• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody. Game preview guy here with a breakdown of
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: all the moves teams made ahead of twenty twenty six.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Before we get into it, I am not artificial. Some
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: will say I'm not very intelligent either. That's debatable, but
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: me being a real person is not all Those bill
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: collectors certainly seem to think I'm real anyway. AFC south
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Jaggs took it last year, Trevor Lawrence looking like a
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: number one overall pick. Finally, for them to repeat, he
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: has to keep it rolling. Jacksonville didn't make many big moves,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: so they're depending on mostly the same cast. In twenty
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: twenty six, Houston should be tough again with that defense
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Will Anderson, Danil Hunter up front and a stout secondary.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: They just need CJ. Stroud to produce at a higher
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: level than he did in twenty twenty five. Colts think
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: they just need Daniel Jones to stay healthy all year
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: because before he went down hurt last year, they had
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the top offense in football and Tennessee. They hope a
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: blue chip rookie receiver and a new head coach will
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: help propel cam Ward to to another level, which would
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: make them sneaky, dangerous talk about an overhaul. Tennessee Titans
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: three and fourteen. Last year, Quarterback of the future already
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: in place, though, got a new leader guy to guide
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the team Woo whoa and all sorts of other new
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: blood in hopes of turning things around sooner rather than later.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I Robert Salah, your new head coach twenty and thirty six.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: With the Jets as their leader guy a couple of
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: seven and ten seasons.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: The proper question would be what didn't I learn? You know,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: And there's so much to gain from anytime you're in
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: the chairs a head coach, and there's so many learning
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: experiences that I had. So I can sit here and
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: talk to you for the next four hours about all
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: those different things, but I can assure you that there
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: was tremendous growth through the opportunity that I had with
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: the Jets.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: He's a defensive minded cat. He grabbed Brian Dable to
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: run his offense.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Taught more just roast an absolute scene.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: He may not have been a good head coach, but
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: he was there when Allen took off.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Now throw to the pilot. He's a Titans touchdown.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: And Jackson Dart didn't look too bad last year. Under
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: his guidance. They're relying on him to help cam Ward
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: elevate his game.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: He's got an he got.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: It fifteen touchdowns, seven interceptions, and eighty eight out of
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the gate, and that the Titans touched up some highlight
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: reel throws.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Parted two cross his body to the back pilot.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Not a bad start based on what he did or
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: didn't have around him.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Decay.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: They made two big moves to help him on the field,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: used a premium first round pick on a wide receiver.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Carnel Tate is about to beat press coverage.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: He's got the strength to do that, and once he
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: gets on top of it, he's able to stack the corner,
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: get on top of him, and then adjust and make
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: big plays down the field. He has got outstanding hand
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: His contact catch rate is off the charts.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: If they get to his mets, he's.
• 3:04

  Speaker 1: Philadelphia safety read Blanken Ship held quarterbacks to a low
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: nineties rate.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Thick it's intercepted, Read blank and Ship picks it off
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: in the end z all.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: They no longer have the services of safety Miles Bryant,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: though eleven games three starts did hold his targets to
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: a sub ninety rating.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what's a little bit light in the game, and

• 17:47
  Speaker 1: and a half QB takedowns in twelve games. Or Derek Barnett,
• 17:53

• 18:28
  Speaker 1: a carry teams to just ninety three rush yards per game.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Seahawks are trying to get Walker going.
• 18:34

• 18:38
  Speaker 4: throw Cayden McDonald into the nex pick him up in
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: the second round.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: He's pretty damn good at the football, yeah, especially against
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: the run.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Not only is someone that can stack blocks and hold
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage, he is productive. He makes a
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: ton of tackles, he frees himself and is able to
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: locate the football.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: You see it here working through two blocker underrated linebacking
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: group Aziz al Shire over one hundred tacks, well good
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: what and played the pass well knocking down nine passes.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah what made his first Pro Bowl?
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I threw football out.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Henry t third year as good as his second. That's
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: a good thing. Ninety five plus tackles for the second
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: year in a row, career high nine TFLs.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Alan Mini boot Allen in the backfield. That trouble he
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: goes down. I got he sacked by Henry Tote.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Their defense not the concern here, dude.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: We gotta get better, but we take the douve gotta
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: get better.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: It's that offense.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I love you, baby has a fun out there?
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: What pass a fun? Hey, wait to see you saying maybe.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: It's not that it was a train wreck. Close to
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: twenty four points per games at least respectable, rose to the.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Edge, out cut, touchdown, hosted scares, but.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: It lacked consistency save being consistently bad in the red
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: zone interception.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: It's the five guard line.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: And on third down and.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: Clings the ball forward.
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: The Steelers are gonna think this is a fumble with.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: On top of it, and those short fallings often fell
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: on CJ. Stroud's shoulder.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: Now the pressure came from Sawyer and Wyatt Black snatched
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: it out of the air.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Stroud's production has dipped each of the last two seasons
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: following this offensive Rookie of the Year showing in twenty
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: twenty three.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Strout steps up in the pocket, throws over the middle
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: at dinner, stept.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: It from twenty three tds down to twenty then just
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: nineteen last year in fifteen games.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Shot that's up, a get up, let's a get a
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: throw down. The little chumping.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Intercept went from averaging two hundred and seventy three passing
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: yards per game to two nineteen and then two seventeen.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Last year he landed across the battery. They're gonna say
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: that the feet are in nds up.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Is a big year in determining if he was just
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: a right said Fred Strout.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Throws it up in the air, intercepted Marcus Jones.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Or if he is indeed a franchise quarterback?
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Got by question Jack cart touchdown.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Joe said the thought was poor O line play held
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: him back in twenty twenty four, but they were top
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: ten and sacks taken last year and in pressure allowed
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: in the pot CJ.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Throwing back at the ed zone caught NICKO call.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: It and even so they made lots of changes. Used
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: their first rounder on center, Keelan Rutledge. Yeah, first round
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: center means he's got to be pretty good.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: Just watch the strain to finish. That's a scouting term
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: we like to throw out there. This is I just
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: want to show that aspect of this guy's game. You
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: see the size, you see as a boy to anchor
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: all those things. Let's just watch this dude finish.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: Look at it. Just keep going driving.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: We're twenty yards down the field.
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: And we're not stopping until you're on your back, and that's.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: What he does.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: He takes over for Jake Andrews, who only gave up
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: two and a half sacks last year. They have a
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: new guard in Wyatt Teller, former Brown left guard was
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: a mess last season due to injuries. Brought in Braden
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Smith to play right tackle. Thirteen games for the Colts
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: a year ago, three sacks allowed takes Titus Howard spot
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: he allowed three sacks as well. Ursery gave up a
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: team high eight sacks. Was a rookie so had some bumps,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: but held it down pretty well overall. He still has
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: a WR one type. Nico Collins hought.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: By College touchdown kisted.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Over eleven hundred yards a year ago, six.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Tds hot Nico College over.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: One thousand yards the last three straight years light side,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: and Nico with the catch.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: Light side of the zone, a touchdown rock and roll
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: twenty nine yard touchdown pass brook Strout to College.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Jayden Higgins matched him with six scores over five hundred
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: yards in his rookie campaign.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: Left go left go.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Fellow rookie Jalen Noel close to three hundred yards in
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: his first go of it.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: What sideline forty and plopped out in side by thirty yard.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Live jail at Xavier Hutchinson career high in catches, yards
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: and tds and playing time four hundred yards and changed
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: three tds in his year three.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: In the episode Rock and Roll Touchdown.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Josted tight end Dalton Schultz led the team interceptions with
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: eighty two hit the jackpot with seven hundred and seventy
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: seven yards. Hope he had more than a quarter plug
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: in there, second most yards he's had in his eight
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: year career.
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: Goes right side back of the episode God Touchdown Dunton Shop.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: They hope what he Marx can build off a rookie
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: season that saw him crack seven hundred yards.
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: Right side cuts back ted five body to the easode.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Pulled in over two hundred receiving yards on top of.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: That marks across the five marks to the episode.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Marks only three six A carry will take a backseat
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: or share snaps with newcomer David Montgomery. They traded for
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: the former Lion seven hundred plus yards, eight tds and
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five healthy four point five per run.
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: It goes over the right side ton of Top cuts
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: to a right at the fifteen get out of the
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: tenth town of the five to three the exode.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: His arrival made Nick Chubb less of a need, chipped
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: in over five hundred yards.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Touch down Josta Shop to the house.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: They have one of the best kickers, Kayimi Fairbairn didn't
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: miss an extra point, most field goal attempts and field
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: goals made. He went forty four for forty Eight's God.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Their offense will also get Tank Dell back at some point.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Dell missed all last year recovering from that brutal leg
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: injury he suffered in twenty twenty four. Was an impact
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: player before he got hurt. Monty new to the scene.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: A couple of tweaks to the defense, but most of
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: the ombres that wrecked all those offenses are back. McDonald,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: the rookie joining the front seven, which still features Anderson
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: and Hunter off the edges, and hey, hey, hey that
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: secondary man Stingley, Peatree, Lassiter, Bullock and now Blankenship. Find
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: a better back five. I'll wait. Texans face the seventh
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: hardest schedule this year if you look at it through
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: every team's opponent's projected win totals. But they're one of
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: the teams with an over under in the above five
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: hundred range at nine point five. Fact is that defense
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: can beat any team any week. This is their ceiling.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: If we had Ferdinand, that cartoon bull played by John Cena,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: go through their schedule. Beat Buffalo at home, because they
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: beat Buffalo at home last year, so why not again?
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Beat Cincinnati at home, Indianapolis on the road, Dallas at home.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: They're plenty capable of taking out Jacksonville, Tennessee, and the
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Giants are supposed to be below them. Chargers is in
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: La and if they have their tackles this time, maybe
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: they take it. But take Cleveland and the Colts Pittsburgh,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Washington and the Jags in Houston, Philadelphia and Green Bay
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: are road tilt, so we'll let those go, but finish
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: with a win over the Titans. My bag feels ten
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: plus is at least achievable. Stroud on the offense improve
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: a little bit, defense holds the line.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Finally we back outside, We back outside, I'll go.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: It was like watching Raiders of the Lost Arc and
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: then immediately watching Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, where you
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: go from watching a twenty eight year old Indiana.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: Jones By to be a movie to be a movie to.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Watching a forty five year old version of him. I mean,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Harrison was trying his best, but it's just not the
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: same that was set.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: That was set, that was set.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Everybody gets it, Daniel Daniel Daniel Jones followed the same
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Sammy d Gino path.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: I got through Rushing, Hoddy through Russian Toddy Oh.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Hushing escape the Big Apple. Live up to your potential
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: and you're not playing what I'm worry Dimes started falling
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: from the sky.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Great throw by Danny Dimes.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Indianapolis's offense spent more than half the year as the
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: number one scoring oh the Colts.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: Now have forty points for the second time this season.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Dj pulling off a Lloyd Christmas and totally redeeming himself
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: to the five tds. Along the ground.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: Touchdown Daniel Johns of Russian store his porn rushing touchdown
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: this season.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Nineteen through the air. Yes, close to two hundred and
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: forty passing yards per game.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: Look at deep down the field that it is.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: A one hundred rate. Nice throws man over eight yards
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: per attempt, a sixty eight percent completion rate. Wanted he
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: was the difference maker.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Can't be Den, can't be TONI can't beat that.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: When he went down, the rest of the cards crumbled.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: So now they have to see if he can pick
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: up where he left off. If he can, JT goes
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: back to being in sync.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: Run down the box side like Tardy. He's at the
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: puny smite upondy Tom. Taylor's right out.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: About defenses just keyed on him when the passing attack
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: wasn't popping, but when it was, Taylor was shredding.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Touch back to his right, spinning up field, still going.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: It's not out of a tackle. He's at the twenty,
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: he's at the ten, he's at the five. Touchdown.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Still led the league with eighteen rushing tds. Stand the
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: trip back the dead close to sixteen hundred yards.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: Turns away, nay touch down.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Four to nine A pack.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: You bet to hit Mary, Oh, you got to Hitory.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: And their primary four pass catchers just filled out the
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: band perfectly. Alec Pierce led the league in yards per
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: catch for a second year in a row.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: Back to the end zone. It's Alec Pears.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Twenty one per catch, led the team with just over
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: one thousand yards first one k season of his career.
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: Press cut it Cats were Alec Pears touchdown.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: They chose to hand him the coin, which led to
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: the departure of Michael Pittman, who led the team in
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: receptions with eighty and receiving tds with seven over seven
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: He said he stretched the ball across the goal line, so.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Josh downs needs to be more than a great three
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: over five hundred yards and four scores in twenty twenty five.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: And the end zone touchdown touch down.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: They signed Nick Westbrook a kine a three hundred to
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: four hundred yard type guy with the Titans, but didn't
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: see much action with Miami last year. Does look like
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: they've got their tight end for years to come.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: Tyler Warren has a touchdown and three straight games.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Tyler Warren with four tds seventy six catches over eight
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: hundred yards to start his career turns.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: For the Pilot touchdown Tyler.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Ward Jones was like, wait, so pass blocking is a thing,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Let's go. He used to get planted on the regular
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: in New York, not in Indy. Let's go, let's go
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: get one, Let's go, boy, let's go.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: Let's tell let's go.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Only twenty nine sacks taken seventh fuist.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: He packs to throw throws up field wide open Tyler Warren.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: And he walked to the left tackle Bernard Ryman, left
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: guard Quenton Nelson, center Tanner Bordolini, right guard, Matt and
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Calviz their starters in twenty twenty five. I have all
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: returning for twenty twenty six. The feeling is, get a
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: full year with Jones on offense, a full year of
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Sauce on defense, and we're dancing.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: I remember we had the knockout blood. We got the
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: freaking knockout blood, but of.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: The breakdown, and they need that to happen based on
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: what they gave up for him. Massive trade in the
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: afc Ian Ropaport tweeting it the Jets are trading Sauce Gardner.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: To the Colts.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Big picture twenty twenty five twenty third in yards per
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: game allowed in John passes to twenty four points per
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: game given up turns, twenty sixth on third down pass
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: rush could be more effective, middle of the pack in
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: sacks and worse than sack percentage.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: Here comes to the rush by the Colts and they
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: sack them inside the twenty five yard line.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: They didn't close the deal at a high enough rate.
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: Stafford most leven in the pocket, and he is crimming
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: down the sault.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: They gave up the second most passing yards per game.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Well there's Robinson touchdown.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Because they faced the second most pass attempts of any team,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: they didn't fare as bad based on volume, holding quarterbacks
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: to a sub ninety rate.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: Do I wish I could tell you what that dances,
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: but I am not familiar with that at all.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Into their front might not have bothered quarterbacks enough, but
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: they were second in yards. Will carry a loud down low.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: You wouldn't think Grover would be good in the trenches,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: but Stewart isn't a skinny blue muppet. He's a k
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Dot fan. If you don't come for the chili, what'd
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: you come for? Over fifty tackles As the big body
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: DT in the middle.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Herbert comes backed up of the air. Who's got its
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: big moss pack? Crover Stu.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: They had three guys with one hundred plus tackles, but
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: none of them are coming back. They're trotting out two
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: new inside linebackers. No more Germanere at one hundred and
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: one tackles in just twelve games.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: And speaking of stops, Servain Pratt.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: His partners iyear. Franklin also left town. One hundred and
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: twenty five raps last year plus two.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: Sacks every cover, I'll lose football.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: They replaced one with another triple digit tackle guy at
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: least a keen. Davis Gaither a career high and starts
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: and tackles, took down one hundred and seventeen ball carriers
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: for the Cardinals.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: But then it's picks over the middle Davis Gabo and.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: They drafted C. J. Allen with their second round draft pick.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: Very good chance he could have hurt his name last night.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: He falls into the second round into this range, and.
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: It's the good fortune of the Indianapolis Colts. Then I
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: only just got a linebacker to putting their middle their defense.
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: They got a leader that they can establish in the
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: middle of their defense.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: But they cut ties with strong safety Nick Cross and
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: his one hundred and twenty takedowns a pick in two
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: and a half sacks last year. Ross on this stack
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: taking his spot potentially their third round pick AJ Halsey.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: And then watch him plan and drive.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: He's really good at reading the quarterback and positioning himself
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: to make plays.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: On the football area. Is doing it down in the
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: red zone and doing it in.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: And the SEC at a very high level.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Free safety Cambina Baby held his targets to a nice
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: low sixties rate.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: No no, no, no, no, no no.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: The eighty one tackles h we will drop up four picks.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: That can't find him at the forty two yard line.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Great debut with the shoe.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: I've never noticed that there's line all four.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Of Indies corners with some ninety rates allowed. Char Various
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Ward only got in seven games solid when he was healthy.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: Steps back to the forty one and throws at it too. Play.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Same for Sauce Gardner, only got in a few games
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: post trade.
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: Sauce Gardner nearly had his first big impact.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: Play as a colt.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Kenny Moore, not returning, kept things in the mid eighties
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: rate wise. On his way out, took a flyer on corner.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Kim Taylor Britt who was CEB one material for a
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: bit in Cincinnati. Not last year, though, which is why
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: he was available. dB Mackai Blackman held quarterbacks to a
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: sub ninety right two picks over sixty tackles full year.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Eleven starts and.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: It's picked off. This time it's intercepted by the Colton
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: it's ma Kaile Blackman.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: They need more help from their front though. Layatu Latu,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: the one guy who did his part.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: Picked off Laya two la too at the interception.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Oh led the team in QB hits that Latu Lato
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: eight and a half sacks.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: Who had that on their bingo card.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: To start out defensive end, Samson ebucom two sacks fourteen games,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: so he isn't coming back and neither is defensive end.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Quitty pay Prisette dot Sand takes a sack who only
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: managed four backs. They picked up arden Key, a four
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: to six and a half sat guy four years running.
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: Pressure up the middle and trouble a downy goals.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: He joins defensive tackle to Forrest Buckner, only played ten games,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: racked four quarterbacks in that window.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: Plants. Here comes the russ by the Colts.
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: They twist them down and it's the Forest Buckner back
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: to the forty four yard line.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Colts used three different kickers last year. Spencer Schrader finished
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: and went thirteen for fourteen on field goal attempts, fourteen
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: for fourteen on extra points.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: So game on kick us out its way head to
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: put the up times.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Two questions with their offense. Will DJ pick back up
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: where he left off? And what will the absence of
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Pittman mean. Pierce and JT should keep doing their thing,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: but they may have to step up their games even more.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Defensive front seven key for Quiddy. That's a four sat
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: guy for a four sat guy. Rest of the front
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: three are the same. If Buckner plays all year, that
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: would make a big difference. Revamped second level Davis gather
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: a one hundred plus tack dude in for Franklin who
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: was also a triple digit tackle dude Alan and Bryce Betcher,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: a fourth rounder who may be a steal filling the
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: void left by Pratt in the secondary. Give them sauce
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: for a full year with Ward and they play the
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: pass better than last year. They do need somebody to
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: step up and fill the void left by more though
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Haulsey having a chance to start next to buying them
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: with Cross no longer in the building. Colts have a
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: favorable schedule in theory ninth easiest if you go by
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: their twenty twenty six opponents expected win totals. Indy's own
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: over under mark sits at seven and a half. So
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: what's their ceiling if their roster was even just one
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: game better than that tough first three games. But let's
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: give him a home win over Houston, followed by wins
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: over Washington, Pittsburgh, Tennessee, and Minnesota. They take Miami, the
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Giants sweep Tennessee and beat Cleveland before a week eighteen
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: home win over Jacksonville. That's a ten win season. When
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: I dug into the game, you guy back, I found
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: eight wins at least for one reason or another. It's
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: a team that's come up short of double digit wins
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: the last five straight years, so I'm not sure how
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: many more than eight they finished with.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: They've won the division title for the fifth time in
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: team history.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Dove all, Liam Cohen. Freddie Di says, drinks
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: are on him wherever you dine. Thirteen wins in twenty
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: twenty five, Cohen making Trevor Lawrence look great again.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: Today we get to see the edge of head coach
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: Liam Cohen.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Jason bounced from the good place a little too soon.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: I guess a lot of work put into this moment,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: A lot of work.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: Remember one thing today, You're not alone.
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: You've got Tim Dusrounnie that are gonna lay on the
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: line for you, you're the same for them.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: Down day one.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: You gotta have faith and Jack's faithful, have plenty of
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: it right now.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: Another pot, it'll be great.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Reigning AFC South champs with a resounding Baker's does and
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: in the win column. And Cohen didn't need Baker to
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: guide the team to those dubs. It was Trevor Lawrence,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: fire quarter back of the Ad who he had Roland Roland.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Roland comes off a career high twenty nine t ds fire.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: But cry up, come up, don't you the dodger.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: At the album and that does not appear to be
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Lawrence's ceiling.
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: Like Fireflila put down dat cut camp back right now
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: twice sack.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: Yard Hey, unbelievable. Okay, so big five Croup.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: His twenty twenty five felt more like what they expected
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: him to look like by his year two. Call him
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: fashionably late. Firefort and their offense produced plus with very
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: little production from the guy they traded up to to
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: play Lawrence's new significant other. Jacksonville's mostly Travis hunterless offense
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: close to twenty eight points per game sixth best has
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: put the.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: Ten Brooke at tackle the ad don't touch.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: Out eleventh flosk yards per game, but.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: They don't toutch out and Jack Billa retakeably top.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: Ten in the red zone again. Could be even better
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: if they can improve on third down. This year Lawrence made.
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: The tackle, but he also threw the interception.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: And maybe take fewer sacks they took forty one. A
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: year ago, left tackle Walker Little gave up a team
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: high eight and a half sacks, made fourteen starts, allowed
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: a real high pressure rate too. Ole Van Lannon, positioned
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: to unseat him, only allowed two and a half sacks,
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: made ten starts. But everybody they're re lying on made
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: starts for them in twenty twenty five. No who faces
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: expecting to crack the lineup.
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: Run the ball? Run you want to what the plus
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: it is? Do you want to?
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: Hunter got in seven games as a rookie close to
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: three hundred yards and a TD in that span. As
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: his forced tachdown, they expected him to be a game
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: changer on both sides of the ball. Of course, has
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: to heal up and find his place in a crowded
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: wide out room. They traded for Jacoby Meyer's mid year
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: played so well they gave him a contract extension eight
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: hundred plus yards between Vegas and the Jags. That's five
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: straight eight hundred plus yard campaigns.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: A cutdown to pubbymer.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: Maybe Obi Wan Jacoby can help mentor young Brian Thomas.
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: Cup down.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: He's trying to rebound from the dreaded sophomore slump. He
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: was banged up. He missed three games. He finished with
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: a little over seven hundred yards twelve hundred plus yards
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: and ten tds as a rookie, So last year was disappointing.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: Parts of trilogies usually come with redemption. Parker Washington, on
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: the other hand, would like to keep living it up.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: By the Lutch Dow put up a career high eight
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: hundred and forty seven yards and five touchdowns in his
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: third year on the job, more than double this previous high.
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: Well, that ball is going to be caught by the
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: touchdown by Parker Waka.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: He housed two punt returns too.
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: Anybody suck. He's gonna host this guy.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: And they like their tight end. Brenton Strange, he missed
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: five games, still cobbled over five hundred yards together.
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: The blends a touchdown backing him up.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: Nate Borkircher, who they drafted in the second round of
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: the draft.
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: Bor Kercher not super productive, only nineteen catches this last year.
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: He's twenty four years old, but he is a hand
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: in the grow wide tight end. He can block, and
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: he's gonna be able to help in the run game
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: as well as if a steady, dependable, reliable pass catcher.
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: Not really a mismatch type player.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: So did Key change at running back as Travis h
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: and left Town off one thousand plus yard season.
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: You're gonna walk in the van.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: Means more action for bacial touton to cheat you and
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: look at Bacial touting go five tds in his rookie
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: year coming off the bench and walk into the man
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: and Trev partially finishing fifth in MVP voting because he
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: also ran for a career high three hundred and fifty
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: plus yards matched Ferris Ditch marker punching in nine touchdowns.
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: King celled out clip clout on the play, are gonna
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: clim run out.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: As surprised as some word to see Jacksonville's offensive night
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: as fast as it did under Cohen's command. The bigger
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: turnaround was that defense wes Borland like unbelievably underrated group
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: in twenty.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: Twenty five, Love all of it that we're feeling right now.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: I love it, Ralph talk about results varying.
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: Justin Herbert was ten of eighteen for eighty one yards
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: an interception.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: This is easily the worst game of his career. They're
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four defense left fans wanting to break stuff after.
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: Each game that's been pon. Then that the tone.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: They were brutally bad at everything. They went from thirty
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: first and yards per game allowed twenty eighth and points
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: per game in twenty twenty four to eleventh and yards
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: per game allowed in twenty twenty five, holding teams to
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: nineteen points per game, eighth fewest.
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: The football is bigap are you gidding? I bring it up,
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: ott of that hold up, god on.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: They came away with the second most takeaways, getting.
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: The balls out. Football is out. They knocked it out
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: of their product. Jump on top of it. That's the
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: John warf god dag damn it.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: The second most iron tas.
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: Yes intercepted by Jacksonville at the eye in Indianapolis.
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: The Jacks picking it off.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: In the ends, gave up the second highest ratingquarterbacks in
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, and then held him to a sub
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: eighty rate a year ago.
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: Knocked away the deck, winning it over.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: Time, holding them to six point two yards per attempt.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: Third lowest ridiculous turnaround fire thief down field picked up.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: Cornerback Monteric Brown just keeps improving, knocked down a team
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: by twelve passes, two iron t's held his targets to
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: a sub seventy rate in his year four.
• 44:26
  Speaker 6: His passes nearly intercepted.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: Wasn't yes it was thirty year cornerback Jerry and Jones
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: holding it down to a low sixties rate in his
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: sophomore campaign, hands on eight balls, three iron ts.
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: Well he picked off the ball is intercepted theod jack
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: pick it off. That story and jolt stepped that front hunter.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: Their third young promising corner held quarterbacks to a low
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: eighties rate when he played not bad.
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: Well done playing the football. This guy's got tremendous instincts.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: Bit cornerback Jordan Lewis eight passes defense, two picks, a
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: low nineties rate over twelve games.
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: And I picked off Jordan Louis picked it off.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: They have youth at safety as well. Antonio Johnson fifty
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: eight tackles and his year three nine passes defensed, five
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: I INT's no tds allowed for a low thirties rate.
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: Todell Jodan with a big fix.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: VET safety Eric Murray gave up a rating over one
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: hundred and his twelve contests. This will be his eleventh season.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: They let fellow VET safety Andrew Winguard walk off an
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: eighty plus tackle seven ninety rate season.
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: Andrew with what I do, brother, Now, if their front.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: Could work end together with their backside, they could really
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: do some damage. Only thirty two sacks in twenty twenty five,
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: only five teams with fewer. Their top pass rush threat,
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: Josh Heinz Allen met with a team high eight sacks.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: That's back to back eight bad years.
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: I gotta hit him and that would be a safety
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: as seven plus in six of his seven years.
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: Got to get him plait a second.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: Biggest de bet to play that ever, tos of Doll
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: teased everyone with that seventeen and a half sack effort
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three.
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: Got tie dout, got it.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: He finished the year strong, though.
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: Josh has set the franchise career record for sacks. Congratulations
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: to Josh hide Allen.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: His partner across the way can't say the same thing.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker is like biting into a chocolate starfish and
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: washing it down with hot dog flavored water. Three and
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: a half sacks of a fourteen games.
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: Heah, no, you don't want to go for it. You
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: do not want to go for it.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: He was banged up much of the year.
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: I lets that it's all for the hammer, so hoping better.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: Health will lead to a rebound. He was a ten
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: plus sack guy the previous two seasons. That defensive tackle
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: Eric Armstead found his way to five and a half quarterbacks,
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: second most on the team.
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: Erk Armstead pulling him down by the feet.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: Defensive tackle Davon Hamilton not much of a bag man
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: there to stop runners, which Jacksonville did. No team allowed
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: a fewer rushing yards per game, and they held runners
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: to the second lowest yards per carry average at three
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: to nine.
• 47:09
  Speaker 6: I got to the backfield and Quill.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: Lost a second team All Pro linebacker and Devin Lloyd,
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: though had five I and t's in twenty twenty five, intercepted.
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: And were a massive momentson swing for the Johnsonville Jail yards.
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: On the very first he quits.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: A play in the game, Lloyd didn't need to worry
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: about wrapping up every runner with Foyer by his side,
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: a Luakin with one hundred and forty plus tackles. That's
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: six straight seasons with triple digits and tackles. And he
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: knocked down a fat eleven passes.
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: They intercepted by boy Iola, pad.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: And their kicker. Nothing little about Cam's leg power, That's
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: the unquestionable truth. He's like the Steph Curry of NFL
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: kicking romer seventy yard field goal in preseason followed by
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: an NFL record setting sixty eight yarder made in the
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: regular season, three and out from your own twenty Cam,
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: what do you think?
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: Sixty hey yard? How good of that?
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: All the expected starters for Jacksonville on both sides of
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: the ball in twenty twenty six, all dudes who suited
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: up for them in twenty twenty five. They lost a
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: few guys here and there, but are filling the voids
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: from within. Lost wind guard at safety, drafted Jalen Husky
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: in the third round to take his locker. At least
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: Hunter playing a full year kind of makes him a
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: new addition front seven. Lloyd no longer at linebacker. That
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: means Miller will step into more starts and drafted Albert
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: Regis in the third round to provide depth up front,
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: the offensive playmakers, Hunter joining Myers, Washington and Thomas in
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: the wide out room again, or Kircher the nubie at
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: tight end Twoton getting a shot at RB one status
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: with a chan gon Tee Law directing it all and
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: hoping to truly fill the prophecy that he can indeed
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: do what Anakin did in that galaxy far far away.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: Jaggs getting a nine and a half over under designation
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: means their expectations for the year are still high. Eleven
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: and a half is as high as any team got,
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: so their mark is kind of like getting a bee
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: on a test and their middle of the pack and
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: strength of schedule if you look at it via their
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: opponents twenty twenty six projected win totals. So let's see
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: what their ceiling might be. A win over Cleveland beat
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: New England and Douvaal Cincinnati is on the road, But
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: since we're trying to be optimistic, why not take Houston
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: and Indianapolis beat Tennessee. The Giants sweep the Titans defeat
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: Chicago and Pittsburgh get Dallas, Washington and Indianapolis to finish
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: for another thirteen to win year. That would be quite
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: the feat and quite the season. Not sure they get
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: that many, but double digits seems realistic so long as
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: tee law really has arrived.
