- 0:18Speaker 3: to another three P.
- 0:20Speaker 2: Is this overreaction Monday?
- 0:23Speaker 3: Just know I think the Bengals are cooked, but we'll
- 0:25Speaker 3: get into that in a little bit.
- 0:27Speaker 1: Hey, hey, it is overreaction Monday. I'm gonna talk about
- 0:30Speaker 1: my team in a little bit, but it's gonna be
- 0:31Speaker 1: something you want to hear. But before we get into it,

- 0:54Speaker 1: anybody that likes sports. But Josh, it's officially time. Its
- 0:58Speaker 1: officially time. All this talk in the offseason finally seen
- 1:02Speaker 1: some regular season games, and like we always do, I
- 1:06Speaker 1: don't know how many listeners we've had since last year,
- 1:09Speaker 1: but we always start with the Monday night football game,
- 1:12Speaker 1: the one that just happened, which it was the San
- 1:14Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine Ers versus the New York Jets, and
- 1:18Speaker 1: what's the Niners? They pretty much dominated this game from
- 1:20Speaker 1: the entirety other than the first quarter, in which they
- 1:23Speaker 1: won this game thirty two to nineteen. So what's your
- 1:26Speaker 1: reaction from this game? Here?
- 1:28Speaker 2: Josh?
- 1:28Speaker 3: Running backs just aren't that important. Jordan Mason has a
- 1:32Speaker 3: big day twenty eight carries, one hundred and forty seven
- 1:35Speaker 3: yards and a tutter. The dude did it all for
- 1:38Speaker 3: this team. He put the team on his back, really
- 1:41Speaker 3: dominated the run game against the good New York Jets defense,
- 1:43Speaker 3: good New York Jets front seven. And I don't know
- 1:47Speaker 3: what did I say? What did I say? Who's the
- 1:49Speaker 3: biggest bust in all of fantasy football? You just Christian
- 1:53Speaker 3: and McCaffrey. And I'm not saying due to his talent.
- 1:56Speaker 3: We know how talented Christian McCaffrey is, but what the
- 2:01Speaker 3: inevitable was bound to happen, and it happened. He did
- 2:04Speaker 3: not play Week one out with the cap string that
- 2:07Speaker 3: he's been dealing with for quite a while. Two back
- 2:10Speaker 3: to back seasons full of a full workload, it just
- 2:13Speaker 3: adds up on that body, especially getting to that older age.
- 2:16Speaker 2: Jordan Mason had a big day to day.
- 2:18Speaker 1: Yeah, no, he did, for sure. I think what this
- 2:21Speaker 1: showed is at the forty nine ers, they're the same
- 2:23Speaker 1: old forty nine ers, and we could expect another deep
- 2:25Speaker 1: playoff run for them. And like I said in our
- 2:28Speaker 1: last pot, if there's any team in the NFL that
- 2:32Speaker 1: likes to destroy, it on the better team team, which
- 2:35Speaker 1: I think we both agree that Jets are. They're a
- 2:37Speaker 1: good team. They killed this team from just the trench
- 2:41Speaker 1: work all the way to the skill position on the outside.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Thirty eight minutes of possession compared to twenty one. That's
- 2:47Speaker 1: exactly what you want to do if you want to
- 2:49Speaker 1: lose to the San Francisco forty nine ers. Then they
- 2:52Speaker 1: had thirty eight carries one hundred and eighty yards. That's
- 2:55Speaker 1: four point seven yards of carry, and they didn't even
- 2:58Speaker 1: have a good game in the red zone. There were
- 2:59Speaker 1: two for five in the red zone, so if they
- 3:02Speaker 1: cash in those points, you're probably looking at a forty
- 3:04Speaker 1: burger here. But again this week one, so there's gonna
- 3:07Speaker 1: be some rushiness for them. But what I wanted to
- 3:11Speaker 1: ask you about we finally saw a full game of
- 3:14Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers in a Jets uniform. Obviously, it didn't go
- 3:17Speaker 1: as good as we thought it was gonna go, but
- 3:20Speaker 1: just from how it looks, obviously there's gonna be work
- 3:23Speaker 1: that needs to be done. Aaron Rodgers he missed some
- 3:26Speaker 1: camp and then obviously didn't play last year, so a
- 3:29Speaker 1: little bit rusty. But just looking at it from the
- 3:31Speaker 1: surface level, do you think this Jets offense is gonna
- 3:34Speaker 1: get better throughout the season.
- 3:38Speaker 3: I think he was looking for Garrett Wilson pretty early,
- 3:40Speaker 3: so that's a good sign, and he was hitting Breeze
- 3:42Speaker 3: Hall early on. Also, he had five receptions himself. But
- 3:45Speaker 3: I think there was a little bit of a lack
- 3:47Speaker 3: of pushing the ball down the field that we're used
- 3:49Speaker 3: to seeing from Aaron Rodgers in this game. It was
- 3:51Speaker 3: more of intermediate throws and closer to the line of scrimmage.
- 3:55Speaker 3: But we just kind of expected he's getting back to
- 3:57Speaker 3: the groove things. But how much does the injury on
- 4:00Speaker 3: that achilles affect his power with the football, Because you
- 4:04Speaker 3: already know it comes from the it comes from the
- 4:06Speaker 3: lower base all that power and if he if he
- 4:08Speaker 3: doesn't have that, is Aaron Rodgers still gonna be the
- 4:10Speaker 3: same Aaron Rodgers. That's something to be monitored. He went
- 4:13Speaker 3: thirty for twenty one, one sixty seven, one touchdown, winning interception.
- 4:17Speaker 3: Not a bad day, but it wasn't an Aaron Rodgers
- 4:19Speaker 3: day by any standard. So I think we may have
- 4:22Speaker 3: to pump the brakes on expecting old Aaron Rodgers until
- 4:25Speaker 3: we see old Aaron Rodgers.
- 4:27Speaker 1: Yeah, and one thing I'll say, I expect this Jets
- 4:31Speaker 1: offense to be a little bit better. I think one
- 4:33Speaker 1: thing that they did too much at the very beginning
- 4:36Speaker 1: of the game was they were trying to they were
- 4:38Speaker 1: trying to establish a run game a little bit too much.
- 4:41Speaker 1: I get Breesaw, he's one of the best running backs
- 4:43Speaker 1: in the league, but the San Francisco forty nine ers
- 4:46Speaker 1: have one of the best front sevens, and early on
- 4:49Speaker 1: in the game, at least in the first half, you
- 4:51Speaker 1: had some chances as far as to attack the Niners
- 4:54Speaker 1: down the field and they didn't take advantage of that.
- 4:56Speaker 1: So I think there's definitely stuff that needs to be
- 4:59Speaker 1: worse out and Nathaniel Hackett isn't the best offensive coordinator,
- 5:03Speaker 1: but I think I think it'll be fixed. It'll be
- 5:07Speaker 1: fixed because this Jets defense. This was a bad game
- 5:10Speaker 1: for him. I don't expect many more bad games from
- 5:13Speaker 1: the Jets defense. So they gave up thirty two points.
- 5:17Speaker 1: I expect who they play next week. I haven't looked
- 5:20Speaker 1: exactly who they play next week, but they're definitely gonna
- 5:22Speaker 1: bounce back. But let's go ah and move on to
- 5:25Speaker 1: this next game here, Josh, which it featured your favorite
- 5:29Speaker 1: team in the NFC, the Detroit Lions versus the banged
- 5:32Speaker 1: up Los Angeles Rams. That was plenty of stuff that
- 5:35Speaker 1: happened in this game. Jamison Williams, he had a big night.
- 5:38Speaker 1: Poka Nakoua, he got hurt. He's on short term injury reserve.
- 5:42Speaker 1: But the Lions they win an overtime twenty six to
- 5:45Speaker 1: twenty in which David Montgomery in overtime five carries forty
- 5:51Speaker 1: five yards and the game winning touchdown. Just completely dominated
- 5:54Speaker 1: old school football in this game. So what did you
- 5:57Speaker 1: take away from this one?
- 6:00Speaker 3: I think if the Lions have Jamis and Williams playing
- 6:03Speaker 3: like this all year, this is gonna be a scary
- 6:06Speaker 3: team because not only can aminerall take a back seat.
- 6:08Speaker 3: You have the running game clicking on all cylinders and
- 6:11Speaker 3: David Montgomery and Jamior Gibbs and now I understand Cooper
- 6:14Speaker 3: Cup had a big game and when Pukinaku was on
- 6:15Speaker 3: the field, he was playing great. But this Detroit Lions
- 6:18Speaker 3: defense is a new Detroit Lions defense. They did not
- 6:21Speaker 3: look like they did last year. They held the Rams
- 6:23Speaker 3: at twenty points in the entire game. That that's that's
- 6:27Speaker 3: a big success in my in my book, they look
- 6:30Speaker 3: they look more They look more ready, I guess than
- 6:34Speaker 3: they usually are, especially with Alex Adzeloni. He looked like
- 6:37Speaker 3: primed ready to lead this defense. Arren Arnold stepped into
- 6:41Speaker 3: a hard role. We talked about playing his first game
- 6:43Speaker 3: against Pukakua and Cooper Cup.
- 6:45Speaker 2: I mean he didn't.
- 6:46Speaker 3: He didn't do too great against Cooper Cup, but not
- 6:48Speaker 3: many people can. But the defense as a whole, with
- 6:52Speaker 3: Kirby Joseph, Brian Branch and Aiden.
- 6:55Speaker 2: Hutchs was creating a lot of pressure on the quarterback.
- 6:58Speaker 3: I think that's good signs going forward for the Detroit
- 7:00Speaker 3: Lions because we know what they are offensively and once
- 7:02Speaker 3: they get am on Semlaporta cooking a little bit more.
- 7:05Speaker 3: This team's going to be a whole lot scarier, And
- 7:07Speaker 3: as far as the Rams side, I think there's a
- 7:08Speaker 3: lot to be happy about. Also, they also helped the
- 7:12Speaker 3: Lions to really twenty points in regulation and just came
- 7:14Speaker 3: down to the Lions getting the ball last in overtime.
- 7:17Speaker 3: And if we're gonna look at Kien Williams, Karen Williams,
- 7:19Speaker 3: the averages were a little bit down, I don't but
- 7:21Speaker 3: that's due to the Lions having a pretty good front.
- 7:23Speaker 3: I don't know if that was just a one game
- 7:25Speaker 3: type of thing, but that's something to see. And then
- 7:27Speaker 3: with Cooper Cup the resurgence to come back fourteen receptions
- 7:31Speaker 3: one and ten yards and a touchdown.
- 7:33Speaker 2: That's great.
- 7:34Speaker 3: If we get that production from Cooper Cup and along
- 7:36Speaker 3: with Puka Nakua, this offense is going to be colicking
- 7:39Speaker 3: on all cylinders.
- 7:39Speaker 2: But there's a thing Pooka Nakua out.
- 7:42Speaker 3: For the rest for for for the Red now the
- 7:45Speaker 3: rest of the season for at least four weeks, at
- 7:47Speaker 3: least four weeks going on ir with a knee injury
- 7:50Speaker 3: he's been bothered with. That's going to be a tough loss,
- 7:52Speaker 3: but I do think they have guys that can step up,
- 7:55Speaker 3: especially DeMarcus Robinson, chiefs legend. He plays pretty good in
- 7:58Speaker 3: that little role where he has to step up. And
- 7:59Speaker 3: then even Kobe Parkinson the titand was playing really good football. Yes,
- 8:04Speaker 3: yet last night it was a good game all in all,
- 8:06Speaker 3: but the Lions team looks scary right now.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Yeah, it definitely was a good game, and the Lions
- 8:10Speaker 1: they picked up where they left off from. One thing
- 8:13Speaker 1: that I didn't like is when they were up seventeen
- 8:16Speaker 1: to three, it seemed like they kind of got away
- 8:18Speaker 1: from their brand of football. They tried to pass the
- 8:21Speaker 1: ball a little bit more, try to force it to
- 8:23Speaker 1: Aman Ross, Saint Brown, Sam Laporta. But they realized in overtime, Okay,
- 8:28Speaker 1: we know what we could do. We could run the
- 8:30Speaker 1: football against anybody. We have the best offensive line in
- 8:33Speaker 1: the league. And they did exactly that. Again, thirty one
- 8:36Speaker 1: carries one hundred and sixty three yards, So it's just
- 8:39Speaker 1: pure old school football here. And like you were mentioning
- 8:42Speaker 1: with this defense, I was really impressed with this defense.
- 8:45Speaker 1: They made some moves in the offseason, but I didn't
- 8:48Speaker 1: expect to be this good. But give the rams words
- 8:51Speaker 1: credits due they didn't have two of their starting tackles
- 8:54Speaker 1: and Pokin Nakoul was out, so maybe the Lions. The
- 8:59Speaker 1: Lions defense looks better than what it actually is, but
- 9:02Speaker 1: we'll still have to see because the Lions are gonna
- 9:05Speaker 1: have many more tests to come. So overall, good game,
- 9:10Speaker 1: But question for you here, Josh, I think this is
- 9:14Speaker 1: gonna kind of be my hot take for this one
- 9:16Speaker 1: right here. If Poka naku is out for these next
- 9:20Speaker 1: four weeks, maybe six weeks because they don't want to
- 9:22Speaker 1: rush him back, I think Cooper Cup he could be
- 9:25Speaker 1: flirting with another triple crown here. I think he can
- 9:29Speaker 1: because fourteen catches one hundred and ten yards and then
- 9:32Speaker 1: twenty one targets. This line's defense, I know they were
- 9:36Speaker 1: average last year, but they got better. They weren't a
- 9:39Speaker 1: bad defense. They're not going to be a bad defense
- 9:41Speaker 1: this year. So I think Cooper Cup he could flirt
- 9:44Speaker 1: with that triple crown. So I don't know, maybe MVP
- 9:48Speaker 1: or Offensive Player of the Year. Cooper Cup he's back,
- 9:50Speaker 1: That's all I gotta say.
- 9:52Speaker 2: Hey, that's a hot take right there.
- 9:54Speaker 3: He's definitely on pace with twenty one targets and fourteen receptions.
- 9:58Speaker 3: The yards are gonna have to come with one ten
- 10:00Speaker 3: and the touchdowns, I mean touchdowns, one touchdown one team.
- 10:03Speaker 3: First week, fourteenth perceptions, you're on pigs for sure, But
- 10:06Speaker 3: to do this every single week, We'll have to wait
- 10:08Speaker 3: and see.
- 10:08Speaker 2: I think puking.
- 10:09Speaker 3: Akup at the beginning of the game definitely open up
- 10:11Speaker 3: a lot of the field for.
- 10:14Speaker 2: For Cooper Cup.
- 10:16Speaker 3: However, the rest of the game he really got open
- 10:18Speaker 3: and found the spots he needed to find.
- 10:20Speaker 2: But that's just Cooper Cup being Cooper Cup.
- 10:22Speaker 3: I think on the flip side, if we're gonna talk
- 10:24Speaker 3: about big deal, we're gonna talk about nine targets to
- 10:27Speaker 3: Jamison Williams and then also getting that run rush. That's
- 10:31Speaker 3: just not It's not like three touches he had this
- 10:34Speaker 3: big game. It's nine targets. He was a focal point
- 10:37Speaker 3: in this offense. And I think getting a guy of
- 10:39Speaker 3: his magnitude that is finally healthy, finally getting a shot
- 10:43Speaker 3: to play football in this league, I think it's gonna
- 10:45Speaker 3: be scary, and he looks like he's really hungry to
- 10:47Speaker 3: keep this going.
- 10:48Speaker 2: He even said that he wants to lead the league.
- 10:50Speaker 2: And what is it?
- 10:51Speaker 3: Touchdowns and yeah, and yard and receiving yards. He said,
- 10:56Speaker 3: not receptions because every time he gets the ball, he said,
- 10:58Speaker 3: he's gonna score.
- 10:58Speaker 2: So I don't know. He just it looked like it.
- 11:01Speaker 2: It looked like it did yesterday.
- 11:03Speaker 3: But if they could get that guy going, man, that's
- 11:07Speaker 3: just another weapon to this Detroit team. And a lot
- 11:09Speaker 3: of people worried about their receiving court because they did
- 11:12Speaker 3: Jonnovan Peoples Jones and didn't work out.
- 11:14Speaker 2: Josh Reynolds is gone.
- 11:16Speaker 3: They were worried who's gonna step ups. They knew what
- 11:19Speaker 3: they had in Jamison Williams.
- 11:21Speaker 1: Yeah, no, Jamison Williams, he's it'll definitely, definitely add another
- 11:25Speaker 1: threat because now that's five weapons right there. And Jared Goff. Honestly,
- 11:30Speaker 1: at this point, if Jamison Williams he could be the
- 11:33Speaker 1: star that he was expected to be when he was drafted,
- 11:36Speaker 1: then it doesn't matter who you have as quarterback. You
- 11:39Speaker 1: have no real flaw there. You have potentially two of
- 11:44Speaker 1: the best receivers in the league maybe this year, a
- 11:46Speaker 1: great tight end, two great running backs, great offensive line,
- 11:50Speaker 1: so we'll see. I really like what I saw from
- 11:53Speaker 1: the lines yesterday. They just improved from what they did
- 11:56Speaker 1: last year. But let's go ahead and move on to
- 11:59Speaker 1: this next game here, in which it was the Heisman
- 12:03Speaker 1: versus the Heisman, if y'all know what I'm talking about,
- 12:07Speaker 1: the Commanders versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and what's the
- 12:11Speaker 1: big show? Completely dominated in this game through four touchdowns
- 12:15Speaker 1: and they end up dogwalking the Commanders thirty seven to twenty.
- 12:19Speaker 1: So what'd you take away from this one?
- 12:21Speaker 3: That Mike Evans and Baker Mayfield connection is still completely alive.
- 12:26Speaker 3: But I think the scarier thing about this Buccaneers offense
- 12:29Speaker 3: is that they finally moved Chris Godwin back to the
- 12:31Speaker 3: slot and he had a big day eight receptions, eighty
- 12:34Speaker 3: three yards and a touchdown. That's where he's supposed to
- 12:37Speaker 3: be at, That's where he's supposed to play. There was
- 12:39Speaker 3: a lot of worry that he may not be the
- 12:41Speaker 3: same Chris Godwin. I even had my own worries. I
- 12:43Speaker 3: think I talked about it a little bit in our
- 12:44Speaker 3: preview about Chris Godwin. For him to be good, he
- 12:47Speaker 3: has to go back to where he used to be,
- 12:49Speaker 3: and now he is. He's the slot. Now they got
- 12:52Speaker 3: that one two punch again. Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
- 12:54Speaker 3: That's gonna be a big deal for Baker Mayfield going forward.
- 12:57Speaker 2: And let me tell you, if.
- 12:58Speaker 3: There was a guy that could have played a perfect game,
- 13:00Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield was damn close to playing a perfect game.
- 13:02Speaker 3: Twenty four for thirty two eighty nine and four touchdowns.
- 13:05Speaker 3: That that's peak right there. And I think if he
- 13:09Speaker 3: can keep that up, it's gonna be another resurgence here
- 13:11Speaker 3: for Baker Mayfield. And I think he's just proving a
- 13:13Speaker 3: lot of the doubters wrong right now. I think he
- 13:15Speaker 3: hurt the whispers and it's going it's going the right
- 13:19Speaker 3: way for him. And if we're gonna at this run game,
- 13:21Speaker 3: I think they have a two headed little two headed
- 13:23Speaker 3: monster right now. I think with Rashad White and Bucky Irving.
- 13:25Speaker 3: I mean, Rashad White's never been this efficient runner. He's
- 13:28Speaker 3: more of a receiving back. Six for seventy five through
- 13:30Speaker 3: the air, but he still gets that buttload of carries
- 13:33Speaker 3: with fifteen. But Bucky Irving man the efficiency he was
- 13:36Speaker 3: running with yesterday six point nine yards per carry on
- 13:39Speaker 3: nine attempts. That's that's gonna help this team out quite
- 13:43Speaker 3: a bit. And if we're gonna look at the commander
- 13:45Speaker 3: side Jayden Daniels. In hindsight, it's gonna look like he
- 13:48Speaker 3: played a good game seventeen for twenty four. But when
- 13:50Speaker 3: you're only throwing around Deakin dunks letting your guys run
- 13:53Speaker 3: the ball, you're gonna look like that. And then he
- 13:56Speaker 3: has to learn how to go down. Sixteen carries for
- 13:58Speaker 3: eighty eight yards, but a lot of that were not slides.
- 14:01Speaker 3: He was taking shots for his career lasts a little
- 14:03Speaker 3: bit longer. We saw with Anthony Richardson last year. He's
- 14:06Speaker 3: gonna have to learn how to get to the ground.
- 14:08Speaker 1: Yeah, So I'm gonna start with the commanders here. And
- 14:11Speaker 1: as far as Jaden Daniels, he did show ups and
- 14:14Speaker 1: downs throughout this game. It was a very conservative play
- 14:18Speaker 1: play calling as far as some Cliff Kingsbury, But I
- 14:22Speaker 1: just think that there's just not enough weapons around Jaden
- 14:27Speaker 1: Daniels for him to really be able to show what
- 14:29Speaker 1: he's really capable of. Again, Terry McLaurin didn't get involved
- 14:32Speaker 1: too catches seventeen yards, but there's no real threat other
- 14:36Speaker 1: than him. You had Jahan Dotson there, which I don't
- 14:39Speaker 1: think he was the best anyways, but you need another
- 14:42Speaker 1: weapon around him, So I think this defense is not
- 14:46Speaker 1: the best either. So there's gonna be a bunch of
- 14:49Speaker 1: games this year where the Commanders are going to be down.
- 14:51Speaker 1: So hopefully we'll be able to see Jaden Daniels develop
- 14:54Speaker 1: as a passer, because that's where he really struggled with.
- 14:58Speaker 1: But I'm not expecting in Jayden Daniels to win games
- 15:01Speaker 1: this year. I'm expecting him to just progress throughout the year.
- 15:05Speaker 1: But as far as from the Buccaneers side, like you
- 15:07Speaker 1: were saying that another team that picked up where they
- 15:11Speaker 1: left off from I think this is my overreaction for
- 15:14Speaker 1: this one. I think that the Buccaneers they're gonna win
- 15:17Speaker 1: the NFC South. That's my overreaction for this one. And
- 15:22Speaker 1: if this offense could play like this, and if Bucky
- 15:24Speaker 1: Irving can bring as far as a true run threat
- 15:28Speaker 1: to this team, because they didn't have this last year.
- 15:30Speaker 1: Rashad White, he just got a bunch of carries last year.
- 15:33Speaker 2: That's what made it.
- 15:34Speaker 1: Yeah, that's just what made it seem like he was
- 15:37Speaker 1: an effective runner, but he really wasn't. But yeah, now
- 15:41Speaker 1: that they have another element, it really shows having Graham
- 15:44Speaker 1: barton your center there. Drafting him in the first round.
- 15:48Speaker 1: It really looks like it paid dividends for you. So
- 15:51Speaker 1: if this buckt Buccaneers offense is humming in Week one,
- 15:55Speaker 1: you better look out the rest of the league because
- 15:57Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're gonna win a bunch of these games,
- 15:58Speaker 1: but they're gonna score a bunch of points on a
- 16:00Speaker 1: lot of people. And then another quick stat for you,
- 16:04Speaker 1: let me find it with Baker right here. It was
- 16:07Speaker 1: it was something pretty crazy. So Baker Mayfield has had
- 16:11Speaker 1: in his second career game for the Buccaneers out of
- 16:13Speaker 1: eighteen games played, four touchdowns and zero interceptions. He had
- 16:18Speaker 1: two games and sixty nine games in his career, not
- 16:21Speaker 1: including the playoffs before joining the Bucks in twenty twenty three.
- 16:25Speaker 1: So it shows. With Mike Evans Chris Godwin there, it
- 16:28Speaker 1: just shows how dynamic he actually has become.
- 16:32Speaker 3: But yeah, as far but I want to talk, oh
- 16:35Speaker 3: my bad, now go ahead. I think with this Washington defense,
- 16:37Speaker 3: also with Dan Quinn, we expected them to take a
- 16:40Speaker 3: little bit of a jump, but it just they did
- 16:43Speaker 3: not look good out there. Bobby Wagner's getting up there
- 16:45Speaker 3: in age. It just was hard to watch Emmanuel Forbes
- 16:49Speaker 3: looking like an early bust. I think and then outside
- 16:52Speaker 3: of them, everyone's kind of just filling in the roles
- 16:54Speaker 3: and getting cooked, and they're gonna have to step it
- 16:57Speaker 3: up if they want any chance going into this season.
- 17:00Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's a very weird spot. As far
- 17:04Speaker 1: as for dan Quinn, you already know, Josh, I really
- 17:07Speaker 1: don't like defensive minded coaches in this NFL unless you're
- 17:13Speaker 1: like a young bright star like a Demico Ryans, or
- 17:16Speaker 1: you're a Mike McDonald somebody like that who's younger where
- 17:20Speaker 1: you can innovate offensively. He's an older coach already as
- 17:22Speaker 1: it is. And if you're going to be a defensive
- 17:26Speaker 1: head coach, I expect that side of the field to
- 17:30Speaker 1: be damn near perfect because it's an offensive league. So
- 17:34Speaker 1: that's all I'm saying. I know it's Week one. There
- 17:36Speaker 1: was plenty a piece of you added throughout this offseason,
- 17:39Speaker 1: but it looks like you and the Giants are going
- 17:42Speaker 1: to be fighting for last place here. Let's be real,
- 17:45Speaker 1: but did you want to talk about anything else in
- 17:48Speaker 1: this game?
- 17:49Speaker 3: Now? Let's move on to the next one.
- 17:51Speaker 1: All right? Cool? So this next game, it featured another
- 17:54Speaker 1: rookie quarterback, Bo Knicks versus the Seattle Seahawks. So Seahawks
- 17:59Speaker 1: versus Bronco and what's the Seahawks? They won twenty six
- 18:02Speaker 1: to twenty and the Seattle defense under Mike McDonald, new
- 18:06Speaker 1: head coach, was swarming what they had or were? They
- 18:10Speaker 1: forced two fumbles and two interceptions and dominated defensively. What
- 18:14Speaker 1: did you take away from this one.
- 18:15Speaker 3: Josh, I think the Seahawks. I think he's going to
- 18:20Speaker 3: be for sure establishing the run first and foremost to
- 18:23Speaker 3: get their offense move and we saw that with Kenneth
- 18:25Speaker 3: Walker twenty carries one hundred and three yards and a touchdown,
- 18:28Speaker 3: plus to the air two receptions six yards, which is
- 18:31Speaker 3: really not much.
- 18:32Speaker 2: But then Zach Sharbernet also had eight carries.
- 18:35Speaker 3: He wasn't as efficient on the ground, but they're really
- 18:37Speaker 3: trying to get the run going to open up the
- 18:39Speaker 3: offense a lot more.
- 18:40Speaker 2: And then you know Tyra Lockee.
- 18:43Speaker 3: A lot of people thought he was probably gonna take
- 18:44Speaker 3: a step back with the submersion of Jacksons with then
- 18:46Speaker 3: Jake Wibb, but so far it's looking like that's not
- 18:48Speaker 3: the case.
- 18:49Speaker 2: Just yet.
- 18:49Speaker 3: He's not He's not going down without a fight. Six
- 18:52Speaker 3: receptions seventy seven yards. He had a really good day,
- 18:54Speaker 3: especially in that last drive. I think he had a
- 18:56Speaker 3: really big catch just kind of sealed the deal. And then,
- 19:00Speaker 3: you know, I think there's still a lot to be
- 19:02Speaker 3: had with this Seahawks offense. They didn't play too great.
- 19:05Speaker 3: But to be fair, the Broncos do have a good defense.
- 19:08Speaker 3: They're not the worst defense in the NFL for out
- 19:10Speaker 3: of by no means, and I was expected I should
- 19:12Speaker 3: have took the under, like I said I was with
- 19:14Speaker 3: DK Metcalf because the pass certain matchup. I even told
- 19:17Speaker 3: you probably should have took the I should have took
- 19:19Speaker 3: the under with this one. But pascertain really showed up
- 19:22Speaker 3: lockdown DK Metcalf for the game. But I want to
- 19:25Speaker 3: look at something crazy. Boe Nick's throwing forty two passes
- 19:29Speaker 3: in his first career game as an NFL starter to
- 19:31Speaker 3: meet his crazy work. He did not get set up
- 19:34Speaker 3: for success in this game at all. Overreaction, a real reaction.
- 19:38Speaker 3: Sean Payton is not that good of a head coach
- 19:40Speaker 3: in the NFL. I don't care what anyone says. I
- 19:43Speaker 3: think Drew Brees made his career. Let's just put that
- 19:46Speaker 3: out there. And I think we're just seeing that right now.
- 19:50Speaker 3: I think putting your rookie quarterback out there to throw
- 19:53Speaker 3: forty two forty two times and only resting the ball
- 19:55Speaker 3: twenty five times when you have I believe, three capable
- 19:58Speaker 3: running backs to kind of split the ca which they did.
- 20:00Speaker 3: They was a pretty even a mount ten with Jalil
- 20:03Speaker 3: eight with Javonte Williams. Both kind of had the same
- 20:05Speaker 3: rushing efficiency. But you got to take some pressure off
- 20:08Speaker 3: that rickey quarterbacks shoulders. I think I believe Treiq Willing
- 20:11Speaker 3: got an interception and I forgot who the other person was, Julian,
- 20:14Speaker 3: but yeah, Julian loved. You can't do that against this
- 20:18Speaker 3: type of defense, especially with the DBS they have at
- 20:20Speaker 3: in Seattle.
- 20:21Speaker 2: It just doesn't work that way.
- 20:22Speaker 3: And I don't know, it just wasn't a good look
- 20:24Speaker 3: for the for Champagne and the Denver Broncs have bo
- 20:27Speaker 3: Nicks out there running for his life and during forty
- 20:29Speaker 3: two times in my opinion.
- 20:31Speaker 1: So yeah, just to add on to that, right there,
- 20:34Speaker 1: bow Knicks, he had twelve passes where he attempted over
- 20:37Speaker 1: ten yards. In those twelve passes, he went two for twelve,
- 20:41Speaker 1: forty two yards and two picks, and he had a
- 20:44Speaker 1: forty seven point five passer rating.
- 20:47Speaker 2: So yeah, so it.
- 20:49Speaker 1: Definitely wasn't a good start for bow Knicks in his career.
- 20:52Speaker 1: But like you were saying, you have to establish the run.
- 20:55Speaker 1: But I really like what Mike McDonald he brought with
- 20:58Speaker 1: this defense here. This is the first time I know
- 21:01Speaker 1: that those flashes with Seattle over these couple of years defensively,
- 21:05Speaker 1: but I feel like this is sustainable right here. What
- 21:08Speaker 1: they were doing previous years, it was real turnover based,
- 21:12Speaker 1: but this looks like a team. I know it's the
- 21:14Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. I know there's some quarterbacks or the quarterback
- 21:18Speaker 1: play wasn't the best, but it looks like they actually
- 21:21Speaker 1: have a consistent pass rush, they could stop the run,
- 21:25Speaker 1: and these dbs and linebackers can roam around the field freely.
- 21:28Speaker 1: So I really like this. And as far as with
- 21:32Speaker 1: Ryan Grubb, the new offensive coordinator, he came from Washington
- 21:35Speaker 1: with Michael Pennix, Romadunze and that, so I feel like
- 21:40Speaker 1: he has a good starting plan for what Seattle's trying
- 21:44Speaker 1: to do. And I feel like there's gonna be some
- 21:46Speaker 1: things where he's gonna have to work out, but I
- 21:48Speaker 1: really like what he did with Kenneth Walker here twenty
- 21:50Speaker 1: carries one hundred three yards and a touchdown, so he
- 21:54Speaker 1: really wants to establish this run game right here, and
- 21:58Speaker 1: just overall thirty three carries. So it's going to be
- 22:01Speaker 1: run the ball first and then play action. Get to
- 22:04Speaker 1: your receivers title Lockett, DK Metcalf, Jackson Smith, Nined, jack Buck.
- 22:08Speaker 1: This is going to be a very good team and
- 22:11Speaker 1: a team that could go into any field or anywhere
- 22:15Speaker 1: and they could give anybody a tough game. But hold on, wait,
- 22:18Speaker 1: there's a comment we have right here. Get in Jmo
- 22:21Speaker 1: and Swift for Mike Evans thoughts twelve man PPR.
- 22:27Speaker 3: Getting Jamo and Swift. See, I don't like the swift
- 22:32Speaker 3: part of this offense. He wasn't very involved. He didn't
- 22:34Speaker 3: do too hot in this game in his last game.
- 22:38Speaker 3: But the thing is with Jamison Williams is still such
- 22:40Speaker 3: a dark horse to give up Mike Evans like that,
- 22:42Speaker 3: I think, I think, I know you know what you're
- 22:44Speaker 3: getting with Mike Evans for sure, high end wide receiver
- 22:49Speaker 3: two or even a peak wide receiver one. So I
- 22:52Speaker 3: think for me, I would hold on to Mike Evans.
- 22:55Speaker 3: I understand Jamison Williams might pop off with the for
- 22:58Speaker 3: sureness of Mike Evans compared to the rush mark of
- 23:00Speaker 3: Jamison Williams going forward, I would rather go with this
- 23:03Speaker 3: safer option.
- 23:04Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say, if you could hold that trade
- 23:07Speaker 1: trade for one more week because with Jamison Williams, I
- 23:11Speaker 1: just want to see a one more week because Mike Evans,
- 23:14Speaker 1: like you said, he's going to be there.
- 23:16Speaker 3: So m h yeah, definitely for me, I have Jamison
- 23:19Speaker 3: Williams on some of my benches, but I'm not next
- 23:22Speaker 3: week starting him above pretty much any of my guys,
- 23:25Speaker 3: if that makes sense.
- 23:26Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, yeah, in.
- 23:28Speaker 3: Those leagues, I have receivers that are consistently those guys,
- 23:33Speaker 3: and I don't want to take that risk of hey,
- 23:36Speaker 3: maybe a one week wonder and he turns into maybe
- 23:38Speaker 3: like one of those Gave Davis type of players or
- 23:40Speaker 3: Mike Boyions type of players where once every four games
- 23:43Speaker 3: he pops off.
- 23:43Speaker 2: I know with Mike Evans, every week is consistency.
- 23:46Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, And all right, one more question before
- 23:49Speaker 1: we get back into this next game, worth picking up
- 23:52Speaker 1: Jordan Mason or too soon?
- 23:55Speaker 2: Worth baby.
- 23:56Speaker 3: Biggest bust in the NFL Fantasy foot ball is Christian McCaffrey.
- 24:02Speaker 2: Jordan Mason's the move to go.
- 24:04Speaker 1: Yeah, no, for sure. And even when Christian McCaffrey does
- 24:07Speaker 1: come back, that's just the ultimate handcuff. You know that
- 24:10Speaker 1: he's gonna be there and he can produce behind this
- 24:13Speaker 1: offensive line. So yeah, for sure pick him up, whether
- 24:16Speaker 1: you're in FAB or just claim him. He's definitely worth
- 24:19Speaker 1: the stash. All right, let's get onto this next game here,
- 24:24Speaker 1: this three o'clock game. You're actually here watching this game
- 24:26Speaker 1: with me, Josh. It was America's team versus the other
- 24:32Speaker 1: team We're not going to talk about Cleveland Browns, just.
- 24:34Speaker 3: Kidding, versus the Tugg and Pool team, you know what
- 24:37Speaker 3: I'm talking about.
- 24:39Speaker 1: And the Cowboys dominated defensively thirty three to seventeen, pretty
- 24:45Speaker 1: much over by the start of the third quarter. So
- 24:48Speaker 1: what did you take away from this one? Right here?
- 24:51Speaker 3: I just want to say, Dak Prescott, you deserve it, Daddy,
- 24:54Speaker 3: clap it up.
- 24:56Speaker 1: Worth the money, worth the money, worth the money for
- 25:00Speaker 1: I forgot to mention that. Go ahead, Josh, you could
- 25:02Speaker 1: bring that up.
- 25:04Speaker 3: Well, Dak Prescott is now the highest paid player in
- 25:08Speaker 3: the history of the NFL. I believe four years to
- 25:10Speaker 3: seventy is that correct? Four years to seventy my bad.
- 25:14Speaker 3: I'm yeah, I'm going ahead of myself. But yeah, highest
- 25:17Speaker 3: paid player in NFL history. I think that's the deal
- 25:21Speaker 3: that had to be Let's talk about that real quick.
- 25:23Speaker 3: I think this is a deal that had to be done.
- 25:25Speaker 3: I hate when people come up and they're like people
- 25:27Speaker 3: that don't know ball, people that are just casuals of
- 25:29Speaker 3: the sport. They're like, Oh, we need to trade Dak,
- 25:31Speaker 3: we need to get rid of Dak. I'm not a
- 25:33Speaker 3: Cowboys fan, by the way, guys, but you need you
- 25:36Speaker 3: need trade Dak, get rid of Dak. But tell me
- 25:39Speaker 3: who you're gonna get that's better than Dak Prescott this summer,
- 25:42Speaker 3: where you're gonna get Sam Darnold, where you're gonna get
- 25:46Speaker 3: this Trey Lan's gonna start for this football team, where
- 25:48Speaker 3: you're gonna draft Jaden Daniels, you know, Bo Nicks, JJ McCarthy.
- 25:52Speaker 3: There's no shot you're getting Kayer Williams. So who do
- 25:56Speaker 3: you want over? Do you want these guys over Dak Prescott? No?
- 25:59Speaker 3: I don't think so. Dak Prescott is here to stay.
- 26:01Speaker 3: You have your quarterback, don't get rid of that and
- 26:04Speaker 3: build around it. That's what you should That's what you
- 26:06Speaker 3: should be doing, and that's what the Cowboys are doing.
- 26:09Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just very glad that Dak Prescott got paid.
- 26:12Speaker 1: It was something a long time coming. Honestly, I thought
- 26:16Speaker 1: I thought that it was gonna be the end of
- 26:17Speaker 1: the year and we're gonna have to go into free agency.
- 26:20Speaker 1: Dak was gonna hit free agency. We're gonna have to
- 26:22Speaker 1: pay him seventy million dollars because somebody was gonna offer.
- 26:25Speaker 2: Him sixty five.
- 26:27Speaker 1: But I'm just glad we got it done, and I'm
- 26:30Speaker 1: glad we got it done earlier than afterwards because I'm
- 26:36Speaker 1: gonna talk about it in a second. If the Cowboys
- 26:38Speaker 1: they could make a deep playoff run here, maybe NFC
- 26:41Speaker 1: Championship game, maybe Super Bowl, Dak Prescott's asking price would
- 26:45Speaker 1: have easily been sixty five seventy million dollars. But that's
- 26:49Speaker 1: just where the market is. And another thing, I know,
- 26:51Speaker 1: there's gonna be some Cowboy haters, Dak haters. They're gonna say, oh,
- 26:55Speaker 1: but what about playoff wins. There's only three quarterbacks before
- 26:59Speaker 1: Dak Cott that got his new contract that had more
- 27:03Speaker 1: playoff wins to him, and that was Jared Goff, Joe
- 27:06Speaker 1: Burrow and Patrick Mahomes, Jordan Love doesn't have more playoff wins.
- 27:13Speaker 1: It was a good game. We'll talk about that in
- 27:15Speaker 1: a second, but yeah, Jordan Love, Trevor Lawrence Tua, those guys,
- 27:20Speaker 1: they don't have more playoff wins and they're getting fifty
- 27:23Speaker 1: five fifty four million. Justin Herbert, he doesn't even have
- 27:26Speaker 1: a playoff win underneath his belt. So as far as
- 27:29Speaker 1: the whole playoff win narrative, it's just it's just very inconsistent.
- 27:34Speaker 1: So one thing that Dak Prescott he does bring you
- 27:38Speaker 1: is reliability. You know you're gonna get at least nine
- 27:41Speaker 1: ten wins, maybe up to twelve thirteen wins in the
- 27:44Speaker 1: regular season because I know people they don't they say
- 27:47Speaker 1: regular season doesn't matter, but it does matter to an extent.
- 27:51Speaker 1: And all you just need outside of like these dynastic
- 27:54Speaker 1: players of a Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady, you just need
- 27:57Speaker 1: one year, that's all you need. You just need one
- 27:59Speaker 1: year to make it through and your whole team's fortune,
- 28:03Speaker 1: your whole fortune is changed. So you just have to
- 28:06Speaker 1: hope one of those years is gonna happen, and maybe
- 28:09Speaker 1: it's gonna happen this year. But yeah, as far as
- 28:12Speaker 1: this game right here. So what do you take away
- 28:15Speaker 1: from this one? Was it more because I think this
- 28:19Speaker 1: was more Cowboys defense popping out. So was this more
- 28:23Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson being bad or the Cowboys defense shining?
- 28:28Speaker 2: I think the Cowboys defense had a lot to do
- 28:30Speaker 2: with it.
- 28:31Speaker 3: I think they're they're No one doubts them being one
- 28:33Speaker 3: of the best defense in the NFL, especially when it
- 28:36Speaker 3: comes to create a turnovers. But we also can'tnore how
- 28:40Speaker 3: bad Deshaun Watson is at football now. Deshaun Watson's fall
- 28:44Speaker 3: from grace needs to be studied. It's it's it's hard
- 28:48Speaker 3: to know that that guy was arguably a top three
- 28:50Speaker 3: quarterback at one point in this NFL in his career.
- 28:54Speaker 3: He was on that on that rise to being this
- 28:57Speaker 3: a next great star in the NFL to his own
- 29:00Speaker 3: wrongdoings just falling and crashing. It's just I believe who
- 29:05Speaker 3: was it that tweeted it?
- 29:06Speaker 2: Was it? Arbert Griffin the third.
- 29:07Speaker 3: I think they have to start thinking about putting Jamison,
- 29:09Speaker 3: which is kind of a wild statement because Jamis Jamis
- 29:13Speaker 3: is going to take more shots than Deshaun Watson. He
- 29:15Speaker 3: might get the offense moving like a Joe Flacco will,
- 29:17Speaker 3: but Deshaun Watson with this contract, this Brown team has
- 29:21Speaker 3: to be like, what can we do to get a quarterback?
- 29:24Speaker 3: They are in quarterback purgatory. They are not moving from
- 29:28Speaker 3: this spot. They should have kept they should have kept
- 29:31Speaker 3: the guy. They should have kept my guy. I don't know.
- 29:33Speaker 3: I don't know. Should they should have kept my guy,
- 29:35Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield, But they didn't. They went on moved on
- 29:39Speaker 3: with Deshaun Watson, and so far the experiment has failed.
- 29:43Speaker 3: This offense looks stagnant. They couldn't make any moves. When
- 29:46Speaker 3: he would get out of the pocket. We thought he
- 29:48Speaker 3: in my mind like, oh, he's gonna make something happen.
- 29:50Speaker 3: Never did, got sacked through it out of bounds. Just
- 29:54Speaker 3: wasn't a good efficient in football offensively from the Cleveland Browns,
- 29:57Speaker 3: especially from Deshaun Watson. But as far as this cowboy side,
- 30:00Speaker 3: this defense is nasty. Yet again, I got introduced to
- 30:04Speaker 3: another cornerback in the name of Kayln Carson.
- 30:06Speaker 2: Kayln Carson keep doing it. They just keep doing it.
- 30:10Speaker 3: They keep bringing in these guys who fill in and
- 30:12Speaker 3: replacing this in this dB territory. But one guy I
- 30:15Speaker 3: want to talk about more is big Hitter Unk Jordan
- 30:18Speaker 3: Lewis Statpoyt was arect all over the place.
- 30:22Speaker 2: Bro. It was cool to see he's found his role.
- 30:25Speaker 3: He's and then when Doron Blank comes back to this
- 30:28Speaker 3: defensive court, this defensive back is just gonna be a
- 30:30Speaker 3: lot more scary. To add on to the new to
- 30:32Speaker 3: Demorrow and over showing to add on to Eric Kendricks,
- 30:35Speaker 3: Michael Parsons Osa and DeMarcus Lawrence. This to those guys,
- 30:38Speaker 3: I thought the Cowboys were gonna fall off the face
- 30:41Speaker 3: of the planet because I don't know what reason they
- 30:44Speaker 3: they were thinking of.
- 30:45Speaker 2: They're just gonna be right where they were at last year.
- 30:48Speaker 1: Yeah, So the Dallas Cowboys defense, it was absolutely amazing.
- 30:53Speaker 1: So let me read you some stats right here. So
- 30:55Speaker 1: the pressure rate forty four point six percent of the time,
- 30:59Speaker 1: twenty five pressures, six sacks, two turnovers, held Cleveland, the
- 31:04Speaker 1: two for fifteen on third down two hundred and thirty
- 31:06Speaker 1: yards and three point three yards per play, and half
- 31:10Speaker 1: of their plays, half of the plays where they lined
- 31:13Speaker 1: up and said hut, they gained zero yards half of them.
- 31:17Speaker 1: So that's just something where we haven't seen in a while.
- 31:21Speaker 1: And as a Cowboys fan last year, or you could
- 31:24Speaker 1: even a credit to this Josh, we did not have
- 31:26Speaker 1: any linebackers and how this has changed completely. It's a
- 31:30Speaker 1: complete one eighty. You went from having Marquise Bell, Leyton
- 31:34Speaker 1: Vander esh who was in and out of the lineup,
- 31:37Speaker 1: but now you have Eric Kendricks, Da Marion Overshawn Maurice
- 31:40Speaker 1: still follow and then you have Damone Clark. You have
- 31:43Speaker 1: heavy hitters at the linebacker position and they swarm everywhere.
- 31:49Speaker 1: So I really like what I'm seeing from this Mike
- 31:51Speaker 1: Zimmer defense. It's a bunch of disguises. Compared to Dan Quinn,
- 31:55Speaker 1: all you just saw was Cover one or Cover three
- 31:58Speaker 1: straight up and then a Cover zero blitz every once
- 32:00Speaker 1: in a while. And the thing I like the most
- 32:03Speaker 1: is that we're actually using Micah in different ways. Back
- 32:06Speaker 1: then we would just use him as a pass rusher.
- 32:08Speaker 1: There was times where he'd get at the line of
- 32:11Speaker 1: scrimmage and he'd dropped back in the coverage and it'll
- 32:14Speaker 1: mess up the entire offensive line. So as far as
- 32:17Speaker 1: offensively from the Cowboys here, I feel like they let
- 32:21Speaker 1: off the gas in the second half. It was just
- 32:23Speaker 1: real vanilla, real conservative football in the second half, which
- 32:27Speaker 1: I don't mind. You just take care of business. You
- 32:29Speaker 1: have Baltimore coming up soon. Not trying to look ahead
- 32:32Speaker 1: of the Saints, but we know the Baltimore game that's
- 32:34Speaker 1: gonna be the heavy hitter game right there. But Dak
- 32:38Speaker 1: he did what he needed to do. And another thing,
- 32:41Speaker 1: Josh clap it up for Tyler Guiden. Clap it up,
- 32:44Speaker 1: clap it up, clap it up. He only allowed two
- 32:49Speaker 1: pressures when he was against Miles Garrett and that was
- 32:52Speaker 1: the only time other than that he was lights ole.
- 32:54Speaker 1: You didn't even know he was there. Cooper beebe another guy.
- 32:58Speaker 1: Zero pressures allowed, zero pressures allowed. So those two rookies
- 33:02Speaker 1: against that nasty Cleveland defensive line, they held up. And
- 33:06Speaker 1: you're not gonna find many, many defensive lines better than
- 33:10Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. So props to the Cowboys for finding
- 33:14Speaker 1: gyms and just finding rookies that actually contribute. But all right,
- 33:20Speaker 1: let's go and move on to this next game here,
- 33:22Speaker 1: in which this one is the Las Vegas Raiders versus
- 33:27Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers. Oh no, wait, my computer glitched
- 33:31Speaker 1: out for oh there it goes all right. And the
- 33:33Speaker 1: Chargers they won twenty two to ten in a very slow,
- 33:36Speaker 1: sluggish kind of game. Where JK Dobbins he kind of
- 33:39Speaker 1: shined out right here. But what was your takeaway from
- 33:42Speaker 1: this game?
- 33:43Speaker 3: Right here, the Chargers established the run, they they handed
- 33:49Speaker 3: the ball off to Gus Edwards. They just handed it
- 33:51Speaker 3: off to the Ravens. They handed off to JK. Dobbins
- 33:53Speaker 3: and Gus Edwards and they did their thing. But the
- 33:56Speaker 3: thing is with JK Dobbins, we know what he is
- 33:59Speaker 3: when healthy. We know he's one of the best running
- 34:01Speaker 3: backs talent wise in the NFL. The thing is he's
- 34:04Speaker 3: never on the field when he put When he is
- 34:06Speaker 3: on the field, he's a damn good football player. JK
- 34:09Speaker 3: Dobbins ten carries, one hundred and thirty five yards and
- 34:11Speaker 3: a touchdown. He just gets the job done. Whenever he
- 34:14Speaker 3: gets the opportunity to Scus Edwards with the leven they
- 34:16Speaker 3: split carries. But JK dobbins efficiency is I think what
- 34:20Speaker 3: led this Chargers offense to his success, and especially that
- 34:23Speaker 3: offensive line. It definitely is a success successful rebuild up
- 34:28Speaker 3: along that offensive line, especially with Joe Allt. Justin Herbert
- 34:32Speaker 3: didn't have to do too much in this game. We
- 34:33Speaker 3: didn't get to talk about it last but just like Dak Prescott,
- 34:37Speaker 3: he didn't have to do too much in this game.
- 34:39Speaker 3: Justin Herbert didn't have to do too much in this one.
- 34:41Speaker 3: He found lat McConkey a little bit, got him involved.
- 34:45Speaker 3: No one really popped off offensively receiving wise, it was
- 34:48Speaker 3: just all a spread up, spread up, spread apart between
- 34:50Speaker 3: all all receivers, Lat McConkie with five receptions, Quinn Johnson three,
- 34:54Speaker 3: Hayden Hurst two, Joshah Palmer two, and then JK. Dobbins
- 34:57Speaker 3: with three, So everyone got a load of the to
- 35:00Speaker 3: the share receiving wise.
- 35:01Speaker 2: But as far as.
- 35:05Speaker 3: The defense, the defense pretty played very well, and on
- 35:07Speaker 3: the flip side with the Raiders, it's kind of like
- 35:12Speaker 3: they didn't do terrible offensively, they just couldn't finish the
- 35:16Speaker 3: job when it came to scoring touchdowns. A lot of
- 35:18Speaker 3: stuff just didn't go their way. With the ziermur White fumble,
- 35:20Speaker 3: Garnermentshew interception, this was definitely a divisional game that it
- 35:26Speaker 3: was probably a little bit higher scoring on the Charger
- 35:29Speaker 3: side than the Raiders would like to let up. But
- 35:31Speaker 3: I did like what I saw from Gardner Minshew twenty
- 35:33Speaker 3: five for thirty three two fifty seven, one touchdown.
- 35:35Speaker 2: I think that's a little bit of an efficient game.
- 35:37Speaker 3: It's just can they score more touchdowns and then it
- 35:40Speaker 3: can have a little bit more efficiency running the ball
- 35:42Speaker 3: with Samir White getting it thirteen times and only averaging
- 35:44Speaker 3: three per Greer.
- 35:46Speaker 1: So as far as from the Charger side right here,
- 35:50Speaker 1: I know we watched a bunch of Michigan football last year,
- 35:53Speaker 1: but it looks like Jim Harball he brought almost had
- 35:56Speaker 1: same identity, almost that same team and implemented it as
- 35:59Speaker 1: much as he could in this Chargers team right here.
- 36:03Speaker 1: It's as far as just real trench work, which that's
- 36:06Speaker 1: the way to go. You build up the offensive line,
- 36:09Speaker 1: you build up the defensive line. And one thing that
- 36:11Speaker 1: I'll say Joe Alt as far as against Max Crosby,
- 36:15Speaker 1: it was a total of eleven times zero pressure is allowed.
- 36:18Speaker 1: So he looks like a stud absolutely and it looks
- 36:21Speaker 1: like the great pick justin Herbert, just based off of
- 36:25Speaker 1: this game right here. I don't know if it's an overreaction,
- 36:27Speaker 1: it seems like he's gonna be more and not saying
- 36:31Speaker 1: he's a game manager. Don't take this out of context,
- 36:33Speaker 1: but he's gonna be in that game manager role this
- 36:36Speaker 1: year again, go back to the content context rewind like
- 36:43Speaker 1: fifteen seconds ago. But he's playing in that game manager
- 36:47Speaker 1: role this year, so and I don't think there's nothing
- 36:50Speaker 1: wrong with it. There's so much talent on this defense,
- 36:53Speaker 1: and I think that Jim Harball he can get a
- 36:55Speaker 1: lot out of it. But as far as with this
- 36:58Speaker 1: Raiders side right here, I just think that I know,
- 37:02Speaker 1: you have DeVante Adams, you have Brock Bowers there, you
- 37:04Speaker 1: have za Mere White there, but I feel like Gardner Minshew,
- 37:07Speaker 1: there is a ceiling to this to this team right here,
- 37:12Speaker 1: and I feel like it's just a bridge quarterback. It's
- 37:15Speaker 1: like a bridge year for the Raiders because you need
- 37:19Speaker 1: spectacular quarterback play or a quarterback that could make plays
- 37:23Speaker 1: when you have Justin Herbert, when you have Patrick Mahomes
- 37:26Speaker 1: in your division. So I know I was high on
- 37:29Speaker 1: the Raiders, but this is gonna be my overreaction for
- 37:32Speaker 1: this one. The Chargers, they have a damn good shot
- 37:35Speaker 1: of making the playoffs. In my opinion, they have a
- 37:38Speaker 1: damn shining and go that far. But we'll see it's
- 37:42Speaker 1: winning football. But all right, let's go to move on
- 37:45Speaker 1: to this next game right here, in which this game
- 37:48Speaker 1: it was pretty fun to watch. So it was the
- 37:51Speaker 1: drive class from a couple of years ago. The quarterback CJ.
- 37:55Speaker 1: Stroud versus Anthony Richardson the first matchup of hopefully many
- 37:59Speaker 1: in which the Texans won this one twenty nine to
- 38:02Speaker 1: twenty seven. Josh, what did you take away from this one?
- 38:08Speaker 3: I think both quarterbacks in this one really showcase their
- 38:12Speaker 3: talents like differently. You know, we got c J. Stroud's
- 38:16Speaker 3: he's definitely the gun slinger. He's definitely the pocket passer
- 38:20Speaker 3: out of the two. But he made some big plays
- 38:22Speaker 3: in this game. It was a back and forth game
- 38:23Speaker 3: the entire time. But I think the biggest thing that
- 38:26Speaker 3: comes with the Texans, we know who the number one
- 38:29Speaker 3: receiver is on the football team.
- 38:30Speaker 2: It's Nico Callings. There's no question about it. There's no
- 38:33Speaker 2: doubt about it.
- 38:33Speaker 3: He's on his way to possibly fighting for that top
- 38:35Speaker 3: ten spot in the NFL as a wide receiver. Hey,
- 38:39Speaker 3: I don't know that's overreaction, but it's definitely true. There's
- 38:41Speaker 3: some truth to the statement because going back to last year,
- 38:44Speaker 3: fourteen hundred yards, twelve twelve touchdowns, it gets you paid
- 38:48Speaker 3: this year. You just keep it going six or steps
- 38:50Speaker 3: one hundred and seventeen yards and it wasn't like he
- 38:51Speaker 3: was wide open every play. He was making some big
- 38:54Speaker 3: time catches against some big time defenders with Kenny Moore,
- 38:58Speaker 3: and hey, if that's just if that's they're gonna get
- 39:00Speaker 3: at Nico Collins and the rest is filled in, that's
- 39:02Speaker 3: that's some scary work.
- 39:04Speaker 2: But here's the thing. Did we turn Did they turned
- 39:06Speaker 2: back the clock on a certain player here? Did they just?
- 39:08Speaker 2: Did they?
- 39:09Speaker 3: Did they turn him into this efficient runner? That that
- 39:12Speaker 3: the I guess that's what happened. Did you get this
- 39:17Speaker 3: is what happens when you get behind a coppetent offensive line.
- 39:20Speaker 2: This is what happens.
- 39:22Speaker 3: When Joe gets at the right age of seventy three.
- 39:25Speaker 2: He gets thirty carries, one hundred and fifty nine yards
- 39:27Speaker 2: and a touchdown.
- 39:28Speaker 3: That is crazy. Something I did not expect from Joe Mixon.
- 39:32Speaker 3: I was expecting like maybe fourteen carries, sixty two yards,
- 39:39Speaker 3: maybe a touchdown with like six receptions. That's what I
- 39:42Speaker 3: was expecting from Joe Mixon. I wasn't expecting this three
- 39:45Speaker 3: down this on power back that they that they unleash
- 39:47Speaker 3: in the backfield with thirty carries. But hey, sometimes when
- 39:52Speaker 3: when you take a swing, you you hit home runs,
- 39:54Speaker 3: and I think that's what the Houston did with Joe Mixon.
- 39:57Speaker 3: They really established a run in this one. I think
- 39:59Speaker 3: it helped kind of keep this game efficient along the
- 40:02Speaker 3: way because it really forced the Colts to play both
- 40:05Speaker 3: run and receiving equally.
- 40:07Speaker 2: They couldn't pick one or the other.
- 40:08Speaker 3: They just had to play neutral football on it, and
- 40:11Speaker 3: it kind of came back to bite them a little
- 40:13Speaker 3: bit towards the end of this one. But if I'm
- 40:14Speaker 3: gonna talk about Anthony Richardson a little bit, I think
- 40:18Speaker 3: maybe the big plays happened with Anthony Richardson. I will
- 40:22Speaker 3: say that the big plays are in full effect, but
- 40:26Speaker 3: there has to be a little bit more efficient for me.
- 40:28Speaker 3: When it comes to passing. He had these big deep shots.
- 40:30Speaker 3: Two of them made up most of his yardage. Nine
- 40:32Speaker 3: for nineteen you missed. That's not that efficient for me.
- 40:36Speaker 3: I need to see a little bit more. But rushing
- 40:38Speaker 3: the ball, we know what we're gonna get from him,
- 40:39Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor sixteen carries. The efficiency wasn't there. Also this
- 40:43Speaker 3: may well, that's something to be seen. And I don't
- 40:46Speaker 3: know this offense, and it looks too efficient for the
- 40:48Speaker 3: Annapolis Colts. I think I want to see a little
- 40:50Speaker 3: bit more, a little bit more from Michael Pittman, a
- 40:53Speaker 3: little bit more from ada I Mitchell, and this text,
- 40:55Speaker 3: this Colts offense can take a good step, because I
- 40:57Speaker 3: do think they did play good football. They kept up
- 40:59Speaker 3: with the Texans offensively, and I think on this side,
- 41:03Speaker 3: the Texans are just pround to make a push.
- 41:04Speaker 1: I think I think what this showed right here is
- 41:08Speaker 1: that the Houston Texans they could kill you in different ways.
- 41:12Speaker 1: If they want to run the football, if they want
- 41:14Speaker 1: to make this game a real slow game, chew the clock,
- 41:18Speaker 1: they can. You show you saw this exactly forty carries,
- 41:22Speaker 1: two hundred thirteen total rushing yards, and you got different
- 41:25Speaker 1: guys involved. Damian Pierce got a I think three carries,
- 41:28Speaker 1: Tank Delle he got a couple Jets sweeps, and Stefan
- 41:31Speaker 1: Diggs two did too. Bobby Slovak, he's one of the
- 41:34Speaker 1: best offensive coordinators in the league. And it's really scary.
- 41:38Speaker 1: And then we already know we saw this last year
- 41:41Speaker 1: what CJ. Stroud could do if you let them sit
- 41:43Speaker 1: back in the pocket and just throw the ball. So
- 41:47Speaker 1: I definitely not that I wasn't high on the Texans.
- 41:50Speaker 1: I just didn't think that they were going to win
- 41:51Speaker 1: the division, which I still don't think. I think the
- 41:54Speaker 1: Colts will, which I said. I even said this too.
- 41:59Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember. So yes, I did
- 42:02Speaker 1: pick the Colts, I said, I picked the Colts for
- 42:04Speaker 1: the predictions, but I said they were gonna split. I'm
- 42:07Speaker 1: not crazy here. And Anthony Richardson, like you said, he
- 42:11Speaker 1: does have that big play potential. He missed at an
- 42:13Speaker 1: I Mitchell twice for a couple of touchdowns, but that
- 42:17Speaker 1: red zone interception ill was costly. I think the biggest
- 42:20Speaker 1: thing he needs to learn, which I feel like this
- 42:23Speaker 1: is a great problem to have, is just taking the checkdowns,
- 42:27Speaker 1: just learning as far as just the mental side of
- 42:30Speaker 1: the game, which that's so much easier than learning how
- 42:33Speaker 1: to throw a ball six yards down the field off
- 42:35Speaker 1: your back foot. That's something that you can't teach. And
- 42:39Speaker 1: I think he has a right in tangibles, the right coach.
- 42:42Speaker 1: So I think this this looks like a very good
- 42:46Speaker 1: sign for the Colts because the offensive offensive line is
- 42:50Speaker 1: definitely going to be better.
- 42:52Speaker 2: Wait what the MJD is asking, how do I sub?
- 42:57Speaker 1: You could just click our logo right there and it
- 42:59Speaker 1: should take you to our page and you should be
- 43:01Speaker 1: able to follow, and we definitely do appreciate it.
- 43:03Speaker 2: Man.
- 43:06Speaker 3: You can go ton Instagram at the soul called Essay
- 43:09Speaker 3: and TikTok the soul called Essay and we post unbrills
- 43:12Speaker 3: on there also of clips from the podcast.
- 43:15Speaker 1: Yes sir, yes, sir. But thoughts on Likely's performance and
- 43:18Speaker 1: if it will continue stay tuned. Yeah, we'll talk about
- 43:24Speaker 1: that in a second. We'll talk about that in a second.
- 43:28Speaker 1: We're about to get there. We're about to get there.
- 43:30Speaker 1: But all right, as far as this next team right here,
- 43:36Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins versus the Jacksonville Jaguars, in which the
- 43:40Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars it looked like they had this game one.
- 43:43Speaker 1: Then Travis etn fumbled with a great play by Javon Hollan.
- 43:48Speaker 2: Help that game away right there.
- 43:50Speaker 1: Yeah, it would have been what twenty seven to fourteen
- 43:53Speaker 1: something like that.
- 43:53Speaker 2: It would have been twenty four to seven.
- 43:57Speaker 1: It would have been twenty four to seven.
- 43:59Speaker 2: Oh damn, Yeah, it would have been twenty four to seven.
- 44:02Speaker 1: Man. But yeah, I know, yeah, So what'd you take
- 44:05Speaker 1: away from this one other than that right there?
- 44:09Speaker 3: I think it's the same thing with the Dolphins that
- 44:12Speaker 3: we know to come. We know what to expect from them,
- 44:15Speaker 3: big plays when they need them, and they definitely got him,
- 44:17Speaker 3: especially in this little comeback. Tyreek Hill had that one
- 44:20Speaker 3: catch across the sideline, made a move on to defenders
- 44:24Speaker 3: score a touchdown. That's just the cheat of being the cheetah.
- 44:26Speaker 3: We saw Devon Agent and guys. To be fair, everyone
- 44:29Speaker 3: that gets on me about fantasy, it's not that I
- 44:30Speaker 3: don't think Devon Agen's a good football player.
- 44:32Speaker 2: I just don't.
- 44:34Speaker 3: I don't trust I don't trust his injuries. I don't
- 44:37Speaker 3: trust him. He's not I need them. That's just my thing.
- 44:40Speaker 3: But perceiving wise, Davon Agent had a good game for
- 44:44Speaker 3: this team. If he's gonna be able to do that
- 44:45Speaker 3: out of the backfield seven catches for seventy six yards,
- 44:48Speaker 3: but plus his rushing was a little bit inefficient today,
- 44:51Speaker 3: I believe that will go up with his speed and
- 44:53Speaker 3: his talent. With one touch he also has one touchdown.
- 44:56Speaker 3: But we know what this Miami is offenses. There's Jaylen Waddle.
- 45:02Speaker 3: Like I said, he needs to step up in a
- 45:04Speaker 3: big way. He needs to establish himself as this guy
- 45:08Speaker 3: that work himself into being a top ten receiver in
- 45:10Speaker 3: the NFL, and I think this game is a good
- 45:12Speaker 3: step into doing that. Five catches one hundred and nine
- 45:14Speaker 3: yard as a number two, that's great. That's great to
- 45:17Speaker 3: have on your football team. And I do think he
- 45:20Speaker 3: can he can get better. If we're gonna look at
- 45:22Speaker 3: this Jacksonville team that that fund. They were playing great
- 45:26Speaker 3: football up until that fumtball. I feel like when they fumbled,
- 45:29Speaker 3: all the momentum just shift into complete opposite direction because
- 45:34Speaker 3: before this they were I believe they were.
- 45:36Speaker 2: They were cooking.
- 45:37Speaker 3: They were, they were having good offensive efficiency, the defense
- 45:41Speaker 3: was clicking on all cylinders with Andre Cisco Josh Allen.
- 45:45Speaker 3: It's just you know, sometimes when big mistakes happen, the
- 45:50Speaker 3: game doesn't go your way the rest of the time.
- 45:52Speaker 3: And what I did like in this one from the
- 45:55Speaker 3: Jacksonville Jaguars offense specifically, is taking a little bit of
- 45:59Speaker 3: load off of Travis Etem would take Bigsby. I think
- 46:02Speaker 3: take Bigsby last year we expected to have a little
- 46:04Speaker 3: bit more of a role, but this year it looks
- 46:05Speaker 3: like so far there's a split in that Jacksonville backfield
- 46:09Speaker 3: with Travis eteen and taking Bisby then taking Bisby yesterday
- 46:12Speaker 3: was the more efficient Runner. Yeah.
- 46:15Speaker 1: And one more thing as far as from the Jacksonville Jaguars,
- 46:18Speaker 1: as far as their defense, I did say their defense
- 46:21Speaker 1: it did improve. But one person I really like that
- 46:24Speaker 1: is looking like he's going to have a breakout season,
- 46:27Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker. Yeah. Those two sacks and the tackle for lost.
- 46:32Speaker 1: He looked damn good. He looked even at Spurts, better
- 46:35Speaker 1: than josh Heines Allen. So, and I'm gonna say this,
- 46:39Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 46:40Speaker 3: If josh Heinz Allen, you.
- 46:43Speaker 1: Know what the heins reminds me of the mustard.
- 46:47Speaker 3: Reminds me of nim.
- 46:51Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know what.
- 46:54Speaker 1: No, But all right, I don't know if this makes
- 46:56Speaker 1: sense statistically to what had the better game, But if
- 47:00Speaker 1: you watch this game, Trevor Lawrence is a better quarterback
- 47:02Speaker 1: than Tua. That That's all I have to say.
- 47:06Speaker 2: So no, elaborate, so elaborate on that.
- 47:10Speaker 3: Elaboratorate the reason the reason why I say that.
- 47:13Speaker 1: And I'm not saying, Okay, I don't view both of
- 47:17Speaker 1: these quarterbacks in high regard, if that makes sense, But
- 47:21Speaker 1: I feel like Trevor Lawrence he did make Yeah, they're
- 47:25Speaker 1: they're middle of the pack, But I just feel like Tua.
- 47:28Speaker 1: It's just if it wasn't for that Tyreek kill big play,
- 47:32Speaker 1: and if it wasn't for Travis et and fumbling. I
- 47:35Speaker 1: feel like it's slowly getting worse and worse throughout the years,
- 47:38Speaker 1: because we saw a couple of years ago that's when
- 47:41Speaker 1: Twoey he had his breakout year than last year. About
- 47:44Speaker 1: halfway through there was some stuff that was going on.
- 47:47Speaker 1: There's only so much Mike, Mike McDaniels he could hide
- 47:51Speaker 1: as far as with Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Wattle, Davon a
- 47:53Speaker 1: Chen what toa struggles are as far as throwing the
- 47:57Speaker 1: ball or stretching the ball down the field, and so yes,
- 48:01Speaker 1: he does make quick reads, but as far as just
- 48:04Speaker 1: his mobility to get out of the pocket, and he
- 48:07Speaker 1: could get away with this against the Jacksonville Jaguars, But
- 48:10Speaker 1: when you get I don't even view the Jaguars on
- 48:13Speaker 1: the same tier as the Colts, as the Texans, as
- 48:17Speaker 1: some of these other teams in their own division here.
- 48:21Speaker 1: So I feel like even the Titans, they could give
- 48:23Speaker 1: them struggles as far as this whole AFC South. So
- 48:28Speaker 1: I just feel like what Tua he showed throughout this game,
- 48:33Speaker 1: it's very limited. What you can do. It's very limited.
- 48:36Speaker 1: There's plenty of talent. There's gonna be games where they
- 48:39Speaker 1: win just based off of talent here. But I'm just
- 48:43Speaker 1: not buying TUA. That's my overreaction right there.
- 48:47Speaker 2: Because I've never bought to it.
- 48:50Speaker 1: But just as far as what this game it looks,
- 48:54Speaker 1: it looks like statistically versus actually what went on in
- 48:58Speaker 1: the game, if that makes sense.
- 49:00Speaker 3: It I feel like both defenses plays better, play better
- 49:02Speaker 3: than people are going to give them credit for just
- 49:04Speaker 3: because the names that are on offense, But the defenses
- 49:07Speaker 3: had a lot to do with what was going on
- 49:09Speaker 3: on the field, for sure.
- 49:11Speaker 2: I think.
- 49:13Speaker 3: I think with the Dolphins, they they got a little
- 49:17Speaker 3: bit more healthier that some of their guys are back.
- 49:20Speaker 3: None of them had particularly great games as individuals, but
- 49:23Speaker 3: as a whole, I think holding the Jaguars to seventeen
- 49:26Speaker 3: points was a pretty big deal. I understand that Bumble
- 49:28Speaker 3: truly changed the perspective of this game, but causing that
- 49:31Speaker 3: fumble to begin with, which was kind of turned the tide,
- 49:34Speaker 3: the Dolphins defense deserved a lot of credit.
- 49:37Speaker 1: Yeah, No, for sure, the Dolphins defense definitely does deserve
- 49:41Speaker 1: a lot of credit. But as far as a defensive game.
- 49:44Speaker 1: Right here, let's talk about the Pittsburgh still is in
- 49:48Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. Here Kirk Cousins debut. Russell Wilson for as
- 49:52Speaker 1: far as the Pittsburgh side was going to start, but
- 49:55Speaker 1: has a cap strain. Justin Fields came in, stepped up
- 49:58Speaker 1: and won this game. They he won eighteen to ten.
- 50:01Speaker 1: Shout out to Chris Boswell when for six for six
- 50:04Speaker 1: for field goals, no touchdowns and still won this game.
- 50:07Speaker 1: So how do you feel about this brand new Falcons?
- 50:10Speaker 2: Not good?
- 50:11Speaker 3: I think we're watching Kirk Cousins play football that he's
- 50:15Speaker 3: never played before, and I understand that people are not
- 50:18Speaker 3: going to know what that means. Kirk Cousins is the
- 50:21Speaker 3: behind as a behind the center, from a behind the
- 50:27Speaker 3: center type of player.
- 50:28Speaker 2: He's not a shotgun passer.
- 50:29Speaker 3: He's not this guy that he operates best when he's
- 50:32Speaker 3: able to get underneath the center, hand off the ball,
- 50:35Speaker 3: make quick, make low efficient reads. Not this quick decision
- 50:39Speaker 3: making guy that's from the shotgun. And it's just not
- 50:43Speaker 3: who he is, not what he's been used to in
- 50:44Speaker 3: his entire NFL career, and that showed in this one.
- 50:47Speaker 3: And what is kind of like making me a little
- 50:49Speaker 3: bit bad. I understand Bejhon still had eighteen carries, but
- 50:55Speaker 3: give the ball to Bijon more. There has to be
- 50:59Speaker 3: I understand you want of thems to the ground, Do
- 51:01Speaker 3: not do that. He wasn't super efficient yesterday, but at
- 51:04Speaker 3: least pass them the ball a little bit more, because
- 51:06Speaker 3: when he gets the ball in his hands, he's pretty dynamic.
- 51:08Speaker 3: I think Kyle Pitts played a little bit better, a
- 51:12Speaker 3: little bit better this This Falcons offense was not clicking.
- 51:15Speaker 3: But it is to the it's to the to the
- 51:17Speaker 3: standard of the defense they were playing. The defense they're
- 51:20Speaker 3: playing is no joking. You want to talk about who
- 51:22Speaker 3: might be the best defensive player in all the football
- 51:25Speaker 3: t J. Wall was wreaking habit all over this football
- 51:28Speaker 3: field and a lot of his sacks got called back
- 51:30Speaker 3: due to the defense.
- 51:33Speaker 2: Yeah, so in reality t J. Watt should have had.
- 51:36Speaker 3: Maybe three three sacks, four tackles for a loss. He
- 51:41Speaker 3: was all over the field in this one. I believe
- 51:43Speaker 3: that Alex Heisman, Vika Fitzpatrick, Peyton Wilson played good in
- 51:47Speaker 3: this one. I think he's probably gonna be one of
- 51:49Speaker 3: the steals of the draft of Dude felt to the
- 51:51Speaker 3: fourth Round was easily probably the best linebacker in the
- 51:54Speaker 3: country and that that doesn't make any sense. And they
- 51:56Speaker 3: signed Patrick Queen. This team, this defense is going to
- 51:59Speaker 3: be a problem this year.
- 52:01Speaker 2: I understand.
- 52:01Speaker 3: I chose the Falcons, but that's mainly me being like
- 52:04Speaker 3: a Bijon fan and hoping this offense does something. And
- 52:08Speaker 3: to be fair, this Falcons defense is great.
- 52:11Speaker 2: Also.
- 52:11Speaker 3: They held the Stillers to only field goals. They they
- 52:15Speaker 3: were they were playing with great field positions in this
- 52:17Speaker 3: entire game. So we'll just let that be fair. Let's
- 52:19Speaker 3: let that be hurt there. Justin Justin Field's I hear you, MJ.
- 52:26Speaker 3: Justin Field didn't play great by any standards, but he
- 52:28Speaker 3: definitely managed the game to where he didn't make any
- 52:31Speaker 3: mistakes he that really cost his team heavily the fourteen carries.
- 52:37Speaker 3: He ran the ball when he needed to, and I
- 52:39Speaker 3: think that's what you need from the from this with
- 52:41Speaker 3: this type of defense, I do think they need to
- 52:43Speaker 3: be more efficient scoring the football. They need some touchdowns.
- 52:45Speaker 3: They're to keep up with good teams, They're gonna need
- 52:47Speaker 3: some touchdowns. And then as far as this, he really
- 52:50Speaker 3: had a connection with George Pickens six six receptions, eighty
- 52:53Speaker 3: five yards. I'm not the biggest George Pickens fans, but
- 52:55Speaker 3: he got him involved quite a bit. Najee Harris, this
- 52:59Speaker 3: is something I didn't I didn't expect this type of
- 53:01Speaker 3: split on the ground. If that, I don't know if
- 53:03Speaker 3: you did it either of Alfonso with Naji Harris with
- 53:06Speaker 3: twenty carries seventy yards and and then Jalen Warren only
- 53:10Speaker 3: getting two carries, That's something I didn't expect. Is Naji
- 53:13Speaker 3: Harris to is Jalen Warre no longer the handcuff we
- 53:16Speaker 3: thought he was gonna be.
- 53:17Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 53:18Speaker 1: I think Naji Harris, especially in a contract year, I
- 53:22Speaker 1: feel like he has something to prove, and he did
- 53:26Speaker 1: well apparently throughout the offseason. He did lose some weight,
- 53:29Speaker 1: and he did show some flash. I'm not gonna lie.
- 53:31Speaker 1: He did show some flash every every once in a
- 53:34Speaker 1: while and again going back too.
- 53:37Speaker 3: He like broke up that you like broke up that
- 53:40Speaker 3: last like ten seconds, like talk about Jaylen, just talk
- 53:44Speaker 3: about your whole thing all over again.
- 53:46Speaker 1: But what I was saying is Naji he he lost
- 53:49Speaker 1: some weight reportedly throughout the offseason, and he did have
- 53:52Speaker 1: some bursts throughout this weight and so I don't know.
- 53:57Speaker 1: I know Jalen Warren, he was hurt before the season started.
- 54:01Speaker 1: I don't know if that played a factor. Maybe they're
- 54:03Speaker 1: trying to ease him back in. They're not trying to
- 54:06Speaker 1: They're not trying to mess him up week one, which
- 54:09Speaker 1: I understand. But going back to him Jay's point, I
- 54:13Speaker 1: think Justin Fields he played winning football. He played complimentary football.
- 54:17Speaker 1: Here the stats they're not pretty. The stats are not pretty.
- 54:20Speaker 1: You look at all the all quarterbacks around the NFL
- 54:23Speaker 1: Week one, other than very few quarterbacks, they did not
- 54:28Speaker 1: look good because most of them didn't play the preseason.
- 54:31Speaker 1: Justin Field Fields he did. But like you said, at
- 54:34Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons, they had some acquisitions on this defense
- 54:38Speaker 1: already top ten, Justin Simmons, Matthew Judon. So they have
- 54:42Speaker 1: a good defense, and he did what he needed to do,
- 54:45Speaker 1: and that's all you have to do. As long as
- 54:47Speaker 1: you win football games, that's all that matters. Now, question
- 54:50Speaker 1: to you, Russell Wilson was supposed to be the starter.
- 54:55Speaker 1: He should be back next week from all reports. Do
- 54:58Speaker 1: you go with Justin Fields or do you go with
- 55:00Speaker 1: Russell Wilson.
- 55:02Speaker 2: Now, I think you got to keep rolling with Justin Fields.
- 55:07Speaker 3: I understand that he didn't have the prettiest game, but
- 55:09Speaker 3: dude just came off of winning.
- 55:10Speaker 2: I don't think there's this clear separation.
- 55:12Speaker 3: Of who's the better quarterback right now, and I don't
- 55:14Speaker 3: think we saw that in the preseason either. I don't
- 55:17Speaker 3: think there was much of a distinct difference between them
- 55:20Speaker 3: both when they played. And we're talking about five years ago.
- 55:24Speaker 3: Russell Wilson's the for sure answer. But this is five
- 55:26Speaker 3: years from five years ago. This is now, and I
- 55:28Speaker 3: think both quarterbacks are in a stage of where there's
- 55:33Speaker 3: a lot of question marks and you just keep rolling
- 55:35Speaker 3: with the hot hand, and I think this is justin
- 55:36Speaker 3: Field won this football game.
- 55:37Speaker 2: You keep it moving.
- 55:39Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say this, as far as Justin Fields
- 55:44Speaker 1: he has I'll say this as far as rushing the ball,
- 55:48Speaker 1: he definitely has more upside and they could slow the
- 55:51Speaker 1: game down a lot more. But if you want to
- 55:54Speaker 1: get more potential offensively, I would say go Russell Wilson
- 55:58Speaker 1: because I feel like he has a better ball than
- 56:01Speaker 1: Justin Fields. He has a little bit more touch, a
- 56:03Speaker 1: little bit more accuracy, so he I know those a
- 56:07Speaker 1: couple of plays were Justin Fields he got the ball
- 56:10Speaker 1: to George Pickins down the field. But I think Russell Wilson,
- 56:15Speaker 1: just as far as him being a veteran quarterback, just
- 56:18Speaker 1: seeing more coverage, just being experienced, being a vet, I
- 56:22Speaker 1: feel like he'll know, He'll know, Okay, I shouldn't make
- 56:25Speaker 1: this throw. I shouldn't do that. I say shouldn't because
- 56:29Speaker 1: we saw how he looked against or in Denver. But
- 56:32Speaker 1: I think he's smart enough to realize he just needs
- 56:35Speaker 1: to be a game manager and every once in a
- 56:36Speaker 1: while make that big throw. And that's why I'll say
- 56:39Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and I didn't even get into the falconsier,
- 56:42Speaker 1: but Kirk Cousins had a terrible had a terrible start.
- 56:48Speaker 1: And I know that it's a new offensive coordinator and
- 56:52Speaker 1: quarterback going in new system, but I just think that
- 56:57Speaker 1: we kind of overplayed Kirk Cousins having that achilles injury.
- 57:01Speaker 1: We just kind of played that off. And I don't
- 57:03Speaker 1: know if that's somewhat of a factor here because there's
- 57:05Speaker 1: plenty of weapons. I know it's a Pittsburgh Steelers defense,
- 57:08Speaker 1: but you're expected to score more than ten points. You are,
- 57:12Speaker 1: and next week you're facing the Philadelphia Eagles. Then the
- 57:16Speaker 1: week after you're facing the Kansas City Chiefs, So you
- 57:20Speaker 1: need to get it together really damn quick, or else
- 57:23Speaker 1: you're gonna be owing three in which we know teams
- 57:25Speaker 1: who are oh in three, I think what it's like
- 57:29Speaker 1: a five percent chance they make the playoffs something.
- 57:32Speaker 3: Last tea I think last team was the Saints that started. Yeah,
- 57:36Speaker 3: I believe that was when Drew Brees was there, so.
- 57:39Speaker 1: Yeah, it was something like that.
- 57:41Speaker 3: So yeah, I know, so yeah for the Packers when
- 57:44Speaker 3: Rogers said they were going to run the table something
- 57:46Speaker 3: like that.
- 57:47Speaker 1: You know what, that's that's my bold prediction for this
- 57:50Speaker 1: game right here. Falcons are in a must win next
- 57:54Speaker 1: week or else they'll miss the playoffs.
- 57:57Speaker 2: Ship, I can see it. But all right, as far
- 58:03Speaker 2: but yeah, twenty zero.
- 58:06Speaker 1: All right, this next game right here, and what's this
- 58:09Speaker 1: game was the ugliest game as far as the most
- 58:12Speaker 1: dominating game. And if you didn't watch this game, you
- 58:15Speaker 1: didn't miss much. It was the New Orleans Saints versus
- 58:18Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers, and which the Saints they won forty
- 58:21Speaker 1: seven to ten, and they went up thirty to zero
- 58:24Speaker 1: in the first half. So Josh, anything you took away from.
- 58:27Speaker 3: This one, I think the Saints looked pretty efficient offensively.
- 58:32Speaker 3: They definitely are looking better with the new offensive coordinator
- 58:35Speaker 3: from San Francisco that they got. Derek Carr looked a
- 58:39Speaker 3: little bit more, a little bit more if he was
- 58:41Speaker 3: efficient in this one, nineteen for twenty three and three touchdowns.
- 58:45Speaker 3: But and then Alvin Kamara. Let's say Alvin Kamara had
- 58:49Speaker 3: a good one, a good game in this one. Fifteen carries,
- 58:51Speaker 3: eighty three yards, a touchdown, five five receptions twenty seven
- 58:55Speaker 3: yards definitely was his game. I think I think he
- 58:58Speaker 3: was the best player on this Saints off fence for sure,
- 59:00Speaker 3: in my opinion. In this one, however, this is also
- 59:04Speaker 3: versus the Carolina Panthers. I understand how it was higher
- 59:07Speaker 3: on the Carolina Panthers this season, but any any hope
- 59:11Speaker 3: that I have for them making that move the next step,
- 59:13Speaker 3: it just didn't look like it at all.
- 59:16Speaker 2: I think.
- 59:18Speaker 3: I think Bryce Young, Bryce Young, I don't know, I
- 59:22Speaker 3: don't know what's to think, I don't know what's a think.
- 59:24Speaker 2: Right now, I think they're gonna have to step up.
- 59:26Speaker 3: Bro, You're gonna have to because right now I think
- 59:29Speaker 3: I want to ask you this question of the Panthers
- 59:30Speaker 3: regretting drafting Bryce Young.
- 59:33Speaker 1: So this kind of leads me to what my overreaction.
- 59:36Speaker 1: I wrote this down during notably because these other ones
- 59:40Speaker 1: I didn't write down. There was another one I wrote down.
- 59:42Speaker 1: We'll get into it in a second.
- 59:43Speaker 2: Lonte Taylor had three sacks from the corner position.
- 59:48Speaker 1: Yeah. Bryce Young is a bust. Bryce Young is a bust.
- 59:55Speaker 1: I am saying this set in stone. I am saying
- 59:58Speaker 1: this very confidently. I'm I'm putting the hammer down. Its
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: objection time. Okay, if you're having a tough time reading
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: a blitz, you're being inaccurate. They spend some money in
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: this offseason. They got two guards where you spent over
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars for you. They try to get
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: some weapons. Xavier Legain, Deontay Johnson, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thiland.
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: They've been there, so you should have a report there.
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: The running backs are not bad. It's just very bad
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: quarterback play. There was even some throws where he had
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: open or where he had time in the pocket and
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: he was just overthrowing them. I don't know if this
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: is a confidence issue or just as far as he's
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: just not he's just not used to having a clean
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: pocket compared to last year. So he's so he's somewhat
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: scrambled and he just can't process it through. I know
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: the Saints they have a good defense, but they don't
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: have this good of a defense. They don't And thirteen
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: for thirty pass one hundred and sixty one yards, two interceptions,
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: thirty three or thirty three passer rating, I round it
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: up for them. That's that's unacceptable. Here. You should be
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: seeing strides. Like I said with Jaden Daniels, I want
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: to see I'm not expecting wins. I just want to
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: see strides of the quarterback throughout the progression of the year,
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: especially year two, because especially now with quarterbacks, you get
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: to year two or year two, two and a half,
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: maybe three, and GMS they already made their decision and
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: the clock's taken for them. It is and it could
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: potentially go down as one of the worst trades in
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: NFL history. It can, yeah, but it starts the Saints.
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: This is the only time I'm going to talk nicely
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: about the Saints, because I know we're not gonna do
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: predictions today. But let's just say, Breckon, I'm not going
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: to be the nicest person to talk to after this
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: week's game. But but the Saints, they did look.
- 1:02:03Speaker 3: Nice, baking so happy right now, the guys, guys, hold on,
- 1:02:06Speaker 3: hold on, let me tell you how happy.
- 1:02:08Speaker 2: These Saints fans are.
- 1:02:09Speaker 3: Right now. Saints fans are talking like they they got shot,
- 1:02:12Speaker 3: like they they got shot. Yeah, they breakings over here
- 1:02:17Speaker 3: calling me. I know he's smiling through the phone. I'll
- 1:02:19Speaker 3: talking to me about Rashisha Heat and his three receptions,
- 1:02:23Speaker 3: and and how Derek Carr looks looks amazing, and this
- 1:02:27Speaker 3: offensive coordinator God Stamp. Okay, like, all right, all right, guys,
- 1:02:31Speaker 3: y'all have y'all, y'all can have y'all. Let's tap it
- 1:02:33Speaker 3: up for them, Let's top it up for Saints.
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: Clap it up. Congrat Saints. Congrat Saints.
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: Congrats. You want the super Bowl, you want the good
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: good ship. Let me tell you, good ship, brother, you
- 1:02:46Speaker 2: deserve it.
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: But yeah, Clint Kopiak coming over from the from the
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers, it did look much cleaner.
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: But as far as just where I think this is
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: gonna lead to long term, I just feel like, if anything,
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: this is me being optimistic here they could beat on
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: the bad teams. I could see them maybe finishing around
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: eight to nine wins at most, because the Buccaneers are
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: still in that division. I'll still favor the Falcons in
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: the division. So just the Carolina Panthers, especially with quarterback,
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: I feel like this is a worst version of the
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. You have bad quarterback play and you just
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: have bad defense overall. So yeah, just Saints. Enjoy this win.
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: Don't think about Sunday. We already know what's gonna happen.
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: But yeah, I feel like what.
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: They show a good point. That's a good point.
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: Three turnovers in the Panthers' territory on offense. Can't expect
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: the defense to make stops, oh no, for sure, but
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: even at that, even at that, the first two, it
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: was the first two to three drives the Saints. Whenever
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: this game will still end in balance the Saints. They
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: just marched down the field. They just marched down the field.
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: And one thing I was surprised a fantasy football wise,
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: I didn't get any chrysal Olave stock this year. I know,
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: I said I wasn't around him, but two catches eleven yards.
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: I know some people who got chrys o'lave and they
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: weren't the happiest here. They weren't. And I'll say one thing.
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: I wasn't have an album Kamara this year. I wasn't
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: but twenty total carries and then he had I believe
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: it was one hundred and ten total yards and then
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: a touchdown. So that doesn't look too bad. So how
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: do you feel about Chris o'lave moving forward? Would you
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: buy or sell them?
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: I would buy.
- 1:04:42Speaker 3: I think I would buy some Crystal Lave stock, especially
- 1:04:45Speaker 3: at the low price you probably didn't get him at.
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: Right now, I think it's going to panic.
- 1:04:48Speaker 3: This is when you got to buy panic, panic, panic,
- 1:04:50Speaker 3: bye bye bye. And I don't say I don't think
- 1:04:54Speaker 3: go go sell out your your farm, you know, don't
- 1:04:56Speaker 3: go sell your your high priced race horses you got.
- 1:04:59Speaker 3: But you know, if you package some some some mid
- 1:05:03Speaker 3: RB two, some mid wid wide receiver twos and Sekira
- 1:05:08Speaker 3: a Chrystal Lobby, I think it's worth the risk because
- 1:05:10Speaker 3: he is the number one on this team. He is
- 1:05:11Speaker 3: the best receiver on this football team. Derek Carr is
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: gonna find him. Of Ben Chulie so and I think
- 1:05:17Speaker 3: it's gonna matter the most when you play, when you
- 1:05:19Speaker 3: need that big time scoring because he definitely has that
- 1:05:21Speaker 3: big time upside.
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: Yeah, and all right.
- 1:05:25Speaker 2: Let's going in the same way. That's how I feel.
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: Personally me, I'm staying away from Chris o'lave in general.
- 1:05:31Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not personally trading for him, but if
- 1:05:33Speaker 3: you have the interest, that's what you need to do.
- 1:05:35Speaker 3: Don't go don't go selling, don't go trading a better
- 1:05:39Speaker 3: player for him, you know.
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: And I'll say this, this is just me looking at it.
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: I didn't get any Alvin Kamara, but I feel like
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: this is a perfect time to sell high because I
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: feel like this was just a perfect situation, perfect game
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: script for him and Kendre Miller. He's eventually going to
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: come back because I know he's hurt right now and
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: he did get some burn towards the end of the
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: year last year. But I think you sell high on
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara and then you buy on Chris o'lave. But
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: like they always say in a stock market, you buy
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: low and you sell high. So maybe you could get
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara, maybe you get a top end wide receiver one,
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: or maybe you could get who's a wide receiver one
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: that struggled. Maybe you could package together a deal with
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara a wide receiver. Two, maybe you get like
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: a Marvin Harrison. I'm I'm kind of reaching here. Maybe
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: an Aman Raw, maybe treyming Bride, somebody around that range.
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: So yeah, we'll see. But let's go to move on
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: to this next game right here, in which it was
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: Caleb Williams' debut versus the Tennessee Titans. So your guy
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: versus my guy, will Levis versus Caleb Williams, where it
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: was an absolute quarterback Yeah, a shit shill. What you
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: take away from this one right here?
- 1:07:02Speaker 3: Will Levis? You got to protect your chicken, man, You
- 1:07:06Speaker 3: gotta protect your chicken. Bro.
- 1:07:08Speaker 2: What were you doing out there? Dude?
- 1:07:11Speaker 3: Oh man?
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: They were up. They had this game. They had this game.
- 1:07:15Speaker 2: They had they had Vonso, they had this game. They
- 1:07:19Speaker 2: were up. Wasn't seventeen to three?
- 1:07:21Speaker 3: Yeah, seventeen seventeen to three in the second half. Then
- 1:07:27Speaker 3: that collapse happened, and then will Levis wasn't doing too hot.
- 1:07:31Speaker 3: The running game was. It wasn't doing great, but it
- 1:07:34Speaker 3: was enough. Will Levice, Come on, bro, especially when you
- 1:07:37Speaker 3: take that sack, you flip it up to the to
- 1:07:39Speaker 3: the boundary. I don't know what he would don't. I
- 1:07:41Speaker 3: don't know if he was trying to flip it out
- 1:07:43Speaker 3: of bounds or too. I believe it was. I don't
- 1:07:46Speaker 3: know who the receiver was, to the receiver that was
- 1:07:48Speaker 3: in the area, or I don't know what you were thinking,
- 1:07:51Speaker 3: but that mind collapse happened, it kind of. It was
- 1:07:55Speaker 3: a terrible play and then it led to a touchdown.
- 1:07:58Speaker 3: I believe he threw a pick six also the next
- 1:08:01Speaker 3: the very next drive, I believe.
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: It.
- 1:08:07Speaker 3: Yeah, he didn't he throw another pick six because the
- 1:08:10Speaker 3: Bears defense scored all their touchdowns.
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: It was a pump block. It was a Pumploh.
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: Okay, okay, pump block. Yeah.
- 1:08:19Speaker 3: See it was dog. It was just a terrible day
- 1:08:22Speaker 3: to be a Tennessee Titans fan. I will say it was.
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: It was.
- 1:08:26Speaker 3: I'm not a Tennessey Titans fan, but if I was
- 1:08:28Speaker 3: a Tennessee Titans fan, I would be very disappointed right now.
- 1:08:34Speaker 3: I think, uh, they spread the ball out quite a bit.
- 1:08:36Speaker 3: Of the share was all over the place. The Calvin
- 1:08:40Speaker 3: Ridley threw recepts, and Tyler Boy three recepts in Chico
- 1:08:42Speaker 3: con quote two receptions, Tony Pollard three receptions.
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: I think they were just trying to get.
- 1:08:47Speaker 3: The ball to whoever was open, and will Levis didn't
- 1:08:50Speaker 3: do that very well. And we're gonna look at the
- 1:08:52Speaker 3: Bears side of things. This defense is really good. Let's
- 1:08:56Speaker 3: just say that this defense is pretty good. This fair
- 1:09:00Speaker 3: pretty good at football. I believe that.
- 1:09:04Speaker 2: They had.
- 1:09:04Speaker 3: That's a lot to be happy about, because watching Caleb
- 1:09:07Speaker 3: Williams yesterday was not good at all. And he's your guy.
- 1:09:12Speaker 3: He's your guy. I wouldn't be claiming that right now
- 1:09:15Speaker 3: until there's a little bit better because right now he's
- 1:09:18Speaker 3: looking like Bryce Young. I let's just say that, right now,
- 1:09:20Speaker 3: he's looking like Bryce Young, probably a little worse.
- 1:09:23Speaker 2: Probably probably, I think.
- 1:09:27Speaker 3: I think he he was trying to do a lot
- 1:09:29Speaker 3: of the things that he became accustomed to in college,
- 1:09:32Speaker 3: making those Mahomes type of plays, running around, slinging it
- 1:09:36Speaker 3: all over the field, you know, just doing doing the most.
- 1:09:41Speaker 3: He tried that in this one, but he realized, you
- 1:09:43Speaker 3: know what, this isn't the Pac twelve, this is NFL football.
- 1:09:46Speaker 3: This is this is even the even the bad defenses,
- 1:09:48Speaker 3: even the bad teams got on the other side and
- 1:09:52Speaker 3: they're going to catch you. And that happened in this one.
- 1:09:54Speaker 3: He he looked rattled. He didn't look comfortable at all
- 1:09:56Speaker 3: in this game. And you can tell because he wasn't
- 1:10:00Speaker 3: hitting the hitting.
- 1:10:01Speaker 2: Players deep like he's accustomed to.
- 1:10:03Speaker 3: He was overthrowing a lot of balls, especially the DJ
- 1:10:06Speaker 3: Moore and I and a couple to Romo Dunze. This
- 1:10:09Speaker 3: is we're going to talk about him in here in
- 1:10:11Speaker 3: a second. Yeah, and then Keenan Allen also here in
- 1:10:13Speaker 3: a second. So my overreaction is not really my overreaction.
- 1:10:17Speaker 3: It's an overreaction to year over reaction. The Bears are
- 1:10:21Speaker 3: not going to make the playoffs. They have a while
- 1:10:23Speaker 3: to they toll they till they get to this and
- 1:10:26Speaker 3: even even even with the Packers, which we'll get to
- 1:10:29Speaker 3: here in a little bit, dealing with what with what
- 1:10:32Speaker 3: they're dealing with, the Bears offense isn't ready. Caleb Williams
- 1:10:35Speaker 3: isn't quite ready. I understand it's the first game, but
- 1:10:38Speaker 3: he did play the Tennessee Titans in his first game
- 1:10:41Speaker 3: and this didn't look too great. I know he can
- 1:10:42Speaker 3: make adjustments, but here's the thing, Keenan Allen going down injury.
- 1:10:46Speaker 2: I don't think this is gonna be a one game
- 1:10:48Speaker 2: type of thing.
- 1:10:49Speaker 3: I believe that this is going to be an occurren
- 1:10:51Speaker 3: throughout the rest of the season. He's getting older, the
- 1:10:53Speaker 3: injuries are catching up, and then Romo Dunes, I believe
- 1:10:56Speaker 3: he's gonna miss a week to week two week right
- 1:10:59Speaker 3: now with the Yeah, with the spring NCL that that's
- 1:11:03Speaker 3: best case scenario for him. I think he dodged the
- 1:11:06Speaker 3: bullet for sure. But hey, this game was terrible. Yeah,
- 1:11:13Speaker 3: so this game was a bad game.
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: So first off, I'm gonna say this, the MVP of
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: this game was a Bears defense and special teams for
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: clamping up in the second half, and then yeah, just
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: dominating defensively. They did exactly what they needed to do.
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: They had I believe eight tackle for losses in three sacks,
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: so they just dominated. Again, this team has plenty of
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: talent here, and I'm gonna double down. I'm gonna double
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: down here, and maybe it's gonna end up costing me,
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: but I still firmly do believe the Chicago Bears are
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: going to make the playoffs, and I think this is
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: the worst we're gonna see Caleb Williams play in my opinion,
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: because again, first real game of NFL football and the
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. They did make some acquisitions throughout the offseason,
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: Lugerious Snead and then they got Chadobie Woozy, they got
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: Jamal Adams, Quandra Diggs. They they upgraded that second there there,
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: Kenneth Murray Junior and yeah, so they still have Jeffrey Simmons.
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: So it's a good defense. It's a good defense what
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: they have in place. And Caleb Williams, yeah, he was
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: trying stuff that he did in college. I think I
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: feel like it's maybe gonna be two three weeks to
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: get all of this out of the edges, to sharpen
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: up the edges. But I do think a big game
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: is coming up for him soon. Maybe it will be
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: next week versus Houston. I'm not gonna give away my
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: prediction for that one. We won't talk.
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: About that, brod. We was talking about that winsday. That's
- 1:12:52Speaker 2: all I'm saying. What what does Stephen A. Smith lay off?
- 1:12:58Speaker 2: Bro don't even say it, don't even Hey.
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: I never said I was picking the Bears here. I
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: never said. I just said, we'll have to see.
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: Don't sound unt.
- 1:13:10Speaker 3: Don't make it sound like you are because I might
- 1:13:13Speaker 3: put you in a certain category of people on this
- 1:13:15Speaker 3: earth that are not of intelligent thinking, and I'll put
- 1:13:23Speaker 3: you there after saying some crazy stuff like that.
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: Yeah, we can't say that on the earth. Yeah.
- 1:13:30Speaker 3: I feel like I've said it before on here. But
- 1:13:32Speaker 3: we're trying to be better people.
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: Yeah, we're trying to be better But let's go ahead
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: and move on to this next game here, in which
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: it was the Minnesota Vikings versus the New York Giants,
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: which I'm not gonna mention what Josh Josh said, but
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: there was one quarterback here that did not look the
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: smartest here, did not look the brightest, in which the
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: Vikings they won twenty eight to six and just dominated
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: this game. So how'd you feel about the new look
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: Sam Donald with the Vikings.
- 1:14:05Speaker 2: I think he did exactly what he needed to do.
- 1:14:07Speaker 3: I think this is what we're gonna come to expect
- 1:14:09Speaker 3: with Sam Donald, just game manager, really running, establishing the
- 1:14:13Speaker 3: run game, and I think that's what really helped him out.
- 1:14:16Speaker 3: Aaron Jones just played like Aaron Jones. He he he,
- 1:14:22Speaker 3: He's getting up there in age. If he can stay healthy,
- 1:14:24Speaker 3: he's going to be a good A good Complimentary to
- 1:14:27Speaker 3: Sam Donald that can someone he can rely upon, especially
- 1:14:30Speaker 3: a veteran in Aaron Jones and ty Chandler also getting
- 1:14:33Speaker 3: involved with eight carries kind of takes some pressure off.
- 1:14:35Speaker 3: And I want to it's gonna suck because I want
- 1:14:38Speaker 3: to see bigger plays from Jessin Jackson. I want to
- 1:14:41Speaker 3: see bigger plays from Jordan Addison. I want to see
- 1:14:44Speaker 3: these two guys get really involved. But with Sam Donald,
- 1:14:48Speaker 3: that just that's not the case. I think I think
- 1:14:50Speaker 3: he played perfect football for what he's for what he's
- 1:14:54Speaker 3: called to do. So this season, I think this is
- 1:14:57Speaker 3: this is what it's going to be. It's not really
- 1:14:59Speaker 3: an over reaction and underreaction.
- 1:15:01Speaker 2: It's good job.
- 1:15:02Speaker 3: It was just say, a good job, Sam Donald for
- 1:15:05Speaker 3: playing good football. On the flip side, you know who
- 1:15:08Speaker 3: it's time for. You know who it's time to freaking
- 1:15:11Speaker 3: play football for the New York Giants, for the.
- 1:15:14Speaker 2: Italian Stallion, Tommy DeVito, bring him back.
- 1:15:19Speaker 3: You know fan favorite of the pod, you know Tommy,
- 1:15:23Speaker 3: the Italian Stallion de Vito.
- 1:15:25Speaker 2: Get him out there.
- 1:15:25Speaker 3: Let New York get their praise, eat their pasta, and
- 1:15:28Speaker 3: unison because Daniel Jones ain't doing jack shit.
- 1:15:32Speaker 2: He is terrible at football.
- 1:15:34Speaker 3: Bro Daniel Jones, I believe that that year before you
- 1:15:37Speaker 3: signed your contract, you were balling. You had a good year,
- 1:15:42Speaker 3: but you fooled all of us. It was like it
- 1:15:45Speaker 3: was like an imposter situation. It was like those videos
- 1:15:48Speaker 3: where they're like pick the gang member out of the
- 1:15:50Speaker 3: ten people, the fake the fake gang member Daniel Jones.
- 1:15:54Speaker 3: If you put it against quarterbacks and put pick find
- 1:15:56Speaker 3: the fake quarterback, it would be Daniel Jones because he
- 1:15:59Speaker 3: is not good. It's it's it wasn't. It wasn't a
- 1:16:04Speaker 3: good look at all. Twenty two for forty two one
- 1:16:06Speaker 3: eight six, two interceptions, And it sucks because I think
- 1:16:09Speaker 3: Brian Davile is a good offensive mind and he needs
- 1:16:13Speaker 3: a better freaking quarterback.
- 1:16:15Speaker 2: Bro.
- 1:16:15Speaker 3: It's just it's and Tommy Debido's sitting right there. Tommy
- 1:16:18Speaker 3: Debido is sitting right there for the pickings. Let's bring
- 1:16:21Speaker 3: him back into this football. And I will say this,
- 1:16:23Speaker 3: the receivers are not getting the love.
- 1:16:25Speaker 2: I think this is.
- 1:16:26Speaker 3: I think a sleeper good wide receiver Cord. Let's just
- 1:16:29Speaker 3: say that. I think it's a sleeper good wide receiver corp.
- 1:16:31Speaker 3: With my league neighbors Wandelle Robinson, would Healthy and Darius Slayton,
- 1:16:35Speaker 3: these guys Wandelle Robinson and Darius Slayton be consistent receivers
- 1:16:39Speaker 3: when they are on the field. Especially Wandell had twelve
- 1:16:42Speaker 3: targets the other day, six six receptions forty four yards.
- 1:16:45Speaker 3: Elie Neighbors, I think we have had an even better
- 1:16:47Speaker 3: day if he had competent quarterback play, but he just
- 1:16:51Speaker 3: it just doesn't work that way when you have imposters
- 1:16:53Speaker 3: playing quarterback. I don't know, man, It's just this Giants
- 1:16:56Speaker 3: team is terrible.
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: So I'm gonna read you a stat.
- 1:17:00Speaker 2: Here, Josh, don't reach me.
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: I'm gonna read it to you. I know you know
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: this that, but I'm gonna read it to you one
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: more time. Since signing the four year, one hundred and
- 1:17:10Speaker 1: sixty million dollar contract with the Giants before last season,
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: Daniel Jones has thrown more touchdown passes to the opposition
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: three pick sixes than his own team two touchdown passes
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: since his forty million dollar contract per year. So that
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: should explain everything right there. And I feel like this
- 1:17:31Speaker 1: is just a waste of talent of what Malik Neighbors has.
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: It's gonna be unfortunate for Brian day Ball because Brian Dayball,
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: I view him as a bright mind, and he's gonna
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: be calling plays this year. It didn't look too good yesterday,
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: but I feel like he's gonna get the coach fired.
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: And I feel like if Brian Dayball had an actual quarterback,
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: a competent quarterback, then they'd be I wouldn't say they'd
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: be world beaters, but I'd say they'd be middle of
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: the pack, maybe fighting for the playoffs. What are you
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: gonna say? So?
- 1:18:07Speaker 3: Would you take Ryan Daniel over Daniel Jones?
- 1:18:11Speaker 1: Yes? Are we gonna play with you rather? Oh?
- 1:18:15Speaker 2: Yeah, hold on, I'm going to this real quick. I'm
- 1:18:17Speaker 2: trying to find this ship.
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: I would take Malik Willis over Daniel Jones right now?
- 1:18:23Speaker 3: Would you take Trevin's Trevor Simeon over Daniel Jones?
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: When's the last time Trevor Simeon played last year? Right?
- 1:18:32Speaker 2: I have no idea, bro, I don't that's how bad
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: Daniel Jones is. I don't know. We're trying to ask.
- 1:18:39Speaker 1: I'm truly thinking about this. That's how you know.
- 1:18:41Speaker 3: This is bad because the next one we'll come back.
- 1:18:44Speaker 2: Matt. Are you're taking Max Duggan over Daniel Jones?
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: Honestly? Yeah? Yeah?
- 1:18:53Speaker 3: Are you taking Nate Sudfeld over Daniel Jones.
- 1:18:57Speaker 1: Oh, okay, he's not that bad. I'll take Daniel Jones
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: over Nate Sudfield.
- 1:19:03Speaker 3: All right.
- 1:19:03Speaker 2: Here's who I will take over Daniel Jones, Desmond.
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: Rider, Sam Howe. I'll take Sam how These are.
- 1:19:11Speaker 2: Guys that are free that are you're talking free agents
- 1:19:13Speaker 2: right now?
- 1:19:14Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, I'll take Trey Lance over Daniel
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: Jones right now.
- 1:19:21Speaker 3: Okay, hold on not doing that, all right? J Walker?
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: Oh yeah for sure, Yeah for sure.
- 1:19:34Speaker 2: Matt Corrall, Yeah, you know who I would take over
- 1:19:37Speaker 2: Daniel Jones. Will Greer.
- 1:19:39Speaker 3: Let's turn back the club to West Virginia, Babe. I
- 1:19:44Speaker 3: don't know when he was at West Virginia. He was
- 1:19:46Speaker 3: kind of that guy. I'm just saying.
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: He he was, But all right, speaking about this right here,
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: speaking about that guy. So there was a guy a
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: couple of years ago who made an AFC Championship game,
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: made a Super Bowl the year before, and fast forward around,
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: fast forward to two years later, they get embarrassed by
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, in which they get upset and
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: lose sixteen to ten. Shout out to Draw Mail when
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: his first ever NFL game coaching and yeah, side, I know,
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: what the hell we're not oh mj We're we're not
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: having no Matt Corral slander here. This is not on
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: this pot here, not on this pot here. But yeah,
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: all right, Patriots, they.
- 1:20:47Speaker 2: Would It's like it's like it was like Adam Track.
- 1:20:53Speaker 1: Yeah, why why do why do people always go after
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: the most random players? And why it always the Carolina guy.
- 1:21:02Speaker 1: It may be true, it may be true, but but
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 1:21:09Speaker 3: That's crazy Carolina back her out?
- 1:21:13Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and then Adam Feeling.
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: I'm telling you something about these Carolina guys. But yeah, Patriots, Bengals,
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: what did you take away from young?
- 1:21:23Speaker 3: Just took shots today, Dan bro, what's next? Michael Jordan,
- 1:21:27Speaker 3: Let's just do it? He is he is, Stephen Curry,
- 1:21:35Speaker 3: all right, let's move on.
- 1:21:36Speaker 2: Let's move on.
- 1:21:39Speaker 3: You know what I lost? I lost that little what's that?
- 1:21:42Speaker 3: What's that thing? To pick them? You know, once a
- 1:21:44Speaker 3: week elimination you're living? Yeah, but who cares? You know,
- 1:21:49Speaker 3: the bingles, I'm not worried about him. You know, let's
- 1:21:53Speaker 3: let's roll it up for next week. You know we can,
- 1:21:56Speaker 3: We'll be prepared. And here's the problem with this beingle
- 1:22:00Speaker 3: offense they have yet to evolve from that first year.
- 1:22:03Speaker 3: They're still riding on the on the getting the shotgun,
- 1:22:09Speaker 3: snap the ball, quick pass type of offense.
- 1:22:11Speaker 2: That's just it they need. They need to level up
- 1:22:13Speaker 2: a little bit.
- 1:22:13Speaker 3: Defenses already know what to expect with the Cincinnati Bengals.
- 1:22:17Speaker 2: It's just I.
- 1:22:19Speaker 3: Said that, right, that's that's pretty crazy.
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: That's that's a clap. You actually said Cincinnati, right, That's
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: that's great.
- 1:22:29Speaker 3: No, but this Bengals team, I don't know if it
- 1:22:32Speaker 3: was came down to Jamar Chase being out the entirety
- 1:22:35Speaker 3: of camp. I believe, yeah, they're just weren't. They didn't
- 1:22:40Speaker 3: play good football in this one. It just didn't look good.
- 1:22:42Speaker 3: But let's talk about the Bengals aren't good. The Bengals
- 1:22:46Speaker 3: are not. I don't think. I don't know what to
- 1:22:48Speaker 3: expect from them. They did this last year. They started
- 1:22:51Speaker 3: off terrible, but I don't know if it's gonna be
- 1:22:53Speaker 3: the same thing this year. I don't know why they
- 1:22:55Speaker 3: like to do this. I still think they have They're
- 1:22:58Speaker 3: going to make the playoffs. Are they going to be
- 1:23:01Speaker 3: the same team? I don't think so.
- 1:23:03Speaker 2: I think this.
- 1:23:03Speaker 3: I think they need to figure out some things this.
- 1:23:06Speaker 3: This running game was nonexistent.
- 1:23:08Speaker 2: I believe.
- 1:23:09Speaker 3: I know Zach Moss nine perries forty four yards forer
- 1:23:11Speaker 3: point nine, Chase Brown three for eleven, but you need
- 1:23:14Speaker 3: more efficiency. I don't know. I don't think this offensive
- 1:23:16Speaker 3: line really got any better. But as far as it's
- 1:23:19Speaker 3: Patriots side, Rmandre Stevenson, I'm happy. Objected with Moondre Stevenson
- 1:23:24Speaker 3: in most of my fantasy leagues because he didn't damn
- 1:23:26Speaker 3: good yesterday twenty five carries, one hundred and twenty yards
- 1:23:29Speaker 3: and a touchdown. I'm surprised he didn't get more work
- 1:23:33Speaker 3: receiving wise, especially with Jacobe Brissett quarterback to denk and
- 1:23:36Speaker 3: done to take some pressure off. But hey, if it works,
- 1:23:38Speaker 3: it works, don't fix it. Austin Hooper leading the leading
- 1:23:42Speaker 3: the team and receiving yards with thirty one. This is
- 1:23:45Speaker 3: this is a This is not an offensive Patriots team.
- 1:23:48Speaker 3: You know what it is. It's a defensive Patriots team.
- 1:23:51Speaker 3: And what they what they're used to doing. Gerard may
- 1:23:55Speaker 3: I didn't know he had that dog in him, but
- 1:23:57Speaker 3: he does. We doubt I doubt it a little bit.
- 1:24:00Speaker 3: Key on White two and a half sacks. That's that's
- 1:24:03Speaker 3: that's a good game for you, brother, I think. And
- 1:24:06Speaker 3: then let's give it to Christian Goansalves. I think he
- 1:24:08Speaker 3: really made it hard for Jamar Chase to get really going.
- 1:24:12Speaker 3: I understand he still had six catches, but they weren't
- 1:24:15Speaker 3: efficient catches. They were kind of just he had a
- 1:24:20Speaker 3: couple catching runs here and there. But as far as
- 1:24:23Speaker 3: the whole the game as an entirety, Christian Gonzalez really
- 1:24:27Speaker 3: stepped up to the play and I think that's good
- 1:24:29Speaker 3: to see, especially him coming off such a big injury
- 1:24:31Speaker 3: at last year kind of derailed what I thought was
- 1:24:33Speaker 3: going to be a defensive player, defensive rookie of the
- 1:24:35Speaker 3: Year type season. This year, he's back to full form
- 1:24:38Speaker 3: and I think it's good to see for this defensive
- 1:24:41Speaker 3: unit of the Newland Patriots.
- 1:24:43Speaker 1: Yeah, as far as this team right here, this is
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: a rebuilding Patriots right here. But if you could get
- 1:24:49Speaker 1: wins along the way.
- 1:24:51Speaker 2: I feel like with this defense.
- 1:24:53Speaker 1: Yeah, with this defense, I feel like this would be
- 1:24:55Speaker 1: a This is kind of a better version of the
- 1:24:58Speaker 1: Lions like three four years ago. Obviously, you have a
- 1:25:01Speaker 1: young quarterback, he's not playing, but you just have this
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: team trying to change the culture around and you're still
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: finding a way to get some wins, which is good,
- 1:25:11Speaker 1: which is good for them. But yeah, Ramandre twenty five
- 1:25:14Speaker 1: carries one hundred and twenty yards, but thirty nine carries
- 1:25:18Speaker 1: total and one hundred and seventy rushing yards the Bengals.
- 1:25:22Speaker 1: They shouldn't allow that to happen. Bengals, as far as offensively,
- 1:25:26Speaker 1: whatever they did offensively, but allowing one hundred and seventy
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: rushing yards defensively is definitely unacceptable. And I picked the
- 1:25:33Speaker 1: Bengals as my Super Bowl pick. Am I concerned? Maybe? Yes,
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: a little bit, just a little bit.
- 1:25:39Speaker 2: Yep, it was a terrible pick. Terrible pick because they
- 1:25:42Speaker 2: were a terrible football team.
- 1:25:43Speaker 1: Huh. On the panic meter of one to ten, the
- 1:25:48Speaker 1: wrongals of one to ten, I'll probably say I'm out
- 1:25:52Speaker 1: at three already, and it's barely weak. It barely happened.
- 1:25:55Speaker 1: This is barely week one. But again, Bengals, they always
- 1:25:58Speaker 1: start off like this, and again you didn't have t Higgins.
- 1:26:02Speaker 1: But I just think they will look better as far
- 1:26:06Speaker 1: as against Kansas City next week. I'm not saying they're
- 1:26:09Speaker 1: gonna flip the script around next week, but maybe from
- 1:26:12Speaker 1: that point forward. But hey, who knows Bengals. They always
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: like to tee up against Kansas City. They always make
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: it a clean.
- 1:26:20Speaker 2: You know what. You know what they do? They do
- 1:26:23Speaker 2: know what well, I don't care.
- 1:26:26Speaker 3: I don't care. I don't think you know why because
- 1:26:31Speaker 3: we're going twenty you know we're not losing that damn
- 1:26:33Speaker 3: football game. Do you think this Bengals team is gonna
- 1:26:36Speaker 3: be He's not, Lamar Jackson. We'll get to the game
- 1:26:40Speaker 3: in a minute. We'll get to the game in a minute.
- 1:26:41Speaker 1: Cli.
- 1:26:42Speaker 3: But when the pocket breaks down, Joe Burrow ain't running
- 1:26:45Speaker 3: around like that other guy. This guy is gonna get
- 1:26:49Speaker 3: his head taken off by Leo Chanelle, Chris Jones and
- 1:26:53Speaker 3: George car Laughters. But he is not going to end
- 1:26:55Speaker 3: up the same way that it did this last week.
- 1:26:58Speaker 1: Chack clipped that in case something goes wrong this next week, Jack.
- 1:27:03Speaker 2: You think you think I you think I'm scared? Clip
- 1:27:06Speaker 2: everything all, clip it all.
- 1:27:10Speaker 1: But all right, if we're a couple only.
- 1:27:12Speaker 2: Fans, I need you all to clip that too.
- 1:27:15Speaker 1: We're a couple of games away from talking about the
- 1:27:19Speaker 1: Chiefs here, but this last opening game right here that
- 1:27:22Speaker 1: we're going to talk about. If the Arizona Cardinals versus
- 1:27:25Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. And what's the Cardinals? They were up
- 1:27:29Speaker 1: seventeen to three and the next thing you know, the
- 1:27:32Speaker 1: Bills they stormed back and ended up winning this game
- 1:27:34Speaker 1: thirty four to twenty eight. Josh Adam looked amazing in
- 1:27:37Speaker 1: this game, had four total touchdowns. But what did you
- 1:27:39Speaker 1: take away from this one?
- 1:27:42Speaker 3: What did I say Josh Holland to do for him
- 1:27:45Speaker 3: to win MVP put it on his back and that's
- 1:27:48Speaker 3: exactly what he did in this football game. The flip
- 1:27:51Speaker 3: side of what I thought about the Bengals. Bengals ass
- 1:27:55Speaker 3: Bills good at football. Let's just say that I think
- 1:27:58Speaker 3: I think the Bills are. There's no need to hit
- 1:28:01Speaker 3: the panic button just yet. I think Josh Allen is.
- 1:28:05Speaker 3: I don't know why I've low ke he become fond
- 1:28:09Speaker 3: of Josh Allen.
- 1:28:10Speaker 2: I still hate his guts, I still hate the man.
- 1:28:12Speaker 3: I don't like the man at all, but I've been
- 1:28:14Speaker 3: growing fond of his game because I know what he's
- 1:28:17Speaker 3: gonna have to do, and that's ball out. And he
- 1:28:19Speaker 3: balled out in this one eighteen for twenty three two touchdowns.
- 1:28:22Speaker 3: Guess what the what the most important part of it
- 1:28:25Speaker 3: was zero interceptions, zero interceptions for Josh Allen. I think
- 1:28:31Speaker 3: for by Josh Allen. Standers, let's clap it up, clap
- 1:28:35Speaker 3: it up up, yeah, because he turns the football over
- 1:28:39Speaker 3: like crazy, and he didn't in this one.
- 1:28:41Speaker 2: And then along with his his his other.
- 1:28:44Speaker 3: Talent of running the football nine carries, thirty nine yards
- 1:28:46Speaker 3: and two touchdowns really stole some some touches from James Cook.
- 1:28:51Speaker 3: I'm not the biggest believer in James Cook, but hey,
- 1:28:54Speaker 3: you know, Josh Allen's getting the job done. Who's gonna
- 1:28:56Speaker 3: hate on him? And I do like what he did
- 1:28:58Speaker 3: a little bit. I think he got key on Cleman
- 1:28:59Speaker 3: in Mike's just a little bit. Four receptions, fifty one yards.
- 1:29:04Speaker 3: But I would like to see Dalton Kinkaid get some more,
- 1:29:07Speaker 3: get some more burned, you know, please, that would be nice.
- 1:29:12Speaker 2: Dalon Kinkaid.
- 1:29:13Speaker 3: I think getting him involved into this offense will just
- 1:29:16Speaker 3: set it to another level, especially take some pressure off
- 1:29:18Speaker 3: of Josh Allen. I don't know if that was based
- 1:29:20Speaker 3: off him getting double teamed or him being the focal
- 1:29:23Speaker 3: point of the receiving corps going into this game, but
- 1:29:27Speaker 3: I think getting him involved will take a lot more
- 1:29:29Speaker 3: pressure off the rest of the guys as a whole.
- 1:29:32Speaker 2: As far as the flip side, Marvin.
- 1:29:36Speaker 3: Harrison only got three targets in this football game, and
- 1:29:40Speaker 3: the most important one they could have had is at
- 1:29:41Speaker 3: the end of the game where he was streaking wide
- 1:29:43Speaker 3: open off off of vert and Kyler Murray just didn't
- 1:29:48Speaker 3: find him. It's I know, Kyler Murray. We're a big
- 1:29:51Speaker 3: Kyler Murray pod here, you know. But he could have
- 1:29:54Speaker 3: played better in this football game. I think if he
- 1:29:56Speaker 3: did play better, this game would have ended up a
- 1:29:58Speaker 3: little bit different. Greg George, there's no reason why he
- 1:30:00Speaker 3: should be the number one receiver on this football team.
- 1:30:02Speaker 3: You have Trey McBride, you have Marvin Harrison Junior. I
- 1:30:05Speaker 3: think Michael Wilson is the better football player. Let's get
- 1:30:07Speaker 3: these guys involved a little bit more, and I think
- 1:30:09Speaker 3: this team this game turns out a little bit differently
- 1:30:12Speaker 3: than it did. James Connor wasn't super efficient running the football,
- 1:30:16Speaker 3: but this is what what we come to expect with
- 1:30:18Speaker 3: James Connor. But as far as Kyler Murray, man, let's
- 1:30:21Speaker 3: make let's make some big plays when we need to
- 1:30:24Speaker 3: make some big plays.
- 1:30:25Speaker 2: I think this game was fun to watch.
- 1:30:27Speaker 3: It really was but they were up also, I think
- 1:30:30Speaker 3: by two touchdowns in this football game, I think the.
- 1:30:31Speaker 2: Bills came back.
- 1:30:33Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, dude, what's up with the seventeen and three
- 1:30:36Speaker 3: week Yeah, that's kind of that's that's a little bit weird.
- 1:30:40Speaker 3: So I guess the rule of thumb in this year's NFL.
- 1:30:43Speaker 3: Don't be up seventeen to three. He missed the extra point,
- 1:30:47Speaker 3: don't kick the field goal, don't do something, because teams
- 1:30:51Speaker 3: tend to come back when the score is like that.
- 1:30:53Speaker 3: And I think the Cardinals have a lot to learn
- 1:30:55Speaker 3: from this football game, especially trying to get that boy,
- 1:30:57Speaker 3: Marvin Harrison Junior to the football a little bit more.
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: Yeah, as far as Arizona Cardinals right here, just get
- 1:31:03Speaker 1: your playmakers involved right here, I can't talk about much more.
- 1:31:07Speaker 1: You pretty much hit every single point here. And I
- 1:31:10Speaker 1: just feel like their offense changed in the second half.
- 1:31:14Speaker 1: They try to run the ball a little bit too much,
- 1:31:16Speaker 1: they try to slow down the clock. But I feel
- 1:31:19Speaker 1: like this team, they're better when they're a running gun offense.
- 1:31:22Speaker 1: When Kyler Murray's scrambling out of the pocket, he's making plays,
- 1:31:26Speaker 1: extending plays. Being an improviser, that's where you find Marvin Harrison,
- 1:31:30Speaker 1: trade McBride, that's where you find those guys. And I
- 1:31:33Speaker 1: think you'll definitely get a better connection with Marvin Harrison
- 1:31:37Speaker 1: over over the year. It's just a matter of fixing
- 1:31:41Speaker 1: those But I definitely didn't expect Trey McBride to It
- 1:31:45Speaker 1: looked like they were off to some sort, So I
- 1:31:48Speaker 1: think that'll be fixed right there. But as far as
- 1:31:50Speaker 1: with the Buffalo Bills, this was Josh Allen, and Josh Allen,
- 1:31:55Speaker 1: he delivered and like you said, no fumbles, no interception,
- 1:32:00Speaker 1: know nothing, and eighteen for twenty three, two thirty two yards,
- 1:32:04Speaker 1: two touchdowns. That is an amazing stat line. If he
- 1:32:07Speaker 1: could do that every single game, not even the rushing
- 1:32:10Speaker 1: aspect of it. If he could just do that every
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: single game, they're gonna be plenty of They're gonna be
- 1:32:16Speaker 1: in plenty of these ballgames. But let's go and move
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: on to these last two games right here, Josh, in
- 1:32:22Speaker 1: which this game it was a Friday night game, the
- 1:32:26Speaker 1: first Friday night game in Brazil, first game in Brazil,
- 1:32:31Speaker 1: which it featured the Green Bay Packers versus the Philadelphia Eagles,
- 1:32:35Speaker 1: and what's the Eagles? They won thirty four to twenty nine.
- 1:32:38Speaker 1: Some key thing, Sakuon Barkley Shine. Then Jordan Love he
- 1:32:42Speaker 1: has a sprained MCL where he's gonna be out three
- 1:32:46Speaker 1: to six weeks.
- 1:32:47Speaker 2: So my team.
- 1:32:51Speaker 1: But do you take away from this one?
- 1:32:53Speaker 3: Just when we thought the Packers were gonna make that jump,
- 1:32:56Speaker 3: just when we thought they were gonna establish themselves, they
- 1:33:01Speaker 3: just Jordan Love gets hurt. Jordan Love gets hurt, but behind.
- 1:33:06Speaker 3: But you know, shit happens. It happened. Let's hope for
- 1:33:10Speaker 3: his recovery so he can come back and we can
- 1:33:11Speaker 3: see this offense at full strength again. But to be honest,
- 1:33:15Speaker 3: this game wasn't a good game for Jordan Love. I
- 1:33:17Speaker 3: think he could have played a whole hell of a
- 1:33:19Speaker 3: lot better and this game would have ended up differently.
- 1:33:21Speaker 3: I think both defenses could if they could redo this game,
- 1:33:24Speaker 3: they would they both would they, especially with how bad
- 1:33:27Speaker 3: both sides were playing. I think offensively, I don't think
- 1:33:30Speaker 3: this was efficient in any way both sides of the football.
- 1:33:33Speaker 3: The only player that I believe played efficiently in this game.
- 1:33:36Speaker 3: No three players played efficiently in this game. If we're
- 1:33:39Speaker 3: really being honest, Jaden Reed, Sakon Barkley, A J. Brown,
- 1:33:43Speaker 3: and DeVonta Smith. So those were the four guys that
- 1:33:47Speaker 3: really showed up. Outside of that quarterback play was kind
- 1:33:49Speaker 3: of not that good. The running the running game by
- 1:33:52Speaker 3: Josh Jacobs just you know, it wasn't efficient, I believe
- 1:33:56Speaker 3: on the fourth quarter. So that's something that's something that
- 1:34:00Speaker 3: needs to get a little bit better. But having Malik
- 1:34:02Speaker 3: willis now as you're starting quarterback. Let's just chalk this
- 1:34:05Speaker 3: season nothing. Get ready for next season because who knows
- 1:34:07Speaker 3: how long Jordan Love is going to be out. But
- 1:34:10Speaker 3: as far as his Eagles side, I think I believe
- 1:34:14Speaker 3: Jason Kelsey's transition with a little bit missed. I think
- 1:34:19Speaker 3: I hate by by all means. The offensive line was
- 1:34:21Speaker 3: still good. Let's just put it out there. They were
- 1:34:23Speaker 3: still a good offensive line. I just think that connection
- 1:34:25Speaker 3: between Cam Jurgens and Jalen Hurts has.
- 1:34:28Speaker 2: To be built up, because it is.
- 1:34:30Speaker 3: It's different when you get a different we need to
- 1:34:32Speaker 3: get a different spin on that on that ball when
- 1:34:35Speaker 3: it comes back to you after the hike, and it's
- 1:34:37Speaker 3: I think it's gonna take some getting used to, especially
- 1:34:39Speaker 3: we saw on that the the to push that they
- 1:34:43Speaker 3: were trying to do and they fumbled. Just the connections
- 1:34:46Speaker 3: isn't there yet I don't. I'm not too worried about it.
- 1:34:48Speaker 3: They'll figure it out. They're a good there's still a
- 1:34:50Speaker 3: great offensive line. I believe Cam Jurgens is still going
- 1:34:52Speaker 3: to be a great player. All that, But the biggest
- 1:34:55Speaker 3: thing is what did we say about Sakuon Barkley getting
- 1:35:00Speaker 3: behind a good offensive line? You better watch out because
- 1:35:04Speaker 3: dude have played big time in this one. Twenty four
- 1:35:07Speaker 3: carries and nine yards, two touchdowns. Especially we thought it
- 1:35:11Speaker 3: was gonna be the flip side where Jalen Hurts stole
- 1:35:14Speaker 3: some touchdowns from Saquon Barkley. But yeah, what we learned
- 1:35:17Speaker 3: from this game, Saquon Barkley's first and Jalen Hurts comes second.
- 1:35:20Speaker 3: Because Sekwon Barkley had those two goal line carries that
- 1:35:24Speaker 3: led to one of them led to a touchdown.
- 1:35:26Speaker 2: And the other one was kind of a bigger run
- 1:35:27Speaker 2: by him.
- 1:35:28Speaker 3: And then he also had to efficiency receiving the ball
- 1:35:30Speaker 3: to two carries twenty three yards in a touchdown.
- 1:35:33Speaker 2: And what did I say?
- 1:35:34Speaker 3: He is the best player on this football team and
- 1:35:36Speaker 3: he showed that in this game.
- 1:35:38Speaker 1: Yeah, this, like you said, Sakuon Barkley, this is all
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: going to depend on him right here, and it was
- 1:35:45Speaker 1: a great game to start off. And I think he's
- 1:35:48Speaker 1: a second player in Eagles history to have three touchdowns
- 1:35:51Speaker 1: in their opening game. I think t O was the
- 1:35:53Speaker 1: other one.
- 1:35:54Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:35:54Speaker 1: Yeah, this was a just great game by him. And
- 1:35:58Speaker 1: as far as with Jalen Hurts, I am still not
- 1:36:01Speaker 1: bought in on him. I'm gonna say this and I'm
- 1:36:05Speaker 1: gonna try to put this together as best as I can.
- 1:36:07Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, he's gonna put he's gonna put together top
- 1:36:13Speaker 1: five quarterback stats, but he's barely in that top ten
- 1:36:17Speaker 1: range as far as quarterback when you watch the tape,
- 1:36:20Speaker 1: when you're actually watching the game, because when watching this game,
- 1:36:24Speaker 1: it's like, oh my goodness, Jalen Hurts, he's making another mistake.
- 1:36:28Speaker 1: He missed another read. He had three turnovers in this game,
- 1:36:31Speaker 1: in which he should have had for because that other fumble.
- 1:36:34Speaker 1: He had two total fumbles. So yeah, Jalen Hurts. It's
- 1:36:39Speaker 1: still kind of a little bit ify there. The defense,
- 1:36:42Speaker 1: I thought it would be a little bit better, but
- 1:36:44Speaker 1: again you were going up against Jordan Love, which they
- 1:36:47Speaker 1: have a dynamic offense, which even to be fair here
- 1:36:52Speaker 1: Jordan Love, he wasn't the most efficient. It was just
- 1:36:55Speaker 1: the big plays by Jayden Reid. It was a big
- 1:36:58Speaker 1: play by Jaden Reid, and and that's what really just
- 1:37:02Speaker 1: led the momentum for this right here. And I know,
- 1:37:07Speaker 1: I know you talked about it as far as with
- 1:37:09Speaker 1: the Packers, but that was my other big overreaction right
- 1:37:12Speaker 1: here is that the Packer season it's over. It's done
- 1:37:15Speaker 1: three to six weeks. So I have some of their
- 1:37:19Speaker 1: schedule listed right here. So next week you got the Colts,
- 1:37:22Speaker 1: then the Titans, Vikings, Rams, Cardinals, Texans, Jaguars, Lions, Bears,
- 1:37:29Speaker 1: forty nine, Ers, Dolphins, Lions. So even if Jordan Love
- 1:37:33Speaker 1: comes back, sure you would be coming back against the Rams.
- 1:37:37Speaker 1: Then you have Cardinals, Texans. So I know Jordan Love,
- 1:37:41Speaker 1: he just got that contract, it's secured. But you don't
- 1:37:44Speaker 1: want to risk a torn mcl a torn acl. You
- 1:37:48Speaker 1: don't want to you don't want to add that. And realistically,
- 1:37:53Speaker 1: if Jordan Love comes back after three weeks, I think
- 1:37:56Speaker 1: they could be owned four. And if they're owned four,
- 1:37:58Speaker 1: don't even risk it. Just let him get completely healthy.
- 1:38:01Speaker 1: Then come back, what maybe week eight, week nine in
- 1:38:05Speaker 1: the season where he's fully healthy, and we'll see, maybe
- 1:38:09Speaker 1: you'll get a high draft pick. But I'm that's my
- 1:38:12Speaker 1: biggest takeaway. I'm not completely sold on the Eagles yet
- 1:38:15Speaker 1: because of Jalen Hurts and their defense, but I am
- 1:38:18Speaker 1: sold one hundred percent on Saquon Barkley in a Eagles uniform.
- 1:38:23Speaker 1: But all right, this last game right here that we're
- 1:38:27Speaker 1: gonna talk about before we wrap this episode up. It
- 1:38:30Speaker 1: is the two time Super Bowl defending champ versus the
- 1:38:36Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens, a rematch of the AFC Championship and which
- 1:38:41Speaker 1: the Chiefs find a way to pull it through and
- 1:38:42Speaker 1: they win twenty seven to twenty. After the Ravens drive
- 1:38:46Speaker 1: down the field, Isaiah likely he almost makes a touchdown
- 1:38:50Speaker 1: grab but just a toe out. So Josh, what did
- 1:38:55Speaker 1: you take away from your Chiefs here?
- 1:38:59Speaker 3: I believe that this offense looks a hell of a
- 1:39:03Speaker 3: lot more efficient than they did last season. I think
- 1:39:07Speaker 3: I think they got the ball down the field. Last
- 1:39:09Speaker 3: season we only had four four we only ever since Tyree,
- 1:39:14Speaker 3: we've only had four touchdowns over twenty plus yards. Xavier
- 1:39:19Speaker 3: Worthy alone had to this last game, and I'm not
- 1:39:21Speaker 3: I'm not harping on the fact that Xavier Worthy had
- 1:39:24Speaker 3: had He had a big game I'm not gonna harp
- 1:39:26Speaker 3: on that. What I am gonna harp on is the
- 1:39:28Speaker 3: missed opportunities we had. We should have won this game
- 1:39:30Speaker 3: by a whole lot more. Let me, I'll put that
- 1:39:32Speaker 3: out there and I and I know it's gonna sound
- 1:39:35Speaker 3: like me being a fan, but if we really go
- 1:39:37Speaker 3: back and watch the tape of this game, Isaiah Pacheco
- 1:39:40Speaker 3: dropped walking touchdown, Travis Kelce dropped at the first down
- 1:39:44Speaker 3: would have been within the five yard line.
- 1:39:46Speaker 2: That could change to Isaiah Pachecko.
- 1:39:47Speaker 3: Run in a little red zone offense could lead to
- 1:39:50Speaker 3: a field goal. We had a Juju Smith Schuster on
- 1:39:52Speaker 3: the other side, corner route drop would have been a
- 1:39:54Speaker 3: first down inside the three yard line that changes the game.
- 1:39:57Speaker 3: And then I think one of the most important ones
- 1:39:59Speaker 3: was Toama jp Ryan where Mahomes overthrew him a little
- 1:40:03Speaker 3: bit off off of a flat would have led a
- 1:40:05Speaker 3: first down, but if you flipped the camera there was
- 1:40:07Speaker 3: nothing but green grass right there. I'm not saying Samaj
- 1:40:10Speaker 3: Pierreen would have had to speed to turn it into
- 1:40:12Speaker 3: a touchdown, but he would have. He would have for
- 1:40:16Speaker 3: sure got some yardage on there and it could have
- 1:40:17Speaker 3: led to a field goal could have left a touchdown.
- 1:40:19Speaker 3: So this game had left a lot on the table
- 1:40:21Speaker 3: for the Kansas City Chiefs. And you know what's even
- 1:40:23Speaker 3: scarier about a Hollywood ground didn't even play in this one,
- 1:40:25Speaker 3: So it's there's there's a lot more that left in
- 1:40:29Speaker 3: the tank for this team. But I what I am
- 1:40:30Speaker 3: happy to see is for she Rice's establishment as the
- 1:40:34Speaker 3: as a as the go to guy in this offense.
- 1:40:36Speaker 3: I think I understand that Xavier really had the big plays,
- 1:40:39Speaker 3: the big touchdowns, but she Rice really got this team
- 1:40:43Speaker 3: moving at a good efficiency throughout this entire game. He
- 1:40:46Speaker 3: was definitely the safety valve that that Travis Kelshley usually is,
- 1:40:50Speaker 3: but he was that for Patrick Mahomes in this football game.
- 1:40:52Speaker 3: And I think Patrick Mahomes didn't have to do too
- 1:40:54Speaker 3: much in this game. Sure the stats are going to
- 1:40:55Speaker 3: blow you away, but Mahomes didn't have to be exactly
- 1:40:58Speaker 3: Mahomes in this one to win the football game, which
- 1:41:00Speaker 3: is kind of scary for football teams because he didn't
- 1:41:02Speaker 3: have to go deep into making these big, crazy plays
- 1:41:05Speaker 3: to win this football game.
- 1:41:07Speaker 2: That's what I saw from the Chiefs.
- 1:41:09Speaker 3: But as far as this Ravens side, Lamar Jackson on
- 1:41:13Speaker 3: when you look at the stats, don't look like he
- 1:41:15Speaker 3: played a great football game. But a lot of his
- 1:41:18Speaker 3: stuff came from broken down, broken down plays where he
- 1:41:22Speaker 3: had to do a lot with his legs. That's where
- 1:41:23Speaker 3: the sixteen charriage one hundred and twenty two yards came from.
- 1:41:26Speaker 3: And this Chiefs defense, by all means, didn't play bad football.
- 1:41:29Speaker 3: They were gassed trasing that guy all around the field
- 1:41:32Speaker 3: and you could see it definitely in those last two
- 1:41:34Speaker 3: drives that that the Ravens were putting together, because there
- 1:41:37Speaker 3: was guys just leaning over, huffing and puffing arms on
- 1:41:40Speaker 3: the hips. It just wasn't good for and they just
- 1:41:44Speaker 3: couldn't get him off the field because every time Chris
- 1:41:46Speaker 3: Jones would beat his block, Lamar Jackson just runs the
- 1:41:49Speaker 3: opposite direction or runs away. And I think that's what
- 1:41:52Speaker 3: the Ravens game plan switched to. I think we were
- 1:41:54Speaker 3: kind of confused while they were putting them. Was it
- 1:41:57Speaker 3: bj is it Justice Hill blocking Chris Jones? Are letting
- 1:42:01Speaker 3: him basically letting Chris Jones basically win that matchup just
- 1:42:05Speaker 3: so Lamar Jackson can run right past them while but
- 1:42:09Speaker 3: before taking the sacks, so they knew the game plan
- 1:42:11Speaker 3: towards the end of that one. That's why they and
- 1:42:14Speaker 3: we did get it's a game of inches with Isaiah Likely.
- 1:42:17Speaker 3: But I will say this about Isaiah Likely, he's a
- 1:42:19Speaker 3: big time player. I think he established himself as a
- 1:42:22Speaker 3: guy that they can go to in this offense because.
- 1:42:25Speaker 2: They are lacking wide receivers.
- 1:42:27Speaker 3: Jay Flowers is a good receiver, but if it's not
- 1:42:30Speaker 3: closer to the line of scrimmage, he's kind of inefficient
- 1:42:32Speaker 3: deep down the field. And this is where Isaiah Likely
- 1:42:34Speaker 3: could kind of bring that little extra inness because we
- 1:42:37Speaker 3: know what Mark Andrews is when he does get involved.
- 1:42:39Speaker 3: But Isaiah Likely playing like this can only lead to
- 1:42:42Speaker 3: good things for the Baltimore Ravens.
- 1:42:45Speaker 1: So I'm gonna start off with the Ravens here first
- 1:42:49Speaker 1: before I get into the Chiefs. And like you were saying, statistically,
- 1:42:52Speaker 1: it looks like a great game from the Baltimore Ravens,
- 1:42:55Speaker 1: but just or for Lamar Jackson. But this offensive line
- 1:43:00Speaker 1: for the Ravens, it's going to be a problem. They're saying, Oh,
- 1:43:02Speaker 1: you have six eight guys, three hundred pound guys that
- 1:43:06Speaker 1: are blocking for Lamar Jackson. Now that doesn't matter. You
- 1:43:09Speaker 1: still have to be good at football, and there was
- 1:43:13Speaker 1: just as far as one thing that a lot of
- 1:43:15Speaker 1: people they're not talking about here is it's a theory,
- 1:43:21Speaker 1: which I know some people they talk about the brain dump.
- 1:43:23Speaker 1: As far as when half of your staff they go
- 1:43:26Speaker 1: somewhere else. Mike McDonald with that defense, he left and
- 1:43:31Speaker 1: took a bunch of people with him to Seattle or
- 1:43:33Speaker 1: they went different places. So I know you have or
- 1:43:37Speaker 1: John Harbaugh and Todd Monkin there, but everybody else they're
- 1:43:40Speaker 1: pretty much brand new. So that's an adjusting period there.
- 1:43:45Speaker 1: And as far as with the Ravens, they were never
- 1:43:47Speaker 1: really able to establish the run. I'm not trying to
- 1:43:50Speaker 1: talk about the Cowboys here, but all I'm saying is
- 1:43:53Speaker 1: Zekey had ten carries forty yards in a touchdown. Derick
- 1:43:56Speaker 1: Henry had thirteen carries forty six yards in a touchdown.
- 1:44:00Speaker 1: Let's really talk about it, like what was the difference
- 1:44:02Speaker 1: between Week one and defensive lines? Defenses they're kind of similar,
- 1:44:07Speaker 1: let's be real here. Anyways, I'm not trying to get
- 1:44:10Speaker 1: on that tangent there, but let me get back to
- 1:44:12Speaker 1: what I was saying, Isaiah, likely that guy is going
- 1:44:15Speaker 1: to be a star in the future. Whenever Mark Andrews retires.
- 1:44:20Speaker 1: I don't know if he's not completely healthy. I know
- 1:44:23Speaker 1: he was in a car accident in the offseason. But
- 1:44:27Speaker 1: I think whenever Mark Andrews he leaves, I think Isaiah
- 1:44:32Speaker 1: likely there's a great chance he could end up being
- 1:44:34Speaker 1: a top ten tight end easily in this league from
- 1:44:37Speaker 1: what he showed yesterday or not yesterday on Thursday. Because
- 1:44:40Speaker 1: Kansas City don't get it twisted. They have one of
- 1:44:44Speaker 1: the best defenses in the league, and I honestly think
- 1:44:48Speaker 1: they had a damn good game plan defensively. They held
- 1:44:51Speaker 1: Lamarn check for then most of the game other than
- 1:44:56Speaker 1: the first drive and then those last two drives right there,
- 1:45:00Speaker 1: that was the only time. Yeah, and yeah they were gased.
- 1:45:04Speaker 1: But as far as with the Kansas City Chiefs, here
- 1:45:08Speaker 1: the Chiefs who are not able to establish the run here,
- 1:45:11Speaker 1: but Mahomes, he looked comfortable, no pressure twenty for twenty eight,
- 1:45:16Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty one yards to touchdown that pick.
- 1:45:18Speaker 1: It was egregious, But I'm gonna give Mahomes a pass.
- 1:45:21Speaker 2: Terrible terrible play, terrible play by him.
- 1:45:23Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a pass here because he usually
- 1:45:26Speaker 1: doesn't make those right there. Offensive line look perfectly normal.
- 1:45:30Speaker 1: Rashie Rice. He is an absolute star. And I know
- 1:45:36Speaker 1: that suspension it's not gonna happen till next year. But
- 1:45:39Speaker 1: this dude, if he can continue this pace right here,
- 1:45:44Speaker 1: then maybe I know there's a bunch of good wide
- 1:45:47Speaker 1: receivers in this league, but having the best quarterback in
- 1:45:50Speaker 1: the league, you can maybe emerge yourself as a top
- 1:45:52Speaker 1: ten wide receiver in the league. Because this isn't crazy
- 1:45:56Speaker 1: what he did right here. Seven catches, one hundred and
- 1:45:58Speaker 1: three yards towards the end of the year, and in
- 1:46:00Speaker 1: the playoffs, he was putting up these exact same stat lines.
- 1:46:04Speaker 1: He just carried it over from next or the next year.
- 1:46:07Speaker 1: So and then Xavier Worthy. I wasn't high on Xavier Worthy.
- 1:46:12Speaker 1: You weren't really high on Xavier Worthy. We're we're really skeptical.
- 1:46:16Speaker 1: Not that we're saying he was going to be a bust,
- 1:46:18Speaker 1: but he shows that he could be a real game
- 1:46:22Speaker 1: changer as far as if it's a jet sweep or
- 1:46:25Speaker 1: if it's just stretching the ball down the field, he's
- 1:46:27Speaker 1: a real threat. And it just adds a different element
- 1:46:31Speaker 1: they haven't had since Tyreek Hill. They haven't had that.
- 1:46:35Speaker 1: But you still have Rashid Rice, Travis Kelce, and all
- 1:46:40Speaker 1: I'm saying is that whenever this Chiefs run game, it
- 1:46:43Speaker 1: gets going. Because Isaiah Pacheco really didn't get going. He
- 1:46:46Speaker 1: had the efficiency, but he didn't get going. I think
- 1:46:50Speaker 1: it's gonna be really scary because the Chiefs, they showed
- 1:46:53Speaker 1: all last year they could beat you defensively, they could
- 1:46:56Speaker 1: beat you high scoring, and in this game right here,
- 1:46:59Speaker 1: they're gonna do whatever it takes to win. So just
- 1:47:01Speaker 1: great win by the champs and we'll see what they
- 1:47:06Speaker 1: do against Cincinnati. That's all I'm gonna say.
- 1:47:09Speaker 3: Yeah, But I think in this one what's to be
- 1:47:11Speaker 3: seen also is with Leo Chanell. I think I think
- 1:47:16Speaker 3: Leo Chanelle is going to be a big, a big
- 1:47:18Speaker 3: part of this defense. And I understand that we lost them,
- 1:47:22Speaker 3: we lost Lugarious Need, but I think we could make up.
- 1:47:25Speaker 2: I don't.
- 1:47:25Speaker 3: I think Jamleen Watson played good football for what he's
- 1:47:28Speaker 3: asked to do in this one. He had a couple
- 1:47:30Speaker 3: of big plays, but and Schmark Conne needs to learn
- 1:47:34Speaker 3: how to break down a little bit. He needs to
- 1:47:35Speaker 3: learn how to, you know, be a little bit more
- 1:47:37Speaker 3: patient when he's going for a tackle because because he
- 1:47:41Speaker 3: because if he makes some of those flat some of
- 1:47:43Speaker 3: those tackles in the flat, this game is completely different.
- 1:47:45Speaker 3: He was just running a four to four one two
- 1:47:50Speaker 3: trying to beat people out the flat because every time
- 1:47:55Speaker 3: he's near or Bro was flying past them.
- 1:47:58Speaker 2: But let's not get twisted.
- 1:48:00Speaker 3: This this the reason why Lamar Jackson has so many
- 1:48:03Speaker 3: rushing yards because how quick this defense was getting to him.
- 1:48:07Speaker 3: This defensive line was creating so much pressure he was
- 1:48:11Speaker 3: as soon as he snapped the ball, he was already
- 1:48:12Speaker 3: looking to run out of the pocket. Yeah, and I
- 1:48:15Speaker 3: think that's gonna that's gonna be scary for some teams
- 1:48:17Speaker 3: going forward that don't have Lamar Jackson in the backfield
- 1:48:20Speaker 3: who can just create more with his legs.
- 1:48:21Speaker 2: Because I think this, I think this team got better
- 1:48:25Speaker 2: this year. Let's just say that.
- 1:48:26Speaker 3: I think this team is gonna be better than they
- 1:48:28Speaker 3: were the last two seasons.
- 1:48:29Speaker 1: Yeah, No, for sure, I think so too. And this defense,
- 1:48:34Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna be I don't think they're
- 1:48:37Speaker 1: gonna be that historic level. Bro.
- 1:48:39Speaker 3: It's gonna be hard, yeah, but I think but holding
- 1:48:42Speaker 3: holding the Ravens to twenty points is a good start.
- 1:48:45Speaker 1: It is. It is a very good start, and we'll
- 1:48:47Speaker 1: see whenever they have I know the Bengals they struggled
- 1:48:51Speaker 1: last week, but the Bengals are still a viable threat.
- 1:48:55Speaker 1: They should have t Higgins back, Jamar Chase, Joe Burrow
- 1:48:58Speaker 1: is still there and it is a good rival. Then
- 1:49:01Speaker 1: you have the Falcons the following week. So I think
- 1:49:04Speaker 1: it's gonna show what the Chiefs. I'm not saying the
- 1:49:08Speaker 1: Chiefs they have to prove anything, but if they can
- 1:49:11Speaker 1: continue their dominance, that's all I'm have to say. But
- 1:49:16Speaker 1: all right, we officially covered every single game, and like
- 1:49:21Speaker 1: we do every single week, we have our so called
- 1:49:25Speaker 1: MVPs of the week, and this is the first one
- 1:49:29Speaker 1: of the regular season. So, Josh, who is your first
- 1:49:32Speaker 1: so called MVP of the NFL season?
- 1:49:36Speaker 3: You know who I'm gonna give it to. I'm gonna
- 1:49:38Speaker 3: give it to that boy, Ramon Dre Stevenson. I know
- 1:49:43Speaker 3: that's kind of like a little bit of random one,
- 1:49:45Speaker 3: but I think he had a big game. I think
- 1:49:46Speaker 3: he was part of the reason why this why this
- 1:49:48Speaker 3: Patriots team won one.
- 1:49:51Speaker 2: To begin with.
- 1:49:52Speaker 3: Offensively, he was basically the focal point of the entire offense.
- 1:49:56Speaker 3: He was the guy that really kept this offense moving
- 1:49:59Speaker 3: and got them to got them the lone score, the
- 1:50:02Speaker 3: loan touchdown, twenty five carries, one twenty yards in a
- 1:50:04Speaker 3: Touchdow'm gonna give it to Rwando Stephens for my so
- 1:50:06Speaker 3: called MVP of the Week for the first one of
- 1:50:08Speaker 3: this NFL season.
- 1:50:10Speaker 1: So I wanted to be biased here, but yeah, yeah,
- 1:50:16Speaker 1: I wanted to go somebody on the Cowboys defense. But
- 1:50:19Speaker 1: I'm still being a little bit bias here. I'm gonna
- 1:50:22Speaker 1: give it to the One, the Only, the true Heisman himself,
- 1:50:26Speaker 1: mister Baker Mayfield. Two hundred and eighty nine yards, four touchdowns,
- 1:50:31Speaker 1: and then I don't know why it didn't pop twenty
- 1:50:35Speaker 1: four for thirty and a one forty six point four
- 1:50:38Speaker 1: passer rating, which is absolutely incredible. This dude is just
- 1:50:42Speaker 1: falling in Shout out to the Heisman, man, he's a
- 1:50:46Speaker 1: fan favorite.
- 1:50:46Speaker 2: Out to the Heisman.
- 1:50:49Speaker 1: Yeah, the Only. Yeah. But all right, Josh, any last
- 1:50:53Speaker 1: words before we get out of here.
