- 2:12Anyway, so let's go into the NFC West.
- 2:16An AFC West preview. So here we are.
- 2:18We're going to do this every episode until the season starts.
- 2:21We're going to take the West today.
- 2:24We're going to do the South on Wednesday all the way, leaving
- 2:28our beloved NFC and AFC East to the end right before the season.
- 2:33So we're starting off with the NFC West.
- 2:36So just to go through who we got here in the NFC West, the teams
- 2:40that we're going to rank by the end of this, but let's talk
- 2:43about them each first. You got the Cardinals, the Rams,
- 2:46the 49ers and the Seahawks. So starting off with the
- 2:52favorite, your favorite team. Who do you think's the favorite?
- 2:56Actually, Errol. The Rams, The Rams, The Rams.
- 2:59Are probably the favorites going into this and the Rams, Sean
- 3:03McVay, they just gave Karen William Byron Williams money so
- 3:07now he's paid about 11,000,000 a season to be their running back
- 3:11kind of going late in fantasy drafts actually.
- 3:13Kyron Williams, I don't really understand why a little later
- 3:15than he should. Efficiency, that guy's really
- 3:17good efficiency, smiciency speedy.
- 3:21He's going to get every carry like he has been over there and
- 3:26they're going to throw it to to puka Nakua.
- 3:27They don't have Cooper Cup now, Errol.
- 3:30Now the question is, is it just we're moving on and the offense
- 3:35doesn't miss a beat without Cooper Cup or is this a guy who
- 3:38does a little bit more than what you could see?
- 3:41You know, even if he's not making catches, maybe he's not
- 3:43getting open like he used to, but he's always been a good, you
- 3:46know, intangibles guy, a good blocker, a good everything else
- 3:50on the field. The Rams going to be as good as
- 3:51people think. Yes, I I think Devante Adams
- 3:54adding the addition of Devante Adams.
- 3:55He's he's an explosive player. He's a little bit better than
- 3:58Cooper Cup is after the season. The guy could could give you
- 4:021213 hundred yards this year, depending on how Matthew
- 4:05Stafford is, if he stays healthy.
- 4:07They had the edit Terrence Ferguson.
- 4:09I like him. We've we interviewed him when he
- 4:11was going into college. He's an explosive player at
- 4:13explosive tight end who can block and catch the ball in many
- 4:17different ways in the field and they're going to be explosive
- 4:19defensively. This is a team that is not a
- 4:22very strong defensively with as far as the front 7 is concerned,
- 4:25the secondary with the additions that they had in the offseason,
- 4:28I think they're going to be very explosive.
- 4:30I see them winning 10 or 11 games this year.
- 4:32I, I really think the Rams could be one of the more dangerous
- 4:35teams in the other. See if there if there's a team
- 4:36that's going to challenge teams like the Green Bay Packers or
- 4:41even maybe people say the Minnesota Vikings this year or
- 4:45the Detroit Lions or how about the Philadelphia Eagles?
- 4:48This is the team in the NFC that can I know they rated there was
- 4:51a couple of people SI rated them AB minus Sports Illustrated,
- 4:56which is Sports Illustrated and added them as AB minus.
- 5:00ESPN rated them an A minus. They they could be explosive
- 5:04offensively. They can run the ball and this
- 5:06is an offensive line that played well in the second-half of the
- 5:08season. So Sean Mcfae's a good coach.
- 5:11He's a offensive minded coach and he really transit
- 5:14transcended their defense last year with some of the young
- 5:18talented players they have. I'm interested to see, hey,
- 5:21maybe Aaron Donald comes back this year.
- 5:23There have been stories coming out that he's been over there
- 5:25working with the team and training with the team in the
- 5:28offseason. He's looked really, really good
- 5:30as far as his, you know, his body and his build.
- 5:33I'm interested to see if this team wins 10 or 11 games this
- 5:37year and they have a chance to win a Super Bowl.
- 5:38If Aaron Donald comes back, it looks like he could, so we'll
- 5:41see. Yeah, this is a really good
- 5:42young homegrown defense. He seemed very different from
- 5:45their Super Bowl team, where they've kind of patched it
- 5:46together at linebacker and safety, but they had the
- 5:48veterans at corner. But you talk about the two pass
- 5:50rushers last year you had you had a guy in Kobe Durant that
- 5:53was a very good young corner, Kobe Turner, a good young
- 5:55defensive lineman that was I think a finalist for Rookie of
- 5:58the Year in 2020. 3 So this is a defense that has really been
- 6:01rising. They've been a second-half team
- 6:02each of each of the last two years after kind of slow start.
- 6:05So they'll have to probably get a faster start to be like one of
- 6:08the one or two seeds in the NFC. But they definitely have the
- 6:11talent and the coaching to. Be how many wins?
- 6:13I think they're 11:00 and 12:00 I could.
- 6:14Definitely, that's what I. Think you definitely can see in
- 6:16that range. Obviously the Eagles and
- 6:18probably the Lions maybe are a little more talented on paper,
- 6:20but I don't think definitively they're any, they're any less
- 6:22talented on paper than anyone else at this point.
- 6:24Still with the coaching to go along with it in a scheme that's
- 6:26worked for a very long time. Yeah, I think, I think McVeigh
- 6:30does a great job of of bouncing it out and I think you know him
- 6:34relating to the guys and and who he brings in.
- 6:36I thought you were going to go a little bit on your favorite
- 6:40team, the 49ers, and how they're going to be great this year,
- 6:42too. Yeah, right.
- 6:43Yeah, yeah. Right.
- 6:46Had to poke the bear a little bit, but yeah, I just, I like, I
- 6:50like the Rams. I've been a McVeigh fan and I
- 6:54think I think with what they got and what they brought in is
- 6:56going to is going to fit. And I think he'll, I think 11 is
- 7:02the number I think is you guys probably hit at the mail.
- 7:04Yeah, 10 or 11, that's where I think I would go #2 Arizona,
- 7:09that's what I would go. There's a pause.
- 7:11There's a pause for me with the Rams and their secondary's got
- 7:14no one you've ever heard of in it outside of Turner.
- 7:17If he develops right, they they don't have much of A secondary.
- 7:21They've pieced it together over the years.
- 7:22I mean, even when they were in the Super Bowl, didn't they
- 7:24bring what's his face off the bench?
- 7:25Eric Weddle, Yeah. Weddle off off they they just
- 7:28kind of pieced together defense. I think they is one of those
- 7:31guys like I can coach it up. I can get it to look passable.
- 7:34We will control the ball with a run game and we'll do enough
- 7:37passing and because we have great receivers and it'll be
- 7:39fine. And he's usually right with
- 7:42that. I just think they're going to
- 7:43really have to control the run game and really control the time
- 7:47of possession with the type of secondary they have or guys like
- 7:51Verse and Fisk that they develop even.
- 7:54I mean these guys, they could be really good.
- 7:57They were really good in one year.
- 7:59That D line is really good and nothing better than bad
- 8:02secondary. Having a good D line so they
- 8:03don't have to cover the field that for more than 3 or 4
- 8:05seconds every play. So good chance they can do it.
- 8:08They're just going to really need that pass rush to help that
- 8:10secondary. So after that, I mean, Errol, if
- 8:13you want to go to the Cardinals, we can go to the Cardinals.
- 8:15Jonathan Gannon was, you know, he's going into was a second or
- 8:19third year speed year. Three-year 3.
- 8:21Year 3 for Jonathan Gannon, really team.
- 8:24You know, the record might not have shown it, but the team
- 8:27really played a lot better down the stretch.
- 8:30They kind of rallied around and they just didn't have any real
- 8:33execution offensively. So obviously Kyler Murray, Kyler
- 8:38Murray, former number one overall pick, he hasn't really
- 8:42been the guy that people thought of when he was getting drafted.
- 8:45He's a little turnover happy. He's a little bit, you know,
- 8:49inaccurate. They they say that he doesn't do
- 8:52enough film study, plays too much video games, fish where he
- 8:56looks to run. Too much fish?
- 8:58Well. His running is his best part.
- 9:01Of it actually less in recent years though Java.
- 9:04But the part where he talks to about himself in third person is
- 9:08usually where guys lose me. And this is a strange cat.
- 9:13It's not like Jameis Winston where he's like, lovably
- 9:15strange. Isn't that Russell Wilson Esco
- 9:18kind? Of well, Russell Wilson is
- 9:19strange with his practice, like like he was like famously like
- 9:23doing high knees on the plane, like home.
- 9:25And yeah, he would like stretch like in the in they did a story
- 9:28like he would stretch like in the walkway, right?
- 9:31Yeah, yeah, in the aisle ways of the plane rides.
- 9:34I don't know. Well, I'm sure his Giants fans
- 9:36will find out more quirks of Russell Wilson this year.
- 9:39But as far as you know, Kyler Murray that it's as far as that
- 9:42team is only going to go as far as he goes.
- 9:44And I think everyone has a very different feeling on
- 9:48blundersized. But he's not like frail by any
- 9:51stretch of imagination. He's built, he's thick, he can
- 9:54run through. He's built like almost like
- 9:56Jalen Brunson, like just like run through people stocky.
- 10:00I think he's going to be fine this.
- 10:01Team they got Trey McBride. I think they're the best tight
- 10:03ends in the league. I think they're going.
- 10:04To be his favorite target. I think they're going to be.
- 10:07I'm going to I the, the big addition was Josh Schwett, the
- 10:11Super Bowl champion. Josh Schwett, their defense is
- 10:14going to be sensational this year.
- 10:16I think they they have a tremendous amount of offense.
- 10:18Kyler Murray is one of the more undersized quarterbacks in the
- 10:22league, but he can move inside and out of the pocket.
- 10:24He could throw. He's very accurate.
- 10:25Marvin Harrison junior, second year, I think he's going to be
- 10:28explosive. Trey McBride is one of the top
- 10:30three tight ends in all the football and James Connor,
- 10:32people forget James Connor is, is such a good running back and
- 10:36if you're a fantasy guy, you're going to draft him in the 1st
- 10:39second round. He is a great, great fantasy
- 10:41guy. I think this team is explosive
- 10:43offensively. I think they're going to do a
- 10:45lot of things great this year and some bad things defensively.
- 10:50I, I, I, I'm interested to see what the secondary is going to
- 10:53be, but they've got a tremendous amount of talent from from top
- 10:56to bottom. Buddha Baker, free safety,
- 10:58everybody knows who he is. He's explosive.
- 11:00He can hit you. He could dominate a game, but he
- 11:03also is injury prone. We have to see if this this
- 11:05defense stays healthy, if this defense stays healthy this year,
- 11:08I, I think there are playoff team and, and, and again, Kyle
- 11:11Murray's got to stay healthy. If he stays healthy, there's no
- 11:14doubt in my mind this team has enough talent and Gannon to good
- 11:17coach that if you look at what he has done as a head coach over
- 11:21there, everybody keeps talking about the, the, the coaches that
- 11:24came from the Super Bowl, the first Super Bowl champion of
- 11:27Philadelphia Eagles team. I think that this this guy
- 11:30Gannon could absolutely take take this team far in the
- 11:34playoffs. And again, the NFC, there's a
- 11:35lot of questions with the NFC besides the the Eagles and maybe
- 11:39the Detroit Lions. The Buccaneers are, are you
- 11:42scared of the Buccaneers? They'll probably win their
- 11:45division this year. Atlanta, not really.
- 11:47I, I think the Rams and Arizona could absolutely challenge the
- 11:51teams like Washington, the Commanders with a young
- 11:54quarterback in his second year. I, I could, I don't know about a
- 11:58young quarterback like the Minnesota Vikings.
- 12:00Is it his first year as a starting quarterback in the
- 12:02league? He is not Sam Donald.
- 12:04Sam Donald was a veteran quarterback.
- 12:06We have to see how it works with O'Connell.
- 12:08So there could be a lot of thoughts on Arizona and the Rams
- 12:12sneak into the playoffs and making noise.
- 12:13I I think Arizona is as dangerous as any team right now
- 12:17in the NFC. Yeah, one of my favorite
- 12:18offseasons that we saw. You mentioned Josh Sweat being
- 12:20the big move too, but also beefing up that interior
- 12:23defensive line as well during, you know, Giants legend Alvin
- 12:26Tomlinson. Darius Robinson, who was the
- 12:28first round pick last year, didn't get to play much, but
- 12:30when he played it in the second-half of the season was
- 12:31pretty good. I actually like a lot of their
- 12:33young corners that they had to. They just really didn't play as
- 12:35well as they looked on paper because of their pass rush to
- 12:38Max Melton and Garrett Williams are two draft picks from last
- 12:40year played well and then they draft Will Johnson, who I
- 12:42thought before he got hurt was the best corner in the draft of
- 12:44the time to offensively. The depth is going to be a
- 12:47question on their offensive line and with their receivers.
- 12:49But like you said, their stars are very good with James Conner
- 12:52and Trey McBride. What do you think Marvin
- 12:56Harrison Junior is going to do? Explosive.
- 12:58Better this year because I think his route tree has to grow a
- 13:00little more, but second year in that offense. 1400 yards this
- 13:03year, if Kyler Murray stays healthy, I think he's going to
- 13:05be so. Expensive.
- 13:05He said he put on like 10 lbs of muscle in the offseason.
- 13:10He looks ripped out of his mind. I mean it's not like a wide
- 13:13receiver really needs to put on muscle like that is to make you
- 13:15run faster. You might run slower actually.
- 13:17So Harrison was the 6th best performing wide receiver of the
- 13:22rookie class last year, an excellent class, but obviously
- 13:25he was taken first in that class.
- 13:26So he has something to prove this year for sure.
- 13:28I like his whole his prospects this year as well.
- 13:31I'm not nearly as high on their defense.
- 13:33They were second to last last year in defensive success rate.
- 13:37That usually means even if you were doing well, you got lucky
- 13:41at times. It's one of those more advanced
- 13:42statistics. Gannon has a very young group.
- 13:45They may have over performed last year against some of the
- 13:49metrics. I need to see it again.
- 13:51The kid Walter Nolan, they took in the first round, probably a
- 13:54bust. We were saying he was a bust.
- 13:56I he's he was more of a boom or bust guy took a little too high.
- 14:00So I just don't think I just don't think that defense has
- 14:04proven anything yet to really justify.
- 14:06They haven't proven a pass. Rush, they were injured all
- 14:09year. Last year they could not stay
- 14:11healthy. They had a tough schedule too
- 14:12last. Year.
- 14:12I think they're going to. I think they're going to be a
- 14:14lot better than you think they're going to be.
- 14:16I think it's going to be fun to watch.
- 14:18I really do. I think the rest of the vision
- 14:19is gonna be better than you think they're going to be, and I
- 14:21think that's part of. Why I disagree that good.
- 14:24All right, my next team is Seattle.
- 14:26I think Seattle is going to be pretty good this year.
- 14:29Sam Darnell, the addition of Sam Donald.
- 14:31I'm interested. I'm interested to see the
- 14:32weapons that they added. Cooper Cup.
- 14:34This is his chance to be a number one guy again.
- 14:37They lost DK Metcalf obviously in the offseason.
- 14:40Tyler Lock. It's no longer part of the
- 14:41organization. There's no more Geno Smith,
- 14:43Lincoln Tomlson. I mean, this team is is pretty
- 14:46much they subtracted to it to add addition.
- 14:49They added some good weapons in the offseason.
- 14:52And again, I'm looking to see what Jalen Milroe is going to
- 14:56be. He is the backup quarterback.
- 14:58He's going to be playing behind Sam Darnold, but he could be the
- 15:01future of the Seattle Seahawks team.
- 15:03They're a good defensive team. They have one of the more
- 15:05underrated young offensive lines in football and they can run the
- 15:09ball. They have Walker, they've got a
- 15:112 headed monster that can run all over you.
- 15:13That's what they're going to do. They're going to run, run, run
- 15:16and then they're going to throw. They're going to run, run, run
- 15:18that throat. They play old style football.
- 15:20McDonald is a defensive minded coach.
- 15:22He's going to push this defense to to become one of the elite
- 15:26defenses in a league. I don't think you're going to
- 15:28argue about what he does as a defensive coordinator, as a
- 15:31defensive mind. The question is, is this offense
- 15:33going to do enough and put enough points on the board to
- 15:36compete in the division? Yeah, they're going to be
- 15:38competitive. The only reason I'm a little
- 15:39more down on them, I think they're like 2 new all at once
- 15:42type thing. You're dealing with a new
- 15:43quarterback, a new offensive coordinator too.
- 15:44You got rid of his name was Ryan Groy at the end of last year,
- 15:47which was kind of surprising because their offense did take a
- 15:49leap last year. You saw Jackson Smith and Jig,
- 15:51but really take the leap into kind of a fringe #1 receiver.
- 15:54And the question is with their offensive line is more with
- 15:56their pass blocking. Their run block, like you were
- 15:58saying, is really good with their offensive line.
- 15:59Their pass blocking is kind of taking steps back though.
- 16:01And Darnold sometimes does have a tendency to hold the ball too
- 16:04long too. So that concerns me a little
- 16:05bit. Their defense and their
- 16:07secondary has been very good. They drafted the safety, the
- 16:10North SC safety that. Yeah, it was supposed.
- 16:13To be the best safety in the draft too.
- 16:14Front 7 still has a little bit of question marks for me, so I'm
- 16:16a little more down on the it's a kind of transition.
- 16:18It'll be like a 7-8 win team but kind of transition.
- 16:21They can run the ball, man, they can run the ball.
- 16:23They have one of the more elusive running backs in the
- 16:25league. People forget how great he is if
- 16:28he could stay healthy. Contract year firms, There's a
- 16:30big one. I think if you're drafting him
- 16:33in fantasy, I'm sorry Jabba, if you're a fantasy drafter, you
- 16:35drafting him in the top 2 rounds.
- 16:37Walker, he is going to be so explosive.
- 16:39This. He's going later.
- 16:40Yeah, I'm in the middle of the draft.
- 16:41I don't think he's been taken. We're in the fourth round.
- 16:43Well, and people are. Stupid, I've seen.
- 16:45Third, I've seen. Most of sharp early when you
- 16:47have two guys and one doesn't stay healthy that much, like
- 16:51Walker's been hurt. Chardonnay's just as good,
- 16:54almost at timing a little bit different skill set they have.
- 16:57You're absolutely right. That is an awesome run game.
- 16:59And McDonald's is a defensive coach from the Ravens.
- 17:01He wants to control the ball. That's absolutely what they're
- 17:04going to do. And Arnold, we haven't talked
- 17:07about this one guy who was a breakout last year, JSN Jackson
- 17:11Smith. And Jigba is one of the best
- 17:13receivers in football. And now that Metcalf's not
- 17:16taking the the touches from him and now that locket's not there,
- 17:19he's going to be a top five fantasy receiver this year
- 17:21because there's no one else to catch balls on that team.
- 17:24So when they're throwing, it's going to JSN watch.
- 17:26He's going to have 15 target games.
- 17:29This is my guy. I already got him in my draft.
- 17:31I'm so pumped up I got. It you see this, you see what
- 17:33I'm saying, this guy thinks he's a top five wide receiver because
- 17:36he's going to. I think I'm going to tell you
- 17:39right now I'm looking at a list that has the Seahawks as the
- 17:41number one defense heading into the league.
- 17:44They're out of their mind. Run the ball well, They're top
- 17:46five. There's no doubt they're top
- 17:47five defense. No, McDonald's a great defensive
- 17:50mind. Here inside you have Byron
- 17:52Murphy, the second, who was a great rookie inside as well.
- 17:55And then you just added DeMarcus Lawrence to be the third guy on
- 17:58that 3-4. And you have the great, you
- 18:01know, Ravens art, you know, the guy who created the Ravens, you
- 18:04know, pressure defense. The second iteration or I guess
- 18:07the third iteration after it. If you go back to Rex Ryan days,
- 18:10McDonald knows how to get a front 7 going and if they can
- 18:14play that kind of football, that's better than what I
- 18:17think's going on in that division.
- 18:19I think Kyler Murray's not going to do enough film study to beat
- 18:21that team. There's so many good pole of
- 18:23duty things. Maybe.
- 18:24Maybe he's doing Fortnite with the kids.
- 18:27Maybe. That's what's going on, Fish.
- 18:28Let's not forget they have the former Giants defensive tackle
- 18:31duo. I think that gets a Leonard
- 18:33Williams. I think that you think Najigba.
- 18:35I don't. The fact that you think Najibba
- 18:37is going to be a top five wide receiver makes.
- 18:39Me think that I'm calling it right now you're.
- 18:41Drunk. You're drunk.
- 18:42You're drinking something, you're out of your mind.
- 18:46You want to put let's let's put a bet.
- 18:48Let's put a bet. Let's make a bet.
- 18:50Let's make a bet. Top five.
- 18:51Top five Receiver fantasy. Top five.
- 18:53Receiver in PPR? PPR, Yeah.
- 18:55PPR you're saying is going to be a top five.
- 18:58What do you want? To bet top five PPR.
- 18:59What do you want to bet? What do you want to bet?
- 19:02I don't know. I don't know.
- 19:03Let's. I don't.
- 19:04Know, let's think about it because I'm telling you he's
- 19:06knocking. Do you want me to wear like one
- 19:08of the pink Yankees jerseys? No.
- 19:10Because somebody's supposed to wear a dress and a wig and some
- 19:13lips. But I'd actually do it, you know
- 19:15what I mean? Like somebody afraid of nothing.
- 19:17I got nothing to be afraid of. I'm married but.
- 19:19Keep the mustache if he's doing it though.
- 19:22I shaved my wife's like, oh, I like it.
- 19:23I was like, thank God. Close.
- 19:29By the way, before we move on to the next team, Carla, the
- 19:31comments. Jabba didn't say.
- 19:33What do you think, Jabba? I was just picturing fished in
- 19:37like a pink top. My thoughts just went way out
- 19:41the window. When that kind of came, I was
- 19:44going to talk about the balance offenses.
- 19:46They're going to be able to just give the ball around and then
- 19:49can the defense stop the other team scoring and then it just
- 19:51went. Way up all right, so I I have to
- 19:55wear some kind of weird pink top sports related pink top.
- 19:58But Errol, when I win this bet, Oh yeah.
- 20:02What's it going off of though? Fish we have to have.
- 20:04We have to have the. JSN's top five PPR wide receiver
- 20:09this year. But by the way, Fish Carl in the
- 20:13comments actually was asking if your dog barking was nithin.
- 20:18It wasn't my dog this time. It wasn't my dog.
- 20:20That was Java. Java it was.
- 20:21Java, Is your dog barking? Ethan, Is there a blue Plaza
- 20:24that we should know about? No and no leash near so I think.
- 20:29We're safe my dog wouldn't put up with.
- 20:32You on a. Leash, that's what I'm saying
- 20:33right now. No way that they would put up
- 20:35with. Me, I'm putting you on a leash
- 20:36now. A lot of hot ladies they call me
- 20:39the ladies man and Mr. Still your girl I.
- 20:42Don't think anyone's taking them thinking you get good odds on
- 20:44the Seahawks if you're. Gambling.
- 20:46All right, Last team, the 49ers 1.
- 20:48Horrible is the 49ers, Kyle Shanahan, you know the story.
- 20:52Two years ago in the Super Bowl, not a good team.
- 20:54Last year didn't make it. A lot of injuries, right.
- 20:57They let Debo Samuel go to the Commanders in the offseason.
- 21:01They've got Juwan Jennings, they've got are you coming back?
- 21:05Probably mid season, at least after Week 6, they're saying,
- 21:09and they've got Ricky Pearsall. So they've got guys the line
- 21:13maybe not as good as it used to be.
- 21:14Mccaffrey's should be healthy. They're saying this year they
- 21:17just got Brian Robinson junior for the from the commanders for
- 21:20next to nothing like 6 round pick.
- 21:23This is a team that can really, it's at like a crossroads, right
- 21:26Errol? Whether they succeed or not,
- 21:29this is the year that everything's on the table for
- 21:32the guys in the front office. And I like the Brian Robertson
- 21:36junior edition. I think it's a great move by
- 21:38them. It adds depth to their running
- 21:40back play. I mean you have Christian
- 21:42McCaffrey and Brian Robinson junior.
- 21:44You could have a 2 headed monster that could be one of the
- 21:46best in the league. And Brock pretty made a lot of
- 21:48money in the offseason and a lot of people are expecting Brock
- 21:50Purdy to go out there and put up the numbers.
- 21:52The problem right now is the they lost a lot in the
- 21:56offseason. They lost Leonard Floyd, they
- 21:57lost Dre Greenlaw, they they've lost a lot of players,
- 22:01especially a secondary, lost Ward in the offseason.
- 22:04So they're they're going into a season where they're weakest in
- 22:08their strength. They bring back Bambi Sala.
- 22:11Is that going to make a difference?
- 22:12Honestly, I don't think it makes any difference when it comes to
- 22:15their defense. I think the question is, is
- 22:18where they going to get the offense as far as the wide
- 22:19receiving is concerned. They have Ricky Pearsall.
- 22:22He's going to be your number one guy until week 8.
- 22:25Is that going to be enough till what's his name comes back?
- 22:30Ayu, Ayu comes back. When Ayu comes back, maybe
- 22:34that's enough. They got to keep they got to
- 22:35stay afloat until Ayu comes back.
- 22:38They're going to have to depend on their running game and
- 22:39Christian McCaffrey. Teams already know what they're
- 22:42going to do with Christian McCaffrey.
- 22:43They're going to use him in the wide receiving game and they're
- 22:45going to use them as as as a power back.
- 22:48Once teams figure that out, you're going to have to try to
- 22:50spread out that offense and use these running backs in an open
- 22:54in an open style of game. So I don't know how that's going
- 22:57to work. And offensively, you're gonna
- 22:59have to expect Nick Bosa and Fred Warner to take over games
- 23:03if they're expected to compete in this division with the Rams,
- 23:06Arizona and Seattle. These two guys have to be the
- 23:09best defensive players in all of football if they expect to stay
- 23:13in it. I just think they're they're
- 23:14really were they're not very well put together.
- 23:17They're getting old. George Kittle, everybody's
- 23:19expecting George Kittle to have the season he had last year as a
- 23:22pro ball player. I don't see it.
- 23:24I don't see it. So I I think this team doesn't
- 23:26make the playoffs. I think it's bye bye to Kyle
- 23:29Shanahan, bye bye to Bambi, and bye bye to the one and only John
- 23:33Lynch. This team needs to completely be
- 23:35restructured in the next 10 to 15 years if they expect to win a
- 23:39Super Bowl, which, by the way, they haven't done since, what,
- 23:411994? Yeah, the, the pass rush, how
- 23:44quick it develops is going to define this season.
- 23:46I, I kind of look at the 49ers this year, like the 2021 49ers,
- 23:49I think they're going to start off pretty slow like they
- 23:51usually do, and then they're going to get it going later in
- 23:53the season. Now, Brian Robinson's
- 23:54interesting addition, I think you're going to see him run a
- 23:56lot and have like you're saying, McCaffrey line up as a receiver
- 23:59in certain sets as well. They also brought back Jeff
- 24:01Wilson kind of as a power back to make it aid for McCaffrey
- 24:04where he doesn't have to be that workhorse that he was in 2023.
- 24:07But the defense I think will define a lot.
- 24:08They drafted a lot of rookies on the defensive line.
- 24:10They trade for Bryce Hoff from the from the Eagles after he
- 24:14bombed over there. But you mentioned the biggest
- 24:16concern, the offensive line for a pocket quarterback guy and
- 24:19Brock Purdy. Can they get enough protection
- 24:21with Dominic Poni play very well And obviously you got Trent
- 24:24Williams, they lost Aaron Banks and can they get any of these
- 24:27other guys to emerge in that system to just be able to block
- 24:30for a proper quarterback? I think they're a fringe playoff
- 24:32team. They're like them and the
- 24:33Cardinals I have in the same cusp right now.
- 24:35It'll just depend on how quickly they start on the defense and
- 24:38their offensive line. Speedy, take a breath, Jesus.
- 24:43Yeah, I don't he definitely didn't take a breath out.
- 24:45He got it all out. No, I, I, it's always the Niners
- 24:49are always interesting. Well, any team that Mccaffrey's
- 24:51with just as it's like, OK, what, 3 weeks is he going to
- 24:54miss? Who's going to step up and and
- 24:56do whatever? Brian Robinson obviously is
- 24:58going to get that where I think they they extend to take a
- 25:01little bit of those hits away from McCaffrey and then, you
- 25:05know, Pierce saw. I mean, the dude gets shot can
- 25:08play like he's the number one in my book.
- 25:12But yeah, it's it'll be it'll be interesting too, to see how
- 25:16Purdy now now getting paid if he tries to do too much.
- 25:20I'm really interested in that because it's like, OK, now, does
- 25:24does he rest on his laurels or does he go out and, you know,
- 25:26try to prove himself and be like, hey, I am worth this.
- 25:29I wasn't just Mr. irrelevant and played, you know, out of my
- 25:31shoes. Now I can I can go spread the
- 25:33ball around and get us where we want.
- 25:35I I got fringe too with probably.
- 25:39I don't even I don't think they get double digit wins.
- 25:42I don't think so. No, they don't win more than 7-8
- 25:45games. They're not making the playoffs.
- 25:47Kyle Shannon's going to be looking for a new job, maybe as
- 25:50an offensive court. I don't even know if I trust him
- 25:52as a head coach anymore. I think he needs time.
- 25:54Maybe as a broadcaster, play by play guy.
- 25:57He needs to get away from the game of football because he just
- 26:00he can't win the big game. And, and this team, go look at
- 26:04their drafts. Their drafts have not been good.
- 26:06They're back. They're banking on Trent
- 26:08Williams to stay healthy this year as your star left tackle.
- 26:12I don't know if that's possible. I think this team is just old
- 26:15and washed up. If I were them right now, I try
- 26:18to move Warner and Nick Boson, you know, at the trade deadline
- 26:21or in the offseason to get as much as I can back to rebuild
- 26:24this team. I just don't think they're any
- 26:26good anymore. I think they're washed up.
- 26:29If you have the best off ball linebacker in the league and a
- 26:33top five defensive lineman in the league, you still got guys
- 26:36on that side of the ball because that's what those two guys are,
- 26:39right? And Pierce all at least said a
- 26:41job. But that dude got shot and came
- 26:43back second-half of the season and balled out.
- 26:47How about that? That is awesome.
- 26:49Please, you wanna? That's come on you.
- 26:51Get shot, Dan. Robinson Junior did that too.
- 26:54Now they have two guys on their team that did that.
- 26:57They should hang out. That's pretty crazy.
- 26:58They could go go to a BBQ. Yeah, maybe they could hang out
- 27:01at a BBQ or something like that. Hey, where did you get shot?
- 27:04Oh, I got shot in my legs. Well, I got shot in my chest,
- 27:07you know they. Both played within like and they
- 27:12both played half like less than half a season into the season.
- 27:15Unbelievable story with those. Guys, where's $0.50 when you
- 27:18need them? It's.
- 27:19You know, you know this story is going.
- 27:21To be McCaffrey, though, many men.
- 27:22Mccaffrey's good, they're going to be good.
- 27:24If Mccaffrey's not good, they're not going to.
- 27:27Be it's just that I'm losing my. Mind, I think they could be they
- 27:30have they have the widest range of outcomes.
- 27:32They can be a playoff team If if Mccaffrey's excellent like he
- 27:36used to be, they could be a playoff.
- 27:37Team they're not making. They could bottom out and be the
- 27:40worst team in this division. Let's get into the AFC, guys.
- 27:43This is a division of the Chiefs.
- 27:46Yes, the Chiefs have reigned supreme in the AFC West for
- 27:50quite a long time, but they have probably their greatest
- 27:52challenge yet this year with the Chargers and Broncos sniffing on
- 27:58their heels and sniffing, sniffing.
- 28:00And then there's. I'm sorry.
- 28:08I love you. And then there's the Raiders,
- 28:13who I guess we could talk about very quickly.
- 28:14Pete Carroll's there with Geno Smith.
- 28:17We know they. Just Tom Brady's going to take
- 28:19him to the take him to the ship. What console?
- 28:23Tom Brady's going to take him to the shitter.
- 28:28John, which version of college football video game are you
- 28:31going for? Ashton Gente.
- 28:34Oh, recall. Did you see the story of the
- 28:38house that he was looking at or something?
- 28:41Brady or Gently Tom Brady can afford whatever the hell he
- 28:44wants, but no, Gently was looking at something create like
- 28:4717 million or something like that.
- 28:49It was nuts. I wish I had $17 million to go
- 28:51and buy a house with, you know. They no no state tax in Nevada
- 28:55so. Well, well, look, they do have
- 28:58the best player at a position on their team.
- 29:00And as Brock Bowers, Brock Bowers is the top tight end in
- 29:02football coming into this season.
- 29:04You know, Kelsey Kelsey's days are gone, as we know.
- 29:07So this is the guy. They're saying that he's going
- 29:10to have something like 75 more. Fans.
- 29:12I believe it then. The next tight end he's played,
- 29:15he plays like a receiver that is built like a tight end just
- 29:18killing people. He was great in college.
- 29:21He all those Georgia receivers that went high, he was better
- 29:24than them in college. He's better than them now.
- 29:27He's he just looks like a transcendent talent.
- 29:29And Genting might be great too. So they might have two pieces on
- 29:33offense with the Hall of Fame coach and a veteran.
- 29:36Quarter. So you're going with Vegas, your
- 29:38number one team right now in the division?
- 29:40No, I'm saying let's start with them because, OK, I needed to
- 29:42say the positive, OK, and now I'm done.
- 29:46I was just about to say, isn't that about it?
- 29:48That's it. I, I, I like the addition of P
- 29:52Carroll. I think he's a great coach.
- 29:54I think obviously he's the oldest coach right now in the
- 29:56NFLI. Think that's something that the
- 29:59Raiders needed. Losing John Gruden over the last
- 30:027-8 years and and all the debacles that they brought in
- 30:05over the last couple of years have been nothing but an
- 30:08absolute joke. I think Geno Smith, the addition
- 30:11of him, Rahi Mostert, Ashton Gente, I think all these guys
- 30:15are going to be very explosive. And Brock Powers is one of the
- 30:17more elusive, one of the more fun offensive players we're
- 30:21going to see in this league for many, many years to come.
- 30:23This guy is going to be so explosive.
- 30:25We thought, we thought this about Kyle Pitts.
- 30:28This guy is way better than Kyle Pitts.
- 30:29He can block, he could catch, he can run the ball, he could do
- 30:32everything. Geno Smith has never had a
- 30:34weapon this good and he's going to be able to use him in so many
- 30:37parts of the offensive side of the ball Office inside of the
- 30:40game. And Ashton Gente, I met the the
- 30:43kid. The kid is fun to watch.
- 30:44He's he's so cool and collective.
- 30:47He's very as a nice style when it comes to the way he dresses
- 30:51when it comes, when it comes to wearing suits and and going out
- 30:54in the public eye. I love his personality.
- 30:56I think he's going to be fun to watch.
- 30:57I think they're, they're an 8 win team and, and by the way,
- 31:01Max Crosby is a beast. He is one of the best defensive
- 31:05lineman in the league. This guy's going to have about
- 31:071617 sacks this year and the defense is, is going to be much
- 31:10better. On to Pete Carroll, who's a
- 31:12defensive mighty coach. So I, I, I like, I like what I
- 31:16see with Geno Smith, Ashton Gente and Brock Bowers.
- 31:19I think they're the worst team right now in the division.
- 31:21But it, it, they're A-Team that's going to be growing and
- 31:24we'll see how long Pete Carroll stays there.
- 31:25If Pete Carroll's there for four or five years, they could be
- 31:29contender in the next three or four years.
- 31:31So. Yeah, it's interesting that I
- 31:33think with their defense especially, I think you're look
- 31:35at a lot of prospects that I liked coming out of the last few
- 31:37drafts that I think have not developed under that coaching
- 31:40staff. They've had three different
- 31:41defensive coordinators. Obviously with the whole Josh
- 31:43McDaniels debacle. I think Pete Carroll, especially
- 31:45with the guys up front, are going to help with that out a
- 31:47lot with a roster turnover, they're not going to be a great
- 31:50defense, but I think you're going to be a much more
- 31:51competitive defense than they were.
- 31:53Offensively. Obviously, Genti and Bowers are
- 31:54the freak athletes. The offensive line I think is
- 31:56decent but not great yet. And like we said before, like
- 32:00can we trust any of their wide receivers at this point?
- 32:02Question. I see like a tough no six win
- 32:04team with them, but they'll definitely.
- 32:05Do they're gonna have more than six wins?
- 32:07They're have more than six wins with that, with the weapons that
- 32:10they have at Brock Bowers and Ashton Genti, I think they could
- 32:12take over games and and if you look at their schedule, their
- 32:15schedule is fairly easy. So besides the division that
- 32:19they're in and they got to go against the Chargers twice I
- 32:21think. That's an O and six division
- 32:22record though. Yeah, but that's fine.
- 32:24They always find a random way to beat the chargers.
- 32:26They beat the Chargers. I think they could still beat
- 32:28the Kansas City Chiefs. The Kansas City Chiefs have a
- 32:30lot of weaknesses that they're not as good as they've been over
- 32:33the years. And as far as the Broncos are
- 32:36concerned, we don't know what Broncos team is going to show up
- 32:39week by week when they're hot and they're they're playing
- 32:41great. They're almost unstoppable
- 32:43defensively. What the question is
- 32:45offensively, are they going to have enough weapons to put up
- 32:49the numbers that everybody thinks they're going to so?
- 32:51So are you giving them borderline playoffs or what?
- 32:54Do what? Do we?
- 32:54No, no, no, no. I think they'll, they'll win
- 32:56seven or eight games. That's what I that's where I see
- 32:59as far as Vegas is concerned, I think they're a much better team
- 33:02this year than they were last year and the year before.
- 33:04Four wins, 4 fish. I think they're going to be one
- 33:08of the worst teams in football and they're going to get a top
- 33:09pick because they need it. They're they're up against a
- 33:11buzz saw in that division. If they can't stay, if one of
- 33:14those two guys on the offense gets hurt, they got nothing.
- 33:17I, I, I think that's. We're not talking about if
- 33:19somebody's getting hurt, we're talking about if they stay
- 33:21healthy. But when you have no death and
- 33:23you have nothing across the roster, it gets laid early as to
- 33:27get into some Yogi isms, I guess you know what I mean?
- 33:30Like it's, it's just not something that is going to work
- 33:34in this. They have a better chance than
- 33:36San Francisco, buddy. No way.
- 33:38Yeah, they do. Not even close.
- 33:40Yes they do. No way.
- 33:41Yes, they. Do talent level on the two teams
- 33:42is not even close OK outside of Max cross?
- 33:44I'll remember, you said. That and I.
- 33:46Remember you said that. Bowers.
- 33:48I'll remember, you said. That Miss Geno Smith.
- 33:49I remember you said that. Errol So I think what your
- 33:53punishment is when I win the JSN bet is you have to be nice and
- 33:57complimentary about the New York Football Giants for an entire
- 34:00episode. I've been complimentary with the
- 34:04Giants with Jackson Tart. Real complimentary of the
- 34:07Jackson tart. True I am.
- 34:09Do you like Jackson? I do like Jackson.
- 34:10He's not going to be playing probably till the late in the
- 34:12season. Don't worry, you're not going to
- 34:15win. So you're not going to win that
- 34:17that. I think.
- 34:18I think. I'm good.
- 34:19A good call on the bet by Zach. He has to wear a Travis Hunter
- 34:22jersey. Oh, Travis Hunter.
- 34:24Jersey would be Zach got a boy. I like it.
- 34:28Nice job, Zach. Travis Hunter Jersey and you've
- 34:31got it. Sorry, you have what?
- 34:33What was it? Gizmo Was the name of the the
- 34:36Gizmo, the thing in the movie The Gremlin.
- 34:39Gizmo I'll wear, I'll wear a Gremlin jersey.
- 34:42But you know what you're going to have to wear if, if
- 34:45something, if I win, if I win, you got to wear your you got to
- 34:51wear Speedy's dirty underwear on your head for the show.
- 34:54How is that equal? I'm gonna How would that be?
- 34:56That's you want me to wear a Kremlin?
- 34:58Jersey that I have the longer shots odds on the bed and you
- 35:02want me to do a way grocer thing as the I have to seniors.
- 35:06I'll send. I'll send speed.
- 35:07What kind of gerrymandering and. You got to wear, you got to wear
- 35:11that on his. You got to wear that on your
- 35:12head. If I'm going to have to wear a
- 35:14stupid Travis Hunter jersey, no, that's and you know what?
- 35:18I'm remotely equal and I'm getting a Gremlin jersey.
- 35:20By the way, I'm going to get a Travis Hunter.
- 35:22Jersey. It's going to say Gremlin on the
- 35:24back of it. I'm getting it made, by the way.
- 35:26So I'm just letting you guys know that I I'm purposely going
- 35:30to get something like that. Made would you do an entire show
- 35:32in like a gremlin mask? Yeah, why not?
- 35:36That would be funny. I could do it.
- 35:38Enjoy that, all right. But a female gremlin?
- 35:40Here's the bet. I think there's a female.
- 35:42One, if I lose, I got to wear a Travis Hunter jersey on the
- 35:45show, which I I despise the idiot.
- 35:48If you lose, you got to wear Speedy's dirty underwear on your
- 35:51head for the whole show. I'm not wearing dirty underwear.
- 35:53That's the best my head. That's not a realistic thing,
- 35:56that. I'm going to send it to you.
- 35:57Yeah, it is. You're.
- 35:58Speedy had to do it. First off, you always want
- 36:01something. They peep.
- 36:01That's whatever on our show. That's right.
- 36:05You want to make a bet? That's fair.
- 36:07Let's go. Let's.
- 36:08Move on. No, it's.
- 36:09Not about it. Think about it, Think about it.
- 36:11All right. Let's get in.
- 36:12Let's get into the Chargers. Chargers Jim Harbaugh not
- 36:16punished by the NFL for anything that happened with the Michigan
- 36:19scandal fallout 10 year show clause banned from college
- 36:22football. Not that it matters.
- 36:24They lost Rashawn Slater in the beginning of the preseason for
- 36:29the season, 1 of the better offensive tackles, left tackles
- 36:33in the game. They had just given him a huge
- 36:35contract and he goes down for the year.
- 36:37It's a terrible injury. I think it's patellar tendon.
- 36:38Yeah, as well You may not come back from at the same.
- 36:43That's what ended Victor Cruz's effectiveness in the league.
- 36:46That's a bad injury. I think offensive line, you
- 36:48might be able to come back a little bit more than a skill
- 36:49position, but that's tough. That hurts, too.
- 36:52They say that's like the most painful tendons in the need to
- 36:54tear. So sucks for him.
- 36:57They still got Joe Waldo and they still have good line.
- 37:00They have a coach that wants to run the ball and they drafted
- 37:03Omarion Hampton in the first round to do that running.
- 37:08That's a really exciting back. He was the most exciting back
- 37:11besides not named Genti coming out in the draft.
- 37:14You know what he wants to do. They brought Keenan Allen back.
- 37:16Ladd Mcconkey had a breakout first breakout year last year in
- 37:20the second round. They people expect huge things.
- 37:23I think he's being overdrafted in fantasy because of that, but
- 37:25he is one of the league young, young talents in the league
- 37:29right now. And you know, they're they're
- 37:32solid around, you know, around the ball defensively.
- 37:35And they still have probably the most gifted, you know, arm
- 37:39talent, size, speed quarterback that we've seen in the league
- 37:44since Josh Allen with Justin Herbert.
- 37:46If Herbert can play up to his talents, this team could be
- 37:51really scary. I, I think this team could be
- 37:56really, really good or really, really, really bad.
- 37:58I, I'm interested to see how this team works on the offensive
- 38:02side of the ball. They added Najee Harris, they
- 38:05added Makai Becton and obviously Hampton.
- 38:08They have a tremendous amount of offensively gifted players on
- 38:12this roster, Mike Williams, Dante Jackson defensively and
- 38:17obviously what what this team could do, they could be very
- 38:20explosive and this defense, they they could do a lot of things
- 38:23defensively with the ball and they have Justin Herbert.
- 38:26I think Justin Herbert is one of the more underrated quarterbacks
- 38:30in the league. I think people forget how great
- 38:31he is. He can make plays in the open
- 38:33field. She can use his legs.
- 38:35If he could stay healthy. He's had a problem over the last
- 38:37two years and staying healthy for a full season.
- 38:39If he stays healthy with the weapons that they have on the
- 38:43offensive side of the ball. I I think that even losing a guy
- 38:46like Slater, you a Eddie McKay backed into the offensive on the
- 38:50offensive line, you can shift Makai Becton on the left side as
- 38:54a left guard or even at the right guard.
- 38:56I think they can absolutely clean up certain spots on this
- 38:59line where they can play without Slater.
- 39:01I think they're going to be explosive offensively.
- 39:04The questions really to me is how this defense is going to
- 39:07work and a full season if they can stay healthy and they get
- 39:11some secondary help because Asante Samuel is, is a key loss
- 39:15this offseason. I'm interested to see what
- 39:18they're going to do offense, defense all season long.
- 39:21So it's the defense what I'm worried about, not the offensive
- 39:23side of the ball. Yeah, I'm curious on that too,
- 39:25because I mentioned last year they had probably the biggest
- 39:28defensive turnaround I ever saw because they had the worst
- 39:30defense past defense wise in NFL history the year before.
- 39:33And they were one of the worst overall defense we ever seen.
- 39:35And last year they were top ten in a lot of categories.
- 39:37They drafted very well in their secondary.
- 39:40When you when you look at TAR Eve still was a fifth round
- 39:42pick, one of the better young corners in the league.
- 39:45A lot of good pieces with that. Those safeties led by Derwin
- 39:47James and they still got Khalil Mack there too and some good
- 39:49linebackers. But offensively is going to be
- 39:51interesting to see. You mentioned Naji Harris, JK
- 39:54Dobbins came back from a lot worse and had a really Goodyear
- 39:56last year. So it's definitely interesting.
- 39:58I'm a little more worried with the receiver position if they
- 40:00can get any level consistency outside of Mcconkey.
- 40:02That's the only thing that concerns me in the offense.
- 40:04But the defense just seems like a natural regression for them.
- 40:06So they're kind of like a fringe contender to kind of like a nine
- 40:09win team like they were last year.
- 40:10But I don't know if they're going to take the big leap
- 40:12without. It's all about Justin.
- 40:13Justin Herbert, if he could stay healthy, they could be a
- 40:16borderline playoff team. He is the key piece to their
- 40:18offense and where this team goes.
- 40:20This year. They got a weapon that's that
- 40:22good. They could be very, very
- 40:23dangerous. I disagree.
- 40:26The Weapons Jim Harbaugh This When was the last time Jim
- 40:29Harbaugh had a season where he had less than ten wins?
- 40:32His last year were at the 49ers I guess.
- 40:35The Larry last year when he got into a fight and before that, I
- 40:38don't think he had a single season where he was that, yeah.
- 40:40They came out of nowhere. Because this guy, this guy knows
- 40:43how to coach guys up. You just named a bunch of late
- 40:46round picks speedy. That's coaching.
- 40:49If you can get those guys up to speed, that's coaching.
- 40:53He is elite. And Jesse Minter might be one of
- 40:55the best young coaches because guess who brought him up?
- 40:58It was Harbaugh. When you have elite coaches,
- 41:01elite teachers, guys develop. And it's just like those
- 41:04Belichick teams. Back when Belichick was going
- 41:06really good, they got better as the season went on because he
- 41:10made them better football players.
- 41:11That always happens with Harbaugh teams.
- 41:14I don't care if their talent's a little bit less than some of
- 41:15their competition. They're going to win 10 games
- 41:18because Harbaugh will not let them not win 10 games.
- 41:21That's how I feel about it. Let's get to the Broncos and
- 41:23Sean Paden. Sean Paden, you know, back in
- 41:26the league after a long, you know, layoff leaving the Saints
- 41:29gets on TV. You know, people are I don't
- 41:32know what we're going to see. And all of a sudden, you know,
- 41:35they draft Bo Nicks. Everyone was saying he was going
- 41:37to be a second round pick and well and behold, Bo Nicks pretty
- 41:40good would have been if it wasn't for Jaden Daniels, he
- 41:43would have been offensive rookie of the year.
- 41:45And he's a mobile quarterback and he's a lot more accurate
- 41:48than people thought and he's got a lot of guts and they gave
- 41:51Portland Sutton some money. They're probably a middling
- 41:55offense, but look at that defense.
- 41:58That defense has a defensive player of the year on it.
- 42:00Patrick's are 10. I I would say they're a top
- 42:03five, if not top three defense coming into this season.
- 42:07You got Benito, got him a 2 arrow.
- 42:09I mean, I'm looking at it. I got a couple of lists open.
- 42:12I think I this list has them at six, which I think is the lowest
- 42:15I've seen them at. They've Got Talent up and down.
- 42:19That defense. Drake Lee, Greenlaw and Hufanga
- 42:22from the 49ers came over. They drafted Jade Baron from
- 42:27Texas, who is I thought the steal.
- 42:30They could be just unstoppable. Now you have like the nickel guy
- 42:34that's going to, you know, move around the field.
- 42:36You almost got like a honey badger type of player with
- 42:39Baron. Now that they they've got toys
- 42:42on defense and you got a coach who likes offense and now you
- 42:47have best of both worlds. This team could be not just
- 42:50good, they could be great. It really could be a great team.
- 42:53Bonex that. That's the most important piece
- 42:55to this team. And offensively he has got to
- 42:58keep growing as the star quarterback that we believe and
- 43:01I believe he's going to be. He's the key piece.
- 43:04Adding Evan Ingram, adding Hafonga and Dre Greenlock.
- 43:08Trade these two guys once they've been to Super Bowls and
- 43:12who Fanga is a guy that before he got hurt last year was one of
- 43:16the best safeties in the league's very, very explosive.
- 43:18You can use them in many different ways and defensive
- 43:20side of the ball, you can move him in a nickel.
- 43:22You could do so many things with him.
- 43:24He could defend the best wide receiver in the league, or you
- 43:28could put him in the middle and try to stop a tight end.
- 43:30He is so explosive and they can do so many things offensively.
- 43:34Patrick Sir Tan is one of the best corners, if not the best
- 43:37corner in the league. He was defensive player of the
- 43:39year and and they and again, they they're going to be able to
- 43:42run the ball. They're going to be able to do
- 43:43things offensively. The question is, is Cortland
- 43:46Sutton going to earn his money? Got a lot of money in the
- 43:49offseason. I want to see him even put up
- 43:51bigger numbers and better numbers.
- 43:53He's going to have to help out. The question is who's their
- 43:55number two guy? That's the question.
- 43:57I'm still wondering where the Broncos are going to get that
- 43:59number 2 wide receiving kind of numbers as far as the points are
- 44:04concerned. We know what Sutton is and we
- 44:07know what they could do on the running side of the ball.
- 44:09And this is a very underrated offensive line in football, one
- 44:12of the better, more underrated offensive lines, very well put
- 44:15together by one of the best coaches in and Sean Payton.
- 44:17So it's Bo Nicks. The most important part of this
- 44:21team in this success is what Bo Nicks is going to do in his
- 44:24second year as an NFL player. I, I think he's going to be
- 44:27sensational. I think he's going to be up for
- 44:28an MVP this year. Believe it.
- 44:30I I really think he's going to be special.
- 44:33Yeah, this is definitely one of the most underrated offensive
- 44:35lines. It's weird to think like what
- 44:36when Russell Wilson his first year there, they were not very
- 44:38good at all. They were top ten the following
- 44:40year when Wilson obviously was almost benched.
- 44:42And then last year they were top five and and defensively they
- 44:46are definitely going to be a top three defensive football.
- 44:48This is a a galore pass rush, Funga.
- 44:50Yeah, Funga, bring him. You're right.
- 44:52Definitely one of the best safeties in the league when he's
- 44:55healthy. And when we had a Lance on the
- 44:57show last time, he was mentioning they had to beef up
- 44:59the middle of the field on their defense, and they did that with
- 45:01Green law. They got a lot of really good
- 45:03draft picks. Fish.
- 45:04You mentioned Baron being a really good option for them too,
- 45:07and they have depth with their pass rusher too.
- 45:09Jonathan Cooper, Jonah Ellis also very good as well.
- 45:11You're right, the second receiver kind of thing does
- 45:13concern me a little. Bit a lot of.
- 45:15Teams, but I think they that could be a trade deadline piece
- 45:18that that could be something that comes later in the season.
- 45:19Veteran receivers get moved all the time running game.
- 45:22I wasn't crazy about the prospect with RJ Harvey, but I
- 45:24trust Sean Payton to make. Spent a lot of money this
- 45:26offseason, spent a lot of money this offseason.
- 45:29They also. Bring in.
- 45:29Kufanga. Yes, Kufanga, yes, JK Dobbins.
- 45:33Well, I was just talking about what the charges, well, rebirth
- 45:35over there and now with the Broncos, even a better offensive
- 45:37line that's good. This is this is going to be the
- 45:39biggest threat to the big three of the Ravens, Chiefs and Bills
- 45:42in the AFC. This is the biggest threat to
- 45:43them by far. Yeah, I know I agree like the JK
- 45:46Dobbin, like sometimes change of scenery is a good thing.
- 45:49My Carter's a huge Broncos fan. So I, I I get the, I get the
- 45:54Broncos back ends from from Carter.
- 45:57So he's excited about the team. So I, I think there's I think Bo
- 46:00Nicks is is huge. He's is going to understand the
- 46:04tempo of the game a little bit better than than what he did his
- 46:07his. I was going to say freshman year
- 46:09because it. Sort of feels like it was his
- 46:10freshman. Year kind of what it is, yeah.
- 46:12Really played six years in college.
- 46:15Yeah, true. So I mean, you know, they're
- 46:17they're married with kids going in going into their their rookie
- 46:20years anymore. But yeah, I think he has the
- 46:23opportunity to to be great. I think there needs to be a
- 46:26couple pieces like said at the at the trade deadline get get
- 46:29somebody that's been there before that knows what they're
- 46:32doing defensive wise. I think they're great.
- 46:34And we'll have to, as this gets going, we'll have to bring
- 46:37Carter on so he can he can pump up his Broncos because he sure
- 46:41has a lot to say when it comes to fantasy.
- 46:43He'll just send me all the stuff.
- 46:44I'm like, all right, dude, I get it.
- 46:45You're a Broncos fan. How he became a Broncos fan, I
- 46:47have no idea, but he is. That might be the only defense
- 46:51that I take a shot at a little before the end of the draft.
- 46:55You know those a lot of people like, oh, I'm going to take a
- 46:57defense early. I think that's stupid.
- 46:58But that team, that team might be stealing the ball a lot.
- 47:02And then there's save the best for last, Darrell.
- 47:05Yes, the Swifties themself, the Kansas City Chiefs, let's just
- 47:12go over what they did this offseason.
- 47:13They get Rashi Rice back from injury and get to play him next
- 47:17to Xavier Worthy. They drafted Josh, Josh Simmons
- 47:21from Ohio State, who fell in the first round with injury
- 47:23concerns. Turns out he's healthy and he's
- 47:26their starting left tackle. That's a huge upgrade on the
- 47:29line for them. Creed Humphrey at center, Trey
- 47:31Smith at guard, the paid Trey Smith.
- 47:33It's not a bad offensive line, not by any stretch of the
- 47:36imagination. Pacheco's healthy and you would
- 47:39imagine still got Kareem Hunt some for some reason.
- 47:42Elijah Mitchell, they from the 49ers a couple years ago is is
- 47:46on that depth chart as well. And the defense still got Chris
- 47:49Jones, still got Carloftis, still got Trent Mcduffie and a
- 47:54bunch of guys I don't know, Bolton, Chanel up and down guys
- 48:00a little bit. But they have Andy Reid and they
- 48:04have Specs. This team was almost unstoppable
- 48:07in the regular season last year. Please fell short in the Super
- 48:10Bowl, but let's face it, they were didn't lose.
- 48:13No, because the referees were giving him every single.
- 48:16Game to the end. Yeah, they gave him every single
- 48:18game to win. They will again.
- 48:20I think they will again. No, I I the whole point of the
- 48:23NFL. What if they get engaged?
- 48:25The NFL wanted them to win three games in a row, 3 championships
- 48:29in a row. They would have been the first
- 48:30team to ever do that. They were trying to get him
- 48:32there and and they did. They got there and they
- 48:34absolutely choked against the better team.
- 48:37Patrick Mahomes is sensational. Travis Kelsey is old.
- 48:39Chris Jones is old. This team is getting old.
- 48:42Now, he said the offensive line's better.
- 48:44Yeah. If they stay healthy, they have
- 48:46no depth whatsoever. So if somebody goes down, good
- 48:49luck. And Patrick Mahomes last year
- 48:52was running for dear life, he added.
- 48:54You lost Tony in in the offseason.
- 48:56He goes to Chicago. I mean, there's a lot of
- 48:58questions with this team offensively.
- 49:00Where are they going to get that secondary offensive option?
- 49:03Rice is great. Who's your other guy?
- 49:05And Rice, by the way, is coming off that offseason, so there's
- 49:09there's a lot of questions to their offensive side of the
- 49:12polls. Your boy Xavier worthies their
- 49:14other guys. Yeah, good luck.
- 49:15What about Hollywood Brown? And how about third receiver?
- 49:18How about the running game that Hollywood brown?
- 49:20That's another joke. I please, I look, the question
- 49:24is, is where they getting the running game from?
- 49:26Oh, are they going to trust in cream hunt?
- 49:28Are they going to trust in Pacheco?
- 49:30Pacheco I that's there's a lot of questions to this team now
- 49:33they have Patrick Mahomes, they have Andy Reid, they have spags,
- 49:37they have Chris Jones. They have guys that have won.
- 49:40The defense will be OK. The front 7 is going to be OK.
- 49:42The secondary, they've got one guy, Mcduffie.
- 49:45Everybody else, I don't know. I, I, there's a lot of questions
- 49:49to this secondary too. I'm going to tell you this right
- 49:51now, Kansas City is not winning this division this year.
- 49:54No matter what happens, It's it's the Broncos division to
- 49:58lose. I think this is the Broncos
- 50:00division. Kansas City, for the first time
- 50:02is going to be a wild card team in it.
- 50:05In what? How long has it been since
- 50:07they've been a wild card team? It's been a long time, no?
- 50:09It's been at least the Broncos last Super Bowl I believe.
- 50:11Yeah, it's been a long time. I want to say I'm looking at
- 50:14them now. I want to say it's the 2013
- 50:16season when they well. The Broncos won the Super Bowl.
- 50:18They were the ones states that would have been.
- 50:20Right. Yeah, 1415.
- 50:21I'm pretty sure that was the. Comeback game when the Colts
- 50:23ended up coming back. On the Chief, I think losing
- 50:26Slater is going to hurt the charges to take over second
- 50:29place in this division. I think it's Broncos, I think
- 50:33it's Kansas City Chargers and then the Raiders.
- 50:37That's where I. Think.
- 50:41They're a wild card team this year, 100%.
- 50:44There's no way they're beating and winning that division over
- 50:47the Broncos, who, by the way, kick the living, you know what,
- 50:49out of the Kansas City Chiefs in both those games this this past
- 50:53year, I mean, last past year, even though Kansas City winded
- 50:57up winning, what was one of those?
- 50:58They won one, yes, Broncos beat their backups at the end of.
- 51:01The game and and the Broncos should have won that game.
- 51:03They should have won both. I was at the end of the year,
- 51:05right? Yeah.
- 51:06Right, she's already locked the one.
- 51:07Seat up. So I think the Broncos are a
- 51:10better team this year and I think they're going to win and
- 51:12and that why they'll probably be the second or third wild card
- 51:15team. I don't even think they're
- 51:16they're the second best wild card team in the AFC.
- 51:20So there's a lot of good Steve's in the NCI expect, I expect
- 51:24Baltimore to be up there. I expect the Bengals a question
- 51:27if Trey Hendrickson plays. If they have Trey Hendrickson,
- 51:29they're going to be very offensively minded and very
- 51:32good. I Baltimore's going to be good.
- 51:35The Bills are going to be good. Expect the Patriots to put up
- 51:38some big numbers this year. The defense is going to be a lot
- 51:40better than people think they're going to be with Ray Ball and
- 51:44and again, we don't know what some of these teams are going to
- 51:47be in the AFC. So the Broncos are winning that
- 51:50division 100%. I I could definitely see it
- 51:53where a scenario where they're both 1212 and 13 win ties
- 51:56because the Broncos definitely have the talent advantage.
- 51:58I think the Chiefs I think still have a lot of good talent on
- 52:00their defense. I like their front 7 a lot.
- 52:01Fish, you mentioned Chenal, I think he really took a big leap
- 52:03in year 2. I like Drew Tranquil as well and
- 52:06I like the offseason move bringing Christian Fulton.
- 52:07You mentioned Errol, they lacked an outside corner outside of
- 52:10Mcduffie last year and I think that was a thing that a lot of
- 52:12teams took advantage of. I think Fulton will definitely
- 52:15help that case a little more. I like some of their youngsters
- 52:17in the slot. Running game is questionable,
- 52:19but like I was saying with the Broncos, with veteran wide
- 52:21receivers, they'll probably be a veteran running back they scope
- 52:23out on the market to try to help them out.
- 52:25I think they're going wide receiver.
- 52:26They could the trade deadline. I expect them to go after Tyree
- 52:29Kill. He will become available.
- 52:31Remember I said that Tyree Kill will become available from Miami
- 52:35at the trade deadline and I can see Kansas City making a run.
- 52:38For him now, the ultimate X Factor, I think to maybe if the
- 52:40Broncos have the better chance of winning the division, how
- 52:42long Rice will be suspended for because it seems like he's going
- 52:44to be suspended in the game season.
- 52:46They said if he gets eight games, I think the Broncos do
- 52:48win the division. If he only gets like 4, Kansas
- 52:50City probably still squeaks in or they just finished in a tie.
- 52:52But I think both teams make the playoffs either way.
- 52:54One of which will be the winning division, the other one will be
- 52:56the first wild card. Yeah, hopefully we can steal
- 53:00some of their mojo and win in these games because the Huskers
- 53:04play there on Thursday this week.
- 53:06They got they got Cincinnati the old the.
- 53:09Kelsey doesn't bet on them. They're.
- 53:11Going to be there. Your Huskers are in trouble.
- 53:13W already picked Cincinnati. Oh, did he?
- 53:17Yeah. Well, damn it.
- 53:19So I can't put bet against the Chiefs to like get to the
- 53:22playoffs. I think that would be crazy.
- 53:24You know, they're, I think they're playoffs.
- 53:26Too. No, they're making the plays.
- 53:27I agree they're making the plays.
- 53:29But knowing how, knowing how to win too helps like being in the
- 53:33situation too is is a big factor.
- 53:35Granted, there were some some questionables of them wanting to
- 53:39get there, but you know, just being in the situation and and
- 53:43knowing the moments not too big for those guys.
- 53:45So I think it's it's something that you can't put a value on of
- 53:50them knowing and understanding. It they have the best coach in
- 53:53football and as long as he's there, he's going to give you
- 53:56the best chance to win. But I, I, I don't know if
- 53:59they're going to have enough against the better teams in the
- 54:02AFCI think the Buffalo Bills are going to be great.
- 54:04Baltimore is going to be great again, the Broncos.
- 54:07If I, I look at some of these rosters this year, I think a lot
- 54:10of teams are going to be much better.
- 54:12And like I said, IA lot of people question the Patriots.
- 54:15I think the Patriots, I know people think I'm nuts.
- 54:17The Patriots are going to be a lot better this year than you
- 54:19think. I I like their running game and
- 54:21I like I like their defensive weight set up and frabos a great
- 54:24defensive mind. So I think they're going to be a
- 54:27lot better than people think they're going to be.
- 54:28And and and the Pittsburgh Steelers, they're going to be
- 54:31the biggest busts in the AFC because I think Aaron Aaron
- 54:34Rodgers is going to ruin that team.
- 54:36I really do think that. And DK Metcalf.
- 54:38Could you imagine those two idiots?
- 54:41You want to talk about those guys on Wednesday, you can do
- 54:43the North on Wednesday. Let's do that.
- 54:44All right, we'll do the North on Wednesday and continue our NFL
- 54:48preview. All right, let's get into it.
- 54:51Tic Tac No Tick tick. Morris.
- 54:56Right in the butt. We get the prizes.
- 54:59Cheat because they're stolen. No.
- 55:03No, no, no, no, no. Yum Yum.
- 55:13All right, So as you enjoy this amazing picture of me, yes.
- 55:17I want her melons. Oh God.
- 55:20Use that one in a while interest you could come on in on camera
- 55:24and play along. Breaking news I need we got.
- 55:26Goody. And we got goody.
- 55:29There we go. We got a whole cast to take you
- 55:33down tonight, Speedy. Let's get going on Tic Tac.
- 55:37All right, we're starting some college football this time.
- 55:39Fish, I think you mentioned this in your sports minute last week,
- 55:42the Auburn retiring Cam Newton's Jersey.
- 55:44He's one of three, three quarterbacks that passed for
- 55:483000 yards and rushed for 1000 yards in a college football
- 55:51season. Name the other two.
- 55:55Johnny Manziel. 3000 passing. 1000 Rushing.
- 55:58Yes. Nope, it is not Johnny Manziel.
- 56:01Tim Tebow. Not Tim Tebow.
- 56:03What was it you said 3/3? 1000 passing. 1000 Rushing.
- 56:08Is one of them Lamar Jackson? Lamar.
- 56:10Jackson is 1. Oh wow, good job, another
- 56:12answer. Cam Newton.
- 56:14RG, he said. Well.
- 56:15No, Cam Newton, the question Cam.
- 56:16Newton was what it was based off of, not RG.
- 56:19Good job. Goody.
- 56:20Whoever said RG3, it's not RG. 3.
- 56:22I said. RG3.
- 56:23I mean, was it Jaden Dale Daniels?
- 56:25Nope. OK.
- 56:29Pass for 3000. Then I would, I mean, I can't go
- 56:32again, but I mean, there's a guy who what could that be?
- 56:37They didn't really like that many puppies when.
- 56:38He, Michael. Vick, I was going to say Mike.
- 56:40Vick, I don't know if it's too. Obvious it's not Michael Vick.
- 56:43He. Didn't throw for enough I guess.
- 56:46Did not throw for enough. I think his highest was 2400 I
- 56:49believe. That that might be unfounded
- 56:54that he didn't like puppies. It might have been older dogs he
- 56:56had issues with. You guys are sick.
- 57:00So it's well, he liked him when they made him.
- 57:02Run over it, he's got an over. That so Aaron Aaron has a guest
- 57:05left and. I think we.
- 57:10And Nathan all we got to get a guess, so we're going to start
- 57:11the clock. Because yeah, I'm going to say
- 57:13Patrick Mahomes. Trevor.
- 57:16Lawrence No, it was Vince Young, was the answer.
- 57:20Vinsanity. Oh wow.
- 57:22Vince Young. When he went to the when he went
- 57:23to the national championship, I remember that.
- 57:25That year? Yep, 2006.
- 57:27He was unstoppable. All right, Speedy, you out the
- 57:30middle. Of course.
- 57:32All right, so we'll continue on with some baseball this time.
- 57:34Obviously we've been tracking Cal Rally and his home run now
- 57:38breaking the record finally. So obviously A Rod and Ken
- 57:40Griffey junior have had 40 Homer seasons with the Seattle
- 57:43Mariners. Name one of the other two guys
- 57:45that have had that. 40 home run seasons with the Mariners.
- 57:50Yeah, not a Rod or Ken Griffey anyone of the other two.
- 57:54Nelson Cruz. Yep.
- 57:56Goody, got it. It's not Edgar.
- 57:59I don't. Think no no goody, got it.
- 58:00You only need one of the two this time.
- 58:02All right. We only need it was the other
- 58:04one. J Buener, J.
- 58:05Buener is the other one, so you. Got both.
- 58:07Anyway there? You go all right, that's
- 58:09goodies, though, so we get to put up the goody LSU jersey
- 58:15graphic that we haven't used in a while Goody the king where we
- 58:19going the. King.
- 58:21Where is the king going? Top left.
- 58:24Top left for the king. Yeah, there.
- 58:26You go all right, Speedy next. Question so we're talking about
- 58:29the Brian Robinson traded the 49ers earlier so that means
- 58:31Austin Eckler now the lead back over there who had 993 receiving
- 58:35yards in July 19, which is sixth all time for running backs.
- 58:38So the two guys ahead of him are both were both previously or now
- 58:42with the 49ers name those two Christian McCaffrey.
- 58:46McCaffrey is the the current one, yes.
- 58:48Let's see if you can get the. Pass Frank Gore?
- 58:51Nope. So.
- 58:54Speedy, you cut out a little bit.
- 58:55Can you repeat the? So both both guys above him,
- 59:00Tommy got the modern warning. Christian McCaffrey.
- 59:01There's another one that is the single season was fourth all
- 59:05time in the single season for receiving yards for a running
- 59:08back. So McCaffrey was.
- 59:09Ricky Waters? Nope, not Ricky Waters.
- 59:13Man. It's not a Raheem monster was
- 59:14it? Feel like this guy played in the
- 59:1890s. I think I know who it is and I
- 59:21already blew my guess. It's going to be a random name.
- 59:24I feel like Jake just got off a Bender with his hair right now.
- 59:29I'll get I'll get a cut tomorrow job.
- 59:32I have a wedding this weekend to go to so I was just waiting
- 59:35Biden my time. So yeah, it looks a little bit
- 59:38it's like that every week, though.
- 59:39So I mean he's in college bro. He's in college.
- 59:43No, I just graduated May I should be getting my life
- 59:47together but enjoying myself a little.
- 59:50I'm still trying to figure out my life dude.
- 59:52So was it, was it, was it in the 80s or current?
- 59:57You're not current. It's.
- 59:58Receiving running backs. Receiving was not in the 80s so
- 1:00:01it would have to be more recent, yeah.
- 1:00:05I don't know, dude. I'm out on this one.
- 1:00:08What do you got, Arrow? You're over there.
- 1:00:10Quiet. I'm thinking about the running
- 1:00:13backs that they had over there with the 49ers recently.
- 1:00:16I don't know. It's going to be one of those
- 1:00:18that we're going to be kicking ourselves.
- 1:00:20I'm trying, I'm thinking, I'm trying to think right now.
- 1:00:23I've already said Frank Gore. It's not Frank.
- 1:00:25Gore catch a lot. No, I wasn't.
- 1:00:27Frank Gore. Yeah, Jabba did.
- 1:00:28Frank Gore. It wasn't Frank Gore.
- 1:00:31I'm just trying to think. I said Ricky Waters.
- 1:00:33That's a 90s. One Ricky Waters is interesting.
- 1:00:36Ricky Waters is interesting. He was nice, remember?
- 1:00:38Eagles, I remember him just catching a lot of screen pass.
- 1:00:41All right, let's move on, Speedy.
- 1:00:43It was Roger Craig in 1980. Roger Craig.
- 1:00:47Even further back. I almost fell I.
- 1:00:49Literally was like I was gonna go old school like.
- 1:00:52I was in 16 in 1985. I remember the catch with Joe
- 1:00:55Montana, so that was something I thought I thought about.
- 1:00:59Yeah, so wait, so how many receiving?
- 1:01:011016 a 1016 in 1985. That's crazy and all right,
- 1:01:07where you going and. He did it on 92 catches.
- 1:01:09Let's go bottom left. He was on King of the hill.
- 1:01:13He was one of my best receiving. And you forgot about him for
- 1:01:16this stuff. All right, let's go back to some
- 1:01:19college football. So Jackson Dart, 6th last last
- 1:01:24year was sixth in a single season in SEC passing yards.
- 1:01:27Joe Burr, obviously with the big year he had in 20/19, it was #1
- 1:01:30all time. Which NFL starter currently on a
- 1:01:34on a starting on an NFL team right now is was #2?
- 1:01:36What was that again? So SEC quarterbacks Joe Burrow
- 1:01:40was number one all time for a single season with his Heisman
- 1:01:44year in 2019. Jackson Dart was #6 Which
- 1:01:46current NFL starting quarterback is number 2?
- 1:01:51SEC. And that's for For what metric?
- 1:01:54A single season passing yards. Didn't J.
- 1:01:57Passing yards. Did the they have to be in
- 1:02:01conference SEC at the time like you couldn't be?
- 1:02:03He was playing for an SEC team at the time.
- 1:02:05You said he's a starter now. Current NFL starter?
- 1:02:08Yes. Goody, said Jayden Daniels.
- 1:02:10It is not Jayden Daniels. Because he wanted to say
- 1:02:13something with LSU. You're not wrong, yeah.
- 1:02:22All right, so SEC Oh. So.
- 1:02:29Anybody from boys? I was.
- 1:02:31Just going to say Alabama. I was like.
- 1:02:34I mean, there's the two of them. I'm going to.
- 1:02:39I'm going to take a guess. Jalen Hurts.
- 1:02:41Nope. Is it his teammate Tua?
- 1:02:45Nope. Wow SEC Is this a trick
- 1:02:56question? Did you say they they were in
- 1:03:02the SEC? It wasn't like somebody.
- 1:03:04They were an Seca quarterback for an SEC team that is
- 1:03:07currently an NFL starting quarterback.
- 1:03:10It's got to be somebody. From Alabama?
- 1:03:12No, I don't think it is someone from Alabama.
- 1:03:14I think it's going to be a random one.
- 1:03:16I'm going to say Matthew Stafford.
- 1:03:19Nope. He's on that list.
- 1:03:19He's got to be on that list, Speedy.
- 1:03:22Yeah, he was. I think he was 7th.
- 1:03:24I'm pretty. Sure.
- 1:03:25What about did? What's the dude that became like
- 1:03:27The Bachelor? Aaron Murray, or whatever his
- 1:03:29name was. Speedy is it?
- 1:03:30Good guess though. Is it?
- 1:03:32Speedy is it. Bryce Young It is.
- 1:03:34Bryce Young. Wow.
- 1:03:37Just trying to get you off of Alabama but forgot about the.
- 1:03:40I don't know what I think. And then Fish brought up
- 1:03:43Georgia. I was like, man, is it going to
- 1:03:44be one of those ones where he had like that?
- 1:03:46Aaron Murray was a good guess, but he's not a current NFL
- 1:03:48starter. Java like he wasn't very good
- 1:03:50college. I know I was going back, but I.
- 1:03:53Thought like it was more recent. I was like, there's definitely
- 1:03:55one more Bama guy that had a really Goodyear.
- 1:03:57All it was was the current NFL starter.
- 1:03:59You guys deviated away from Alabama too, too quickly.
- 1:04:02We got, we got Tommy, we got everyone playing.
- 1:04:05I don't have extra icons, so we'll just use extra nittens.
- 1:04:08We'll just give everyone. A nittens the board, the board
- 1:04:11wazers the better. All right, Jake locking him or
- 1:04:15you trying to like go for broke or something?
- 1:04:18No, we'll, we'll block him. All right, here we go.
- 1:04:20Next question, Speedy all. Right, we'll go back to we'll go
- 1:04:22back to baseball. So the catcher record for Cal
- 1:04:26Raleigh is the second lowest among a single position only to
- 1:04:30second base. Which active second baseman has
- 1:04:33the record with 45 home runs? Active second baseman has.
- 1:04:39Jose Alpuve? Nope.
- 1:04:41Oh, I guess he's playing outfield now.
- 1:04:46Cody, I wasn't going to dip pick on that as Vegas position
- 1:04:48qualification, but no, Jose Altuve, never.
- 1:04:50Hit 35 home runs. I feel like he might have popped
- 1:04:55off a couple years. How many home runs 45?
- 1:05:01Oh, Marcus Simeon. Yep.
- 1:05:02Java got. It.
- 1:05:04I was going to say Javier Bob an.
- 1:05:06Update about him being out for the season in our next sports
- 1:05:10minute. That's a shame.
- 1:05:12We might have to, we might have to skip, we might have to skip
- 1:05:15the sports minute. Oh, the sportsman is 3 minutes
- 1:05:20long. Jabba, we just won.
- 1:05:23Hell yeah. That's it.
- 1:05:26They are the victors of Tic Tac. No, once again.
- 1:05:32All right, Speedy. Almost had us.
- 1:05:34Speedy. Very, very close and Jake comes
- 1:05:36in with a clutch of Bryce Young and then Java coming through
- 1:05:39with Marcus Simeon. It's not Java, it is.
- 1:05:43Droba, droba, droba it's. Joba.
- 1:05:48Anyways, ladies and gentlemen, our next segment is a call to
- 1:05:52the pen. It's done.
- 1:05:54You can throw a strike on this pitch.
- 1:05:56It's not going to be my John. Feels like jello right now.
- 1:05:58Just get it over the plate. I want him to swing.
- 1:06:00Last time I did. That the guy hit one that hasn't
- 1:06:02landed yet. For a call to the pen.
- 1:06:05Suck my indo. All right, guys, welcome to a
- 1:06:09call to the. Go over.
- 1:06:13Some nicknames. So I got this little thing to
- 1:06:16read here for you. The Cincinnati Reds called up
- 1:06:18their 6 foot 6, almost £300 pitcher Zach Big Sugar Maxwell
- 1:06:25to the big leagues with his big 100 mile an hour fastball.
- 1:06:29And Big Sugar was electric, striking out five in his first
- 1:06:33two innings of work. It's got me thinking about the
- 1:06:35best and most appropriate nicknames out there.
- 1:06:39If you played sports growing up, you certainly used nicknames.
- 1:06:42Probably been and called a few, and may even have given someone
- 1:06:45a nickname along the way. When I was a kid, even just in
- 1:06:49professional sports, there was the Big Hurt, the Big Unit, the
- 1:06:52Crime Dog, the Mad Dog, and plenty more.
- 1:06:56Earlier tonight we spoke with Lindsay Berra, whose dad's real
- 1:06:58name was Lawrence, not Yogi, which he gained as a nickname
- 1:07:02playing ball as a kid in elite American Legion leagues.
- 1:07:06Well, some of these names are famous, some less so, but they
- 1:07:09all bring color to the game and turn a guy who throws or hits a
- 1:07:12ball into something a little more.
- 1:07:14But many of us fans never get to find out some of these more
- 1:07:17colorful nicknames. Luckily for us on Job in the
- 1:07:20Mouth, all we have to do is make a call to the pen and get the
- 1:07:23big right-hander up and ask him some of the best nickname he's
- 1:07:26been around in his career that are either underrated, maybe a
- 1:07:29little secretive, or simply just some his all time favorites.
- 1:07:33I got to go with one. This one is going to be a little
- 1:07:37bit obscure. Chris Britton, great dude, but
- 1:07:42we called him the Baby Rhino. One of my favorite stories.
- 1:07:44He's coming out in Anaheim and in Anaheim you run from
- 1:07:49basically what's the loading dock is good.
- 1:07:51Is that the best way to describe it?
- 1:07:53Come off it, but. It's like a big tunnel.
- 1:07:56Yeah, that's how it. Goes in and so you come out down
- 1:08:00the stairs and the Jumbotron's right there and as he ran in,
- 1:08:04they stopped the music and played Pour some sugar on me as
- 1:08:07he's running in. And it was, it was just
- 1:08:09fantastic. Probably my favorite obscure one
- 1:08:14just because I, I think he had he made more money that year.
- 1:08:18Goody and 7:00 and 7:00 because people kept getting hurt.
- 1:08:22So he'd go down for like 3 days, somebody get hurt and he'd get 7
- 1:08:25and again and you're like, Oh my gosh, this dude's back up and he
- 1:08:28would just get 7:00 and 7:00 every time.
- 1:08:30Everything else was kind of like based upon your name or
- 1:08:34something else. I mean, this makes my.
- 1:08:36That's the one that sticks. Out to me, I got a couple.
- 1:08:40One of them was Nick Whitgren. If you pull up a picture of Nick
- 1:08:44Whitgren real quick smiling, his nickname was Toothy.
- 1:08:50You'll see why here in a second if Captain Fish over here can
- 1:08:55pull it up. Nick, wait.
- 1:08:56I'm actually going to see him in this weekend.
- 1:08:59Yeah, you see that? Hold on.
- 1:09:01I'm going to make it bigger one. Second.
- 1:09:02Yeah, yeah, yeah, all. Right, here we go.
- 1:09:07Where are we at? But yeah, so anyways, when he
- 1:09:11pulls this up, you'll see why he was called Toosie.
- 1:09:14So. Oh.
- 1:09:18Special I I'm not. Sure, exactly what happened to
- 1:09:21your teeth. I'll let you lick my butt.
- 1:09:25To his tooth there buddy, he. He's got a shaved man bun with
- 1:09:31no like no front 2 teeth. Yeah, he's he's one of the
- 1:09:35nicest guys you'll ever meet. But yeah, so.
- 1:09:38Strong. Yeah.
- 1:09:39So that so that was that was one.
- 1:09:41And then we had, this isn't really like a great nickname,
- 1:09:46but we had two guys. We had Dan Otero, whose nickname
- 1:09:49was OT. And then we had Oliver Perez.
- 1:09:52His nickname was OP. And one of the games we were
- 1:09:55playing, Tito calls down to the Ducks that calls down.
- 1:09:59And how's them both going? Get OT and OP going.
- 1:10:04And so they're both warming up. Tito calls down.
- 1:10:08He says, all right, we had a, we had a lefty coming up and he
- 1:10:14says get, get OP like OPS in the game, Oliver Perez who was a
- 1:10:18lefty. So we had Oliver Perez, lefty
- 1:10:22Dan Otero as the righty and so in comes Trot and Dan Otero for
- 1:10:29OT and you can just see Tito's face on the mound.
- 1:10:33This was like kind of this was like kind of big news.
- 1:10:36Like they blew it up because I think I think he ended up
- 1:10:38getting a hit and ended up costing us the game or, or we
- 1:10:41might have came back. I can't to be completely honest,
- 1:10:43I can't remember, but everybody was dumbfounded that they didn't
- 1:10:46bring the lefty in to face the lefty and they brought the
- 1:10:48righty in. And so Tito's just on the mound
- 1:10:51like, you know, like, like, you know, and here comes Otero and
- 1:10:56he runs in and then next thing you know, he's out of the game
- 1:10:59and freaking whatever, whatever ended up whatever transpired
- 1:11:03during that inning, but it was it was a blunder.
- 1:11:07Goody, how many landmines did you step on?
- 1:11:12I stepped on AI stepped on a cub.
- 1:11:14I also contributed to a couple too.
- 1:11:16After some thought I would go over there and just steal some
- 1:11:18of Tito's chew and his bubble gum.
- 1:11:19He didn't really care. He was just I was like, yo, can
- 1:11:22I get Yeah, you're good. So yeah, he man, I got some Tito
- 1:11:27stories, man. Did you ever?
- 1:11:29Did you ever play him in cribbage?
- 1:11:31Yeah, but he, yeah, I play him in cribbage.
- 1:11:33Brian Shaw played a lot in cribbage.
- 1:11:35But he would he would like. Have you seen his car?
- 1:11:38You ever seen his car? That's called sex.
- 1:11:40Yeah, yeah, I'll keep that one close to the chest there, but he
- 1:11:45just spit wherever he wanted. He tastes himself.
- 1:11:49He spit wherever he wanted and his offers.
- 1:11:52You just roll his chair back. Pulled it out of my ass right on
- 1:11:54the floor. Guys are coming and clean it up
- 1:11:56every night. It is wild.
- 1:11:58You just made Greg Maddox was the same way in his car.
- 1:12:00He put a dip in on the way to golf course and just.
- 1:12:02Mad Dog. Oh, it's gross.
- 1:12:04I gave up the booty there. So Errol, I've always had a
- 1:12:07criticism of hockey nicknames and I always thought they were
- 1:12:10lame. It's just like, oh, Brooks, oh
- 1:12:13Brooksy or Smitty or just like the laziest nicknames.
- 1:12:19But I feel like Errol, you got some good ones when you were
- 1:12:22playing. Well, I there was a goalie on
- 1:12:24our team. His last name was Pecker.
- 1:12:26So I called him Peckerwood. You know he never.
- 1:12:30Knew the nickname giver outer is what you're saying.
- 1:12:32I, I, I used to, I, I, I dabble. I just was cursing at everybody
- 1:12:38on the on the on the rink. I don't I never used nicknames
- 1:12:41and a coach just used to call me Asshole.
- 1:12:43That's what he used to call me. So that was my nickname on the
- 1:12:46team. Hey Asshole.
- 1:12:48Was it earned though? No.
- 1:12:50Is it appropriate? He just wanted to call me and my
- 1:12:52father told him call me, call him an asshole.
- 1:12:54So, and that's what he used to do when I was doing when we were
- 1:13:00skating around or we were doing like open.
- 1:13:03Skate. No, it was an open skate
- 1:13:05dryland. No, no, no, it wasn't dryland.
- 1:13:08Suicides. Suicides.
- 1:13:11We're doing suicides up and down the ice.
- 1:13:13Bag skates. Dude, he So what what the coach
- 1:13:17used to do is he used to throw the he used to take money and he
- 1:13:20would throw it on the ice. Now, anybody who knows anything
- 1:13:23about skating is you throw, you know, metal on on the ice, you
- 1:13:27got to be careful because if you hit the metal and the skates,
- 1:13:29the blades hit it, you're flying on the ground.
- 1:13:32So what he would do is he would throw them on the ground, tax
- 1:13:35and everything like that. And he would tell us to skate
- 1:13:37around it. So what I would do, what I would
- 1:13:39do with the goalies is I would tell the goalies to come to the
- 1:13:43side and push the tax to the middle of the ice.
- 1:13:46And I'd get the coach to I would, I would push the coach to
- 1:13:49the middle of the ice and try to fucking have him fall on his
- 1:13:51ass. So the tax, yeah.
- 1:13:53So the tax go into his ass. So, so the goal police would
- 1:13:57push it to the side because they would, you know, they would sit
- 1:13:59on the sides while the players would try to skate through it.
- 1:14:01So the, I would tell the coaches that, OK, if we're going to do
- 1:14:05it, you do it. And what I would do is when they
- 1:14:07would go, when they would go to the ice, I would try to get them
- 1:14:09on the ground so that they'd fall on the ice or, or, and, and
- 1:14:12the, the taxico on their asses and stuff like that.
- 1:14:15So I they used to call me the asshole on the ice because I
- 1:14:18would do stupid things on the ice.
- 1:14:19But. I didn't really the Ohio State
- 1:14:22like the asshole. That's why you're infatuated
- 1:14:24with assholes. No.
- 1:14:25I don't know. That's not why.
- 1:14:28First of all, I'm not infatuated with assholes.
- 1:14:31Idiots. I don't know bro.

- 1:16:30I had a coach that was real from Boston, so everything was fish,
- 1:16:34fish guts and then he's or fish nuts and then he would just
- 1:16:38always. Change it every time.
- 1:16:41I think I was called fishmonger by 1 coach time.
- 1:16:46Not a great one. He is goofy, no?
- 1:16:51That's nothing tremendous. He's a crybaby.
- 1:16:54Ready made, you know. Some things are just there.
- 1:16:58They're like it's just waiting for you.
- 1:17:01Some are interesting because I don't know if you guys heard the
- 1:17:04story about like Dustin Bedroy and David Ortiz.
- 1:17:08He was Petey and literally Big Poppy had no idea his first name
- 1:17:13was Dustin. I remember that.
- 1:17:15I remember him saying that actually.
- 1:17:17He was doing, he was getting into like the Red Sox Hall of
- 1:17:20Fame and and he goes Pee wee because he couldn't say Petey.
- 1:17:24So he'd call me Pee Wee and he's like, what did he call you?
- 1:17:27And he's like Dustin, He goes, huh?
- 1:17:31And he's like, dude, I've been running for like 10 years and
- 1:17:35have like 3000 at bats. My name is Dustin.
- 1:17:39Good for me. It's good for both.

- 1:17:48What was your? Join it together.
- 1:17:53He is goofy, Errol. He's a crybaby.
- 1:17:55You're like a Dennis the Man. I don't first of all, I don't
- 1:17:58like nicknames. I, I, I never, if if I was on
- 1:18:01the ice or I was, I would just call somebody something stupid.
- 1:18:05I would never give him a nickname.
- 1:18:06And anybody that tried to marxy like you, like you guys, you
- 1:18:10know, the coaches used to call you Marxy.
- 1:18:12But usually my coach used to call me asshole because I would
- 1:18:15be the biggest idiot on the ice or I would cause the most
- 1:18:18trouble in the locker room. So and that's why the coach, you
- 1:18:22know, Babe Ruth. Babe wasn't his name, it was
- 1:18:24George Herman Ruth. Yeah, nobody gave me a nickname.
- 1:18:28Babes better. You know what I call myself?
- 1:18:30The hammer, because I just want to hammer you down.
- 1:18:33I thought, I thought. Yeah, I'm sure.

- 1:18:40thought. You'll be my nail.
- 1:18:42You'll be my nail. I'll.
- 1:18:43Be your hand. It was Rolo.
- 1:18:44No, that's, that's what my friends call me now.
- 1:18:47Like that's why I gave myself the the nickname DJ Rolo.
- 1:18:51But that's not what they used to call me, you know, That was What
- 1:18:55are you laughing at? What are you laughing at?
- 1:18:58Oh, you weren't like. The truth I want to.
- 1:19:00Do a water. Or something like.
- 1:19:01That no, I I never had a nickname.
- 1:19:03I I never our coaches were really not into the nickname
- 1:19:07crap. He just tell us to go out out in
- 1:19:09the ice, assholes and stuff like that.
- 1:19:11They were nasty. You know what's so funny?
- 1:19:13It's funny. I want to move on, but I was at
- 1:19:16a recently, maybe a couple of months ago, I went to this
- 1:19:19burger shop and I didn't realize my ex coach was the owner of the
- 1:19:24burger shop. I walk right in and I, I thought
- 1:19:27I knew who he was. So I kind of looked down.
- 1:19:29I didn't want him to recognize me.
- 1:19:31I'm sitting there and eating, I'm eating a burger.
- 1:19:33He comes up to me and says, Harold, I was like, coach, you
- 1:19:36say, what are you doing here? It's like I own this shop and
- 1:19:38say what what what happened to going like going pro as a head
- 1:19:41coach? He's like, well, instead of
- 1:19:43going pro, I went pro with burgers.
- 1:19:49He's making his money, man. He's doing well.
- 1:19:50So I'm, I wish him all the luck in the world.
