okay, we agreed. Okay.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: I thought we're gonna disagree here, Okay, Okay.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 2: So number two Falcons. I just wanted, I just wanted
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: this to be happy for a second. Is the Falcons.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: My number one is the Falcons.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: I was wondering. I was like, I was like, I
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: thought you were high on the Falcons, But go ahead,
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: while the.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: Falcons Falcons number one to me because I think they
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 2: have the best defense as of right now in this
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: entire division. That's that's barn and Matthew, Judon, Just and
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: Simon j. Deterrell, Brady, Jarrett, Jesse Bates, Mike Cues. I
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 2: think I believe in this defense. I think they're the
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 2: best part of this whole team where we're going to
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: get on the other side. Who is the best quarterback
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: in this division? I do think it's Kirk Cousins. Kirk
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 2: Cousins is easily the best quarterback as of right now
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: in this division. So I think having him and possibly
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: helping out the the emergence of Drake London and Kyle Pitts.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: I think it's going to do wonders for this football team.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 2: And having Jean Robinson as a liable option in that
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: backfield who could take a pressure off anybody and he's
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: gonna livele to his potential. I do think they's all
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 2: gonna come together this season.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: So the biggest thing for me is that the Tampa
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers, they already have that camaraderie. They've They've they're
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: basically running it back, so they know how to play whoa,
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: they know how to play with each other. Pause but cucumber.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: But the Tampa Bay Buccaneers they've established themselves and they
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: made a nice playoff run and they almost pushed the
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: Lions to the brink, and I feel like they're gonna
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: just continue that from last year. So I think that
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're gonna have eleven twelve wins right here.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: I feel like this division is going to just be
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: between a two man race between the Bucks and Falcons.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: But I don't I see maybe ten, ten to nine
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: wins at most, So I'll have the Bucks at the
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: top right there. Yes, the Falcons.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Number two for me is going to be the Buccaneers.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 2: It's going to be close. I'm not saying there's like
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 2: this big old gap. I think the Buccaneers are going
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 2: to be the wild They're going to be in the playoffs.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: I think they're gonna be a wild card spot for me,
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 2: and you can put that, you can quote it. I
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: strongly believe in this team. I think that it's going
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 2: to be a two team race for sure. Having Baker
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: Mayfield have this season he had last year, Mike Evans
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 2: doing the same, I do think it's only going to
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 2: keep going. I Towinofield still there. They have some of
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: the key pieces of Levonte David. So I don't think
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: this team takes the step back. They still have that
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: rapport with each other and they will finish second in
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: this division.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: All right, So I think three and four we're going
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: to disagree here. So okay, Number three I have the
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints. Yes, I'm not high on them, but
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: I still think they're better. Better than the Panthers.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, I think they suck, but I'm not I'm just
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: not gonna do it yet.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: I know every time we talk about the Saints on
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: this pod, we are positive about.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 2: The Saints Paul and Saunders and Willie Gay and Tyron Matthew.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: I wonder why too, I wonder why.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: No, but yeah, all right, so it seems like we
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: agree from three and four the Saints and Panthers.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: No. I just say I think the Saints wolf finished third.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 2: I do think they still have the veteran team they
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: have Derek Carr. I don't think Derek Carr is gonna
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: do He's not gonna do bad. I think Derek Carr
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: we already know his floor, we know where he's gonna
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 2: be at. It's just I do think these two teams
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: above them are clearly better, and they've made move significant
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 2: moves that do make them better. As far as the Saints,
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 2: it's just I don't know what to think of them anymore.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: They're stuck in this little purgatory where they can't get
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: out of being a good or a bad team. They're
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: just stuck. As Yeah, As far as the Panthers, I
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: think I give it another season. I do think that
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: what they're doing is good. They're trying their hardest to
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: build around Bryce Young. It's just a little bit more
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 2: time They're have to be a little bit more time
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 2: before I can fully accept them as moving into a
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 2: direction of being fighting for a division title.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll say this, the Panthers, they're going to be bad,
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: but they're gonna be one of those good bad teams,
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: if that makes sense.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 2: They could have won that one. They could have won
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 2: that one.
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: I feel like they could be like, what was it
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: Detroit three years ago?
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: Detroit like Chargers the NFC.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Charges of the NFC. Maybe better quarterback. No,
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. No, But all right, is there anything
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: else as far as from this episode or these.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 2: No?
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: All right, well let's go to move on to our
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: so called MVP. We do it.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 2: Everything my soul called MVP of the league, Stephen Curry.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if y'all watched the
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 2: last game versus France. I mean, Wimby, You're always Miami,
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 2: but Stephan Curry took over in that final. I remember
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: I was talking to Fondo. I was like, no matter
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 2: what France does now, no matter how close they going to get,
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 2: US is always going to hit a shot. But boy,
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 2: did Curry hit some shots. Four threes in a row.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 2: I believe twelve points in the final two minutes. Dude
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 2: was on a mission and he stealed it for the
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: t for the Team USA to secure goal. And he's
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 2: just the greatest shooter of all time for a reason.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So I have two so called MVPs this week.
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: So the first one I've actually been needing them. Shout
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 1: out to Famous Amos so the guy that made him.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: He made one of the greatest cookies.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: Because it's not a sponsorship just if you want to
• 1:28:41

• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie.

  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. You know. It's it's like Shack,
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: It's like Shaq adding a Steph Curry jumper. That's that's
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: all I have to say. That's all I wan say.

• 1:29:27
  Speaker 2: besides my mother and Mary you know, the Virgin Mary.

• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: No matter how good Jason Tatum does in his career,

• 1:30:48
  Speaker 2: Jason Tatum, Jason Tatum, he's good, but I don't like him.
