  Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Hey everybody, DJ Buck you RTT back with you here
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: on move the sticks. As we look forward to the
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: weekend and what's at stake specifically in the af SE.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Let's set the table a little bit here as we
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: get started. Teams that are locked, meaning they are not moving.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: They are stuck in their seed for better or for worse.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: The Ravens have locked up the number one seed. The
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Chiefs are going to be your three seed. The Browns
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: are going to be your five seed. So keep that
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: in mind when you're looking at what those teams might
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: be playing with, who they might be resting as we
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: head into the weekend. Now, there's plenty of teams with
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: something to play for. And we'll start here with the
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: first one buck and that is Bills and Dolphins. This
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: is pretty simple. The winner of this thing is going
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: to be the two seeds. So there is quite a
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: lot on the line here at division championship, and you'll
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: be locked into the two seed. If the Dolphins were
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: to lose this game, they would go to the sixth
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: seed is where they would find themselves. So you talk
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: about a swing from two to six and the Bills.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: They're scenarios. We can go through all of them as
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: you look at the Bills can be the two seed
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: division champs or they can be out of the playoffs.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: So pretty incredible here with what's at stake? What are
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: you looking for here in this matchup a beat up
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Dolphins team taking on the Buffalo Bills in Miami.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Well, the playoffs started this weekend and so dj typically
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: what we look at are two things.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: We look at.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Quarterbacks and we look at pass rush.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Well, when we look at.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: The quarterbacks, to me, there's a decided advantage for Josh Allen.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen has the ability to throw the cape on
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: at any point and become the superhero that the Buffalo
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Bills need. Maybe they need a superhero like effort this
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: week with everything on the line. We seen him run it,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: we've seen them throw, We've seen him make plays a
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: bunch of different ways, and so he always can take
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: over the game. And then when it comes to the
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: pass rush for the Buffalo Bills, can they generate enough
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: pressure on two a tugobloa to make him uncomfortable so
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: he's not able to get the ball out Jalen wat
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: and Tyreek Hill. Because with all the injuries kind of
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: robbing the Dolphins of their pass rush, they have to
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: really score points at a prolific pace, and I don't
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: know if the Buffalo Bill's defense will allow them to
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: do that because they can't get up to the pass
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: and disrupt the rhythm and timing of the passing game.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Look, and I know this game's down to South Florida,
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: you know, for Buffalo, it's kind of one of those
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: weird things in early January, you know, in the winter time,
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: to go from Orchard Park, New York, down to sunny
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: South Florida and to sit on that sunny side of
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: the stadium might be a little bit of a rude
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: awakening for those guys down there. But look, I do
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: think that when it comes down to matchups like this,
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: you do look at the way both these quarterbacks are playing,
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: and it's hard not to say that Josh Allen is playing,
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: you know, is the better quarterback in this at this
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: current time as these two teams get back on the field.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: And then it's also kind of strange to think that
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: the Bills might have a more effective run game at
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: this point in the Sea. I don't think we'd ever
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: thought that with almost any team that the Buffalo Bills
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: were playing, especially not one that runs it is as
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: well and as effectively as the Dolphins have, you know,
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: all season long. But I do think that that has
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: been kind of the you know, that little piece of
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: magic for the Bills during this resurgent period that they've
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: had since Joe Brady took over his offensive coordinator and
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: they found some rhythm and some confidence with it.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: DJ.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, that's a great point. I would just say
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: in that first meeting, obviously, Josh Allen and the Bills
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: hammered the Dolphins. Josh Allen played great, outplayed too and
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: that one. But Miami did run the ball a little bit. Han,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I think he had over one hundred yards being able
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: to run the ball, And I think incorporating these whiteouts,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: we'll see what the health is like for Miami, but
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: incorporating the white outs in the run game as well,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I think would be big. I would caution about being
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: overly concerned, you know, about their the recent struggles for
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the Dolphins running the rock when you look at who
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: they've played over their last three games. When you've played Baltimore,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: and Baltimore jumped on you, so you're not going to
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: run the ball there. Dallas, which is a good defense,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the Jets, which are a good defense as well. So
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: you know, I think that is a little bit of
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: a reason why I let's slow down. I think that
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: they will be able to run the ball a little
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: bit in that contest. But if you're gonna ask me
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: where I'm leaning, I am definitely leading towards Josh Allen
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: and the Buffalo Bills just the way that they look
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: and feel health wise and performance wise. It's hard to
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: go in any of the other direction. With the Steelers.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: We've got the Steelers in the Ravens. The Ravens again locked,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: so they don't really have anything to play for except
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: for the fact that they traditionally don't like the Pittsburgh
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Steelers and would probably love to push them out of
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. So if you look at it from the
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Steelers standpoint, what they need the Steelers and pulling it
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: up here. They can clinch a playoff berth with win
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: at Baltimore and a Jacksonville loss, win at Baltimore and
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: a Buffalo loss or Jacksonville loses, Denver beats the Raiders
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and Houston Andy doesn't end in a tie. So they
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: have three different scenarios with a senior tournament, none of
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: which well, I guess basically they need to win though,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: to have their best odds here, they need to win
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: against a Ravens team that we would all assume will
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: be resting starters here. Rhet what do you need to
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: see for Pittsburgh and are we confident in them if
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: they can get into this tournament that they can do
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: some damage.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Well, now that Santa's done, could Rudolph still lead the way?
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: I think it is kind of the question.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: And so I mean, like it's that's where Mike Tomlin's going, right,
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: Kenny Pickett's ready to roll. It sounds like, but they're
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: gonna stick with the hot hand and Mason Rudolph has
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: provided such a nice boost for them. I mean, like
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: this guy was how many people forgot that he was
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: even on the roster, you know, after Kenny Pickett and
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: you know, Mitch Trubisky came in and it was like, well,
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: you know, we're going to keep it. How many teams
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: also keep a quarterback you know that experienced as a
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: number three, So you know, credit to the Steelers for
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: pulling out all the stops to find a way to
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: stay relevant down the stretch here, to get the most
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: out of the offense in these last couple of games.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: And credit to Mason Rudolph for staying sharp. So I
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: think Rudolf has got to be a guy. And look,
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: obviously we'll see what's going on with the Ravens and
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: how they end up playing this thing. But I think
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: Rudolf's got a chance here to keep this, keep the
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: Steelers in this at least to control They're part of things,
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: you know, as we get closer, you know, in a
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: rivalry game like this, and as we get closer to
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: finding out how the Ravens are going to play.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: It, So a couple of different things. Because the natural
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: assumptions that the Baltimore Ravens can kind of take their
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: foot off the gas. The one cautionary tale that the
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Ravens have that kind of strikes with them is twenty nineteen,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: they were in a similar situation, number one seed season
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers. They didn't play Lamar, they
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: didn't play their starters, but still beat the Pittsburgh Steelers
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: twenty eight to ten and so they don't like the Steelers.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I think they look at ity be nineteen days from
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: this game into when they were playing the playoffs. That's
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: a long time for some russ to accumulate on the team.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I think they go after. Maybe they don't play Lamar Jackson,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: but Tyler Huntley's played at a high level for them,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: and they only can rest seven guys. They can't rest
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: the entire team, so they're going to play. I think
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: this is one for Baltimore. They would like nothing better
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: than to knock off the Steelers, to play the game
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: at a level where they retained their edge, but then
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: they're to get some of the starters out. I think
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: this is gonna be a very competitive game for the
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Baltimore Raves. I think they're gonna go after because they
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: want to continue to build that momentum going into the postseason.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: No doubt. Let's get to the next one here. Two
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: more games that have something on the line. Here, Texans
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Colts winning you're in with a chance to win the division,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: depending on if Jacksonville were to lose. We'll get to
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the Jacksonville game in just a second. But you know
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: one thing, you win this game, you punch your ticket
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: for the postseason. I'll start here on the textan side
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: of things. I went back and watched the Stroud tape
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: this morning. I wanted to see him. Man, let's not
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: miss how special a year this dude is happened. I
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: know he missed a little bit at a time with the
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: injured man watching that tape. He is on balance and
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: on platform every single snap. I mean, he might have
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the cleanest feet of any young quarterback I've seen come
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: into the league. Where It is impressive. Man, he gets
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: his feet underneath him, they're in the ground. His eyes
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: are sharp, he knows where to go with the ball
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: and the balls out. He's also showing the ability if
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: he needs so, he can move around. They designed some
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: rollout to get him on the move as well. But
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the stuff he does from the pocket on time Bucket's ridiculous.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: How well this kid is playing. And man, I hate
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: that I didn't see that this was he was capable
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: of this this early going through the draft process, because
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: it has been it's been amazing.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Look, man, it's been a learning experience for everyone who
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: studies quarterbacks. What do we miss on CJ.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Stroud?
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Like when he was coming out because DJ haven't watched
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: him up close and personal twice when they faced the Jaguars.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, this dude has it all. He has every
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: pitch in the bag. He has poised, he has confidence
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: and charisma. His guys like him. He has the toughness
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: that you're looking for and the high i Q. He
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: does it in this game. Because we talked about in
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: these big games it comes down to quarterbacks. So now
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: you have CJ. Stroud on one end, government you on
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: the other than it on the other end, who's a
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: river bowl gamba. But he's played well. Change Stikeen has
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: done a really good job of putting him in situations
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: to be successful. The Raiders tried to zero blitz him
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: and all that, and he looked, avoided and made plays
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: in this game. When it comes down to efficiency and
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: the effectiveness from the quarterback position, it obviously tips towards
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: c J. Stroud, But don't discount what Garner Minshew is
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: being able to do because as much as we talk
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: about hey just being Anthony Riches and team and all
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: of that other stuff, Garner Minshew is auditioning not only
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: for the Colts but for other teams to be a starter.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: This is a big, big platform, big stage for him.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: We'll see if he can raise his game and see
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: if they can knock off the team, because if he
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: leaves this team to the postseason, he is going to
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: have some suitors knocking on his door with a potential
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: starting job.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: We showed the graphic of teams that were leading the
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: league in sacks. Remember the Colts are right up there,
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: right in the top five, and Laramie Tunsel went out
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: in the first quarter with a growing injury for the
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: Texans and did not return.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: What's his status moving forward?
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: And then, you know, because they've been banged up along
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: the offensive line really all season long, and so this
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: would not be a great day to have c J.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Stroud under siege because eb you, Cam Pay and Dangbo.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: You know, with almost twenty five twenty six sacks combined
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: between the three of them could certainly get after it.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: And to Forrest Buckner in the interior, two can can
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: wreak some havoc. So like that, that's the part that
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: that kind of feels like a path to victory for
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: the Colts is if they can can continue to get
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: like that kind of consistent pressure, you know on CJ.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Stroud and kind of take them out of that part
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: of their rhythm passing game and their ability to kind
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: of take some of those deep shots.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: But I still feel confident. I mean c J.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: Stroud is a better quarterback in this matchup, and you know,
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: if the Colts can run the ball and maybe kind
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: of take the air out of the ball a little bit,
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: maybe that maybe that changes things. But I still feel
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: pretty confident in the way that the Texans are playing,
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: even though they got to go on the road in Indianapolis
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: and get their biggest win of the season.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, those teams won't have a chance to win
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the division if Bucky and the Jags take care of
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: their business here. The Jags win and they clenched the division.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: They're playing Tennessee Buck. The first time you were there,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: they smash them in that contest. Well, thirty four to fourteen.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Is there there any reason for you to be nervous
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: about this game against Tennessee from the Jag standpoint.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's always an opportunity for a team
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: to rise up. We've seen each and every week. Teams
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: can play and a lot of it depends on who plays.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Will Levis went out with an injury. Ryan Tannehill came
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: in last week against the Texans. Look, he looked. The
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: team didn't score, but he'll have a full week of
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: practice if he is the starter. I think from the
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Jag standpoint, it's been a long time since they played
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: really good football. They played well against the Carolina Panthers.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Some would say that's to be expected, it's the worst
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: team in football, but they needed to get back right.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: The reason to be optimistic will be from the defensive standpoint.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Trayvon Walker and Josh Allen Half combined for twenty five
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: and a half sacks. I think it's the most by
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: duo in the National Football League right now. Trayvon Walker
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: for all the things that people have pointed out that
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: he has not been able to do, look, he's up
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: to eight nine sacks this year. He's been able to
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: rush the pass and one of the clever things that
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: they've done they've moved him inside the three technique defensive
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: tackle on the outside shade of the guard on past
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: situations to take advantage of some matchups and he's really
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: flourished in that area. So maybe, just maybe their defense
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: can make enough plays control the game and whether Trevor
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Lawrence plays or not, the defense has to be the
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: one to kind of snuff out any threat from the Titans.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: If they do that, then the Jaguars should be able
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: to wrap the division up and go into the playoffs
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: with a little momentum.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, kind of all where and all where we thought
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: it would. With Jacksonville a chance to win this game.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: It's been a little bit of an up and down
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: journey here, but everything right in front of them as
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: they get a chance to clinch the division with one
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: more win. All right, we're going to take a break
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: when we come back. It's the rookie draft. It's the
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: last one. It's come down to the very end, and
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Rhett magically has a chance to win it. Let's not
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: make that happen. We'll get to that right after this.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: This is it.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: This is the final rookie draft of the year. This
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: is something new we did this year. It's been fun.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: We do it each and every week. We draft a quarterback,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: a running back, in a pass catcher. And it's coming
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: down to the very end with htt only two points
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: behind the lead here based off of producer Drew getting
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: him six points with Aidan O'Connell and a fly. It's
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: amazing when Rett isn't here to unbel he ends up
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: scoring a bunch.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Of with Drew.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Uh. I got one point for Buck, I got three
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: from eight Chan and I one apiece from Stroud and Nakua.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind running that squad back here.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: So this is it.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: This is going to decide it. I've got the first pick.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: It goes myself, Bucky and then Rhett. I'm going to
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: lead it off with no surprise, and they gotta have
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: it game for him and me. I'm gonna go c J.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Stroud with the first picks. Get my three points right there, Buck,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: you're up next.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Well, well, look man, I don't have anything to play for.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: I guess I'm just playing spoilers, so all I can
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: spoilers pick the guys I think. And then so I
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: think I'll take I just take him right up the
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: gate because I know Rid loves him leaving him, so
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: I'll take him.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: So this one's kind of This one's a little nuanced, right,
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: This one's nuanced because we gotta we gotta think about.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: You know, which teams that have already clinched are going
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: to be resting guys, Like, you know, is a flower
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: still a plausible play here if Lamar Jackson's not going,
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: I don't think so, you know? And is Puka?
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: I mean the Rams are in the in the playoffs, Like,
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: is Pooka even gonna be you know, he's been banged up?
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: Is he gonna get a full wark clad?
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: I think something something that might be interesting to follow
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: there too, So I'm okay with you. You going Pooka?
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: I think I since I've got back to back picks here,
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: I think I'm gonna go eight Chan. I'm gonna go
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: eight Chen knowing that they got a lot a lot
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: to play for there in Miami against the Bills, And
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: then I might I might go off the grid here
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: a little bit based off I know they're not playing
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: for a postseason birth, but they are playing spoiler. Give
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: me Michael Wilson, the wide out for the Cardinals who
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: against the Seahawks. Yeah, as my wine, whoa, oh wait.
• 15:08

• 15:13
  Speaker 2: is what are we doing? I want to put this

  Speaker 2: something sneaky.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: I feel like I.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Feel like there's something. Yeah, I feel like there's something
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: underhanded about this because we're gonna come next week and
• 15:28

• 15:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know, all right, just doesn't sit right now?
