0:36
[SPEAKER_06]: I am here today at well we're kind of in a split location We're at the actual show.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, a little fall start Creek side Chateau and Greg is at the the inside version of stage 22, but I might kind of give away, but on the really incredible guest Got an incredible guest this evening Guy needs no introduction the El Presidente of our organization

1:09
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, thank you.
1:10
[SPEAKER_06]: Take my bow.
1:11
[SPEAKER_06]: We have another beautiful afternoon to sit and talk about the happenings of an NFL Sunday week two in fact, and just so fortunate to get the opportunity to talk to you.
1:21
[SPEAKER_03]: And what a beautiful Sunday it was.
1:24
[SPEAKER_06]: It was, I mean, it was the witching hour was giving incredible, firstly, obviously us Colts fans, we got to sit and enjoy a one-to-clock game and still have the Colts given to look forward to it.
1:36
[SPEAKER_06]: I enjoy, actually.
1:37
[SPEAKER_06]: I kind of like the playing at 405s later.
1:41
[SPEAKER_06]: I enjoy it.
1:41
[SPEAKER_06]: But yeah, it's what, evening a football, it was kind of a stinker there last night, Sunday night.
1:48
[SPEAKER_06]: But that's to be expected.
1:49
[SPEAKER_06]: You can't always ban a thousand.
1:53
[SPEAKER_06]: correct.
1:54
[SPEAKER_06]: Greg, today I've got a lot to say, but first what do you want to know?
2:00
[SPEAKER_03]: I want to know well in the first two weeks of the NFL season, a team and a player and it can be the same team that you thought was no good and now after two weeks you're starting to think maybe they are good.
2:13
[SPEAKER_06]: Daniel Jones and the Colts, I mean, has there been an NFL player
2:22
[SPEAKER_06]: Strictly bias.
2:23
[SPEAKER_06]: What's wrong?
2:24
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
2:24
[SPEAKER_03]: I always think it's called course.
2:26
[SPEAKER_06]: I think that I don't know how you could say that's not by us.
2:29
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, everybody thought Daniel Jones was coming in and was not going to win the job over Anthony Richardson.
2:34
[SPEAKER_06]: He comes in and wins the job, gets a ton of flag from the fans, gets a ton of flag really league-wide and we're going to sell it.
2:43
[SPEAKER_06]: The Indianapolis Colts have been spot on and what they've done.
2:45
[SPEAKER_06]: They've completely transformed his career.
2:48
[SPEAKER_06]: I think that even the first two weeks, he's earned himself a contract to potentially start with another team regardless of what happens for the Colts this year.
2:57
[SPEAKER_03]: Yep.
2:57
[SPEAKER_03]: And I really don't want to be negative.
2:59
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, but this was my biggest fear.
3:01
[SPEAKER_03]: And I know I've decided I'm just going to go with it and hope they win every game the way they feel is that they make him their frame size quarterback.
3:10
[SPEAKER_03]: And as you said, he will be exposed.
3:13
[SPEAKER_03]: He does have a ceiling.
3:15
[SPEAKER_03]: I should not be going down this road.
3:17
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, I we could have this conversation that I do think that you're going to look at me and tell me who runs this offense better right now.
3:24
[SPEAKER_06]: in the first two weeks.
3:25
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, I know that we don't want him to be the franchise quarterback, but right now the way the way that he's played, I mean, how can you just to find not doing that?
3:36
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know.
3:36
[SPEAKER_06]: I think it's we're still too early in the conversation.
3:38
[SPEAKER_06]: It's still two weeks.
3:39
[SPEAKER_06]: There's plenty of time for him injury exposure, just defenses, finding a way to scheme against him that it could all come back to bite him.
3:47
[SPEAKER_03]: I just want to point out well that about three weeks ago, I said Daniel Jones ceiling.
3:53
[SPEAKER_03]: was right about a top 10 quarterback.
3:56
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's what we're seeing.
3:57
[SPEAKER_03]: He's right about a top 10 quarterback.
3:59
[SPEAKER_06]: He's been, that's just a quarterback thus far.
4:01
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but I got to say, I got to say, the scheming on offense has been so good.
4:07
[SPEAKER_03]: It has made the offensive line look good.
4:10
[SPEAKER_03]: It's made the, and it's certainly made Daniel Jones look good.
4:14
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm not surprised by the offensive line.
4:16
[SPEAKER_06]: I know that you were, you had questions.
4:18
[SPEAKER_06]: I had faith that the offensive line was going to be pretty good.
4:20
[SPEAKER_06]: And I was a little overly critical last evening when we talked on the cult's recap, where I was really just like an offensive line played really bad and Taylor kind of let him off the hook for a bad performance.
4:33
[SPEAKER_06]: I went back and watched a tape and I do think they played a lot better than I said last night.
4:38
[SPEAKER_03]: He did break a tackle in the backfield that he ran for 70 yards to be fair.
4:42
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that didn't.
4:43
[SPEAKER_03]: That didn't.
4:43
[SPEAKER_03]: That was Tyler Warren, by the way, who did not make that.
4:46
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
4:47
[SPEAKER_06]: So I'm not saying really an offensive one.
4:49
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
4:50
[SPEAKER_06]: Steiken.
4:50
[SPEAKER_06]: Steiken has skimmed up those wams.
4:52
[SPEAKER_06]: He's put Tyler Warren an awful lot on basically the block of the play.
4:57
[SPEAKER_06]: Like, hey, we have to make one block on this play.
5:00
[SPEAKER_06]: And Tyler Warren, I think up to this point, has answered the bell with that.
5:04
[SPEAKER_06]: He's been a good block.
5:05
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think he's been a great blocker.
5:07
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think coming into the year we really had any expectation of him being a blocker at all.
5:13
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, obviously with a tie-in, you and want your tie-in to this blocker.
5:18
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he's an enthusiastic blocker, which is all you can really ask of a rookie.
5:21
[SPEAKER_03]: He loves going down the other block and loves it.
5:24
[SPEAKER_03]: He's not very, he's physical.
5:25
[SPEAKER_06]: He's very aggressive with his hands.
5:27
[SPEAKER_06]: He's a great one-on-one blocker.
5:29
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know how great he is in zone scheme yet, but I think man's going to be an all-timeer will.
5:34
[SPEAKER_06]: I think he's got the chance to be really, really good.
5:38
[SPEAKER_03]: I think he has a chance to take Travis Kelsey and Rob Grunkowski to the next level.
5:42
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, and I mean, you know, while we're on the conversation of the Colts Office of Line, I thought Bernhard Ryanman played pretty bad, something's awful.
5:50
[SPEAKER_06]: And I'm not sure, not sure what it is.
5:53
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, they, they did income up to be this, you know, franchise title on that title.
5:59
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, he was on the list.
6:00
[SPEAKER_03]: He was on the injured list before game one.
6:03
[SPEAKER_03]: He was questionable.
6:04
[SPEAKER_03]: And I just don't think he's healthy.
6:06
[SPEAKER_06]: He has tough challenge.
6:07
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, two of them.
6:10
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, Benito is a guy and Bradley Chub is also a guy.
6:13
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, those are two top 15 edge rushers in the league without question.
6:18
[SPEAKER_06]: So I mean, he's had a handful, but there's a really good, a whole lot easier form.
6:24
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, this is a team and they're the way that they play in the schedule.
6:27
[SPEAKER_06]: They play.
6:27
[SPEAKER_06]: There's a lot of good defensive linemen in edge rushers that he's going to play and you hope that he can either work on it or he can get healthy and he
6:40
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
6:41
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, this is not the culture report.
6:42
[SPEAKER_03]: This is strictly biased.
6:44
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll rather forget.
6:45
[SPEAKER_03]: So let's do our week to recap and our news and notes what we think was important.
6:51
[SPEAKER_03]: And before we get to any particular game, I just want to say in general, it's going to a lot of chalk so far this year.
6:58
[SPEAKER_06]: There's been a lot of favorites, the favorites are winning.
7:00
[SPEAKER_06]: I will say that the week 1 and 2 matchups largely for the most part haven't been super good.
7:05
[SPEAKER_06]: It's been a lot of teams that you expected to be good against teams that you largely expected to be underperforming, even up to this level.
7:13
[SPEAKER_06]: I know it's early, but teams that you just saw, they're top 10 type teams.
7:20
[SPEAKER_06]: I think that you see the schedule makers kind of I think increase the competition level sporadically as the year goes on I mean you see big games there's big games every week but you know you see those marquee matchups the you know the bills ravens in week one you see the chargers chiefs those kind of calm down for a few weeks in this season I mean that was a dud too but
7:45
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, all that's true.
7:47
[SPEAKER_03]: And I know you and I are going to talk about your top five, most likely to win the Super Bowl after week two.
7:53
[SPEAKER_03]: And by the way, Monday night, football is coming on later tonight.
7:56
[SPEAKER_03]: So let's not have more questions.
7:58
[SPEAKER_03]: And again, this has got twice a week now.
8:00
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll talk more about Bucknears, Texans, and Chargers Raiders later this week.
8:06
[SPEAKER_03]: But here's what we know.
8:08
[SPEAKER_03]: We know who the Super Bowl contenders are.
8:15
[SPEAKER_06]: We're going to talk about it.
8:16
[SPEAKER_06]: We're going to talk about it later, but yes, there there are five really great elite teams and then there's a lot of good a lot of good teams, but there's a clear differentiation between those two tiers in my opinion.
8:31
[SPEAKER_06]: Here's what I think my honorable mention.
8:44
[SPEAKER_06]: So they pulled off a win in Jerry's world, but it was going to get really loud this week.
8:51
[SPEAKER_06]: If all the sudden they go and have a 40 spot put up against him at home, against the Giants, I know that, you know, analysis shows that Mike is still a huge loss, but
9:02
[SPEAKER_06]: the win loss record says that you know okay that the cab was kind of got away with one there but it's the way you weren't wearing the way you weren't that will you're right Jerry's a winner this week but we can't always got some long days ahead of them if you can't stop the game they do russ that russ's deep ball was spot on yesterday too i mean he played really well but he complies to me now
9:29
[SPEAKER_06]: Jerry want my second honorable mention I've got to actually this week is Jamar Chase that he is the best wide receiver in the game without any question he is so talented so good he is an alpha one of the alpha one
9:47
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, you saw Joe Burro go down with Joe.
9:51
[SPEAKER_06]: He's going to miss time.
9:52
[SPEAKER_06]: And then, Jim Archer still goes for 14, 169 and a touchdown reception like come on.
9:58
[SPEAKER_06]: He can play with that guy completely with anybody.
10:00
[SPEAKER_06]: I think he's better than Justin Jefferson.
10:02
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't really think it's close.
10:04
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think it's close either.
10:05
[SPEAKER_03]: I think there's a level between him.
10:07
[SPEAKER_06]: I agree.
10:09
[SPEAKER_06]: Number five, we're actually getting to the top five.
10:12
[SPEAKER_06]: I guess I should call it seven winners and seven losers since I've got ourable mentions.
10:15
[SPEAKER_04]: No, no, no.
10:17
[SPEAKER_04]: Five winners and five losers would will.
10:21
[SPEAKER_04]: Reveal the Fert.
10:24
[SPEAKER_06]: Number five, filled up for Eagles to fin their belt.
10:27
[SPEAKER_06]: they obviously won the championship.
10:29
[SPEAKER_06]: They beat the champ to be the champ and they got to take ultimate bragging rights again by beating the chiefs in Kansas City.
10:37
[SPEAKER_06]: It was kind of an ugly game.
10:39
[SPEAKER_06]: Jalen hurts through fried.
10:41
[SPEAKER_06]: Think 101 yards and he's still finding the way to get it done.
10:43
[SPEAKER_03]: So much 15.
10:45
[SPEAKER_06]: It wasn't enough.
10:47
[SPEAKER_06]: Let me tell you.
10:48
[SPEAKER_06]: That's that's not sustainable.
10:51
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't they're they're good.
10:52
[SPEAKER_06]: But I don't think they're going to be able to win the whole year.
10:55
[SPEAKER_06]: Throwing for 100 yards.
10:57
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll honestly think that's two teams we're not going to have to worry about.
11:01
[SPEAKER_05]: Really?
11:04
[SPEAKER_05]: We'll get there.
11:04
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
11:05
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
11:06
[SPEAKER_06]: Number four, Matthew Stafford just continues to be great.
11:10
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, you want to talk about a winner.
11:12
[SPEAKER_06]: He just performs.
11:14
[SPEAKER_06]: He's so quiet, you know, the LA Rams and you don't really talk about a whole lot, you know, in any conversation with quarterback Matthew Stafford's never where he should be.
11:22
[SPEAKER_06]: And yet, he just continues to go out those from those three hundred two studies and he's just so efficient.
11:27
[SPEAKER_06]: One of the prettiest throwers of a football ever.
11:30
[SPEAKER_06]: He
11:34
[SPEAKER_03]: Up that trade workout for the Rams and the Lions.
11:37
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, you have to say it's a win for the Rams, and if the Lions win a Super Bowl, then it's clearly a win for the Lions.
11:43
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a win either way.
11:44
[SPEAKER_03]: Jared Goff is a win.
11:45
[SPEAKER_06]: I think it's a win-win.
11:47
[SPEAKER_06]: I think it's a win-win.
11:49
[SPEAKER_03]: Jared Goff is definitely a franchise quarterback.
11:52
[SPEAKER_06]: He is, and speaking of the Detroit Lions, my third winner.
11:56
[SPEAKER_06]: is the Troy Lion's culture and largely Ben Johnson goes to Chicago.
12:01
[SPEAKER_06]: Everybody says after week one, the lions just don't have it anymore and they go and put 52 up on the bears and just beat the absolute dog water out of them.
12:10
[SPEAKER_06]: Belt to ask if I've seen it in the NFL, I think that Dan Campbell's got them right where he wants them to be.
12:19
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, Saint Brown is, if he might be better than Jefferson as well, I really, I think he is that old.
12:25
[SPEAKER_06]: I think he is.
12:26
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't remember.
12:28
[SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely.
12:29
[SPEAKER_03]: The more.
12:30
[SPEAKER_06]: But he's always available.
12:32
[SPEAKER_06]: He's always available, regardless, and he shows up in pretty much a new situation and a quiet week one against the packers.
12:37
[SPEAKER_06]: He showed why he is.
12:39
[SPEAKER_06]: Amen.
12:39
[SPEAKER_06]: We're all same brown.
12:40
[SPEAKER_06]: And we do.
12:40
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a lot of great dude.
12:43
[SPEAKER_06]: He is.
12:43
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, he is like the consummate professional.
12:45
[SPEAKER_06]: He's everything that you want.
12:48
[SPEAKER_06]: a one receiver he is i mean think of think of their receiving core they've got james and Williams they've got leport obviously is a tight and they have gibbs and they have David Montgomery they draft to slaw who looks great i mean in a common role in the cleave rame of a nice number four yeah and think i'm gonna all sit around a still getting more targets than the rest of them i mean he is still outshining them that should just go to show how good he is
13:17
[SPEAKER_06]: My number two winner is Mike McDaniel's golf game because there's no way in hell that he's going to be the coach of the Dolphin.
13:24
[SPEAKER_06]: He's going to be getting paid a lot of money to sit and play golf next year.
13:29
[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe pretty soon.
13:31
[SPEAKER_06]: I think it could be it's his interview go if you haven't go watch his post game press conference.
13:37
[SPEAKER_06]: He just sounds like a dipshit.
13:39
[SPEAKER_06]: I couldn't imagine him being the coach of my team the way that he sounds.
13:43
[SPEAKER_06]: And I have to listen to Shane Stike and talk.
13:44
[SPEAKER_06]: So.
13:45
[SPEAKER_03]: By the way, they play Buffalo Thursday.
13:48
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it's gonna, Buffalo has kind of had their issues in Miami, but I still don't think there's any chance.
13:54
[SPEAKER_03]: This Buffalo team's different will.
13:57
[SPEAKER_06]: I agree.
13:58
[SPEAKER_06]: I agree with that.
13:59
[SPEAKER_06]: And my number one winner is Daniel Jones.
14:02
[SPEAKER_06]: This guy is just kind of taken the leak by storm a little bit this year.
14:06
[SPEAKER_06]: Nobody saw this coming.
14:08
[SPEAKER_06]: Nobody.
14:08
[SPEAKER_06]: You can say, oh, I thought Daniel Jones is going to be good.
14:11
[SPEAKER_06]: He was the best option.
14:12
[SPEAKER_06]: This that and the other nobody expected a team that had a paid manning.
14:17
[SPEAKER_06]: Johnny and I just an Andrew look for Daniel Jones to be the first quarterback of an NFL team ever to not punt or have a turnover in the
14:27
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I saw it coming as soon as they made him the starting quarterback.
14:31
[SPEAKER_03]: I said, that guy's going to be the franchise quarterback.
14:33
[SPEAKER_03]: And the culture going to be mediocre for the next decade.
14:37
[SPEAKER_03]: Sorry, I don't want to keep bringing it up.
14:40
[SPEAKER_06]: But you can say that that can be true, but you can also say that you did not expect him to be this good and this official performance.
14:48
[SPEAKER_03]: He's been so good.
14:50
[SPEAKER_03]: But as you said, he will be exposed.
14:52
[SPEAKER_06]: Yep.
14:53
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
14:56
[SPEAKER_06]: that he's going to get exposed to some point.
14:58
[SPEAKER_06]: They are some really good defenses on that schedule.
15:02
[SPEAKER_06]: Starting with the Rams two weeks from now.
15:03
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, Tennessee's defense isn't bad.
15:05
[SPEAKER_06]: Tennessee's defense is pretty good.
15:06
[SPEAKER_06]: Although the Rams kind of played with them, but that's whatever.
15:10
[SPEAKER_06]: So we started positive.
15:11
[SPEAKER_06]: We got to go negative now.
15:13
[SPEAKER_06]: It's just the unfortunate reality of the NFL.
15:15
[SPEAKER_06]: But my honorable mention, loser.
15:17
[SPEAKER_06]: Number one is JJ McCarthy.
15:20
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't.
15:21
[SPEAKER_06]: He looks pretty bad.
15:22
[SPEAKER_06]: He played a great quarter there that first game on Monday and I football in Chicago.
15:26
[SPEAKER_06]: But boy, he looked bad and he's apparently going to miss some time with an ankle injury now too.
15:32
[SPEAKER_06]: So that's definitely something to watch.
15:35
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I got two words maybe three depending on how you look at it.
15:39
[SPEAKER_03]: Career backup.
15:42
[SPEAKER_06]: I agree with that that just he does not jump off the page at all he just looked completely overwhelmed.
15:49
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean the Falcons were fainting blitzes at him and he just he just took the bait every time.
15:54
[SPEAKER_06]: He was rushing the ball.
15:56
[SPEAKER_06]: He was not finding his playmakers in space.
15:59
[SPEAKER_06]: He missed a ton of deep routes, deep throes that often just looks super stagnant.
16:04
[SPEAKER_06]: They're going to struggle a lot this year.
16:06
[SPEAKER_06]: Brian Flores, I thought that as a defensive coordinator, he was, and he, they, their defense looked awfully good.
16:12
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, they only held the Falcons to 22 and in the Viking scaven prime field position multiple times.
16:17
[SPEAKER_06]: I, I just don't see JJ McCarthy working out.
16:20
[SPEAKER_06]: And I honestly, I think that the reaction that I saw from Kevin O'Connell's face on the sideline tells me the exact same thing.
16:29
[SPEAKER_03]: They can see it.
16:29
[SPEAKER_03]: He's not dumb.
16:31
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, my next honorable mention loser is Jackson Dart for now.
16:36
[SPEAKER_06]: I think Russ bought himself some time with his performance in Dallas.
16:41
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know how long I think he bought himself some time.
16:44
[SPEAKER_06]: It was going to get, it was loud after last week that Jackson dart needed to start week two and, and Russ came out and put just a classic Russell Wilson performance through for over 400 yards.
16:53
[SPEAKER_06]: He did throw a bad pick and over time, but still he looked, he looked really good in that offense.
16:59
[SPEAKER_04]: And now the losers with will, rather fern.
17:04
[SPEAKER_06]: Number five loser, Kellon Moore.
17:06
[SPEAKER_06]: God, he has coach two games.
17:08
[SPEAKER_06]: They've, he's coached hard.
17:10
[SPEAKER_06]: They look pretty good.
17:11
[SPEAKER_06]: They game plans good.
17:12
[SPEAKER_06]: And they have absolutely nothing to show for it because they have no talent in New Orleans.
17:16
[SPEAKER_06]: But I think that you see the makings of a good head coach from him.
17:20
[SPEAKER_06]: They have been competitive in games.
17:22
[SPEAKER_06]: They largely should not have been competitive in.
17:25
[SPEAKER_06]: their offense looks okay with Spencer Rattler as their quarterback, which is shocking to say, I think that if he's given the opportunity in the runaway, I think that he might be a coach that can really establish a good culture and a division that is pretty getable most of the time.
17:42
[SPEAKER_06]: My number four loser is Patrick Mahomes.
17:45
[SPEAKER_06]: I hate it not look good.
17:47
[SPEAKER_06]: Is it time for the chiefs to be really bad?
17:49
[SPEAKER_06]: I know you have been high on that horse.
17:52
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm really starting to join you.
17:55
[SPEAKER_03]: It had nothing to do with Patrick Mahomes, but it's become a pattern now, and it's been long enough of a pattern that you have to start to wonder if all the miles are affected him differently than most of the other great quarterbacks we've seen.
18:11
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I don't have an explanation for it.
18:14
[SPEAKER_06]: They're often just looks so like, that just lacks creativity is really what what it does.
18:20
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think that they have a big deal of dirt.
18:22
[SPEAKER_06]: They've not been able to establish any level of run game.
18:24
[SPEAKER_06]: Their defense is still awfully good, but my home's just, he just doesn't look good either.
18:28
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, this is exactly how we look at beginning of the year last year.
18:31
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know if it's just taking you on some time.
18:34
[SPEAKER_06]: to get back into it.
18:35
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know if I mean, obviously as deep as they're playing, maybe taking more time off.
18:39
[SPEAKER_06]: And the off season, it's just taking him longer to get up to speed.
18:42
[SPEAKER_06]: But I think you really have to start questioning whether this team is really even going to be even competing for a division title on the AFC West that while we thought was really good.
18:50
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, we, everybody had the chiefs competing in that division in some capacity.
18:57
[SPEAKER_03]: Here's what's coming up next for the chiefs, by the way.
19:01
[SPEAKER_03]: the giants, what they should win.
19:03
[SPEAKER_03]: And then Baltimore, Jacksonville, Detroit, Vegas, Washington, Buffalo, Denver, Indianapolis.
19:12
[SPEAKER_06]: They could lose all of those games, and I would not be surprised.
19:15
[SPEAKER_03]: They could be out of playoff contention.
19:17
[SPEAKER_03]: I wouldn't say they're going to lose all of them for sure.
19:19
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I don't think they're going to lose all of them.
19:21
[SPEAKER_03]: They could be out of contention by the middle of November.
19:27
[SPEAKER_03]: And again, the reason I gave is just so many miles.
19:30
[SPEAKER_03]: When you play three more football games and every team every year,
19:34
[SPEAKER_06]: it's going to catch up with the eventually they've been essentially play an extra season now at this point with how good they've been compared to the rest of the league so yeah I mean I I never thought that what you said was a fallacy in any capacity I just I just thought that my homes and read it would overcome it, but I I think that is this is this proved is that I mean nobody can overcome that it's just gonna happen I don't I just don't see this team making the playoffs now I don't think so either
20:03
[SPEAKER_06]: All right, my number three loser.
20:04
[SPEAKER_06]: I guy that I'm always going to be high on.
20:06
[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe one of my favorite quarterbacks to ever play.
20:08
[SPEAKER_06]: Trevor Lawrence, that guy cannot catch a break in Jacksonville.
20:12
[SPEAKER_06]: Just cannot catch a break.
20:14
[SPEAKER_06]: Ooh.
20:15
[SPEAKER_03]: He won the game for me yesterday, and his receivers is defense.
20:20
[SPEAKER_03]: They all let him down.
20:22
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, you know, I get, you can look at and say, well, Trevor Lawrence through two interceptions.
20:26
[SPEAKER_06]: That's awfully true.
20:27
[SPEAKER_06]: I would argue the second could be placed on the receivers,
20:32
[SPEAKER_06]: Trevor Lawrence, I've never seen a receiver just stop in the middle of a route and just throw a hand up and tip a ball to the other team I've never seen that my life where it's just looks like he's not even trying to Take any contact.
20:44
[SPEAKER_06]: It's looking like he's avoiding the hit.
20:46
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know.
20:47
[SPEAKER_06]: I at Definitely something to watch because I thought the Trevor Lawrence played an awfully good football game yesterday and had absolutely nothing to show for it for the most part Yeah, we talked about a while was happening
20:58
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, we did and I I still I still think that that Jacksonville team has a chance to be awfully good if think of how that's a game they just lose that they lose that game every time and no, I know it's applicable no matter how I agree there's so true you can see with that run game the way that they're able to control the ball especially manage the clock with both ET and now
21:23
[SPEAKER_06]: But I think that there is definitely an argument to be made that that team is still awfully good even though they drop a bad one on the road in Cincinnati.
21:34
[SPEAKER_06]: My number two loser is Brock Perti stock, boy did Max Jones, to look like old fashioned Max Jones yesterday.
21:41
[SPEAKER_06]: What a game.
21:43
[SPEAKER_03]: As soon as I heard Max Jones was turning it up, I was like, you know what?
21:48
[SPEAKER_03]: That makes sense.
21:49
[SPEAKER_03]: Because Brock Perti is not good.
21:51
[SPEAKER_03]: And Shanahan is a great coach who can make a average quarterback seem good, like he did with Brock Perti.
21:57
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think Max Jones might be better than Brock Perti.
22:02
[SPEAKER_03]: and that roster still pretty good and if something maybe changes my mind it might be the 49ers I told you before the year I thought they were the worst team in the NFL.
22:11
[SPEAKER_06]: They've played too pretty bad tapes too so let's you know let's we'll pump them.
22:15
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just saying I'm just saying.
22:18
[SPEAKER_06]: I'll be honest I think the way Max Jones played I mean party comes back boy if Max Jones has spent in it.
22:25
[SPEAKER_06]: Do you do you think that they they potentially keep pack Jones starting in the rock pretty gets goes to the bench goes.
22:33
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes I think it's from the room.
22:35
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm he went for 270 and three touchdowns yesterday.
22:38
[SPEAKER_06]: I think it was just super efficient.
22:40
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think there's any doubt will The four hundred quarter back going forward.
22:45
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think you can do that.
22:47
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, right now, but I think he is.
22:49
[SPEAKER_06]: I think they know that Which is funny because they just came pretty that huge extension, but
22:55
[SPEAKER_03]: And it turns out Jennings when he's healthy is really good and Ricky Pierce all is pretty darn good and they've got quite a few weapons that is disposal.
23:04
[SPEAKER_03]: And of course the running back is not what it used to be, but he's still a darn good weapon.
23:09
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
23:11
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, the defense isn't what it used to be, but it's still got Fred Warner and Nick Bosa.
23:15
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think I might be changing my mind about the four-fifth near-swill, if they stick with Mack Jones.
23:21
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, and also, I mean, you got to remember, a Mac Jones was Shanahan's guy coming out of that draft that they took trail ants.
23:26
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, Mac Jones was the target in Shanahan's eyes.
23:29
[SPEAKER_06]: That's been documented countless times.
23:31
[SPEAKER_06]: And finally, I guess, Kyle Shanahan gets his hands on him.
23:34
[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe.
23:34
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know.
23:35
[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe that he just becomes the 40-hundred-sharding quarterback for a long time.
23:39
[SPEAKER_06]: He's still only, I think, 27 years old.
23:41
[SPEAKER_06]: He's still young.
23:42
[SPEAKER_06]: He's still got a ton of career left it.
23:44
[SPEAKER_06]: It's very reminiscent of a...
23:47
[SPEAKER_06]: a Jared Goff situation where Goff wasn't definitely not in a backup role in the capacity Jones was but he gets to a place that really wants him and he is career takes off.
23:58
[SPEAKER_03]: Good coaching can change everything.
24:00
[SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely.
24:01
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think anyone can doubt the shenanigans are great coach.
24:04
[SPEAKER_06]: My number on loser of the week is the Cincinnati Bengals because Joe Burrow is going to miss three months after undergoing surgery for turf toe.
24:16
[SPEAKER_06]: I had him in the playoffs and while Jake Browning did look awfully good, he's not going to get a Travis Hunter bailout fourth and five defensive passenger clearance to keep that drive going every week.
24:29
[SPEAKER_06]: I think he's going to get exposed.
24:30
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think this bingo steam makes the playoffs now.
24:32
[SPEAKER_06]: I really don't.
24:32
[SPEAKER_06]: I think their division is tough enough.
24:34
[SPEAKER_06]: They just don't make the playoffs.
24:36
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, does it count that I pick him to make the playoffs?
24:39
[SPEAKER_03]: If I said that five teams would tie for the last wild cards by the eight and nine, because that's what I said.
24:45
[SPEAKER_06]: I think you could be spot on.
24:47
[SPEAKER_06]: I think you could be spot on it.
24:48
[SPEAKER_06]: Burro Frey burro is this generation's answer look.
24:51
[SPEAKER_06]: I just fear.
24:52
[SPEAKER_06]: I just don't think he's ever going to be able to stay healthy.
24:54
[SPEAKER_06]: He's just taking too much damage.
24:57
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think it's all because as we're about to get here with your five most likely to win the Super Bowl, there are just teams that are just way better
25:06
[SPEAKER_06]: Yep, I agree with that.
25:09
[SPEAKER_04]: Will rather first five most likely to win the Super Bowl.
25:14
[SPEAKER_04]: Man, I'm a good jingle writer.
25:15
[SPEAKER_06]: Go ahead.
25:16
[SPEAKER_06]: You are.
25:16
[SPEAKER_06]: Give me the apples cold at five.
25:18
[SPEAKER_06]: My god, they look awesome.
25:20
[SPEAKER_04]: Give it to me.
25:21
[SPEAKER_06]: Give him to me.
25:22
[SPEAKER_04]: He's just overreacting so much, my man.
25:26
[SPEAKER_06]: It's easy to remember the way the AFC may be the easiest division to win that's charged me up for the most most likely to win the Super Bowl.
25:35
[SPEAKER_06]: It's not the best team.
25:36
[SPEAKER_06]: It's those likely to win the Super Bowl.
25:37
[SPEAKER_06]: You've said that countless times and right now they now post quotes like a team that's going to win the AFC South and a team that is going to be hosting a playoff game.
25:47
[SPEAKER_06]: Wow.
25:49
[SPEAKER_06]: I did not see that win coming.
25:53
[SPEAKER_06]: from left field.
25:53
[SPEAKER_06]: What can I say?
25:54
[SPEAKER_06]: Give me four Tampa Bay Buck near us.
25:57
[SPEAKER_06]: We haven't even watched them play week two.
25:59
[SPEAKER_06]: And I still know they're going to beat this shit out of Houston.
26:01
[SPEAKER_06]: So just give them to me.
26:03
[SPEAKER_06]: I love everything about that team.
26:04
[SPEAKER_06]: They have talent everywhere.
26:06
[SPEAKER_06]: They're built to play posties and football.
26:08
[SPEAKER_06]: I think they're this year's Philadelphia Eagles.
26:10
[SPEAKER_06]: Don't disagree.
26:11
[SPEAKER_06]: Number three, give me the Baltimore Ravens.
26:14
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm still, I still think that Josh Allen and the bills are better, but I love the Ravens ability.
26:19
[SPEAKER_06]: I think especially with Joe Burrow getting injured, I think the Ravens absolutely run away with that division now.
26:25
[SPEAKER_06]: Neither of the three teams are even close to that standard of football.
26:29
[SPEAKER_06]: They host maybe the entire AFC at their home.
26:33
[SPEAKER_06]: It just feels like a year where we're going to see Lamar and Josh
26:40
[SPEAKER_03]: number two.
26:41
[SPEAKER_06]: So much better than everybody to me will.
26:43
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, we're going to talk about another team that looks awfully good.
26:45
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, they packers.
26:47
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I mean, they packers in the AFC sure.
26:50
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I love Jordan love Matt LaFluer and Mike Parsons now have going in Lambo field.
26:55
[SPEAKER_06]: I think that's a division that.
26:57
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, the lines are going to be competing.
26:59
[SPEAKER_06]: The bears are not good.
27:01
[SPEAKER_06]: And the Vikings with McCarthy at quarterback.
27:03
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't trust to me either.
27:04
[SPEAKER_06]: So give me the the packers.
27:06
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think they run away with the division, but they already have a game in hand against Detroit.
27:10
[SPEAKER_06]: They might get another one in hand.
27:12
[SPEAKER_06]: I think it's in the cards for the packers to potentially be hosting a playoff game.
27:16
[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe two or three playoff games.
27:19
[SPEAKER_06]: That'll be a real game.
27:20
[SPEAKER_03]: When you're number two and number four play together in the playoffs, who's at home is going to be a big deal.
27:27
[SPEAKER_06]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
27:52
[SPEAKER_03]: bills and at number five, I probably would have the chargers because of Jim Harbob, but there are five or six teams that I would put there, but really to me, it's whoever wins between Baltimore and Buffalo, and I just think Green Bay is the class of the NSC.
28:10
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I do too.
28:10
[SPEAKER_06]: I think there it's been a quick fall from grace from the Eagles.
28:13
[SPEAKER_06]: They just they looked horrible Sunday.
28:15
[SPEAKER_03]: And they're going to be there.
28:18
[SPEAKER_03]: They're just not going to be the same.
28:21
[SPEAKER_03]: I agree I agree with the players who react well to success the types of of personalities that react well to success.
28:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we've seen it with a lot of great teams like the 85 bears for example never got back because they didn't and a bunch of personalities who didn't deal well with success.
28:38
[SPEAKER_06]: I think that another thing to look at too is just the fact that.
28:43
[SPEAKER_06]: AJ Brown's probably going to get traded if they're going to continue running this offense the way they are, which I mean, that honestly be to their benefit because he's only going to be happy for so long not getting the football and unless they start really air into the football out, he's just not going to get it.
28:56
[SPEAKER_06]: So they're just a crash course and
29:02
[SPEAKER_06]: roster construction, being the reason that they can't win another one.
29:07
[SPEAKER_06]: Because they have all the pieces to do it.
29:09
[SPEAKER_06]: But I think like you said, you just got a lot of personality and you've got some divas on that team that are going to prohibit that from happening.
29:16
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
29:16
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, that is the all of our segments except for you have three most likely to have the number one pick and I'm going to be very interested in this one.
29:26
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I think it's pretty standard.
29:27
[SPEAKER_06]: They're all in the AFC.
29:29
[SPEAKER_06]: The number three team is the dolphins to me.
29:31
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think that they're that bad, like they're very kills amazing and he might be the other one that you put up there.
29:39
[SPEAKER_06]: Their roster is good enough to like be, I think, an average NFL team to look a lot better.
29:46
[SPEAKER_06]: They lost a close one that New England.
29:49
[SPEAKER_06]: But they're too many holes and I just think that they've, they're in a division.
29:55
[SPEAKER_06]: I think the jets, even though they played poorly against Buffalo, they look pretty good against the Steelers.
30:00
[SPEAKER_06]: I think they're going to be one of those seven wind teams that you just don't want to play.
30:04
[SPEAKER_06]: They're probably going to play really hard.
30:06
[SPEAKER_06]: Aaron Glenn is the type of coach.
30:07
[SPEAKER_06]: He's going to have a great defensive system.
30:11
[SPEAKER_06]: And I think that they have enough athletes off into the air.
30:13
[SPEAKER_06]: They're going to be tough to be.
30:14
[SPEAKER_06]: I just don't see him making the playoffs this year.
30:18
[SPEAKER_06]: I also think that the Patriots are going to be better than people think they obviously just got a head to head win against the Dolphins.
30:27
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm not going to backtrack them on the playoffs.
30:29
[SPEAKER_06]: They still play it pretty easy schedule.
30:32
[SPEAKER_06]: They play a really easy schedule and Drake may look awesome by the way.
30:36
[SPEAKER_06]: I've got the Browns at number two.
30:38
[SPEAKER_06]: I know you say two bit of a roster, but they just, they look bad.
30:44
[SPEAKER_06]: They look bad.
30:47
[SPEAKER_03]: It's when you just don't have a good quarterback and you don't have good weapons, it just doesn't matter really how good the team around you is.
30:55
[SPEAKER_03]: And they got exposed by Lamar Jackson, but I think that defense is pretty good.
31:00
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, but when you're too best players, arguably offensively are your tight ends, you're gonna struggle.
31:06
[SPEAKER_03]: They're offensive linemen of the best players on their team.
31:09
[SPEAKER_03]: So it's Miles Garrett.
31:12
[SPEAKER_06]: Joe Flacco is he's just not going to be able to get it done.
31:15
[SPEAKER_06]: I see them if they won five games I think that would probably be more than they should.
31:19
[SPEAKER_06]: My number once the Titans I think came Ward is another dead.
31:24
[SPEAKER_06]: He doesn't let everybody.
31:26
[SPEAKER_06]: I just I don't know.
31:28
[SPEAKER_03]: I just don't think the three nice plays yesterday.
31:30
[SPEAKER_03]: That's just not a very good offense.
31:32
[SPEAKER_06]: He gets away with things that he's just not going to get away with for forever.
31:36
[SPEAKER_06]: If the universe Calvin Ridley, man, Calvin Ridley is still pretty talented why to receive her in this league who drops every other pass that comes as way.
31:44
[SPEAKER_03]: That's, that's also fair.
31:46
[SPEAKER_03]: But here's the rest of his receiving core.
31:49
[SPEAKER_03]: Ellic Ayomont Monner,
31:57
[SPEAKER_03]: and Gunner Helm.
31:58
[SPEAKER_03]: Those are, that's his receiving core.
32:00
[SPEAKER_03]: It's bad.
32:01
[SPEAKER_06]: I'll give you that.
32:02
[SPEAKER_06]: It's bad.
32:02
[SPEAKER_06]: But I think that's why they're going to have the number one pick.
32:05
[SPEAKER_06]: So I don't think it's going to be his fault.
32:07
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm not convinced that he is.
32:09
[SPEAKER_06]: I just don't think he's going to be a good one.
32:12
[SPEAKER_06]: I'll give you that the jury still out on him.
32:14
[SPEAKER_06]: I just I think that the the off script plays and stuff It's it's hard in this NFL.
32:20
[SPEAKER_06]: I think it's the time to get away with those especially when you make that your personality I think that he lacks a little bit with his ability to stay calm in the pocket.
32:28
[SPEAKER_06]: He rushes and tries to play hero ball.
32:31
[SPEAKER_06]: I think it's gonna get him in trouble
32:34
[SPEAKER_06]: As for the Panthers and the Saints, one of those teams deserves to be on the list, but they do have to play each other twice.
32:39
[SPEAKER_06]: So there's a chance that they pick up at least two wins against the other.
32:43
[SPEAKER_06]: We'll see.
32:44
[SPEAKER_06]: Also, Marys Young looked much better yesterday.
32:46
[SPEAKER_06]: I know that they dug themselves in awfully depol, but he looked kind of like old Bryce Young's was supposed to look.
32:55
[SPEAKER_03]: Can I throw another team out there?
32:56
[SPEAKER_03]: Sure.
32:57
[SPEAKER_03]: The Vikings.
33:00
[SPEAKER_03]: They're so close to being oh and two and they just look awful.
33:05
[SPEAKER_06]: They're back up quarterback might actually just be better than their starter though.
33:09
[SPEAKER_06]: So I would just be patient on that.
33:11
[SPEAKER_03]: And they got lucky.
33:12
[SPEAKER_03]: They got a burrowless Cincinnati this week, but then Pittsburgh Philadelphia, the chargers, lions, Baltimore, the bears, Packers, Seattle, Washington.
33:22
[SPEAKER_03]: That's their upcoming schedule.
33:28
[SPEAKER_03]: I think they're winning four games, man.
33:30
[SPEAKER_06]: KFC's are awfully good though.
33:33
[SPEAKER_06]: KFC is done more with less.
33:35
[SPEAKER_06]: I know.
33:37
[SPEAKER_03]: But that's schedule, and that quarterback does not make for a good situation.
33:44
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, well, you've already made your picks for the week, but Buck and Ears at Texans, your expectation.
33:50
[SPEAKER_06]: Buck and Ears win big.
33:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I got a feeling about this team.
33:56
[SPEAKER_06]: I do that, there my pick in the NFCD to the Super Bowl.
34:00
[SPEAKER_03]: And then Chargers at Raiders, man, that's an intriguing wouldn't it?
34:03
