3:24
SPEAKER_01: The end goal is to end game.
3:26
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
3:27
SPEAKER_01: You gotta make it to the last game of the season if you want to be classified as one of the top top what players?

SPEAKER_01: At least get there there.
3:45
SPEAKER_02: If you want to be classified as the top, you gotta get to the Super Bowl.
3:48
SPEAKER_02: No, but apparently, I mean, Josh Allen is considered around the world uh these days.
3:56
SPEAKER_02: When they do votes and shit like that, he's considered the best quarterback in the league.
4:00
SPEAKER_02: Well, I mean, it's made it to a Super Bowl.
4:03
SPEAKER_02: Fuck winning when I even made it there.
4:05
SPEAKER_02: So you know, that's my homes just went by the wayside.
4:08
SPEAKER_02: You know, they like, well, we got a little bit a little bit of bias, or one year where they don't make the playoffs, and all of a sudden this motherfucker is just not Patrick Mahomes anymore.
4:18
SPEAKER_02: It's kind of crazy, but whatever.
4:21
SPEAKER_02: I mean whatever.
4:22
SPEAKER_02: And they got three Super Bowls in six years, but I guess.
4:25
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I what?

4:48
SPEAKER_01: Like, he's gonna he's gonna come out there running fucking.
4:52
SPEAKER_01: We can dive in that first since we talk about that.
4:54
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
4:55
SPEAKER_01: But um But I mean, dude, I mean, Travis Kelsey's been in the league for fucking 11.
5:01
SPEAKER_01: Like, dude, if you want somebody, if you want somebody with experience, the tight end, still got size, still got speed, like he's still like right.
5:09
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I saw clips.
5:10
SPEAKER_01: I saw clips of him in training camp, bro.
5:13
SPEAKER_01: He was still looking at John.
5:15
SPEAKER_02: It's like until he gets hit a bunch of times and then we'll see what he's looking like.
5:20
SPEAKER_02: Uh but then but then he hops right back up and is fucking barking in their face.
5:24
SPEAKER_02: 17 games finisher.
5:26
SPEAKER_02: We'll see.
5:27
SPEAKER_02: We'll see after.
5:29
SPEAKER_02: Talk to me about him in December, and then I'll give you my answer.
5:35
SPEAKER_02: See if he can make it through a whole season.
5:37
SPEAKER_02: He's getting older.
5:38
SPEAKER_02: Well, so they so what's the deal with uh Rashad Rice?
5:42
SPEAKER_02: Oh, he's fine.
5:43
SPEAKER_02: He's fine.
5:43
SPEAKER_02: He already serves.
5:45
SPEAKER_02: He's going into weekends.
5:46
SPEAKER_02: He's going, he's going into week one.
5:47
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he'll be playing week one.
5:49
SPEAKER_02: Mahomes.
5:50
SPEAKER_02: Everything's playing to week one, but I don't think it'll be enough.
5:55
SPEAKER_02: I don't know if they'll make the playoffs this year.
5:57
SPEAKER_02: Well, so week one.
5:59
SPEAKER_02: I don't think they're gonna beat the Broncos week one in Kansas City.
6:02
SPEAKER_02: You said you want to talk about this game first?
6:04
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I mean, we already talked about Mahomes, so might as well just transition to fucking.
6:09
SPEAKER_01: So this is the last game, so this is the last game of week one, though.
6:12
SPEAKER_01: It's Monday night football.
6:13
SPEAKER_01: Oh, it is?
6:13
SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay, okay.
6:14
SPEAKER_01: Well, that's fine.
6:15
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's Monday night football, so we're finishing the night off with uh we're finishing the week off with uh Broncos Chiefs.
6:23
SPEAKER_01: It um, you know, did you see where it was at?
6:26
SPEAKER_01: Is it in uh Kansas City or Denver?
6:30
SPEAKER_01: Because dude, I mean, I feel like uh NFL more than more than a lot of other sports is depending on where you if you're playing home or away is definitely definitely a big factor.
6:44
SPEAKER_01: Especially depending on where you're playing.
6:47
SPEAKER_01: There are definitely some stadiums that I mean dude.
6:52
SPEAKER_01: Okay, it's NKC.
6:54
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
6:56
SPEAKER_01: I mean dude, the Broncos could still pull up there and fucking.
7:01
SPEAKER_01: I mean, dude, the I mean we're I mean they're definitely mad about last year.
7:05
SPEAKER_01: Last year in that fucking AFC divisional bro, 13-10 quarterback went out.
7:12
SPEAKER_02: One thing defense played also gotta consider could have won that game is if you know Mahomes, if that knee isn't ready and they rushing back too soon, and then next thing you know, they're you know, a couple weeks down or a week down the road, is some soreness or some swelling in that knee, and now he's out for three, four games.
7:33
SPEAKER_02: Right?
7:33
SPEAKER_02: So uh it all depends on Mahomes and how that knee responds.
7:38
SPEAKER_02: They're saying everything is pointing towards him starting week one, even though he tore his ACL in week fucking what 13 last year 14.
7:47
SPEAKER_02: So at his age, that's kind of like quick recovery.
7:55
SPEAKER_02: That is very quick.
7:56
SPEAKER_02: I don't know if it's the same one.
7:58
SPEAKER_02: It's a good question.
7:59
SPEAKER_02: Definitely, but either way, go, he tore a meniscus and one of those two knees a few years back, three, four, five.
8:05
SPEAKER_02: I can't remember.
8:06
SPEAKER_02: That's what I remember.
8:08
SPEAKER_02: And I don't know if it's the same knee.
8:11
SPEAKER_02: But um also Daniel Jones is about to be back too, so that's a little uh surprising Achilles injuries.
8:21
SPEAKER_01: So I mean the injuries didn't yeah, the Daniel Jones was honestly a little bit more surprising to me that he was gonna be back by week one and because I think it was like week seven or eight that he he did his Achilles for the for the Colts.
8:36
SPEAKER_01: So I mean that was a little bit late.
8:39
SPEAKER_01: That's around there you go.
8:40
SPEAKER_01: So like I mean late.
8:43
SPEAKER_02: Late November, so he was there early early November.
8:48
SPEAKER_02: Early November at that point they probably would have been.
8:55
SPEAKER_02: It might have been, I don't know.
8:59
SPEAKER_01: So I'm saying I I mean he's probably he's probably been out for like nine, ten months, but I mean he he I mean at this point, but he's been back on the field for a little while as well during training camp, so yeah.
9:10
SPEAKER_01: I mean with the tornado killies, I mean these doctors, man, the right treatment, the right fucking rehab program, you can get back out there real quick.
9:20
SPEAKER_01: Like a lot of these doctors, doctors men are getting people right.
9:25
SPEAKER_01: I think it's a different ball game.
9:27
SPEAKER_01: Ball game back there in the fucking in the fitness room, in the training room.
9:32
SPEAKER_02: Um his last game was December 7th.
9:36
SPEAKER_01: Rehab wise, yeah, bro.
9:37
SPEAKER_01: December 7th.
9:38
SPEAKER_01: So he's back in nine months.
9:40
SPEAKER_02: Mind you nine months.
9:42
SPEAKER_01: The thing is what, like 32, 33?
9:44
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and also not to mention before that they had lost four or five.
9:51
SPEAKER_01: Crazy, bro.
9:53
SPEAKER_02: Four or five.
9:54
SPEAKER_02: Oh, that last that that's one thing also.
9:56
SPEAKER_01: That's what I'm saying, bro.
9:57
SPEAKER_01: I mean, bro, when when Jones Jones started their first seven games, they were hot as shit.
10:02
SPEAKER_01: And then when he went out, like cold as shit.
10:05
SPEAKER_02: He was playing, though.
10:06
SPEAKER_02: That's what I'm saying.
10:07
SPEAKER_02: His last game was December 7th.
10:12
SPEAKER_02: He got hurt December 7th.
10:14
SPEAKER_02: They lost that game to Jags, lost the game before that to the Texans, then lost to the Chiefs.
10:20
SPEAKER_02: So they had lost three in a row, beat Atlanta, but it took them to overtime and lost to Pittsburgh.
10:25
SPEAKER_02: So they had lost five games of the last six with Daniel Jones as their quarterback, or four of the last five with him as their quarterback.
10:32
SPEAKER_02: So I didn't realize people just remember the start that they had.
10:39
SPEAKER_02: And that's what I was trying to say before is like he um didn't get off to it, got off to a great start, but in a but didn't, you know, got hurt going into, you know what I'm saying, or didn't play good before he got hurt, but um we'll see what that knee is like.
10:58
SPEAKER_02: Kenneth Walker, he's already questionable going to the season, which um yeah, because I when I was fucking doing or helping JJ yesterday, um fucking the draft shit.
11:12
SPEAKER_02: I looked at Kenneth Walker and it said it had a Q on there, so he's already questionable.
11:17
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
11:18
SPEAKER_02: Um the season ain't even fucking started.
11:20
SPEAKER_02: He ain't played in preseason at all, I don't believe.
11:22
SPEAKER_02: So that's a problem.
11:25
SPEAKER_02: Um they don't really the receiving core isn't the best.
11:28
SPEAKER_02: Rashi Rice is is good.
11:30
SPEAKER_02: I like him a lot.
11:31
SPEAKER_02: Um, he was top ten.
11:35
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they got worthy.
11:36
SPEAKER_02: Um, but the Age and Kelsey gave up Trent McDuffie.
11:41
SPEAKER_02: Um you don't have Leo Chanel anymore, which was was playing fucking a linebacker for them.
11:50
SPEAKER_02: So you lost two good players.
11:51
SPEAKER_02: You got Chris Jones still, um, you got Sneed back, which he's 30.
11:57
SPEAKER_02: So I don't know if Kansas City and Denver is hungry still.
12:03
SPEAKER_02: You know, I mean Denver, they don't they don't fear Kansas City anymore.
12:06
SPEAKER_02: That was part of the issue before.
12:08
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they did fear for years they owned us.
12:11
SPEAKER_02: And teams fear teams, once you it's mental, once you had that belief where you like we can beat these dudes, like you know what I'm saying?
12:18
SPEAKER_02: We didn't already beat them twice, whatever.
12:22
SPEAKER_02: We can beat them again.
12:24
SPEAKER_02: And they nodded the best.
12:26
SPEAKER_02: So, you know, I don't see Denver losing that game.
12:30
SPEAKER_02: We'll see what Jalen Waddle does um in the game, but I see you picked Kansas City, so I did pick Kansas City.
12:40
SPEAKER_02: Why is that I think though disrespectfully disrespecting your boys.
12:46
SPEAKER_01: I don't care.
12:47
SPEAKER_01: I mean I think I think Mahomes will That's the right answer.
12:50
SPEAKER_01: I mean I think it'll be a I think it'll be a I think it'll be a really close game.
12:54
SPEAKER_01: I mean, like a lot of a lot of the Broncos games were last year, right?
12:59
SPEAKER_01: A lot of a lot of a lot of a lot of really close games, a lot of comebacks.
13:04
SPEAKER_01: Um, but I mean I think the Chiefs, I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if the Broncos were up for a lot of it.
13:11
SPEAKER_01: The Chiefs maybe made a little bit of a comeback just being at home.
13:15
SPEAKER_01: Um, maybe somehow getting a little bit of momentum out of out of fucking Mahomes doing Mahomes things late in the game.
13:22
SPEAKER_02: I think Denver is gonna come out and smack a punching right in the fucking mouth right off rip.
13:27
SPEAKER_02: I think first goddamn play.
13:29
SPEAKER_02: They might may not be a turnover, it may not, but they gonna come out and just smack whoever the fuck catched the ball who running.
13:36
SPEAKER_02: They're gonna set that tone and let you know right off rip.
13:40
SPEAKER_02: Not tonight.
13:41
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
13:42
SPEAKER_02: Not tonight, brother.
13:44
SPEAKER_02: We win the fucking Super Bowl this year.
13:46
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
13:46
SPEAKER_02: You know, they like we we got we we got cheated because our quarterback got hurt.
13:51
SPEAKER_02: Fuck that.
13:52
SPEAKER_02: Not this time.
13:52
SPEAKER_02: He's ready to go.
13:54
SPEAKER_02: We're ready to go.
13:55
SPEAKER_02: We about to beat these niggas ass.
13:59
SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
13:59
SPEAKER_02: I think that mindset for Denver, I just you know what I'm saying.
14:02
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
14:02
SPEAKER_01: No, I mean that's fair.
14:04
SPEAKER_01: Well, so I wouldn't be surprised if the Broncos came out to like a two touchdown, three touchdown lead.
14:10
SPEAKER_01: I mean, granted, if you I was gonna say if it gets if it gets 21s, if it gets more than over.
14:17
SPEAKER_01: But yeah.
14:17
SPEAKER_01: We talked about something else.
14:20
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we're talking about something else next time.
14:22
SPEAKER_01: So it might be like a 10, 10, 14.
14:25
SPEAKER_01: Like, I mean, the Broncos probably get some points up at half.
14:28
SPEAKER_01: So I mean it might be like a I mean a 21, 21, 10 game at halftime.
14:34
SPEAKER_01: And then the Chiefs come back.
14:37
SPEAKER_01: It's classic Patrick Mahomes at home, dude.
14:39
SPEAKER_01: They don't want to lose week one at home after the year they had last year.
14:44
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
14:46
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
14:46
SPEAKER_01: That's what like that's why I pick the Chiefs.
14:48
SPEAKER_01: I think it'll be a close game.
14:50
SPEAKER_01: I think the Chiefs will pull it out.
14:51
SPEAKER_01: Not saying the Broncos, I think the Broncos are still gonna have a good year.
14:54
SPEAKER_01: Oh, they won't.
14:55
SPEAKER_01: I don't think I don't think I mean their defense is gonna be great.
14:58
SPEAKER_01: I don't think Bonex is gonna go anywhere.
15:01
SPEAKER_01: But week one starting against the divisional opponent away is really tough.
15:10
SPEAKER_00: Like I said, if they come definitely that's gonna be a crucial factor.
15:16
SPEAKER_00: If he can get through our defense, then he's gonna win.
15:18
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and I mean I guess I guess we might see that kind of early.
15:22
SPEAKER_01: Like if that happens early, then it might be a bad showing from there.
15:27
SPEAKER_01: But that's my point.
15:29
SPEAKER_01: I can also see I could also see it happening.
15:33
SPEAKER_01: Yeah like I could also see, I mean, we know how football works, bro.
15:37
SPEAKER_01: We like we've seen a defense lock up in the first half, first three quarters, and then a fourth quarter comes around, and and it and they're tired, and that offense is still out there, has a little bit more energy, and they're still ready to go.
15:52
SPEAKER_01: Like, like, you know what I'm saying?
15:55
SPEAKER_01: Like, because that like at that point, still put still a two-possession game.
15:58
SPEAKER_01: You score a touchdown, get them off at three and out, get another touchdown, you're right there.
16:03
SPEAKER_01: You're tied up.
16:04
SPEAKER_01: So you know easier saying.
16:06
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
16:06
SPEAKER_01: No, I know I mean it's a good thing.
16:08
SPEAKER_02: Well, neither one of the teams played their starters in the preseason, so it'll make it'll probably be you know low scoring a game first half, or it may be high scoring.
16:18
SPEAKER_02: You know, it may be a case of the offense not getting any rhythm on both sides, or you know, it could be one of those where um the defense, neither defenses are playing good to start off, and they just fucking it's goddamn 24 to 20 at halftime.
16:37
SPEAKER_02: Oh, wow.
16:38
SPEAKER_02: Or 21-17 at halftime.
16:39
SPEAKER_02: I don't think it'll be that crazy.
16:40
SPEAKER_01: First game.
16:41
SPEAKER_01: I don't think it'll be that crazy.
16:43
SPEAKER_02: Who knows?
16:43
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
16:44
SPEAKER_01: I mean maybe we'll never know.
16:47
SPEAKER_02: But go ahead and start with the first game of the season, rematch of the Seahawks.
16:53
SPEAKER_02: Yes, sir.
16:54
SPEAKER_02: Um that Seahawks.
16:56
SPEAKER_02: Well, it looks like we both got Seattle winning.
16:59
SPEAKER_02: Um I think New England's gonna have a better year than Seattle, but I think Seattle will still feed off of that crowd, that energy, that Super Bowl, because the defense is still gonna be formidable, but I don't think they're gonna be as good as they were last year.
17:17
SPEAKER_02: But I think JSN is still gonna be a problem for them.
17:21
SPEAKER_02: And well, honestly, I don't know because you know uh Trayvon, Trevion Henderson is questionable for New England um going into the game.
17:32
SPEAKER_02: And I don't think Charbonnet is gonna be ready to play in the beginning of the season.
17:39
SPEAKER_02: So I don't know who's gonna be getting those major snaps for them running the ball.
17:45
SPEAKER_02: Uh but you know, I think they'll figure find a way to figure it out.
17:50
SPEAKER_02: Um but this one's kind of tough just because I don't know, I can see New England um also being you know not happy with how the results went and being dominated in that Super Bowl against Seattle.
18:06
SPEAKER_02: I guess, you know, I guess maybe AJ Brown makes an imprint with the upgrades, yeah.
18:12
SPEAKER_01: With the upgrades that New England has made in that offense with I mean with Romeo Dobbs and A.J.
18:17
SPEAKER_01: Brown.
18:18
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
18:18
SPEAKER_01: I wouldn't be surprised if I saw five plus receptions in a big game on a both of them.
18:25
SPEAKER_01: So and even if Trayvon Henderson isn't isn't uh isn't in there, they might I mean Ramadre Stevenson.
18:35
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Roman Remodre Stevenson and then they get their second in there, second to third if it's by a committee or if Remontre Stevenson's playing good at that point.
18:43
SPEAKER_01: Right.
18:44
SPEAKER_01: Um we'll see how it is.
18:46
SPEAKER_01: See how the Seahawks defense reacts to it, losing a few losing a few people.
18:52
SPEAKER_01: I mean their offense looks relatively the same though.
18:55
SPEAKER_01: Without their I mean without their running back.
19:01
SPEAKER_02: Shaheed.
19:02
SPEAKER_02: Who's their tight end?
19:04
SPEAKER_02: Barner, I think, or not maybe a royal, I believe is one of their tight ends.
19:11
SPEAKER_02: AJ Barner?
19:12
SPEAKER_02: It may be AJ Barner, I think, but they had two tight ends, so it may be a Royal and Barner.
19:18
SPEAKER_02: But they're doing they're kind of, I mean, both their tight ends are playing good last year.
19:23
SPEAKER_02: The offense was kind of playing good as a whole towards the end of the season, like they were just clicking Sam.
19:28
SPEAKER_02: And it depends on Sam Darnold.
19:30
SPEAKER_02: It's gonna depend on the quarterback playing who who wins that defense and and and what quarterback can figure out which defense first, young Sam, or or the best.
19:42
SPEAKER_02: Uh, because they both have two defenses they they have to um have to maneuver through.
19:48
SPEAKER_02: I think New England's would be a tad bit better than Seattle's this year.
19:53
SPEAKER_02: Uh because they got a lot of returning players coming back.
19:56
SPEAKER_02: Seattle lost some.
19:58
SPEAKER_02: So New England was they have a very and they got, you know, arguably the best cornerback in Christian Gonzalez on that side.
20:05
SPEAKER_02: They got a very good defensive line, good everywhere.
20:10
SPEAKER_02: Um so Seattle has you know a top five, top four, whatever, a Witherspoon cornerback as well.
20:18
SPEAKER_02: Devon Witherspoon is uh and he just got paid um as well.
20:22
SPEAKER_02: So I think he's the highest paid corner right now, if I'm not mistaken.
20:30
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
20:31
SPEAKER_02: So I mean he played good last year.
20:33
SPEAKER_02: He's been playing good since he got to Seattle.
20:35
SPEAKER_02: I think he's only in his third year.
20:37
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
20:38
SPEAKER_02: I mean, he's already, you know, being put up in the top as far as corners.
20:44
SPEAKER_01: He's uh like uh he's uh third year getting paid on a on a team that just won the Super Bowl or something.
20:52
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so that's probably another reason why they let go of Kenneth Law here, because they like we gotta pay fucking JSN at some point, or if they haven't already paid, they already paid JSN.
21:04
SPEAKER_02: I feel like they I know they paid Sam Carnell.
21:07
SPEAKER_01: I feel like I don't know if they paid him this year or I feel like they paid him like relatively within the last few years.
21:19
SPEAKER_02: Was Archie all that picked up Tariq Willin?
21:21
SPEAKER_02: Detroit?
21:23
unknown: Who?
21:24
SPEAKER_02: Tariq Willin, cornerback?
21:26
SPEAKER_02: I don't know where he was.
21:27
SPEAKER_01: He was in Seattle last year, but I don't remember he extended in uh 2026.
21:34
SPEAKER_01: So yeah, it was JSN.
21:36
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so he just got extended.
21:38
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
21:38
SPEAKER_01: So was that like right before the no was that after the Super Bowl?
21:42
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he was after, yeah.
21:44
SPEAKER_01: He extended for four.
21:47
SPEAKER_02: No, JSN.
21:48
SPEAKER_02: So yeah, they I mean they had to be paid to he made him the highest paid receiver, I believe.
21:55
SPEAKER_02: And then you got the highest paid cornerback.
21:58
SPEAKER_02: So they chose to pay the Receiver and a cornerback rather than taking a walker.
22:05
SPEAKER_02: So I think that's why he ended up walking and going to Kansas City because they wouldn't have money that he wants.
22:14
SPEAKER_02: But he's also 27, so um they wasn't trying to pay his ass five years for 130.
22:21
SPEAKER_02: Like they wouldn't try to do that, especially with his injury history, him not being healthy.
22:26
SPEAKER_02: Even last year, he was he was healthy at the right time.
22:29
SPEAKER_02: Like he played to the end of the season, but he missed a couple games last year.
22:33
SPEAKER_02: But he's he's I had him on fantasy the year before that.
22:37
SPEAKER_02: He did good, but he just missed a couple, you know, at least three to five games, at least, you know what I mean?
22:42
SPEAKER_02: And so, you know, last year he just happened to miss time at the right time.
22:47
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
22:48
SPEAKER_02: You know, be here when they need him with Charbonate to return that ACL.
22:52
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
22:52
SPEAKER_01: No, and he and he was healthy at like the last like like four or five games of the open just going into the playoffs.
22:58
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so yeah.
22:59
SPEAKER_01: So he so he was healthy for like a little nice little like seven, eight game stretch.
23:04
SPEAKER_02: And he was fucking good for that.
23:08
SPEAKER_02: And just carried it on to the playoffs, but you know.
23:13
SPEAKER_01: Which we'll see.
23:14
SPEAKER_01: I mean, we'll see if he can do alright for the Chiefs this year.
23:17
SPEAKER_01: You know.
23:17
SPEAKER_01: Um, but kind of going to the other game on the Niners and Rams.
23:27
SPEAKER_02: In Australia.
23:32
SPEAKER_02: Neither of us is nine o'clock.
23:33
SPEAKER_02: Oh is it nine a.m.?
23:35
SPEAKER_02: Or eight or nine?
23:36
SPEAKER_02: I know it's an early game.
23:38
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it might be it might be nine a.m.
23:40
SPEAKER_01: or first p.m.
23:42
SPEAKER_01: Rams Niners?
23:44
SPEAKER_01: You want to catch that?
23:46
SPEAKER_02: I want to catch it, but uh like I told you, if the Bengals is playing, and unless it was a must-win game, then yes, if the Bengals were playing, I would get up at 9 o'clock in the morning.
23:57
SPEAKER_02: But if it's like we 4-0, 3-0, whatever, we playing a team, I'm not, or even the first game of the season.
24:04
SPEAKER_02: If they were playing the Bucks and I'm not, I'd be hard.
24:06
SPEAKER_02: Dude, it's at 8:30 p.m.
24:07
SPEAKER_02: I get up at like Bro, it's at 8:30 p.m.
24:10
SPEAKER_02: Oh, okay, that's different.
24:11
SPEAKER_02: Okay, then yeah, that's okay.
24:12
SPEAKER_02: I thought it was 8:30 a.m.
24:14
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, okay.
24:14
SPEAKER_02: So I'd get up at like 10, 10.30 at like halftime, third quarter type shit.
24:19
SPEAKER_02: I'd do that if it was like 8.30 in the morning, but eight.
24:22
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, hell yeah, that's gonna be on Thursday, right?
24:25
SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah, Netflix.
24:26
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
24:26
SPEAKER_02: We gonna if I'm working, we have to fucking sign in somebody Netflix.
24:30
SPEAKER_02: Because I don't want to, I'm not missing that at all.
24:32
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, somebody at work got Netflix.
24:38
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, man.
24:38
SPEAKER_02: You've been having Thursdays off, at least.
24:41
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's crazy.
24:42
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
24:42
SPEAKER_02: And watch you might work at Thursday.
24:45
SPEAKER_02: I'm crazy ass shit.
24:50
SPEAKER_02: Like, can I get that morning?
24:51
SPEAKER_02: But I don't have Netflix on the shit.
24:53
SPEAKER_02: I'll get Netflix for that.
24:54
SPEAKER_01: No, I won't.
25:00
SPEAKER_02: She got Netflix.
25:03
SPEAKER_02: But I got, yeah, we both look like we both got random.
25:08
SPEAKER_02: I think this is gonna be a tough, tough game.
25:11
SPEAKER_02: I can see the Niners pulling it out, but I mean, I think we see Garrett McDonald, fucking Moss, Garrett, Trent McDuffie all on the defense.
25:19
SPEAKER_02: I don't yeah.
25:20
SPEAKER_02: I don't think the Niners offense is gonna be able to.
25:22
SPEAKER_02: And there's another, I can't remember, there's a and they have another good player on the on the defensive line.
25:26
SPEAKER_02: They got three really good fucking defensive linemen.
25:30
SPEAKER_02: Um and this is I don't know if it's gonna be this that's gonna be tough.
25:36
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I don't know, that's gonna be tougher for San Francisco to block that all fucking night.
25:42
SPEAKER_02: Because they gotta double team one or two of them.
25:45
SPEAKER_02: Like if Aaron Donald, even Aaron Donald ain't himself the first game or two or whatever, if it take him a little few games to shake off that rust.
25:54
SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
25:55
SPEAKER_02: It don't even matter.
25:55
SPEAKER_02: They got Miles Garrett, ain't gonna take him no time.
25:58
SPEAKER_02: No.
25:59
SPEAKER_02: Right.
25:59
SPEAKER_02: They gotta double team his ass right off rip.
26:02
SPEAKER_02: So that's gonna leave Aaron Donald one-on-one.
26:05
SPEAKER_01: And then they and I mean, and then they still have, I mean, bro, they don't think.
26:21
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he's he's a he's a cornerback.
26:22
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so that's what I'm saying.
26:24
SPEAKER_02: They got So you got that back there, but you're not really the above, you're not gonna be able to pass.
26:28
SPEAKER_02: He plays everybody by the way.
26:30
SPEAKER_02: He plays mostly slot, though.
26:32
SPEAKER_02: He's he's mostly a slot cornerback.
26:35
SPEAKER_02: Like he'll play outside, but majority of the time he lines up on the slot.
26:41
SPEAKER_02: So he because so he can play, so he can blitz and and or play a little zoner man.
26:47
SPEAKER_02: Like that's why they line him up.
26:48
SPEAKER_02: That's okay.
26:48
SPEAKER_02: I mean, I don't know what the Rams are gonna do, but when he played in Kansas City, he played a lot of slot.
26:54
SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
26:55
SPEAKER_02: Unless, you mean if it's someone like, you know, Jamar Chase or one of those, or Nico Collins, or one of those wide receivers, yeah, then he would he line up more against him.
27:05
SPEAKER_02: Because I mean, I would have seen him line up against Chase a lot.
27:08
SPEAKER_02: Uh, but he just does a little bit of everything, so that's why they line him up in the slot.
27:14
SPEAKER_02: And then you got him who let's see, Ed's rushing off the edge.
27:18
SPEAKER_02: He comes off of an exotic blitz where he looked like he lined up in man coverage, and the next thing you know, the play snaps and he just flies in, and you gotta deal about him.
27:30
SPEAKER_02: Right.
27:30
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you gotta deal with him and Aaron Donald and Miles Garrett and I can't remember another guy's name.
27:36
SPEAKER_02: Look it up.
27:37
SPEAKER_02: But he's for Madden.
27:39
SPEAKER_02: That's what I mean.
27:40
SPEAKER_02: He's like he's like a superstar on Madden, so I can't, but I can't remember his name, so I know he's in the high 80s, low 90s.
27:46
SPEAKER_02: So they got three, four people at one time coming for that quarterback that's fucking two of them are generational talents and arguably the best pass rushers of all time, let alone of their time.
28:02
SPEAKER_02: Like we already know Aaron Donald is up there with Lawrence Taylor and up there with every other, if not better than them.
28:09
SPEAKER_02: And then Miles Garrett is right there.
28:11
SPEAKER_02: The only thing that Miles Garrett needs to get is a ring.
28:14
SPEAKER_02: If he gets a ring, then you know, I mean that's there's nothing that anybody can, it don't matter, he just needs to win.
28:20
SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
28:21
SPEAKER_02: That's why his ass went for Rams.
28:23
SPEAKER_02: He likes You know what I'm saying?
28:25
SPEAKER_02: He likes I want a ring.
28:26
SPEAKER_02: I've been, you know, busting my ass and breaking and setting these records in Cleveland, but ain't got nothing to show for it because we been in the playoffs one time in eight years since I've been here.
28:37
SPEAKER_02: Nine, ten, whatever long has been here.
28:39
SPEAKER_01: I wish I wish that he would have tried to go somewhere else other than the Rams, bro.
28:43
SPEAKER_01: Because he could have he could have went and went went and wanted somewhere else other than the Rams, bro.
28:48
SPEAKER_01: But the Rams, I mean, I mean, it's not like it's not an easy, an easy fucking, it's not like by no means, especially where NFL is at nowadays.
29:00
SPEAKER_01: Like But LA, I feel like, I mean, especially picking up House Garrett, Aaron Donald coming back into it, right?
29:09
SPEAKER_01: Is that not the place to be to fucking win now?
29:13
SPEAKER_01: Right, yeah.
29:13
SPEAKER_01: I mean, that's why it went.
29:14
SPEAKER_01: With fucking Devontae, who I'm pretty sure Mass Staffords.
29:18
SPEAKER_02: I'm pretty sure that you know he probably has some um talks with Aaron Donald definitely maybe before, but definitely after.
29:27
SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
29:28
SPEAKER_02: Like maybe even before, like definitely, you know, has some talks with Aaron Donald.
29:32
SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
29:33
SPEAKER_02: Like people, they always players ain't supposed to fucking talk to whatever or poach whatever other players give me over there.
29:41
SPEAKER_02: Uh, but I believe there's certain players before they link up, they have been in talks with him before.
29:46
SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
29:47
SPEAKER_02: Like, would it maybe not directly, but like, damn, it'd be nice to be able to play with somebody like you, I mean, or such and such.
29:54
SPEAKER_02: I mean, Eric, yeah, I mean, Eric Donald wasn't up the league for too long.
29:58
SPEAKER_02: Right.
29:58
SPEAKER_02: I mean, he's on the only yeah, for two years, he only was out for two years.
30:01
SPEAKER_01: And you know what I'm saying, like Miles Garrett and him probably had somewhat of a relationship off the field, right?
30:08
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, for sure.
30:09
SPEAKER_01: I mean, just be just both playing, both playing defense.
30:13
SPEAKER_02: As soon as he signed with fucking the Rams, it was already talks within the next couple weeks of Aaron.
30:20
SPEAKER_02: Could it be Aaron Donald returning?
30:22
SPEAKER_02: Maybe we've been hearing, you know what I'm saying?
30:24
SPEAKER_02: Like everybody knew it once it was a slight possibility we knew he was coming back.
30:31
SPEAKER_02: Right.
30:31
SPEAKER_02: We just knew when.
30:32
SPEAKER_02: It was just a matter of when.
30:34
SPEAKER_01: Signing, I think it was sixteen, sixteen million one dollar or sixteen million, or oh, is it twenty?
30:39
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I thought it was sixty million.
30:41
SPEAKER_02: He can make up to thirty million with his incentives and all that stuff for uh yeah, for hours for uh one year deal.
30:48
SPEAKER_01: It's a lot 30 million he could make and um me and down both think that uh Rams are gonna win that game against the Niners.
30:57
SPEAKER_01: So yeah, I mean I think it'll be I think it'll be I mean good game.
31:04
SPEAKER_01: I mean Niners will probably stay in it for the I mean for most of the game.
31:09
SPEAKER_01: I think the Rams will probably go ahead late.
31:13
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
31:14
SPEAKER_01: You don't think so?
31:15
SPEAKER_01: I think we'll be pretty pretty close to late.
31:18
unknown: Yeah.
31:23
SPEAKER_02: It's worried about the miners receiving core.
31:26
SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
31:27
SPEAKER_02: Um Mike Evans is a little banged up, Parasel.
31:32
SPEAKER_02: I think it's out.
31:33
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's not a fucking I feel like the Nebo Samuel, the Brands, but they got McCaffrey still, I mean they got George Kittle still, and they got and people say whatever mixed feelings about Brock Purdy, but I like Brock Purdy as a good quarterback.
31:48
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he's not bad.
31:49
SPEAKER_01: He's you know he's not bad.
31:51
SPEAKER_01: If he has I mean if he has Kittle and McCaffrey, but you're going up against Stafford, Puka, Devante.
31:57
SPEAKER_01: You still got um uh what am I Kyron Williams?
32:01
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Kyron Williams, Blake, Blake Horns coming in Blake's coming into a nice number two quarterback, Trey Warner over there.
32:10
SPEAKER_01: That's uh Tyler Higby.
32:12
SPEAKER_01: Is there a tight end?
32:13
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so you gotta nice low receiving core over there in LA, and you and then you gotta get past that defense.
32:20
SPEAKER_01: The defense is no joke.
32:22
SPEAKER_01: You're going up against the best defense in the first week of the season.
32:26
SPEAKER_01: So I don't think the Rams are gonna lose that game.
32:30
SPEAKER_01: Um but the Niners, I don't think we'll have a bad season.
32:34
SPEAKER_01: A lot of people are really up on the Niners.
32:36
SPEAKER_01: Um depends on how their wideouts do.
32:40
SPEAKER_01: Um I mean, and also the defense.
32:42
SPEAKER_01: If uh Mike Evans can have a relatively healthy season, who's their who's their other season?
32:49
SPEAKER_01: Debo Ricky Persell, is he out or is he how's he looking?
32:58
SPEAKER_01: He was looking pretty good last year.
33:01
SPEAKER_01: I mean he was having a lot of yards and I mean some big games.
33:09
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he's always PCL.
33:16
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, no, I mean they sound yeah, you know, they sound Debo back might have a little bit of something, but I honestly don't mind if the nine years are mine.
33:26
SPEAKER_01: I like the I mean I don't I don't like the I mean it's tough, bro, because the Rams definitely just have on on paper on paper the best team, the best defense, one of the one of the best offenses.
33:41
SPEAKER_01: I mean that kind of combines that to just be an A plus team or like an A minus.
33:47
SPEAKER_01: So I mean I definitely just see them coming out of this division.
33:52
SPEAKER_01: Like at the like at the end of it, the Seahawks yeah.
33:58
SPEAKER_02: Niners around, I think it was the best two teams in the vision.
34:01
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
34:02
SPEAKER_01: I mean, just depending on how the Niners can come come through the middle, middle of the end of the season, they can say they had available.
34:14
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, really good last year.
34:15
SPEAKER_02: They ran into Seattle and lost and you know, lost to the champs, the eventual champs.
34:23
SPEAKER_02: They beat Philly their first round, made it to division round.
34:26
SPEAKER_02: So they had a good season last year.
34:28
SPEAKER_02: So there's no reason to count 49ers out this year.
34:33
SPEAKER_02: I mean, it was missing Bosa, Bosa will be back, Fred Warner would be back.
34:38
SPEAKER_02: That defense would be a little bit better.
34:40
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, for sure.
34:41
SPEAKER_02: But moving forward, uh Bills and Texas will split on this one.
34:48
SPEAKER_02: You think uh Texans are gonna come into that one?
34:52
SPEAKER_02: Upset the Bills?
34:53
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, missing Houston.
34:55
SPEAKER_02: Um defense.
34:59
SPEAKER_02: No joke.
35:00
SPEAKER_02: I think something gonna make it real tough for Josh Allen.
35:05
SPEAKER_01: Or did I did I beat you last night with the Texans?
35:08
SPEAKER_01: Or or no?
35:14
SPEAKER_01: Okay, you came back.
35:15
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, because I do just remember that one game when I was playing with the Texans.
35:21
SPEAKER_02: I only played one game, remember?
35:22
SPEAKER_02: Because I played my franchise game after that.
35:25
SPEAKER_02: And then I and then you started playing uh online and I rematched to do our franchise again.
35:31
SPEAKER_02: And you just playing your shit off on the Saints.
35:34
SPEAKER_01: The game that we played last last time was probably the closest one.
35:37
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was definitely the closest one we had.
35:41
SPEAKER_01: I forgot you got the Texas.
35:42
SPEAKER_01: I played that with the Texans, I probably had like three or four stops.
35:47
SPEAKER_01: Huh?
35:47
SPEAKER_01: What did I have?
35:50
SPEAKER_01: I don't even remember.
35:52
SPEAKER_01: I feel like no, you didn't have sex.
35:56
SPEAKER_02: I can't remember.
35:57
SPEAKER_02: I don't remember who the fuck I had.
35:59
SPEAKER_02: But uh, yeah, I got I got I think the Texans, you know, CJ Stroud is a very important year for him.
36:05
SPEAKER_02: This is big.
36:05
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he hasn't got extended yet.
36:08
SPEAKER_01: Um he's got, I mean, a lot of the same receiving core.
36:14
SPEAKER_01: He's had Nico, he's had a lot of time to kind of connect with his receiving core Nico back.
36:21
SPEAKER_01: And he's also got a new piece.
36:22
SPEAKER_01: Big loss.
36:22
SPEAKER_01: He also got a new piece in Montgomery as well.
36:25
SPEAKER_02: Yep, and a big loss in Higgins.
36:27
SPEAKER_02: That was big.
36:28
SPEAKER_02: Uh I think I think uh Keyshawn Booty is uh is is uh Tank Dell?
36:34
SPEAKER_02: Tank Dell's gonna be good going into this year.
36:36
SPEAKER_02: They got Keyshawn Booty in a trade from New England.
36:39
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no, so that's a good thing.
36:40
SPEAKER_02: That's a good pickup.
36:41
SPEAKER_02: Then they picked up two receivers, I can't remember who it was.
36:47
SPEAKER_02: Zay was it Zay, I can't say something.
36:50
SPEAKER_02: I can't remember.
36:51
SPEAKER_02: They picked up two um receivers from a free agency.
36:55
SPEAKER_02: So they got Montgomery.
36:57
SPEAKER_02: Um the offensive line is still a little bit worrisome for me.
37:02
SPEAKER_02: And that to me kind of played a big part in CJ Stroud struggling.
37:08
SPEAKER_02: Um other than his first year.
37:10
SPEAKER_02: In the first year he played good, I think, because he was a rookie, and you don't have any tape on him.
37:16
SPEAKER_02: You only got tape from college, and it's hard to fucking scheme around for college.
37:22
SPEAKER_02: But you know, so he came out, he surprised everybody.
37:25
SPEAKER_02: Houston had a good year.
37:26
SPEAKER_01: After that first, second year.
37:27
SPEAKER_01: And then you can kind of see how he used to be a good one.
37:29
SPEAKER_02: The second year he had around the power injuries, the second year, and then last year he kind of slumped a little bit as well.
37:37
SPEAKER_02: So this year he knows the big year.
37:39
SPEAKER_02: Uh Houston knows the big year.
37:42
SPEAKER_02: Um, and they don't want to let him go.
37:43
SPEAKER_02: Obviously, that's that's the last thing they want because then you gotta basically start over.
37:48
SPEAKER_02: Right?
37:48
SPEAKER_02: Because they're not gonna be, unless they just completely fall flat, they're not gonna be in position next year to get a good quarterback um or the quarterback that they probably want because they're gonna be, you know, probably make the playoffs this year.
38:04
SPEAKER_02: If not, make the playoffs be close.
38:06
SPEAKER_02: I mean, he's made the playoffs in two of his first three years.
38:09
SPEAKER_02: So I would think that they'll make the playoffs.
38:12
SPEAKER_02: Their division isn't that hard.
38:14
SPEAKER_02: Jacksonville is a question mark always.
38:16
SPEAKER_02: You never know what Trevor Lawrence.
38:18
SPEAKER_02: They lost Travis Etienne.
38:20
SPEAKER_02: Um, the defense would be solid, but we don't know what Jacksonville, Indiana.
38:24
SPEAKER_02: We don't know what Indiana, and then Tennessee, no one's really expecting Tennessee to be much of a threat.
38:29
SPEAKER_02: So, you know, they don't have an opponent in their division that's dominated, right?
38:34
SPEAKER_02: They don't have that one opponent where they're like, you know what I'm saying?
38:36
SPEAKER_02: So Houston more than likely will probably win that division again this year like they did last year.
38:42
SPEAKER_02: Um, so you know, like I said, it's it's a big year for him.
38:45
SPEAKER_02: It's the only thing, the one thing that that fixes when you struggle is if you win.
38:51
SPEAKER_02: So if he goes out and has another bad year, but they win the Super Bowl, then he they're not gonna replace him, right?
38:58
SPEAKER_02: You won a Super Bowl, like you know what I'm saying?
39:01
SPEAKER_02: And do I think it's gonna happen?
39:03
SPEAKER_02: No, but you know, a year ago at this time, last year, if we'd have said Seattle was gonna win the Super Bowl, people with Sam Downer as a starting quarterback, a lot of people want to believe that.
39:13
SPEAKER_02: No, right?
39:14
SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
39:14
SPEAKER_02: So, you know, anything can happen, but you know, if Houston finds himself in the AFC championship game or Super Bowl and they lose or whatever, you know, if CJ Stroud plays mediocre to okay, then he'll be fine.
39:28
SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
39:29
SPEAKER_02: But if he just straight shits the bed this year, they don't make the playoffs, then it's a wrap for him.
39:35
SPEAKER_02: Like they're gonna move forward, you know what I'm saying?
39:38
SPEAKER_02: But like I said, you know, if they go out in the first round and he doesn't play good, they're gonna be drafting in the 21st, in the 20s.
39:48
SPEAKER_02: So they're not gonna get that fucking Dante Moore, the Arch Manning, the Julian Sand, those quarterbacks coming in from college, they're not gonna be able to get those, they're gonna be gone.
39:58
SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
39:59
SPEAKER_02: So then you gotta like, what do you do?
40:01
SPEAKER_02: Do you pay him a little bit, franchise tag him, and try to give him another year, or do you just drive the court?
40:07
SPEAKER_02: So, you know, with that being said, I think CJ Stroud knows the pressure on his arm.
40:12
SPEAKER_02: Um, so I got Houston, like I said, winning first games.
40:17
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
40:18
SPEAKER_02: You know, Montgomery might have a good game.
40:20
SPEAKER_02: And that blood that Bill's defense, man, I'm gonna tell you what, is old.
40:24
SPEAKER_02: And they are that's the question mark for Buffalo.
40:29
SPEAKER_02: If you ask me, is that defense?
40:31
SPEAKER_02: They don't, I mean, their best players probably um Gregory Russo was a defensive man.
40:44
SPEAKER_02: He's 28, 27, Ed Oliver is a defensive tackle, he's in his 30s.
40:52
SPEAKER_02: Um their linebackers are a little old.
40:55
SPEAKER_02: They didn't bring back Matt Milano.
40:58
SPEAKER_02: The cornerback, Bernard is probably their best cornerback.
41:01
SPEAKER_02: Like they have holes on that defense everywhere.
41:05
SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
41:05
SPEAKER_02: That's one thing that people that you know they're not really talking about just because Josh Allen is there in the offense.
41:11
SPEAKER_02: We'll be good again because Josh Allen, James Cook, we brought in um uh Moore from BJ Moore from Chicago.
41:19
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you know, you still got Shakur, you got Kincaid, you got Knox, you have, you know what I mean.
41:24
SPEAKER_02: So the offense, but I'm telling you that defense, I think, is gonna have some issues.
41:30
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, they're gonna get picked a little, they're gonna get picked on by good teams.
41:32
SPEAKER_01: Get picked on by good teams.
41:34
SPEAKER_01: I mean, dude, they got I mean, luckily they don't worry about New England or anything.
41:39
SPEAKER_01: Not gotta worry about New England.
41:42
SPEAKER_01: They're open their home against so we'll see.
41:46
SPEAKER_01: We'll see how I mean that'll be a big season.
41:48
SPEAKER_02: Buffalo can start off 0-2.
41:50
SPEAKER_02: I mean, yeah.
41:50
SPEAKER_02: Or they can start off two.
41:51
SPEAKER_02: 2-0.
41:52
SPEAKER_02: Or one-and-one or whatever.
41:54
SPEAKER_02: But you know, they could very well find themselves in an 0-2 hole to start off the season.
42:00
SPEAKER_02: You know, but I don't know.
42:02
SPEAKER_02: I don't think they're I don't think y'all are gonna get to come into Buffalo in that new stadium on a Thursday night prime time.
42:09
SPEAKER_02: I don't see Josh Allen losing that game.
42:11
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I just don't.
42:12
SPEAKER_02: I y'all could, but I'm just you know, that that that energy from a new stadium is just built, it's fresh.
42:20
SPEAKER_02: Like, especially if they're coming off a loss, right?
42:22
SPEAKER_02: Especially if if if they coming off a loss in Houston.
42:25
SPEAKER_02: For sure.
42:26
SPEAKER_02: Y'all bet y'all better off if if Buffalo wins, right?
42:29
SPEAKER_02: Buffalo goes into Houston, it's a hard fought game.
42:33
SPEAKER_02: You know, energy has been expensive.
42:35
SPEAKER_02: Like, I that, but if they lose against Houston coming home, they're gonna be mad as hell.
42:40
SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
42:41
SPEAKER_02: Josh Allen, why you know what?
42:43
SPEAKER_01: But but I mean, brother, I mean, the main thing you were just saying, bro.
42:46
SPEAKER_01: I mean, you say they come in off a loss.
42:49
SPEAKER_01: You say they come in off a loss against the Texans, they're going up against a better offense than Detroit.
42:54
SPEAKER_01: That defense is gonna be rattled.
42:56
SPEAKER_01: That defense just got beat by Houston.
42:58
SPEAKER_02: But your defense ain't as good as Houston's, so it's gonna offset each other.
43:01
SPEAKER_02: They're going, they're going against they were Houston had a number one defense last year.
43:06
SPEAKER_02: They're going into this season as the reigning champs as far as defense, like as far as having the best number wise yardage quarterback rating on that shit.
43:16
SPEAKER_02: Houston had the best defense last year.
43:18
SPEAKER_02: And they didn't, they brought everybody back, and then they added Reed Blake and shit from Philadelphia to that.
43:24
SPEAKER_02: So that defense barring in the injuries, that defense is gonna write off rip.
43:29
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's gonna be lights out.
43:30
SPEAKER_02: They're ready to go, and they're young.
43:31
SPEAKER_02: That's the thing, is like there, it's a balance between young and old.
43:34
SPEAKER_02: Stingley is 25, fucking Al Shazier is 27, 28, you got Will Anderson 24.
43:41
SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
43:42
SPEAKER_02: Like, you got to mix re blankership is like 24, 25.
43:45
SPEAKER_02: Caleb Bullock is young, fucking Jordan Petrie is young, Cam Lasseter is young.
43:52
SPEAKER_02: Like that, bro.
43:52
SPEAKER_02: They have three corners that can lock motherfuckers down.
43:57
SPEAKER_02: Stingley, who is arguably, he's up there with Chris.
44:00
SPEAKER_02: Like arguably the best corner you could argue is the best cornerback.
44:03
SPEAKER_02: You got Cam Lasser, who's is the best slot cornerback in the game, other than Trent McDuffie.
44:09
SPEAKER_02: And then you have Jordan Petrie, who is a top seven, top ten corner.
44:14
SPEAKER_02: Like they have three locked down fucking corners, dude.
44:16
SPEAKER_02: And then you have two safeties up top that can cover as well.
44:20
SPEAKER_02: Kalen Bullock is an up-and-coming safety, and Reed Blankership is a good safety.
44:24
SPEAKER_02: And then not to mention, you have uh two two out or not, or uh Tua Toa, who is a uh a good linebacker, Al Shazir is a good linebacker, and then you have that line with Will Anderson and Daniel Hunter on each end.
44:38
SPEAKER_02: That's just like that defense is disgusting, dude.
44:41
SPEAKER_02: Like that that's they just have motherfuckers hark and everything.
44:44
SPEAKER_02: They were one and four last year, dude.
44:46
SPEAKER_02: They were one and four or one and five last year in the first six or seven games, and then they won eight in a row, mainly because of that fucking defense.
44:54
SPEAKER_02: Like that defense just started locking shit in and Houston was still struggling offensively.
44:59
SPEAKER_02: Stroud was still not playing good, but that defense was just locking shit up and getting them in good field position.
45:05
SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
45:06
SPEAKER_02: Like they the only game I remember where they gave up a lot was against Jacksonville.
45:10
SPEAKER_01: They gave up it's I mean, dude, I mean it's definitely a big season for Stroud then, bro.
45:14
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
45:15
SPEAKER_01: I mean But tell me why you got Buffalo just Josh Allen.
45:18
SPEAKER_01: I mean, yeah, I mean just kind of Josh Allen, just kind of going in first game of the year, but I didn't realize it was at Houston.
45:26
SPEAKER_01: That kind of plays a little bit of a part into it.
45:28
SPEAKER_01: Um got the home in the ways on there, but I mean I can definitely definitely I mean I can definitely see it being a close game.
45:36
SPEAKER_01: Oh I do.
45:36
SPEAKER_02: Um the teams on the right are all home.
45:39
SPEAKER_02: Or the teams on the left.
45:40
SPEAKER_02: Oh, the teams on the left is all the way home.
45:41
SPEAKER_02: Okay, that's all I got.
45:42
SPEAKER_02: I got you.
45:44
SPEAKER_01: Um, I mean, I think that'd be a close game.
45:47
SPEAKER_01: Maybe going into the fourth quarter, Texas keep it a low scoring game.
45:51
SPEAKER_01: Um I mean we'll see see if the Bills can clutch it up, or we'll see if I'm uh I mean we'll see if CJ we'll see we'll see how CJ plays his role because I mean that's also I mean that's also on their Texas offense.
46:03
SPEAKER_01: I mean the last game we saw four picks.
46:07
SPEAKER_01: So in the first half.
46:10
SPEAKER_01: I don't know the Bills offense or the Bills defense isn't isn't um isn't amazing in its question marks, but we'll see how they're doing the first game against uh against a not amazing Texas offense.
46:25
SPEAKER_01: I mean it's not a good thing.
46:27
SPEAKER_01: I mean they're middle middle of pass.
46:29
SPEAKER_01: I mean it's not bad.
46:30
SPEAKER_01: They definitely have some options.
46:31
SPEAKER_02: If Stroud plays good and they I mean if he can get back to that rookie year, if he can get back to there, they have a very good chance of winning the Super Bowl.
46:39
SPEAKER_01: If they if he can play they could be nice, if he can play halfway of what Sam Darnold.
46:47
SPEAKER_01: If Stroud's going for two, three touchdowns, and then Montgomery's getting in for one, and then I mean I mean look look at look at Seattle last year, right?
46:57
SPEAKER_02: Like it's kind of similar.
46:59
SPEAKER_02: Seattle had a dominant defense, Sam Darnold played good, they had one dominant receiver and a good running back, right?
47:06
SPEAKER_02: You had JSN who didn't drop anything and got 10 plus catches every fucking game, and then you had Kenneth Walker who played good, and and Sam Darnold didn't play great until the playoffs.
47:21
SPEAKER_02: I mean, he was up and down.
47:22
SPEAKER_02: He had fucking seven, he only had what 18 or 19 touchdowns and like 11 interceptions last year.
47:27
SPEAKER_02: So he turned the ball over a little bit, but in the playoffs he didn't.
47:31
SPEAKER_02: So it's kind of the same makeup with Houston.
47:33
SPEAKER_02: Like that defense is gonna all CJ Stroud has to do is not turn the ball over.
47:39
SPEAKER_02: And that right there is enough to get them to the first round.
47:44
SPEAKER_02: I'm just gonna say that right now.
47:45
SPEAKER_02: Like they have if if he but if he plays phenomenal, if he plays really good MVP, I don't see a team beating him.
47:56
SPEAKER_01: That's fair.
47:56
SPEAKER_02: I'm just gonna say that right now.
47:58
SPEAKER_02: I mean, they and they have the advantage of playing inside of a dome where they don't need no weather.
48:03
SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
48:04
SPEAKER_02: Some teams that are outside, they're not used to that.
48:06
SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
48:06
SPEAKER_02: They're used to that fucking playing outside.
48:08
SPEAKER_02: So, you know, a dome team to me, out of those two, they're gonna have, you know, uh, uh, uh, the bigger advantage.
48:18
SPEAKER_03: So, I mean, we'll see, though.
48:19
SPEAKER_02: I mean, but you just he said but but what are you gonna say?
48:23
SPEAKER_02: The Bills are still gonna come away with it.
48:26
SPEAKER_02: And Mike, Josh Allen, but Josh Allen got to not turn that ball over.
48:30
SPEAKER_02: And that's one thing also you gotta put in consideration is he is is is known to turn somebody like he did against Jacksonville last year when they should have won that game, right?
48:42
SPEAKER_02: You should no Mahomes, no Burrow, no Jackson.
48:47
SPEAKER_02: Why are you I mean, those just what else you got?
48:50
SPEAKER_02: I mean, he lost to Trevor Fucking Lawrence.
48:52
SPEAKER_02: It's all right, bro.
48:53
SPEAKER_02: It's week one.
48:54
SPEAKER_02: So like I said, maybe have to fucking come up.
48:58
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, well, he better not turn.
48:59
SPEAKER_02: He turned that bitch over.
49:00
SPEAKER_02: He come out right and it's halftime, and he got two interceptions, and he got two interceptions, that bitch is over.
49:08
SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna look at you and be like, I told you.
49:11
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
49:12
SPEAKER_02: Well, he's gonna be listening, and this thing is right here.
49:15
SPEAKER_02: Well, we're gonna get to that, but it's gonna be thing.
49:17
SPEAKER_02: He's gonna be like, he might even be 11 for 18 for 164 yards in the first half.
49:22
SPEAKER_02: But then you look at that stat one like, oh shit, he got two picks and a fumble.
49:26
SPEAKER_02: They're losing.
49:29
SPEAKER_02: I'll tell you that right now.
49:30
SPEAKER_02: He got the orphan in the wind, he gotta not turn the ball over.
49:34
SPEAKER_02: It's not gonna be doing nothing.
49:36
SPEAKER_02: Look at their success, bro.
49:37
SPEAKER_02: Look at the bills.
49:38
SPEAKER_02: When when when the bills win, when they play good, Josh Allen doesn't turn the ball over.
49:44
SPEAKER_01: It's probably gonna be a 3-3 ball.
49:47
SPEAKER_02: That's that's a Houston game.
49:48
SPEAKER_02: That's what they want.
49:49
SPEAKER_02: That's not what Josh Allen wants.
49:51
SPEAKER_02: He wants it to be pretty and he wants to win by 10-15.
49:54
SPEAKER_02: But getting it close to them close games, he don't play good in them close games.
49:58
SPEAKER_02: But then you come, yeah, but then he's gonna be.
50:04
SPEAKER_02: Look at his numbers.
50:05
SPEAKER_02: I mean, he had a chance to win against Jacksonville, and I think he threw an interception in that last drive last year, if I'm not wrong.
50:10
SPEAKER_02: He's gotta get up.
50:11
SPEAKER_02: Right?
50:12
SPEAKER_02: AFC divisional game on the line.
50:14
SPEAKER_02: What does he do?
50:15
SPEAKER_02: Interception or a goddamn fumble.
50:18
SPEAKER_02: Can't do that.
50:19
SPEAKER_02: The one thing you can't do, he does.
50:21
SPEAKER_01: So let's get over into the next game.
50:25
SPEAKER_01: Next game, talking about your boys.
50:28
SPEAKER_01: Important game.
50:29
SPEAKER_01: Uh very important.
50:31
SPEAKER_01: Against uh your boys' bucks.
50:33
SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.
50:34
SPEAKER_01: Uh did you play that franchise game or yet or no?
50:38
SPEAKER_01: What do you mean like offline or online?
50:41
SPEAKER_01: Against uh against that dude who wanted to rematch.
50:43
SPEAKER_01: He said he was playing with his biggest.
50:44
SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah, he won.
50:45
SPEAKER_01: He was playing with his bucks, he won.
50:47
SPEAKER_01: It's tough, bro.
50:48
SPEAKER_01: He won by one point.
50:51
SPEAKER_02: That's the extra point.
50:54
SPEAKER_02: 19 of 20.
50:55
SPEAKER_02: He should have gone for two.
50:57
SPEAKER_02: Dan Campbell went, baby.
50:59
SPEAKER_02: I don't even know what happened.
51:01
SPEAKER_02: I can't remember.
51:02
SPEAKER_02: Or I don't know.
51:03
SPEAKER_02: I think he got he scored in the last or some shit.
51:07
SPEAKER_02: I can't remember.
51:07
SPEAKER_02: I I can't remember.
51:08
SPEAKER_02: But it was a good ass game, bro.
51:10
SPEAKER_01: Well, so is that kind of a representation of what might happen in this week one?
51:16
SPEAKER_02: No.
51:17
SPEAKER_01: Not at all.
51:18
SPEAKER_01: A little bangles.
51:19
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I know that's uh I know that's I know that's kind of been uh typical for you guys to lose some close gets in the first few weeks.
51:27
SPEAKER_02: I don't expect Burrow to play past years.
51:29
SPEAKER_02: I don't expect Burrow to play fantastic that first game.
51:33
SPEAKER_02: I don't I don't he always starts off slow.
51:37
SPEAKER_02: We started off three and one last year, um, but he didn't play good.
51:43
SPEAKER_02: Uh he didn't play good until he's more of a you know November, December type of quarterback.
51:49
SPEAKER_02: When it gets to that point, that's when he plays his best.
51:51
SPEAKER_01: He's gotta start being a fucking.
51:52
SPEAKER_02: No, I think it's defense.
51:54
SPEAKER_02: If that defense, if that'll be the turn until, right?
51:56
SPEAKER_02: If the defense, that's what I'm looking at right now.
51:59
SPEAKER_02: If our defense, if we win, okay, if we go out and we win 17 to 13, right?
52:05
SPEAKER_02: But the defense gets three turnovers, I'm okay with that.
52:10
SPEAKER_02: I'm if they if I look at the stat line and Baker Mayfield has 221 yards, but he has three interceptions or two interceptions.
52:20
SPEAKER_01: Are you okay with Joe, you know, one touchdown?
52:22
SPEAKER_02: No, I'm okay with us winning the game.
52:24
SPEAKER_02: I don't care what you as long as Joe is upright at the end of the game and we win, I'm okay with that.
52:29
SPEAKER_02: Even if we lose, I'm gonna be honest with you.
52:31
SPEAKER_02: If we come out and lose, I already know it's gonna be a lot of a lot of static, right?
52:36
SPEAKER_02: But if Joe Burrow is upright, that's all I care about.
52:42
SPEAKER_02: That defense shows me something.
52:43
SPEAKER_02: If we go out and lose, but it's because even if Joe throws a pick, right?
52:47
SPEAKER_02: Say he throws a pick at the end or we fumble or some bullshit like that happens.
52:51
SPEAKER_02: I mean, he I mean I'm okay with that if we don't give up fucking 30 points.
52:54
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I mean, I mean, he I mean he's I mean he's gonna throw four or five picks, so it's just kind of like I mean, it's it's just kind of like just just what just just depending on well, just I mean, just what game so happened.
53:05
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I mean, just what game so's happened like I mean because I mean because like you know what's gonna happen, it's all situational, you know what I'm saying?
53:13
SPEAKER_02: So like it's all but another thing, I'll tell you another thing depends on Jamar Chase and yo ass is why I tagged you in that on Facebook.
53:21
SPEAKER_02: But two days later, after you like see, bro, I'm telling you, Chase, is he always healthy?
53:28
SPEAKER_02: And then what the fuck happens when I wake up the next goddamn day, bro?
53:33
SPEAKER_02: I said, are you fuck?
53:34
SPEAKER_02: I was about to cry, bro.
53:37
SPEAKER_02: I said, bro, this dude don't say anything else about Burrow or Chase or any sense of the stuff.
53:47
SPEAKER_02: Don't do it.
53:48
SPEAKER_02: That's I don't care.
53:48
SPEAKER_02: We need Chase.
53:50
SPEAKER_02: We need Chase.
53:51
SPEAKER_02: We need Burrow, we need the whole team.
53:53
SPEAKER_02: We need everybody to put together put together a healthy season like we did in 2021, 2022.
54:00
SPEAKER_02: We went to the AFC Championship game and the Super Bowl.
54:03
SPEAKER_02: We need that.
54:04
SPEAKER_02: If Burrow is healthy, I'm okay.
54:07
SPEAKER_02: I know this for a fact.
54:08
SPEAKER_02: The defense is not going to be as bad or worse than last year.
54:12
SPEAKER_02: I know that for a fact.
54:13
SPEAKER_02: It may not be top 10, but as long as they're top 15, whatever, that's fine.
54:19
SPEAKER_02: Like, the offense is going to do the rest.
54:21
SPEAKER_02: Burrow, as long as the defense isn't terrible and Burrow is healthy, we're going to make the playoffs from default.
54:28
SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
54:30
SPEAKER_01: I'm excited to see it, bro.
54:31
SPEAKER_01: I'm excited to see the last full year.
54:35
SPEAKER_02: That Burrow had a playoff push.
54:38
SPEAKER_02: If you want to fucking get in there, but the last full season that Burrow had, you know, the offense did everything.
54:45
SPEAKER_02: The defense gave up 29, 30 points a game, was ranked 30, 32nd.
54:51
SPEAKER_02: The offense is ranked third.
54:53
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, the offense is ranked third.
54:54
SPEAKER_02: Burrow had a career year: 45 touchdowns, eight interceptions, 4,700 passing yards.
55:01
SPEAKER_02: And we did exactly, that's my point.
55:03
SPEAKER_02: So if Burrow is healthy in the defense, like I said, when you add sexy decks, you add Jonathan.
55:10
SPEAKER_02: Sexy decks.
55:11
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, sexy decks, Jonathan Allen, Brian Cook, Boye Mafe, you add these players, they're not, you know what I'm saying?
55:19
SPEAKER_02: I that's an upgrade from what we had last year.
55:22
SPEAKER_02: That's all I know.
55:23
SPEAKER_02: So, you know what I mean?
55:24
SPEAKER_02: Like, we're going against, it'll be a little challenge here, but not really.
55:28
SPEAKER_02: Only person we really got to worry about and receiving in is Ibuka.
55:32
SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
55:33
SPEAKER_02: Buckeye.
55:34
SPEAKER_02: You know.
55:35
SPEAKER_02: So uh, but like I said, that the Tampa Bay, that defense is a little bit old as well.
55:44
SPEAKER_02: The offense, um, they don't really, they got Chris God winning Ibuka.
55:48
SPEAKER_02: You have Bruce Irving, K Dottin, which is formal.
55:52
SPEAKER_02: So, you know, this would be a good little test for us to see, you know, first game of the season, middle to tier, good team, like a team that's you know, playoff contender, right?
56:02
SPEAKER_02: They're not looking to win a Super Bowl, but Tampa Bay should be in a playoff position.
56:08
SPEAKER_01: They don't want to get off to a lost start of every year.
56:12
SPEAKER_01: Baker, Baker is definitely always fucking a fucking quarterback that is better than that.
56:18
SPEAKER_02: But but if we come out, if we come out and straight and we straight smack them, if it's the opposite of what it's been, if we come out and Burrow is clicking and offense clicking, and we come out and we fuck around and smack them 28-10, 31-10, then it's Super Bowl in my head.
56:41
SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna tell you right now, if Burrow, like it's all on Burrow.
56:44
SPEAKER_02: It's all on Burrow.
56:45
SPEAKER_01: You can't think about that.
56:46
SPEAKER_01: You can't think about that that after week one against against the Bucks, bro.
56:50
SPEAKER_01: Well, I can't.
56:51
SPEAKER_01: If we go out there and they straight dominate, it depends on how much.
56:55
SPEAKER_02: You were going up against the top 10 team.
56:57
SPEAKER_02: Nah, if we go out there and dominate, bro, um, listen, if we go out there and it's everything I'm hoping that every Cincinnati fan is hoping, then all our our hope is Joe Burrow.
57:10
SPEAKER_02: That's what it fought.
57:11
SPEAKER_02: If he's healthy, because we like, all right, we got the defense we need, right?
57:14
SPEAKER_02: It's Baker Bayfield, but and it's not fucking, you know, the Rams, or it's not goddamn.
57:20
SPEAKER_01: I mean, you guys got you guys, you gotta wait till those Baltimore matchups.
57:25
SPEAKER_01: That's different.
57:26
SPEAKER_01: That's hard to judge.
57:27
SPEAKER_02: That's different to judge because it's divisional.
57:29
SPEAKER_02: I mean, that's hard to say.
57:30
SPEAKER_02: Divisional, they can blow it.
57:32
SPEAKER_02: They if Baltimore comes, we if we play Baltimore, which the first game is in Baltimore, if they go out and they smack us a first game, I'm not worried about it.
57:41
SPEAKER_02: I'm not.
57:42
SPEAKER_02: That's not something I'm not because Baltimore Borough record against Jamar Jackson, Lamar is not good, and we've 10, they beat us the last.
57:52
SPEAKER_02: But what matters is that game in week 16 or 15 when it's in Cincinnati, that Thursday night game, how we respond.
58:00
SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
58:01
SPEAKER_02: That's what what I'm looking at.
58:02
SPEAKER_02: You mean I'm not Baltimore, I know we're not gonna lose to Pittsburgh.
58:05
SPEAKER_02: Not worried about Cleveland.
58:07
SPEAKER_02: Miles Garrett isn't there anymore.
58:09
SPEAKER_02: I'm not really worried about Cleveland.
58:10
SPEAKER_02: You think so?
58:12
SPEAKER_01: You're thinking you're on 4-0 against Cleveland, Cleveland and Pittsburgh?
58:16
SPEAKER_02: We'll probably lose one against Pittsburgh.
58:18
SPEAKER_02: We'll probably lose that in Pittsburgh, we'll probably lose one and we'll split with Baltimore.
58:24
SPEAKER_02: So I think we'll go four, four or five and whatever, five and two in that division.
58:28
SPEAKER_02: I think we'll lose one to Baltimore, one to Pittsburgh, sweep Cleveland.
58:31
SPEAKER_02: Um, like I said, one we just got to get through the first three, four games because we have them, then we have the Texans, and then we have Steelers mixed involved in their Jacksonville and Baltimore.
58:45
SPEAKER_02: If we can get out of that four and one, three and two, whatever, then we have shit like the Jets, the Raiders, the Giants.
58:54
SPEAKER_02: Like we have a stretch of like Tennessee.
58:56
SPEAKER_02: It's like seven, eight games, or they're all teams that didn't make the playoffs from last year.
59:00
SPEAKER_02: So if we can get through that this beginning of the season, positive, we're good.
59:06
SPEAKER_02: You guys should be winning this up.
59:09
SPEAKER_02: So, you know, I the Bucs, I just think they're, you know, an expiring team.
59:14
SPEAKER_02: They don't know what they're gonna do with Baker Mayfield.
59:17
SPEAKER_02: They don't know if they want to draft another quarterback.
59:20
SPEAKER_02: They don't want, they don't know if they want to fucking give him an extension.
59:23
SPEAKER_02: It's a lot of limbo uh going on in that division.
59:27
SPEAKER_02: Um I feel like I mean I feel like the stronger part of the Bucks team is their defense right now.
59:32
SPEAKER_02: If anything.
59:33
SPEAKER_02: Right, yeah.
59:33
SPEAKER_02: If anything, exactly.
59:35
SPEAKER_02: And then like coaching, because Todd Bull's a good coach, but he's a defensive coach, so and I deep, so that's what keeps that defense, you know, involved.
59:44
SPEAKER_02: And they might bounce back and win the division, you know, this year.
59:47
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, this yeah.
59:48
SPEAKER_02: I mean, because you look at the last when they last year they started off 6-2.
59:52
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, right?
59:53
SPEAKER_02: I mean, they started off really fucking really good.
59:56
SPEAKER_02: And then that off, I mean they got injuries, and the defense got banged up.
1:00:00
SPEAKER_02: Mike Evans got hurt for a substantial amount of time, and a lot of that was successful Ibuka, but I mean, once again, he's a he was a rookie last year, you don't know what to expect.
1:00:11
SPEAKER_02: It took teams a little bit to get adjusted to him, and he's seen he started off the first in the first five games with like fucking 400 yards and five touchdowns.
1:00:19
SPEAKER_02: Like he was going crazy, and then they clamped his ass up.
1:00:23
SPEAKER_01: Because Mike Evans got hurt.
1:00:25
SPEAKER_01: No, I mean Tampa, yeah, I mean, offense is definitely a bit of a question mark for sure.
1:00:31
SPEAKER_01: Losing Mike Evans, putting a bit of trust into their younger guys for sure.
1:00:36
SPEAKER_01: So we'll see.
1:00:38
SPEAKER_01: We'll see how that first game is looking for.
1:00:40
SPEAKER_01: But I mean, I I mean you guys definitely have a better offense going into that game, but you're going into a team that has a better defense.
1:00:49
SPEAKER_01: Maybe we do.
1:00:52
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I'll favor you.
1:00:54
SPEAKER_01: I mean, but I mean, I mean, I'm not I'm not I'm not saying that you that they have a better defense than you do.
1:00:59
SPEAKER_01: But I'm saying they have a better defense.
1:01:04
SPEAKER_02: I mean not even a better defense, but like mostly I mean coming into this issue.
1:01:12
SPEAKER_01: Their defense is better than their offense.
1:01:14
SPEAKER_01: That's what I'm saying.
1:01:17
SPEAKER_01: Oh no.
1:01:19
SPEAKER_01: You gotta see what your defense is about.
1:01:22
SPEAKER_01: So it could potentially be a pretty good game first week of the season.
1:01:26
SPEAKER_02: Don't let sexy decks get in there, man.
1:01:28
SPEAKER_02: It could cause some havoc, baby.
1:01:30
SPEAKER_02: Yes, sir.
1:01:31
SPEAKER_02: It could cause some havoc, you know.
1:01:33
SPEAKER_02: This big ass.
1:01:35

1:01:37
SPEAKER_02: Don't tell me, man.
1:01:39
SPEAKER_02: They're gonna find out about Lawrence.
1:01:41
SPEAKER_02: They're gonna see.
1:01:42
SPEAKER_02: He played for the Giants the last since this he got drafted by the Giants.
1:01:46
SPEAKER_02: They ain't been good since he got drafted.
1:01:48
SPEAKER_02: He wasn't having he wasn't having fun.
1:01:50
SPEAKER_02: They don't watch them on TV.
1:01:50
SPEAKER_02: He wasn't having no fun.
1:01:52
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they don't watch them on TV.
1:01:53
SPEAKER_02: Bengals is prime time TV.
1:01:55
SPEAKER_02: It don't matter if we struggling or not, they're gonna put their ass on prime time because it's Burrow and Chase.
1:02:01
SPEAKER_02: So you know what I'm saying?
1:02:02
SPEAKER_02: Now you're gonna people gonna see what Lawrence is about.
