• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Inside the Birds is back. What's going on, everybody? It
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: is Jeff Mosher and Adam Kaplan, and we are both
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: proud to say to all Inside the Birds fans, listeners,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: NFL football fans, that today is Labor Day. Happy Labor
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Day to everybody. But the best thing about yesterday, Sunday, is, Adam,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: last Sunday with no NFL football for a long time.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Until the Sunday after the Super Bowl, and that's going
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: to be in February. It's a great time of the year,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: isn't it?
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: It is. It is. The weather has changed already out east.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: If you're in the Philadelphia, New Jersey, Delaware area, even
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: New York, you're in the low 70s. I was able
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: to play three hours of tennis Monday morning and not
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: even be a little tired, but not too tired because
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: it was 60 degrees at 630 a.m. So it was
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: one of the ladies complained about it. I don't know
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: what it is about ladies and all of my wife
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: likes the cold, but.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: She must be the only one. Most of the women
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: in my life like it. They hate when I have
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the fan on. They hate when I have the AC up.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: They're always cold. Right.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: My wife loves it cold. In fact, November, December, when
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: it's like 40 out, we'll let it get down to
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: like 58 or 60 degrees inside. I love that. We
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: both see it the same way. I'm like, I'm marrying
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: this woman.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I was going to say, you found a soulmate right there.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I know, man. And she's a bandwagon. Real quick, she's
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: a bandwagon Sixers fan. I took her to an 0-1
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: because she knows I was an obsessive Sixers fan. I
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: took her to so many Sixers games in 0-1. And
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: she was so into it. You know, she's from Greenwich, Connecticut.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: She actually went to high school with Trey Wingo, believe
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: it or not.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Greenwich High. But it is funny how people get
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: really interested. We'll turn this over to the Eagles. Look,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: people who are old school fans and they were maybe
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: McNabb fans and they kind of Andy Reid era, they
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: had enough. I mean, if you've not gotten back into
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: the Eagles now, the way that they've changed things around
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: since 21, I don't know what you're looking for.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. The Eagles are just a great storyline
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: every year. This is going to be our episode where
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: we do, we've been teasing this, Adam and I are
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: going to give our bottom five NFL teams and then
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: our top ten NFL teams. So the five worst teams
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: in the NFL followed by the top ten in the NFL.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: We did this last year. A lot of people liked it.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: And we don't just list it. We kind of talk
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: it out. We see where our differences is, but it
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: also reminds you that it's that time of the year
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: where you're getting started. Plus we got college. We had
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: some exciting college football games over the weekend. You know,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: my Penn state guys got off to a great start
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: in the Matt Campbell era, Matt Campbell, the former roommate
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: at Mount union of Nick Sirianni. Very interesting.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: So that was fun. You got playoff baseball.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Well, first you get September pennant chase, then October playoff baseball.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: And we know red October is pretty crazy here in Philadelphia.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: So it's just a great time of the year. But yeah,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: football starts this week and you don't have to wait
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: until Sunday. You got Wednesday night Super Bowl rematch between
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the Patriots and the Seahawks. And then followed by Thursday night,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: you get your first international game in Australia between the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Rams and the 49ers. What a great matchup that is too. So,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and then we go right into Sunday sleep.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Being on Wednesday, I just, you know, I kind of
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: like it.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: It's weird.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Last week, I love having a little bit of downtime
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: before the season started. It's kind of weird, but I
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: enjoyed it. Catch up on some stuff, errands and all
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: sorts of stuff, clean the damn house up. But being
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: on Wednesday, I don't know. It's just so weird. I
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: don't know how, I don't know where folks are at.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: It's too weird for me.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: It is strange. But nonetheless it gives us an opportunity
• 3:56

• 7:11
  Speaker 2: I can't give it away.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Of maybe some people who are... you would recognize who
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: played football in the national football league. Yep. John D Filippo,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: the Superbowl winning Eagles quarterback coach. John was with us
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: a lot in 23. In fact, I think he was
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: one like four or five times with our patron members.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: At least. Yeah.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: They love him. John is with Kansas. I got to
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: ask him about this quarterback. The KU quarterback is now
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: the backup, the bucks. I'm like, where did this come from? Yep.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Do you remember his name? Offhand? I don't know.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: I don't remember. Um, but, uh, Yeah, so looking forward
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: to it. The season is here, folks. And then, look,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: we'll see what happens with this Eagles team. We're going
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: to get into that today and this week. By the way,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: are we doing a show where we predict the record
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: and all that stuff?
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: We can do that at the end of this show
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: if you want to do it. So this is our
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: annual bottom five, top ten show, as I mentioned. And
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: at the end, we'll give our predictions for the Eagles, okay? Okay.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: All right, let's start it off. What we're going to
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: do is give you the five teams Adam and I
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: think are the worst. Now we have our own list.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: We'll compare and contrast. We'll start not with the worst.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: We're going to work our way to the worst because
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Adam and I have already joked, as we've teased this before,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: it's pretty clear on paper who the worst team in
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: the NFL should be. So we'll go from 28, 29, 30, 31,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: and then 32. You know what's interesting on that?
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: And it's really true. Most years, the bottom five teams
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: almost always have a quarterback problem. Yes. So I'm looking
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: at my list. Now, one, they've addressed it. We'll see
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: if it's right. But it's just when you don't have
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: stability quarterback, you're going to be on this list. That's
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: not a good list.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: This team you're teasing that may have addressed its issues,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: do they happen to wear colors of silver and black?
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Yes, but I don't have them as the worst team.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, I don't have them either. So good. This is
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: a good starting point. Yes, yes. Who is the fifth?
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Let's go from fifth worst to worst. So who is
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the 28th worst team in the NFL in your book?
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Here's the thing. This team actually has a decent roster,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: but they're so bad at quarterback. And I don't like
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: their decisions that they made. I just don't agree with
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: the thought process. But I'm going to start with the
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Browns here, team number 28. They're going to have five
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: new offensive line starters, brand new coaching staff. Andrew Barry,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: who prior to the 25 draft, I mean, you couldn't
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: make a case for him to come back. He wasn't
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: doing very well, obviously. maybe the worst transaction in NFL
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: history with the Sean Watson trade, but 25, he had
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: a great draft, probably saved his job, but he is
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: butchered quarterback. And for the life of me, they're going
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: to have two first round picks next year. Why not
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: at least get a look at Shador Sanders? Okay. What, what,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: what is Deshaun Watson going to do for you? I
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: know you owe him. I understand five years and 240 million.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: I get that. It doesn't matter. He's not good. He's
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: not taking you anywhere. It's just, it's just, there's a
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: reason why historically they've been in an inept franchise. It's
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: just embarrassing.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Greg Cosell is the best example. Greg doesn't do
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: draft grades. I asked him before and after draft. I said,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: what are your thoughts on him? And I know you
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: don't do draft grades. What are you thinking? And then
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: he said to me, he goes, I don't see how
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: he doesn't go and pass a third round. Pocket passer,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: good touch. You don't have a great arm, decent arm.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: He'll scramble. He doesn't really run, but processes pretty well.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: And then, you know, he had the maturity problem, very
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: well documented, had him drop. But at this point and
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: talking to people close to the Browns, he's, he's, Done
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: everything right this offseason. Okay. You could say Deshaun beat
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: him out. But what does it mean? It doesn't matter.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Where are you going? Nowhere. Start the kid. Let him play.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: And by the way, if he looks really bad after
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: four weeks, pull him. Go with Watson. It's backward thinking.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: They got no shot.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I'm with you. I actually think that you're being kind
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: to the Browns by saying they're only the fifth worst
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: team in the NFL. Because I have them on my.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I have them on my bottom five, but I actually
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: have them worse than that. So I agree with you.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I do think that– I like their coach, obviously, Cutter.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Maybe his hand is being forced by ownership to go
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: ahead with Deshaun Watson because of the money. I don't know.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Todd Monken. Todd Monken.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: What did I say?
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Cutter. Dirk Cutter.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Did I say Dirk Cutter?
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: By the way, I've done that before.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: It's been a long weekend, brother.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: No, but what it is is Cutter coached– He coached Tampa.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: No, but he coached in college. He was a college coach.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: He was at Georgia, right? Right.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: But he also was a head coach. Didn't go great.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, yeah. I think it was at Boise.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Yes, that was it.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I think he was Quentin Michaels coach there. But yeah.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow. Yeah.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Wow. Okay.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Okay. Look, Monkin, good for Todd Monkin. It really should
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: have been Jim Schwartz. But that's a 30 for 30 short. Schwartz,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: you thought he was getting it. They didn't go with him.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: They want an offensive coach, but they've got, by the way,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: they've got a very interesting Mike Rutenberg, who's coaching Robert Salas,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: so they're going to run the wide nine. The talent
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: level in defense is fine. It's not the problem. Right.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: And Jared Vers, obviously the big trade, Vers is a
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: big-time player. It's, man, it's just the offensive line, five
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: new starters.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Concepcion... The question with him, is he a slot receiver?
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Can he play outside? Denzel Boston, big body, doesn't run
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: all that well. And now Judkins is their full-time starting
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: running back. There's enough. If they had a quality quarterback,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: it's an eight or nine win team. Yeah. Watson has
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: not played good football in six years. Six years.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: 2020. It has.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: So there you go.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: All right. So I had to debate the 28th worst
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: team between two teams.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: One was.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: The Raiders, one was the Titans. I really had trouble
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: with this. The Raiders, you could have made an argument
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: by the end of last year. They were the worst
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: team in the NFL. I love what they've done in
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: the offseason in terms of their coaching staff. Obviously, I'm
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: a big Clint Kubiak fan. He did a great job
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: as the OC of the Seahawks. I love the fact
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: that they were not afraid to pay Tyler Lindemann, a
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: good player, all that money to play center because they
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: needed offensive line hope. They get Colton Miller back. I
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: don't understand the charade with Kirk cousins, but I guess
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: they want to give Fernando Mendoza some time. Gentee should
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: have a better year. So the reason why they're not
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: top three worst team is because I think they've made
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: some nice off season additions. I think that they will
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: reap the benefits of having Kubiak as a head coach,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: why I put them as 28th and not the Titans,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: you know, Sal and Dable to me, even though they
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: don't have a ton of talent there, I think we'll
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: maximize it. They've got to, blue chip player like Jeffrey Simmons,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: who's an excellent tackle. They made some good offseason additions
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: of guys that they're comfortable with. You know, obviously, Wanda
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Robinson and Bellinger, they played for for Dable. Somebody made
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: a joke that the Titans are basically like a combination
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: of the Jets and Giants, which is not a way
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: to build a team. I get it. That is funny.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: But it was the Raiders for me that was going
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: to be that has a little bit. More to go.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: They're going to play in a really, really tough conference.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: So it'll be some tough sledding this year. They've got
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: better days ahead, but they're on my fifth worst team.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're in a tough division. I mean, they're going
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: to have problems getting any wins. Receivers are not very good.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Hampton is way more explosive. Gentee, you worry about the
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: running style. He takes way too much contact. If you're
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: into fantasy, get Mike Washington, the rookie, the fourth rounder
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: who's had a good Good training camp. Dylan Lobby, I like.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: I met Dylan at the Senior Bowl a couple years ago.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: He's got great versatility. They've got problems with the back
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: end of the defense. Not very talented. Not a very
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: talented corner at all. That's a problem. But they've got
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Crosby for now. That's a big deal. They spent a
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: linebacker with Walker and especially N'Kobe Dean. Yeah, you're right.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: They upgraded the talent. It's a 5-1 team on paper.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: And they don't want to rush their first pick overall quarterback, Mendoza.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: I get it. And Cousins is on a one-year deal.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: So we'll see. But I'll tell you what, I like
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Cousins more than Gino Smith. Gino Smith, you could say
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: all you want about all the problems they had around
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: him last season. He was awful.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Is that a good segue into our fourth worst NFL team?
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Because I do have the Jets as my fourth worst
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: NFL team.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Well, you know what? With that one, my friend Kerry Rhodes,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: former Jet and Cardinal Safety, we do Fox Sports Radio
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: together every Sunday. And he keeps telling me how much
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: better they're going to be because the roster is better.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: But again, Gino Smith, he struggled. He did great. He
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: came out of nowhere and kind of shocked everyone with
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: his fine play for a couple seasons with the Seahawks.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: But now, the good thing about the Jets is they
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: got the whole deal done. I give their GM credit,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Darren Mugee, credit. He wasn't going to trade him. He
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: kept him.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: A.D.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Mitchell there now for a full season. Garrett Wilson. Tim
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Patrick is not a bad backup. Omar Cooper, like you–
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: and loaded a tight end. I know Sadiq's got an
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: injury with Mason Taylor.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: And all the draft capital.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Two decent tackles. Yeah, two good offensive tackles. They have talent.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Like you're saying, they have talent. I have zero faith.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Zero faith in the coaching staff. I mean, Aaron Glenn
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: fired almost every single coach he had after the first
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: year and then replaced him with guys like– I'm like, oh,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Frank Reich's your offensive coordinator, your play caller. I like
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Frank a lot. You know, his track record as a
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: play caller is not very good. whether it's Carolina, whether
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: it's Atlanta, whether it's other places. I just, so I
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: don't have a whole lot of faith in this coaching staff.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: I'm glad he is. I guess he's going to call
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: the defense now, which is what he was hired to do.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: So he should, but I feel like the coaching staff
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: is going to get in the way of, of this
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: young talent that they're trying to put together. And so
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: that's why they're my fourth worst NFL team. I don't
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: know if they've got, okay.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: They got real problems, a corner, real problems, a corner,
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: a pass rush. No, David Bailey was arguably the best
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: pass rusher for this draft. So, you know, you're hoping
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: he plays great. Micah Fitzpatrick, I know the Steelers thought
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: he was on the downside. You know, the Dolphins were
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: able to get something for him. They're just not enough
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: talent on defense. Now, could they get five or six wins? Yes.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: I can see that. I can see that. Okay.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: So was that your number, what, 28 team? Or I'm sorry,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: what was the number? It would be 28. Oh, yeah.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting. We both had that.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: I had a Cleveland– Cleveland– I had the top of
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: the bottom five with Cleveland and then the Jets. Yes.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Gotcha. So good. Well, look at that. We're already in sync.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: All right, let's get to our third worst. You don't
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: have my list.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: No, I don't have yours and you don't have mine.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: I'll go first with the third worst team because you've
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: already talked about it. I have the Browns as the
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: third worst team. Okay. Only because they just don't, to me, Adam,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: have like– first of all, they're going to play in
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: a pretty tough division. They're going to have to play
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: six games against the Bengals, against the Ravens, and against
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: the Steelers. We always know that's difficult for them. They
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: have this quarterback situation you just mentioned. That's a mess.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I'm not even sure that when Shador gets in, it's
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: going to be better. And all of their best players
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: are either rookies or second-year players. They drafted on the O-line.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: That's great. I don't know how ready they are to
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: be good. They're two wide receivers, Boston and Concepcion are rookies.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Once Shador gets in there, he's basically a second-year player.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Fannin's a second-year player. I do love their linebacker. A
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: lot of people do. who he's still a second year player,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: also Schlesinger.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: But like, there's not enough like, like when the times
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: get tough, which they will for the Browns. I don't
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: see enough veteran leadership, enough guys who have the gravitas
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: to help pull things together. It's going to be tough
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: for this coaching staff to get this team to play
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: above each year. So while I do think better days
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: are ahead, I just think this year there there's, you
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: can't bank on them for anything.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: The defense is going to have to defense of the
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: run game. Now, What I'm going to tell you is
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Schroeder's going to play. He's eventually going to start. Sean
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Watson's not going to start the entire season. It'll never happen.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: When Schroeder gets in there, if nobody gets hurt, Judkins, okay,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: he's a power runner. With Boston, Jerry Judy, Conception, and Fannin,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: they've got enough of the pass target group. Now, I'm
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: a little worried about this completely new offensive line. Five
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: new starters, that's never advisable. What I don't understand is
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: the Chargers won no part of Zion Johnson.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: The Browns paying big money.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Elton Jenkins, Tevin Jenkins, Titus Howard, you know, acquired in
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: the trade.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Right.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Tackle Spencer for now. We'll see how good he looks
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: early on. It's, Uh, they've got, look, they got challenges
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: in their offensive line. It's never advisable to completely redo
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: your offensive line.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: You're an intriguing team. I just wish the quarterback situation
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: would be better.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Uh, I'm, I'm with you a hundred percent. I don't
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: love what they got on defense either. Some got good
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: guys in the backend, maybe the front end. I mean,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: versus obviously a good player, but I just, it's just
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: going to be tough for this team. Tough sledding all
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: year long.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: So I had, uh, the Browns is my 30th overall team.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Who's your third? Who did you have 30th overall?
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: All right. So this team is this, This is what
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: I was saying earlier to start this. This team seemingly
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: has not gotten right at quarterback. In fact, if you
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: really look at it, the Cardinals, Kyler Murray, obviously at
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: best mixed results. Matt Leiner, I'm going way back. That
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: was his total loss. I mean, you just look at,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: and Jacoby Brissette's an excellent backup. Yeah. Really good backup. Now,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Carson Beck, he's going to play at some point this season.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: He just will.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Jacoby's an excellent backup. he's a transitional quarterback to the
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: next guy. And the other thing is, no matter who
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: the GM, they seemingly never get it right in the
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: offensive line. Now, I would say Amal is still playing
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: good football. The right side of their offensive line is
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: certainly questionable. Froholt, a kid that came over from Cleveland,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: is actually a really underrated signing. The jolty Froholt, I
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: know it's a funny name, but actually his agent, how
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: about this one? Former Eagles. Joe Panos. How about that one?
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. I thought you were going to say the
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: other former, Barry Gardner. I wasn't sure.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: No, no. The only reason I know, I ran into
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Joe at the airport and I was talking about his
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: free agents a number of years ago and he goes,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: I got a guy who's going to get paid. And
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: he said, Jody Froholt. I'm like, really?
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: He was right.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it's Michael Wilson finally came into his own,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: got his extension.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Marvin Harrison, better last year, still not there yet. Great
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Trey McBride. Love has got the high ankle sprain. You're
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: worried about that.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: To me, it's... Defensively, they've got a lot of talented
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: young players, but the pass rush... Josh Swett, continue that.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: He had a really good year. Darius Robinson, the first rounder,
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: has been hurt a lot. Hasn't gotten there yet. Walter
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Nolan's been hurt, but when he played healthy, he was good.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Sack on his first NFL snap.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, is that right?
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Okay. The corners.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Will Johnson had some injuries. There's some talent on the
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: back end. With above-average quarterback play, this actually could be
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: a wild-card team. I just don't trust the quarterback situation.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think they've assembled some decent
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: young players. They still have to assemble more. I like
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: the coaching staff. Well, I don't love Nathaniel Hackett as
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: the OC, but they're getting a little floor Shanahan offense,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: so we'll see. But I'm with you. They've kind of
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: botched quarterback for a while. They're one– Injury away from
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Carson Beck being their quarterback.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Injured. So I actually had the Cardinals as my second
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: worst team. So we're getting in the same order here.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: I went Raiders, Jets, Browns, 28, 29, 30. You have Browns, Jets, Cardinals, 28, 29, 30.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: So with that said, I had the Cardinals as 31st,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: my fourth worst team. And who do you have?
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: All right. So I've got the Raiders next. We've talked
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: about them. They're just not enough talent. John Spitek, the GM,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: definitely was aggressive. They had to spend money because over
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: like a three-year period, you got to get to the cap.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: You got to spend a certain amount of cash, not cap,
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: a certain amount of cash. So, you know, he did.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: They went crazy with the Linderbaum deal. I mean, remember,
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: they didn't trade Crosby. It fell through. So all this
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: cash is on it. He spent a lot on Kobe Dean.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: But there are ways away. There are ways away. Yeah.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Looking forward to seeing Mendoza play. He'll eventually start. That's
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: going to happen. See how well he can do. But
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: what John Spitek's got to do, he's got to redo
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: the receiver core. He's got a bunch of backups. Jack
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Bash was seen as a fifth-rounder, talking to clubs about him.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: And he went in the second. Naylor is a good backup.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: The Depeng started money. Trey Tucker actually was good. He
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: could run. He surprised me a little bit last season.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: But overall, they're just not good enough at receivers.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the common bond between my 31st-ranked team,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals, and yours, the Raiders, is that they're probably
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: both going to go 0-6 in a division because it's
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: going to be tough for them to win a division game.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: The Cardinals have to play the Rams, the 49ers, the Seahawks.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: The Raiders have to play the Broncos, the Chargers, and
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs. I think the Chiefs will be better than
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: they were last year, obviously. It's tough sledding when you've
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: already got six losses there. And you're just looking for
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: A future, and obviously that leaves us, unless you like
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: totally pulled the wool out here or pulled the rug
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: out of it. No, that leaves the Miami Dolphins, who
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: maybe are not only the worst team in the NFL,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: but if you look at their 53-man roster, this may
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: be right up there. The worst teams I can remember
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: ever seeing, Adam, were like the 2008 to 2010 Raiders.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: You remember that? Like the Jamarcus Russell into Terrell Pryor Raiders.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Like they had Nnamdi and nothing. That was really it.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Really bad.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: This team might rival that.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're bad.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: This offense team is bad.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: I unfortunately or fortunately, depending on your point of view,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: because I was able to see the commandos, but I
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: was there for the joint practice three weeks ago.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: It was pain.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, they were so bad. And you can look
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: at a depth chart, but you don't know until you
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: really go for sure. And I'm like, you know, I'm watching.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: I always... Look forward to seeing three or four different things.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Watch offensive line play, which they have some young talent.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: The offensive line's been upgraded. I give their new GM credit.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: John Eric Sullivan, Jerry's son. Great Jerry Sullivan, veteran receivers coach.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: But the receiver core, the worst in the National Football League.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: I'd be shocked if they do anything there. A chance
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: a player, the running back, no doubt. But defensively, It's
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: just a lack of talent, man. There's just not enough.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: It's going to take time. Chris Johnson, we'll see how
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: good he is, the first-round pick at corner. A favorite
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: of the scouting community, Jacob Rodriguez from Texas Tech is
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: a player. Jordan Brooks has been a nice story.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Not enough pass rushers, not enough at corner. It's going
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: to be hard. And then Greg Dulcich is an athlete,
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: but he's been hurt almost his entire career. Yep.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, their starting edge alongside first rounder Chop Robinson,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: the other one is Josh Uche. It could be.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: I don't even know yet.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Or maybe, yeah. He's the most veteran one they've got,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: I guess.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, they just don't have any interest. Now, as
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: I said the last time we talked about this, about
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: the Dolphins, we were talking on my mini tour, they
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: made a decision they're going to take massive cap hits
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: because they're inheriting a bad roster.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: And you have to be willing to say, tell ownership,
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: in this case it's Steve and Ross, look, This is
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: what we want to do. Are you okay with it?
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Because not only are we taking massive cap hits, you're
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: going to owe Tua Tungabaloa over $ 50 million in cash.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: It's fully guaranteed. Can you live with it? The answer
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: is yes. They did it. Dolphin fans, it's going to
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: be tough. But it is what it is.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: It is. It's going to be a long year for
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: that team. Maybe they can pick off the Jets once.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Who knows? We'll see.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: But you never know. No, if you take a team lightly,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: you just never know.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point. You said something in a
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: recent pod that I've been laughing at just to myself.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: You said something that if Jeff Halfley, if the Dolphins
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: go like 5-12, you may have to give Jeff Halfley
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: coach of the year. You're almost right. You have to
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: consider it.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: You know, my first favorite team was the Dolphins.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Really? In the 70s.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when I was a little kid. Yeah, Mike. Going
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: down to Florida.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Bob Greasy teams. Paul Warfield was my favorite player. Number 42.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Larry Zonka, Jim Kick. Manny Fernandez. Yeah, man. That was
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: Bob Kuchenberg. Yeah, loved it. Anyway.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: All right. So listen, we had no disagreements in terms
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: of the teams. We each had the Raiders, Jets, Browns, Cardinals,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Dolphins in some form as our five worst NFL teams.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: And the only team I really struggled to keep out
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: of this was the Titans. And I could easily make
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: an argument that maybe the Raiders will be better than
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: the Titans. Maybe one of these teams we talked about
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: will be better and the Titans will be worse. But
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: that's just how it shaped up for us.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. Right.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Let's get to our 10 best teams in the NFL.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: We'll pick up the pace a little bit. We don't
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: need to give a whole thorough forensic analysis of every
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: single team. My 10th team. Football is finally back and

• 31:19
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: And this team could be a lot better. I'm sort
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: of giving them a little. I may not be giving
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: the coaching staff enough of the benefit of the doubt
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: here is the Chargers. I have them at number 10.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: I think the Mike McDaniel addition is going to be
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Huge for their offense. If they keep Hampton healthy, I
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: think McConkie and Quinton Johnson can finally have a better
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: year just on Mike McDaniel alone, making that rushing offense
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: what it can be. Their offensive tackles are healthy right now, right?
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: The Slater should be playing and Alt should be playing.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: So their offensive line was in shambles last year, and
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: they still won a lot of games. So I like
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: the Raiders. I'm sorry, the Chargers. And as we go on,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: they could be a team that gets way higher than
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: top 10.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I should have been higher on them. When Jim
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Harbaugh took over, I should have, I should know better
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: because he's a turnaround program guy. This is everywhere he goes.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Then people, then he wears out his welcome because he's
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: just different, but he's a great coach. Yep. I actually
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: have him at 11.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: So what I do is I have the Chargers, I
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: have the Jaguars at 10. I don't think it'll be,
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: in fact, they're not gonna be as good as last season.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: They're gonna be a little bit of a drop off,
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: but they addressed their offensive line. Colvin Landon's back from
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: his major knee injury. They pregnant on the third rounders.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: They're hoping he's going to contribute early. It's Parker Washington.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: I know for fantasy, he's going way too high. Who's really,
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: was really good last season. They're really solid everywhere. It's just,
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: the only question is that can basial tootin be a
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: quality starting running back? That's the, the, honestly, when you
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: look at their roster, okay. Corner Buster Brown's been a
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: big story. We've talked about him before. He goes faced
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: him before. A little shaky corner. Could Travis Hunter be
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: that stud player? They've got plenty of pass rush. They're
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: going to be good. Liam Cohen shocked me. He did
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: a great job, but there's not going to be 14-3.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: That's not happening.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: I agree. Really, I made a list of outside looking in.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: They were my top team. So they would be my 11th,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: just like the Chargers are your 11th. The offensive line
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: and the run game give me a lot of pause.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: I know Lawrence had nine rushing touchdowns last year. That's crazy.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: He can duplicate that. I think he's also going way
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: too high in fantasy. And I just– they'll play a
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: tougher schedule because of how they finished last year. So
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: I think they could be a team that goes further,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: but their record's a little worse. But I just– I
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: don't trust the O-line to do– plus, I think they're
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: switching their tackles, right? They're making Van Landen the right
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: tackle now. The guy who played right tackle is the
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: left tackle. That's just too much. Yeah, I just can't
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: do it.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Actually, no, Harrison– it's interesting. Anton Harrison's moving to left.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Van Lannen, I think it was a major knee injury.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: I can't remember if it was an ACL. He called
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Van Lannen an unbelievable story. Yeah. But they extended Walker Little.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: But, yeah, so they were 13-4 last season. I totally
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: missed them. I just didn't see it.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: Who did?
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, these worst for first teams. Everyone, give
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: your worst to first in the comments. I'm very curious
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: to see what people have. Yep. But that's, yeah, the Jaguars.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Or my 10th team.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Who's your ninth?
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: I got same division, the Texans.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Okay. Oh, wow.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Talking to Greg Cosell. Greg said he did a study
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: of the Texans and Stroud. And Stroud's perceiving pressure. That's
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: what happened. And we know their offensive line. The GM
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: has done a pretty good job. Nick Casario, the one
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: area where he's missed is the offensive line. He's not
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: done a good enough job with it. And he traded Tunsell,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: for Christ's sake. Yeah. Like, it's too much patchwork. It
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: doesn't work, folks. It never works. But he's drafted well overall,
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: but he's not done a good job addressing the offensive line.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: So they're my ninth team.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Okay. I do have them in my top ten a
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: little higher because of the eliteness of their defense. I'll
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: get to what they've done offensively. I have the Eagles
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: at number nine. Kind of flirted between the Eagles and
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: 49ers there. 49ers get a lot of guys back. and
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: had fewer change. In fact, most of the 49ers additions are,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: are guys that are really good, like Bosa or Fred Barnett,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: like guys who are coming back. I'm a little worried
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: about their aging.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Fred Warner, not Fred Barnett.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Fred Barnett, man, Fred Warner.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: I am like much too, too long.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: 86, by the way, 86, go ahead.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Crazy. But they'll get the kid back from Georgia that
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: they drafted in the first round. I love their second
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: round pick, Stribling. He had a good preseason. And I
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: honestly thought Shanahan should have been coach of the year
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: last year. I mean, to win as many games as
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: he won last year with 12, right, with almost a
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: shell of that team shows you how great of a
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: coach that he is. He obviously hasn't won the big one.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: I know that. But anyway, this is about the Eagles.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: I have the Eagles ninth. Probably would have them higher
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: if I was just a little bit more confident I
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: knew what they were going to be offensively and with
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Dickerson and Lane Johnson, the whole offensive line situation. But
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: for right now, I have nine. I think that's pretty fair.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: I know other teams will have them. People will have
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: them higher. I have listened to some analysts who I
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: respect who didn't even have the Eagles in the top 10,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: which shocks me.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: I could see having them as 11 or 12. I
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: certainly could see. You can make the case. So my
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: eighth team, and then I am picking them to win
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: the NFC. North, your former NFC Central.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: I was going to say, your eighth team is winning
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: the NFC? Crazy.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: North, the Chicago Bears.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Wow. That defense?
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Well, Dennis Allen is a Helen Keller of coaches. He's
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: a miracle worker.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: He absolutely is. Yes, he is.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: And they're going to get some of these injured guys back.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: I'm a little bit worried about the talent level in defense,
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: but I love the coaching, the scheme, the execution. They
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: have a depth issue at receiver. Their offensive line should
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: be good. They're great at running back the way they
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: do things. The pass circuit group is good. Just to
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: be higher, they need more pass rushers. That's a concern
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: of mine. It's definitely a concern. And Dio Dingbo's coming
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: back with twin Achilles. That's a problem. But Thinaman, the
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: safety we liked prior to the draft. Jalen Johnson, if
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: he could just stay healthy, that's always the challenge.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: But Right.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: They're going to win that division because the Packers have
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: all sorts of problems.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: For sure.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: The Vikings, good luck with that quarterback, with that quarterback situation.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: The Lions, I've been off them for last year, and
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: they were my breakout team four years ago. I'm off
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: them again. I don't have them as a top 10 team.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: I don't believe me. I don't think I took... I
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: love the NFC North, and yet I don't have a
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: single NFC North team in my top 10, so it's
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: probably a flaw, because they're all going to beat each
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: other up, but I have all of them on my...
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: just outside looking in. The Packers, the Lions, not all
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: of them, and the Bears. Vikings, I'm a little dubious on,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: but we'll see. Alright, so that's your eighth team. Mine
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: was the 49ers. I explained why. Let's go to our
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: seventh best team. I went with Buffalo here, Adam, and
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: I might be a little low on them. I think
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: some people probably have them as a top five team.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: I'm not ready yet for that. I do like the fact,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: even though I didn't love the idea to stay in
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: house and go with Joe Brady as the head coach,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: because I thought that team needed to like start over
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: and really get a new direction. At least you can
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: say he has presided over this offense. He'll have a little,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: he'll have more control of it. He won't have Sean
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: maybe handcuffing him at all on what he does offensively.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: They added DJ Moore, who I still think has some
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: good juice left for this wide receiver core. Defense still
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: has– they bring in Bradley Chubb. They bring in C.J. Gardner-Johnson.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: I think they needed players like that. They needed more
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: pass rushers. I don't think it's an elite defense, but
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: it is an elite offense that will probably average 28
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: to 30 points, and that will make it easier on
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: the defense.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: It's interesting. They haven't run a 34 defense in probably
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: 10 years, a little bit longer, but they're going to
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: run one now. Actually, no, Cause Schwartzy.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: No, I was going to say is, is a guy,
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Jim Leonard is there. Yeah.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: He's a 34 guy. Yeah.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: I thought he, I know he does a lot of
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: multiple front stuff, but yeah, I'll probably start off looking.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: I think he's a 34 guy. Yeah. You're right.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: The one issue they, and we'll see what Bradley, what
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Bradley Chubb has. Now they, they added TJ Parker. You
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: mentioned Chubb. Gregorso is a decent quarterback. pass rusher Michael
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: Hoyt's back from his injury. Landon Jackson didn't really contribute
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: much as a rookie, but they've added enough that their
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: pass rusher is going to be better. How much better
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: is the question? And the depth of corner is questionable.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: They have some issues. I'm with you. They're my top 10.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: I could certainly see why you have them in the
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: back of your top 10.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I want to be more excited about Jim
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Leonard because I hear great things about him. I know
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: he just spent time in Denver under a really great
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: coordinator in Vance Joseph. So I do imagine that what
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: they lack in elite pass rushers, they're going to manufacture
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: some pass rush. So they're an exciting team. They probably
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: should be higher than seven, but I'm keeping it at seven.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: Who's your seventh team?
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: The Bills.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: Okay. Wow.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: How about that? We nailed that.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: I'm just a little wary of Joe Brady as a
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: head coach. I'm not.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: With you.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: Everything I've, all the information I've gathered, great energy, passion
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: for it. their offensive scheme, they've gotten away with a
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: lot of stuff. You mentioned the DJ Moore edition, which
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: I think is funny because the GM barked at anyone
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: who suggested the receiver court wasn't good enough prior to
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: the acquisition. Well, we always say transactions to tell you
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: what the team thinks. Yep. So despite what he said,
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: Brandon Bean, he got DJ Moore. So yeah, he's telling
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: you that it wasn't good enough, which we knew anyway,
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: they had a bunch of number threes and number fours. So,
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: but yeah, it's, They have questions, but with that quarterback,
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen is a superstar. Got to win, though, in
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: the playoffs, but he's a superstar.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: Very true. All right, who's your sixth team?
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: I've got the Eagles there. This, it would not shock
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: me if Rick Wolin holds up and doesn't get benched.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: If he plays well, it would not shock me if
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: they wound up being the number one defense. They are
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: so loaded. Their front seven, to me, is the best
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: in the National Football League.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: Don't know what Grenard's going to give him because he
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: hasn't practiced since last year. Until now, whatever he's doing,
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: we'll find out. But we've outlined on several shows the
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: lack of quality corner depth. That's an issue. The quality
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: of overall safety, okay. We'll see. And then obviously the
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: big question is, can Hurts get this offense? Can he
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: play consistent football? I'm one of the few media people
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: who thinks he will. I've seen the comments out there.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: People think it doesn't fit the way Jalen plays. But
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: I'll continue to say we've seen timing throws. We've seen it.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: We've isolated on inside the tape with Coastal. You just
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: got to be consistent with it. There's no going back
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: to any other offense. This is the offense they're running,
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: but I'm, I'm feeling Jalen gets it. Everything I've heard publicly,
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: privately has been, he's into, he's into it. He knows
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: he understands. Okay. We've got to see it, but I'm,
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: I just feeling like it's going to happen. We'll see
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: if I'm right or wrong.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: I like, I, I had him on top 10. I
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: had him nine. You have a little higher. That's, I
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: think it makes a lot of sense. They are one
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: of those teams that has variants because of, the new
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: offense and not knowing how it's going to take my
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: 16 was the Texans. I know you mentioned how elite
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: their defense is. We don't, I mean, you have the Eagles,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: I have the Texans. They're both very similar in that
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: they have elite defenses, maybe the best defenses in the NFL,
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: more question marks on offense, the Texans. I'm banking on
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: the addition of David Montgomery. And then they drafted a
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: guard that they already love. And you and I heard
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: great things about him. in the pre-draft process, we'll sell
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: all of them. Keelan Rutledge, the left guard, I think
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: it was Georgia tech that he played at. So Ursary,
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: another year of development on the left side, left tackle
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: Rutledge there at left guard. Um, Ed Ingram, do I
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: love him as a right guard and Trent Brown is
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: the right tackle? No, but they played a decent amount
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: of football. And if they're going to run with Montgomery
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: now losing their, their, their wide receiver, that really sucks.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: Um, Oh, Jane Higgins and, and, Yeah. Look, I know
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: he's going to play football at some point, and he's
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: worked his ass off just a terrible injury.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: It hurts them. It hurts them.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: It was a sneaky good trade by Casario to get
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: Keyshawn Boutte in there and pair him with Nico Collins.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: I like the moral.
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. The Eagles didn't want him. The
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: Eagles went in the A.J. Brown trade, but he's going
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: to help them. He's just not fast. Yeah. This guy's
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: a good possession receiver. Collins is a stud. He just
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: gets hurt a lot. Jalen Noel will be the slot receiver.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: they're good enough at tight end. Yep. Oh boy. That,
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: that Marlon Klein pick that just shocked a lot of
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: people in the NFL for him to go in the
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: second round like that. That's up there with Ben Senate,
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: you know, the second round tight end for the, from
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: Kansas state.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: Right. I was going to say it was up there
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: with the Jags going with Berkshire, which surprised everybody.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: After they extended Brent, Brent and strange was a second round.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: It was actually a good player.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: So, right.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: I'm with you. I'm with you. I, they're, they're, It's
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: really– and then could C.J. Stroud– I just don't know.
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: He was elite as a rookie, and it's been downhill
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: ever since. Yeah.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: Well, if they get this running game, if they make
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: him more feel comfortable and not thinking that there's pressure
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: because they're running the ball, Montgomery and the upgrades on
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: their O-line, and that tight end, they've got some guys
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: who can block there. So D'Amico has proven to be
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: a great coach. I think they're going to win the
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: ASC South. So, yeah, Texans are sixth.
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: I hope so because I– yeah, I'm not a Jaguar
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: fan anyway.
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah. All right, fifth team. Who's your fifth best team?
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: This is tough. I have the Ravens, and they're going
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: to look so different offensively. No fool about Declan Doyle,
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: who's a Sean Payton protege, and then he did coach
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: one year with Ben Johnson. Didn't call the plays, though.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: 30 years old, interviewed for the Eagles OC job. Might
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: have had it if he wanted it, but he went
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: to Baltimore. I'm loving it. I'm loving it that he's
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: going to bring this up to speed. I know they
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: have Derrick Henry that's going to start with a run,
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: but I expect the pass attempt numbers to go up
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: with Lamar. I'm just an anti-Weaver, getting another chance to
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: be defense coordinator, remember him as a player. The Trey
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: Hendrickson signing is going to be fun. This is just
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: a very interesting team to me. And boy, did Jacoby Landis,
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: one of my favorite rookie receivers, he was awesome at
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: the practice that I was at a while back. So yeah,
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: they're a top five, top six team to me.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: Sure, sure. I actually have them a little later. We'll
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: talk about that in a second. My fifth team is
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: the Patriots. I know a lot of people think that
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: they should be a top three team. In my mind,
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: they were actually the fourth best team in the NFL
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: last year. I think the Broncos should have been in
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. They would have if they didn't have
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: to start Jarrett Stidham. Sean Payton made a bad coaching
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: decision to forego a field goal in that AFC championship game.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: We all know about it in the snow. But I
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: think the Broncos are better teams. then the Patriots will
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: get to that. I thought the Rams and the Seahawks
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: were better overall than the Patriots last year. And I
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: think that the Patriots, because they played a very soft schedule,
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: will take a little bit of a step back. Now,
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: they're my fifth best team, so it's.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: Not like I'm saying they're bad. This is the schedule.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: At Seattle, of course, on Wednesday. Home against the Steelers,
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: what I really like. At the Jags and at the Bills. Now,
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: if they survive, then it gets easier. Host the Raiders
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: and host the Jets. So, yeah, they got to go
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: through this gauntlet the first four games.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's going to be tough. So they're not
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: the deepest team either. You know, they're already at running back.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: They're hurt because Travion Henderson, A, didn't have a good camp. B,
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: is already dealing with an ankle. Ramondre puts the ball
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: on the carpet too much. We have to see how
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: Will Campbell, right? I don't want to mispronounce. All right.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: Will Campbell, their left tackle, bounces back. He was hurt.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: He got exposed a little bit at the end of
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: the year. They lost some guys. in free agency on
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: the defensive side. And of course, Christian Gonzalez saga has
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: been going on. That's, that's just a bad saga to
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: have happened to them. Go ahead.
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: We won't get into the variable. They're good. So yeah. Yeah.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: It's funny.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: Their roster. I remember running into someone of the Patriots
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: at the joint practices. So man, you guys rosters way
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: better than last year.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, he was. Oh yeah, dude.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Cause they addressed a lot of
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: needs and, They spent in free agency. Where you have
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: the Patriots, that's where I have them. Exactly where I
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: have them.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, you have the Ravens fifth. You have the Patriots fourth.
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sorry.
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: Well, okay.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: They're my fourth team.
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: I have the Patriots fourth. Very close. Okay. All right.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: For similar reasons. So you have the Patriots fourth. My
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: fourth team is the Seahawks. Adam, I just think that
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: as good as they were last year, they lost some
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: really key players. They obviously lost, what, Kenneth Walker, right?
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: They lost a pass rusher or two in Boye, Mafei.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: Who else did they lose? They lost another player on defense.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: It's escaping me right now. But I think that they
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: could be the best team again. It's just hard to
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: repeat as Super Bowl champions. I don't have a whole
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: list of things that I think make them a lot less,
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: except for the fact that now they've got to rely
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: on a rookie running back in Jadarian Price. Charbonnet is
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: not going to be ready to come back for a
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: little bit, and they're going to be the hunted. So
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: there's still to me, Oh, by the way, this is
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: the loss. They lost Clint Kubiak, which to me is huge.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, he made such a difference in that offense.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: And I know they hired a Shanahan disciple there to go.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: This is, he's a first time play crawler, but here's
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: the thing. He's been a defensive coach. Yes. I don't very,
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: I've talked to people who are going very smart, well-respected guy,
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: but I don't know, man. This is the tough one.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: I'm with you on Seattle. I have him as my
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: fourth team.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: And then.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: So you had Patriots as four, right? I had Seahawks four.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: You had Patriots four. You had Ravens five. Okay, Seattle's
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: for three. That's what I thought.
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: And then I've got Denver. I don't know what the
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: odds makers are thinking. Show me where the Broncos weakness is.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: I'm with you. That was my number two team. By
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: the way, I had Ravens. Just before we move on,
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: I had the Ravens as my three team because I
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: just think they're pulling for a huge bounce back. They're
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: going to play a third place schedule. You mentioned it, right?
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: Declan Doyle is going to come in and bring that.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: under center off that, that Ben Johnson.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: Kind of offense, West coast offense, by the way, he's right.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: I think Lamar will be motivated by everybody thinking he
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: stinks now from last year. And he needs a little motivation.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: Sometimes he needs to be healthy, but the defense, I mean,
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: they brought Trey Hendrickson in and you know what they
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: got on the backend with Humphrey, with Kyle Hamilton. And
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: I think Minter is going to be, it's just such
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: an excellent fit. He's been in the building. I see
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: a big bounce back for the Ravens. So that brought
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: us to number two.
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: They're, they're really solid. The only issue is, We'll see
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: if Trey Henningsen is now well into his thirties and
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: Mike Green and Zion Young.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: You know, they, they, the only issue I would have is,
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: is the, is on their offensive line, the interior with
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: Popesic and John Simpson, who was a, was Raven, he's back,
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: you know, with the Jets.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: That's fair. Stanley's getting older every year.
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: The quality of the, the receiver depth. I mean, they're
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: going younger with Surratt and Jacoby Leno I mentioned earlier.
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: It says Walker needs to be better. See, Flowers is
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: a good player. He got his contract. By the way,
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: Mark Edwards is– Mark Andrews, not Edwards. Mark Andrews. You're
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: worried about the hands. The hands are getting a little shaky. Yep.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: But they're going to be there. They're always good, and
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: I like the staff.
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: Agreed. Okay, and then that brought us to number two,
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: which was the Broncos. We both had Broncos at number two.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. I feel like this is the
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: most slept-on team– In the NFL. They can make an
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: argument for number one. They should have been in the
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl last year. Now, I get the whole Jonathan
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: Cooper situation is not good. He's on the commissioner's exempt list.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: They do have pretty deep pass rushers, though. And then
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: they added Jalen Waddell, a first-round all-pro player. And we
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: know all the metrics say that Nix likes to drive
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: the ball deep. He just hasn't had a true vertical threat. Well,
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: now he has a number one wide receiver to go
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: along with You know, Cortland Sutton, who's still a pretty
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: good possession receiver. They love Pat Bryant as a slot.
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: Their offensive line is one of the best. Yeah. You know,
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, like there's, this team is basically last year's team,
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: but with Jalen Waddle. I know they lost John Franklin.
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: Without Cooper, without Cooper's on the commissioner's exemplist, I believe.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: Correct. That's the only thing. Now, if he winds up
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: getting cleared and fine, then to me, they are the
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: team to beat in the AFC.
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: Because that, honestly, the one issue they have, yes, Benito Studd,
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: But without Cooper, and we have no idea when and
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: if he's coming back.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: It's tough. Jonah Ellis is sort of a tweener.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Zach Allen's a good player, though. I know he's
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: not an edge rusher, but he's a front guy.
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a front guy. Right, right. He's still a
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: good player. Jonah, another one of Luke Ellis' kids. I
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: don't know how many kids he's got. Yeah. It's a
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: little bit of an issue. Zach Allen is a good player.
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: But between Sutton, Waddle, Pat Bryant, they have guys who
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: could run to Mims and Franklin. Evan Ingram is their
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: move tight end. Adam Troutman is the wide. They're loaded
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: at running back with Harvey. Dobbins has done a great job.
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: And Jonah Coleman, I know they're very high on his
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: fourth rounder this year out of Washington. Yeah. They're better
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: than the Chiefs. I don't understand why the oddsmakers have
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: the Chiefs winning that division. We'll see if I'm right
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: or wrong. I don't see it.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: That is crazy to me. I can't even fathom why.
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Broncos are just loaded. And we're going
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: to get to see if Davis Webb does anything as
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: a play caller that even makes the offense take up
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: another one.
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: Guys, I don't have the Chiefs as a playoff team,
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: and I do radio on Kansas City. I'm going to
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: get bleeped on Thursday.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: I don't either. You and I both agree. I didn't
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: have them there.
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: This is what I think. This is what I know.
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: I ask people who work in the NFL business, what
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: do you think? When they look at their tape, they
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: just don't see it. Nobody sees that him as a
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: playoff team that I've talked to. So we'll see if
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: I'm right or wrong.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: And not shockingly, we both have the same number one
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: as number two, and that's the Rams. I mean, it's
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: pretty obvious reasons they got. I thought that they were
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: the best combination of offense and defense last year. They
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: didn't have a great defense, but their offense was great.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: They scored willingly against the Seahawks in the games that
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: they played against them, but their special teams failed them miserably.
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: And that's why they weren't in the Super Bowl. I
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: think they would have beaten the Patriots if they had
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: made it there. And obviously they just reloaded with some incredible,
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: like getting Miles Garrett, Aaron Donald coming back, Trent McDuffie.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: They took care of their weaknesses in a way that
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: most teams can't say that they did. So, you know,
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: I know that they're all the pressures on them, Adam,
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: because now they're dubbed the super team. But I mean,
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: how do you argue with it? They're not great on,
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: as far as depth on the O-line there, there's a
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: legal issue.
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: Very weak.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: But they've always been that way, right? They've always been.
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: Get away with it.
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: Get away with it. Yeah. I mean, and the depth
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: of receiver, that's why they traded for Tutu Atwell. It
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: never did anything for that better return. That is why,
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: by the way, if you want to know why Sean
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: McVay went out of his comfort zone and went with
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: so much 12 and 13 personnel, lack of quality depth
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: of receiver. He just, he had to do it and
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: he knew they were in trouble. So they actually, they
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: traded for Tutu. It was with the Dolphins.
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: Overloaded a tight end they're good at recorum is one
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: of the best backup running backs in the nfl stafford's
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: elite yep he's probably gonna be hall of famer yep
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: now they're good they cannot afford an offensive line injury
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: at all they're just in they're in trouble but they're
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: super deep now a corner finally with what the two
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: kansas city corners uh quentin lake who's their joker sort
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: of safety dickle and curl and and kinshasa and Emmanuel
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: Forbes is not a bad backup corner. He's just not.
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: They were winning games with him as a starting corner.
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: I know. That's why they went overboard a corner and
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: spent all the money. Yep. No, they should be the
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: number one team. Doesn't mean they're going to win the
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl. You see this in sports when everybody says
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: the team's going to be great, something happens. Yes. But
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: on paper, they're the best.
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: Hey, Philly fans, game day is stressful enough. Parking, traffic,
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: long lines. We've all been there. But when it comes
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: to your cannabis... Camden Apothecary makes it easy. This is

• 56:36
  Speaker 1: great prices, and an experience made for Philly fans 21
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: and up. All right, so the Rams are the number
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: one team. So good stuff there. To recap real quick,
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: Adam's top 10 are 10-1 Jags, Texans, Bears, Bills, Eagles, Ravens, Patriots, Seahawks, Broncos, Rams.
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: Mine from 10-1 are Chargers, Eagles, Niners, Bills, Texans, Patriots, Seahawks, Ravens, Broncos, Rams.
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: So we pretty much had the same. You had the Bears.
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: I didn't. I had the Chargers. You didn't. So that's
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: basically it. Wow.
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: You didn't have the Bears?
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: Adam, that defense, I can't.
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: I know you're looking at the talent. I get it. Now,
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: Jalen Johnson at corner, they had so many injuries last season.
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So many injuries. The NFC North, I like... the
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: Packers and Lions. And I think that they're all going
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: to beat each other up, which means one of those
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: teams will probably be a top 10 team. But I'm
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: not going to put the Packers. So they were one
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: of my outside looking in. I think they're going to
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: finally start to throw the ball around a little bit.
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: And I like their three.
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing.
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: We'll see.
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: If Caleb Johnson, the Steelers didn't want him, they might
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: have caught him if they couldn't trade him. They just
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: didn't want him. But he does fit what they want
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: to run the ball first. Matt LaFleur, I can't stand
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: as a play caller. What it is, he is so
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: married to running the football. They are so deep at receiver.
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: Their pass target group is super deep, but he doesn't
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: take advantage of it. And remember, Parsons is on PUP, okay? Yep.
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: Josh Jacobs, he's on the commissioner's exemplars. We don't know
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: when and if he's going to play. That's killer. Marshawn
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: Lloyd is always hurt, okay?
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: Super exposed to third-round pick, but always hurt, yeah.
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's talented. Well, I just.
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: Remember when they had issues running the ball prior to
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: signing Josh Jacobs, so 2023, that's when they threw the
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: ball more and you saw Jordan Love just explode. So
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: I almost think that their issue– well, they did it
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: that year in 2020. He had like 600 and something
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: pass attempts. So if they get to 500.
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: Attempts– He's not going to do it. Yeah, but if
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: they could run the ball, if they could combine Lloyd
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: and Johnson, who does fit, he does fit their scheme better. Mm-hmm. he's,
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: they're going to ball control. That's what he wants in
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: the playoffs. He gets so tight as a playoff play caller,
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: Matt LaFleur. Right. It is what it is.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: But you're right. I have a blind spot there. I
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: should have an NFC North team in my top 10
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: and I don't.
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: Wow. You don't have one.
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: I just don't know what it would be. I just
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: don't know that it would be the Bears if I
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: were to pick one. The Lions got a lot of firepower, man.
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: And once they get those safeties back, and they will
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: be back, playing a third-place schedule. They got a problem
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: at corner.
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: Remember Terry and Arnold?
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: They always have a problem at corner. They always win
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: double-digit games.
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that doesn't mean they're going to be a
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: playoff team.
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: No, but the top 10 would be a playoff team.
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: I would have them.
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: If I had to put 11 and 12, it would
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: be the Packers and Lions. And Chiefs, somewhere around there.
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That's fair. Well, that's why I don't have them
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: in my top 10 either.
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: Good stuff. That is our annual bottom five, top 10.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: And now it's up to the NFL to play it out,
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: and we'll see what happens. That's going to do it
• 59:50
