1:50
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean just some bad luck.
1:51
[SPEAKER_02]: There was Sam Darnold having that What was it a hip injury now?
1:55
[SPEAKER_02]: They're saying it looked like it was a knee one where he just got planted into the ground But pretty unfortunate there for for the seahawks and they all though You know the raining champions end up winning that game and then just
2:07
[SPEAKER_02]: then you look over an AJ Brown gets injured and has an ankle sprains.
2:11
[SPEAKER_02]: So already a weird and wacky way to begin than FLCs.
2:15

2:44
[SPEAKER_02]: It's been awesome to be able to engage with you.
2:47
[SPEAKER_02]: And we finally made it.
2:48
[SPEAKER_02]: What a ride it was, but you guys have been showing us a lot of love.
2:52
[SPEAKER_02]: And trust me, we appreciate every single bit of it and it helps motivate us to do more of this on our hands.
2:58
[SPEAKER_02]: So thank you guys.
2:59
[SPEAKER_02]: So let's go ahead.
3:00
[SPEAKER_02]: And it gets started before we go into this game itself, Caleb, I wanted to give you a chance because we haven't had your thoughts on this contract extension, 165 million dollars for Baker Mayfield.
3:13
[SPEAKER_02]: And he also got to speak yesterday, but I wanted to get you overall thoughts before we move forward.
3:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, interesting timing.
3:20
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, Baker came out and said, hard stop when training camp rolls around.
3:24
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not going to be talking about this with the season.
3:30
[SPEAKER_00]: coming out.
3:31
[SPEAKER_00]: And if they approach him with, you know, the right things, then things can move forward in that appears to what happened to be what happened.
3:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Came yesterday, midday.
3:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody's really expecting it.
3:41
[SPEAKER_00]: And ultimately, I think it's a great deal for both sides.
3:44
[SPEAKER_00]: The salary cap continuing to go up year by year.
3:47
[SPEAKER_00]: That means that these contracts start to inflate year by year.
3:50
[SPEAKER_00]: So quarterback contracts are going to continue to get higher and higher.
3:53
[SPEAKER_00]: That 55 million per year is putting them in the range of,
3:56
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, the burrows of the world, Trevor Lawrence is, Jerk Gauffs.
4:00
[SPEAKER_00]: So right around what we were thinking, maybe a little bit more than what we initially had thought, but it looks like the buck and Missouri would have moved off just the two-year deal go up another year instead of the four to five that Baker was probably wanting.
4:13
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think it's good for both sides.
4:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Baker gets a hundred and 50 million guarantee between this upcoming season here in 26.
4:19
[SPEAKER_00]: And the next three would the 110 added on to the 50 from this year.
4:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Great deal for him.
4:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I it's a good deal for the box because at this point next year who's not saying that you're going to end up wanting having to pay a guy 65 million dollars a year for a guy like they can make field so overall really happy that it got done kind of wish that.
4:39
[SPEAKER_00]: It would have waited until that off season after this year so bigger to play this season on with that chip on a shorter But I think it was still carried away in Anyways, and you know, still be that mad man that we love the C do all the crazy shit on a field on Sunday Yeah, I think that's what everybody was wanting
4:56
[SPEAKER_02]: to see out there that angry pissed off ticked off Baker like you heard him say in that press conference during training camp you know he felt like he was disrespected from the box and felt like he needed more years and more money whatever that might be they just couldn't find an agreement but it was pretty funny just to hear from Jason Lightside yesterday when we were there and just
5:18
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, both sides trying to get under each other's skin a little bit.
5:22
[SPEAKER_02]: We all know they have a great relationship with one another.
5:24
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why you saw Baker out there being his usual self throughout camp.
5:29
[SPEAKER_02]: There was not much of a change there.
5:30
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, River, you and I talked with shower sharp.
5:33
[SPEAKER_02]: You're rookie.
5:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Tide in from LSU who was going to play this year and we asked him specifically.
5:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you see any kind of change from Baker and yesterday's practice whenever he signed that big deal And any difference from you know, a camp to that and he said absolutely not one bed He's been such a great leader to me.
5:50
[SPEAKER_02]: He's been very hands on and it's been great to be able to grow under a veteran quarterback and leader
5:57
[SPEAKER_02]: locker room leader like Baker may feel so nothing has changed whatsoever and nothing will and you get both those big contracts done that the national media was freaking out about trying to find some storylines and such if you listen to this show and any of the local people that are great that what they do on the beat
6:13
[SPEAKER_02]: They weren't too worried, we weren't too worried.
6:15
[SPEAKER_02]: And I never thought that I never thought it was a great idea that Bigger may feel would try to go through this because if you get injured, you're screwed big time in what you ever contract you want to get moving forward.
6:25
[SPEAKER_02]: So that was a big, massive risk he was going to take, but of course you kind of want to see him a little extra pissed off.
6:31
[SPEAKER_02]: But that also could have led to him kind of doing some crazy shit that you don't want him to do.
6:35
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know, you get injured, you're putting in a rookie undrafted free agent quarterback.
6:40
[SPEAKER_02]: wouldn't be ideal.
6:42
[SPEAKER_02]: So yes, Baker may feel it gets that contract extension.
6:45
[SPEAKER_02]: So let's jump over to this game guys.
6:47
[SPEAKER_02]: So right now, the current line is three and a half for the bangles, the total expected at 50 and a half.
6:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Anything stand out to you guys?
6:57
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it seems like this is going to be a potential shootout.
7:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Some a lot of points scored.
7:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Anything here from from the Vegas odds?
7:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the bangles don't play in games that aren't
7:09
[SPEAKER_02]: That's true.
7:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
7:10
[SPEAKER_02]: The defense doesn't want to play.
7:12
[SPEAKER_01]: No, and they have one of the most electrifying offences in football with Joe Burrow, of course, playing quarterback there in a lead quarterback, and then you've got Jamar Chase and T. Higgins on top of that, and not a very good offensive line.
7:27
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's usually a little bit harder to run sometimes in Cincinnati, as a result, they do tend to air it out quite a bit.
7:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Joe Burrow will be doing that, um, trying to make those hero players through Marceyes and D. Higgins will want to get their fair share of targets.
7:41
[SPEAKER_01]: I think if you go into Cincinnati, you better expect to play a shootout because, you know, they have the firepower and Tim Bayer's going to have to hope they also have the firepower to go up against the Bengals.
7:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Bengals defense not great, so like you just mentioned, so in theory, should be able to really rack up some points for backups from the yards, but it's weak one, you never know what's going to happen.
8:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think they didn't really do much along the offensive line this off season.
8:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they drafted a center in the fourth round, a guy out of Auburn and Connor Liu.
8:10
[SPEAKER_00]: So, not a bunch of change up front there on offense, what comes into it with their weapons and then you've got Chase Brown who's kind of an underrated back in my opinion in this league for what he's able to do and provide a little bit of a balance attack there.
8:24
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, their defense has been suspect over the past years, right?
8:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Make sure work there.
8:33
[SPEAKER_00]: This obviously is in trading for Dexter Lawrence trading way.
8:35
[SPEAKER_00]: They're number 10 pick for that They signed Jonathan Allen if we didn't see to a two-year deal Added boy a moth a as well and Brian Cook at safety.
8:45
[SPEAKER_00]: So yes, they're still very young very Raw outside at the quarterback position, but they are getting a little bit more experience along the defensive line as well as over the top in the back in that that's like a dairy So
8:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it might be a little bit more of a challenge for the Buccaneers offense than anticipated, but again, it's week one.
9:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Bengals don't usually get off to hot starts then, and with that being said, you're going to have chances.
9:12
[SPEAKER_00]: It's about taking advantage of those when they're given to you because as the game goes on, these guys are going to start getting more comfortable within the playing and everything of that nature.
9:22
[SPEAKER_00]: So with that, you got to find those chances early and jump on them.
9:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you are.
9:28
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think there's a couple of storylines that I'm keeping a close eye on and you guys tell me what else it is for you.
9:34
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's got to go straight to some of these rookies that are going to be playing on the defensive side for the box.
9:40
[SPEAKER_02]: We've seen it.
9:41
[SPEAKER_02]: We've seen it happen in some preseason games.
9:45
[SPEAKER_02]: But there's a lot to keep an eye on certainly when you're facing a guy like Joe Burrow.
9:48
[SPEAKER_02]: We talked with Josiah Trotter one on one yesterday and he told us, you know, one of the things that he wants to do.
9:54
[SPEAKER_02]: is rattle him early not just him but the entire defense they want to get back there and they feel like they can just because of the additions They made this off season in the trenches and we'll talk further on that later, but there's a lot of rookies Going to be at competing on this side of the ball.
10:08
[SPEAKER_02]: You got a ribbon-bained junior who you know people are just kind of Salivating to see what this kid is actually like.
10:13
[SPEAKER_02]: You only got two series of it.
10:15
[SPEAKER_02]: What six snaps and that chiefs preseason game
10:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Amped Ollie as they should be also about yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad yoyad y
10:45
[SPEAKER_02]: we talked about once they drafted him in the second round.
10:47
[SPEAKER_02]: How good can he be and coverage?
10:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, guess what?
10:50
[SPEAKER_02]: Like you guys were just talking about.
10:51
[SPEAKER_02]: You're going against one of the best quarterbacks in the league.
10:54
[SPEAKER_02]: And it knows how to dice you up in an electric offense.
10:58
[SPEAKER_02]: So what a good first chance for him to learn quickly.
11:00
[SPEAKER_02]: It won't be so pretty.
11:01
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think at times, but a good learning lesson and you got to add in Kianta Scott who was going to be utilized in this quite event.
11:08
[SPEAKER_02]: I would imagine for some blitz packages like he did with the Miami hurricanes.
11:13
[SPEAKER_02]: What about you guys?
11:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that about sums it up.
11:17
[SPEAKER_01]: I think we hit on it there.
11:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there's a lot to look at.
11:20
[SPEAKER_01]: So shoot the rookies going forward.
11:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Whether they can play against a offensive line and since now it's not very good.
11:26
[SPEAKER_01]: So if the addresses are going to produce, this is going to maybe the best opportunity all year.
11:32
[SPEAKER_01]: that the ad structures will have to be able to go out there and play some footballs.
11:35
[SPEAKER_01]: It will be a bottom five offensive line you're playing against Cincinnati.
11:39
[SPEAKER_01]: So I've been banished to get those, so yeah, the ambulance will get those sacks.
11:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, this is going to have to get it, make it happen.
11:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, we mentioned Josiah Trotter wants to rattle Joe Burrow.
11:47
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a great opportunity.
11:49
[SPEAKER_01]: So it'll be interesting to see it's a week one.
11:51
[SPEAKER_01]: So there will be some ups and downs as any week one game goes.
11:54
[SPEAKER_01]: But in theory, if you want to go out there and produce, this is a good,
11:59
[SPEAKER_01]: offense to do it against a because the lines week would be because the rest is a foreign cast is not weak and if you're able to be able to shut that down you'll be thinking well we're looking pretty good for the rest of the season.
12:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, a lot of a lot of guys are going to get action early on in their pro careers.
12:16
[SPEAKER_00]: We've talked about it a lot of times to try to be named as the starter over so obviously a dentist who is going to have ample time on the field too,
12:27
[SPEAKER_00]: you're really going to get the arm length discussion.
12:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure I want to stay with Ruben Bay and Jr coming off the edge because he's going to be going up against a marius men who, if you guys remember, is a gigantic freak.
12:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe not the best right to echo, but he is pretty big.
12:45
[SPEAKER_00]: He takes up a lot of space.
12:47
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a reason why he was in the NFL right
12:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Goliath and rookie battle right there and I'm sure we're going to have to see what we've been can do with these short arms is going to be able to get hands on.
13:06
[SPEAKER_00]: serious memes and be able to create havoc in the back of you.
13:09
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's probably one of the bigger matchups that you're going to be paying attention to on something.
13:13
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, the rookies are going to have their ups and downs.
13:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I even the veterans have their ups and downs.
13:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you saw in the game last night.
13:19
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't pretty for either team or really their defense played extremely well, but that's just part of the game.
13:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
13:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you have to swim these guys.
13:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Some of these guys didn't practice at all during training camp or didn't participate in any preseason games, any live action, really to
13:35
[SPEAKER_00]: get ready for this.
13:36
[SPEAKER_00]: The buck and you probably saw a majority of their guys have that action.
13:39
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's good.
13:40
[SPEAKER_00]: But everything changes when it comes to a live regular season game.
13:44
[SPEAKER_00]: That means something, right?
13:45
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's going to be down as River said, but just overall excited to see what the potential is moving forward from week one and to the rest of the season.
13:56
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll lead this over to you, River, as another storyline, because this is probably one of your concerns, yes.
14:02
[SPEAKER_02]: One of your concerns, one of your concerns going into the season.
14:05
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's Zach Robinson and the offensive play.
14:09
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you need to see on Sunday that would make you feel more confident, moving forward under Robinson?
14:17
[SPEAKER_01]: It's week one, so like we've mentioned about 40 times in the last three minutes.
14:22
[SPEAKER_01]: There will be some up and down going from here to there, the EBS and flows at the game, but limiting the mental errors and just being able to execute at a base level is pretty important for a football team and there's a little bit of room there, given that it's week one, you're still getting used to some install, but being able to do that,
14:41
[SPEAKER_01]: and being able to run the offensive efficiently without too many penalties without too many miscues and miscues and penalties, you know, I should be things that you can outwardly see during the game.
14:52
[SPEAKER_01]: That would be the biggest step toward being like, okay, this is an offense that knows what's doing, knows what it wants to do, has an identity, and is trying to go forward that, and it's not struggling to figure out, you know, pre-snap stuff, struggling to fear a penalty isn't and being disciplined.
15:08
[SPEAKER_01]: The core things, this is kind of an athlete cliche, but the little things, they say, the little things are important to start off the year.
15:16
[SPEAKER_01]: And then once we get forward, talks exactly what happens in today, and he's like, you know, NFL trends change midseason even.
15:22
[SPEAKER_01]: He's like the Rams didn't start doing that 13 personnel stuff since weeks six.
15:27
[SPEAKER_01]: And from there on, a lot of other teams had to be a copycat, well, you can copy that.
15:31
[SPEAKER_01]: So they're going to have some flexibility with the type of offense they want to run, being able to run it efficiently and with discipline, not getting penalties, not shooting yourself in the foot.
15:40
[SPEAKER_01]: That's going to be the number one thing we'll look for.
15:43
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm speaking on the offense, I think I want this offensive line to prove that they can go back to 2024 and be one of those top three even, you know, hyped up a whole ton this whole offseason.
15:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
15:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Top three offensive line.
15:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Can they move people, but it's not going to be easy.
16:01
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, this battle with all the moves that the Bengals made this offseason with Lawrence Moffey, Jonathan Allen that you brought in, like,
16:08
[SPEAKER_02]: That is going to be a great first true test to see.
16:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you a top three offensive line in the league?
16:15
[SPEAKER_02]: And Tristan Worf's getting back out there.
16:17
[SPEAKER_02]: He hasn't hated to not participate in much of training camp until the very end with some limited practice against the jacks for like maybe one or two snaps.
16:25
[SPEAKER_02]: And then after that, nothing else.
16:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Like how does Tristan Worf's look?
16:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Is it a little rusty to start off with?
16:33
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, just seeing how healthy he looks and then also to Cody Malk coming back from Andjrid as Graham Barton take a step forward that he certainly did not take last year And been read us and coming back from Andjrid to Lou Getticki, who I thought had an up and down camp.
16:47
[SPEAKER_02]: So
16:48
[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be a great, great test.
16:50
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm sure they're looking forward to.
16:52
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, that's what Ben Brettison told me.
16:54
[SPEAKER_02]: Like this is a great first kind of opportunity for us to get out there and understand what our communication is on the road when it's going to be loud as hell and a week one environment.
17:06
[SPEAKER_02]: This is all you can ask for and it will be great to see and kind of great out which will do after the game as great out some of these positions and offensive liners can be one of those top threes that I am going to be watching in this game specifically.
17:20
[SPEAKER_02]: Anything else storylines to you Caleb that you know stand out going into this game?
17:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean you're talking about the offensive line with the new acquisitions from the Bengals this offseason in in Dexter Lawrence and Jonathan Allen
17:35
[SPEAKER_00]: grandparents going to have to be on as a game, right?
17:37
[SPEAKER_00]: And they've been in and been, right?
17:39
[SPEAKER_00]: So they're going to take on these massive, nose tackles, defensive tackles up the middle.
17:45
[SPEAKER_00]: If they aren't able to anchor that aspect of the off-men protecting Baker Mayfield, Baker's not going to have room to step up into the parking through a ball, as it can totally disrupt the run game.
17:56
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's going to be a massive test early on for those to specifically worse in Gideki should be able to handle Shamar Stewart
18:05
[SPEAKER_00]: forget you with their other outside guy is, but they should be able to handle them pretty much no problem, but if this game is going to be lost on the offensive side of the ball, it's going to be from up the middle of the Bangle's defense, not from anything crazy or like that.
18:19
[SPEAKER_00]: So obviously a big one, I think another big one is going to be the success rate of Joe Burrow against the blitz, and we know Todd Bull was loves to bring the blitz.
18:28
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure if that's going to be the case this year considering they have so much confidence in their four
18:33
[SPEAKER_00]: guys down there on the line, but when you look at it, top bulls, you know, lives and dies by blitzing or has in the past 35.1% blitz rate last year.
18:43
[SPEAKER_00]: So he was blitzing a ton.
18:46
[SPEAKER_00]: But Joe Burrow is consistently one of the top guys against the blitz.
18:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, when you look at it, he has an 81.9 PFF passing grade against the blitz.
18:54
[SPEAKER_00]: And he eats it a lot.
18:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Really, he really knows where to go with the ball.
18:58
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think probably,
19:00
[SPEAKER_00]: kind of a move that he's kind of just kind of labeled his is being able to get the ball out and back shoulder.
19:06
[SPEAKER_00]: And when you've got right receivers like T-higgins and you're more chase who you've got such a great relationship with on the field and knowing where they're going to be and knowing that hey, these are going to be back there quickly.
19:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me just cut off my rowing and get this back shoulder.
19:20
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's going to be something you're really going to have to pay attention to.
19:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I think with that, the wide zone running by his acting, there's offensive
19:28
[SPEAKER_00]: The defense will have to be ready there, which should work in their favor considering they've worked a lot on that themselves or practice getting back to that wide zone scheme instead of the gap.
19:37
[SPEAKER_00]: So those are kind of the big areas that I want to focus on storylines that I'm watching as we head into the game.
19:44
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm shocked that we have not talked about yet, but it is hitting my brain big time.
19:48
[SPEAKER_02]: Is the corner backs for the bucks against these wider sewers, man.
19:53
[SPEAKER_02]: This is talking about tests there for the offensive line, we'll guess what, it might be even a bigger one for Zion McCullum and Jacob Parish as he gets that start on the other side of Benjamin Morrison, couldn't stay healthy, all throughout training camp and Parish easily takes that on, which we thought it would be a huge competition.
20:09
[SPEAKER_02]: Nah.
20:10
[SPEAKER_02]: not one bit whatsoever.
20:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Aiding Garn's a rookie, the undrafted rookie from Arizona actually came and played more than Morrison and showed more life.
20:18
[SPEAKER_02]: But here is Paris, here's Zion, Zion said yesterday that he is really excited about going against these wider sewers.
20:25
[SPEAKER_02]: He feels like the...
20:26
[SPEAKER_02]: The group in Tampa has helped him a ton of iron sharpened iron type of deal.
20:31
[SPEAKER_02]: He also, when I asked him, you know, you feel like this defensive line is going to make life easier.
20:34
[SPEAKER_02]: And he said, absolutely, for sure, he also mentioned that he really has loved the attitude that Ruben Bane has brought to the defense.
20:47
[SPEAKER_02]: And he feels like it has been infectious.
20:49
[SPEAKER_02]: It's exactly what he said.
20:50
[SPEAKER_02]: It's been infectious across the whole board of the
20:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully it's infection infectious enough man when you're going against your march ace anti-higgins with a quarterback that will dice you up real quick Big-time and it's gonna be a big test for Jacob Parrish like you mentioned playing outside did it a little bit last year and then struggled a little bit but then also showed some good tape later on when he needed to fill in for guys like Benjamin Morrison He's on an outside in college.
21:20
[SPEAKER_01]: He's on a freight of playing outside
21:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't think Gigaparic is afraid of anything to be honest with you, especially not melting outside.
21:27
[SPEAKER_01]: So, um, big one, and he told us, you know, during the, obviously, I think I'm on Monday when he came out and talked to us, he said, you know, what better wide receiver core to start a game against than, than Jamar Chase and T. Higgins, ultimate iron turbines iron, the biggest test you could have.
21:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe the biggest, you know, one-two punch in the NFL outside
21:49
[SPEAKER_01]: and being able to go up against them to start your season and know where you're at immediately is pretty helpful for these books players.
21:55
[SPEAKER_01]: So it'll be a trial by fire.
21:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's going to be interesting.
22:00
[SPEAKER_00]: So say the least, right?
22:01
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not a deep room.
22:03
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a very unproven room.
22:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I know people who have come reply on this and I on and his experience, but I mean, Zion's had an up and down career struggle struggles with catching intersections that are thrown right to them.
22:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes having lapses in coverage, obviously
22:19
[SPEAKER_00]: So you got to stay healthy stay on the field.
22:22
[SPEAKER_00]: These seems to have taken another step.
22:24
[SPEAKER_00]: There's all season from what we've been told.
22:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so that votes a little bit, you know, bring some confidence into you a little bit more.
22:31
[SPEAKER_00]: But after that, I mean, we saw a pair last year with really good in the swap position, but now we're going to see him on the outside.
22:37
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see all that goes.
22:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Overall, it's going to be, yeah, a test to say the least, right?
22:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, you've got some dudes.
22:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I think who is their wide receiver three eyes soba's, you know, shout out, gee, a dirty in him.
22:56
[SPEAKER_00]: But, yeah, it's going to be a challenge.
23:00
[SPEAKER_00]: First, sure, I would expect a lot of over the top help, whether it be Tyki Smith or AWJ or Twiz, they're going to need to, right?
23:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, these guys are too good for you not to have two eyes on them at all times.
23:12
[SPEAKER_00]: So,
23:13
[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be interesting to see how they fare if they come out and you know we're just battling all game That's going to be a terrific sign for things to come Let's go over to some comments you guys are on here Throwing in your topics and opinions here's Matt here saying prediction is room bane junior getting at least two and a half Sacks in this game.
23:37
[SPEAKER_02]: I think you would be able to slot that into a bold prediction for the rookie from my almost certainly
23:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that would be added and we'll do our bold predictions at the very end before we do score predictions.
23:46
[SPEAKER_02]: So we want to hear all your bold predictions.
23:48
[SPEAKER_02]: Please dome in the chat.
23:49
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll bring them up here on to the screen and we'll get the guys as takes on that Marcella saying running is key for winning and that is going to be an interesting aspect for to see what Zach Robinson's going out there with the mixture of Kenny Gainwell now added onto this team alongside Bucky Irving now.
24:09
[SPEAKER_02]: Speaking about running backs, River, you were on hand at practice today, you saw Sean Tucker participating in his act.
24:21
[SPEAKER_01]: 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
24:41
[SPEAKER_01]: based on the way that we saw him in that window.
24:43
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's pretty good news.
24:45
[SPEAKER_01]: A positive reaction.
24:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I wrote a little bit about this on Bucks game.
24:47
[SPEAKER_01]: They article out now.
24:48
[SPEAKER_01]: A positive direction for that to be going with Sean Tucker.
24:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Todd Bull said he was a game time decision on Monday, which is never great when that happens.
24:59
[SPEAKER_01]: to have a look on up in a string.
25:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's pretty nice.
25:02
[SPEAKER_01]: So potentially could be that positive game hand decision on Sunday, but we'll have to wait and see if not running back in Josh Williams will probably be elevated to play in this place.
25:15
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't know exactly what role Tucker's going to have this year last year.
25:18
[SPEAKER_01]: He was there.
25:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Go line back.
25:20
[SPEAKER_01]: It's why he netted over at 8 touchdowns last year.
25:22
[SPEAKER_01]: He had 7.
25:24
[SPEAKER_01]: seven he has seven touchdowns last year and given that he could do that again or that grabs in my head from points for him going forward.
25:33
[SPEAKER_01]: So it could be an important part of this offense, but we might not know for a few weeks.
25:38
[SPEAKER_00]: If I had to guess, I would imagine that that's going to be the case is that they'll just rule him out for for week one, you know, take it for cautionary as much as possible with it.
25:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm supposed to say game time decision on Monday.
25:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it doesn't strike much confidence in that he's going to be on Sunday.
25:55
[SPEAKER_00]: And I would fully expect for them to elevate Josh Williams into the active lineup for for week one.
26:01
[SPEAKER_02]: That was a hamstring correct to that we saw was a hamstring.
26:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, so yeah, those are and those are ones that you want to kind of not have to get him running as much so early you would like to have a full week of rest there because those interests because we saw him practice last week and then we get the practice on Monday and that kind of flares up so we'll see what happens with Tucker Chris Cole feeling confident burrow is in for a rude.
26:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Awakening against this Todd Bull's defense to begin at the season.
26:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, all right Let's see what Steven says here double digit sacks and force fumbles on Joe Burl and Chase Brown Result in scoop and scores for touchdowns by Alex and Zaloney at Josiah Trotter It's a linebacker show two newcomers in this defense.
26:47
[SPEAKER_02]: I think every bucks fan would literally literally do backflips if this I play yes
26:54
[SPEAKER_02]: at the last couple of seasons.
26:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
26:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
26:57
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, if you could do a backflip, do it.
27:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Whatever you need to do, get your palm palms.
27:01
[SPEAKER_02]: But I mean, if this defense has some kind of explosive performance like that, you kind of get that feel like maybe Todd Bowles is back in his bag.
27:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe a little bit there.
27:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.
27:13
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why.
27:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, if that were to happen, what would that put them on pace towards, you know, the group in Buccaneer's defensive touchdowns, or would that put them like up there towards surpassing it?
27:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think they would be on pace.
27:26
[SPEAKER_00]: How many of these groups can get there?
27:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, I'll do a quick stat look.
27:30
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the 2002 team.
27:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't remember what the number was, but it's like,
27:34
[SPEAKER_00]: something nuts like something like it's hard to repeat, but if they get to scoop and score touchdowns up, if I'm full of money, that'll work for getting double did you work?
27:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Can you please play out if we're including the playoffs that season, they played 19 games, that was nine total defense of touchdowns, and to that extent I was 10.
27:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't remember
27:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Steven's expected ten or so ten or more sex to in here.
28:02
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's what I'm looking at.
28:03
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, that is a that is we're talking bold bold predictions.
28:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Give me give me if you've got sack ten times on Sunday.
28:12
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't get back up.
28:14
[SPEAKER_02]: He's out of Cincinnati.
28:15
[SPEAKER_02]: He said that's it.
28:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Wrap it up.
28:17
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm out.
28:18
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm done.
28:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to be single one of those offensive linemen out of the facility.
28:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I can know it also moves, it would also mostly be as faulty and it's kind of as faulty get sucked a lot and since then anyway, but it's in the description of another time.
28:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, a box fans would also too be booking their tickets for a Super Bowl of that defense place the way that it does there.
28:37
[SPEAKER_02]: I like the blood predictions, though.
28:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Please keep them come and this is from Matt saying another prediction, bro ends up being himself and the past rush gets all.
28:46
[SPEAKER_02]: I like these creative ones here.
28:48
[SPEAKER_02]: And he'd be shocked.
28:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to need to pee themselves in their football.
28:50
[SPEAKER_00]: You first.
28:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
28:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Getting rails to civic here to the end.
28:56
[SPEAKER_02]: We are.
28:56
[SPEAKER_02]: We're getting real.
28:57
[SPEAKER_02]: This is our show.
28:58
[SPEAKER_02]: This is our audience, guys.
28:59
[SPEAKER_02]: This is what we built and get job guys.
29:03
[SPEAKER_02]: uh... here here's good here's a good nice realistic one common at down a little bit just need one sack from bane in this game is coming from d e
29:12
[SPEAKER_01]: That's per game.
29:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Per game.
29:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Per game.
29:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Per game.
29:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Per game.
29:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Per game.
29:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Per game.
29:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Per game.
29:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Per game.
29:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Per game.
29:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Per game.
29:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Per game.
29:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Per game.
29:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Per game.
29:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Per game.
29:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Per game.
29:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Per game.
29:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Per game.
29:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Per game.
29:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Per game.
29:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Per game.
29:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Per game.
29:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Per game.
29:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Per game.
29:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Per game.
29:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Per game.
29:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Per game.
29:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Per game.
29:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Per game.
29:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Per game.
29:41
[SPEAKER_01]: So he just might not be coming out of the gate and doing that in the national football league.
29:46
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think pressures and past-rush win rate is just as important if not more important than getting sacks and I do expect we've been bane to do that.
29:55
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see he could just turn on and kind of find that finishing ability in the NFL, but he didn't really have that finishing ability to finish sacks in college.
30:04
[SPEAKER_01]: He went seven and a half socks, first year three and a half socks,
30:09
[SPEAKER_01]: and then 15 and a half and 25, so we'll see what happens.
30:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I wouldn't expect him.
30:15
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't.
30:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's tough.
30:17
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to temper expectations, right?
30:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, obviously the hype is there.
30:21
[SPEAKER_00]: We all know it.
30:23
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a national.
30:24
[SPEAKER_01]: And make no mistake.
30:26
[SPEAKER_01]: He looks really good.
30:27
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, I mean, there's a reason why.
30:30
[SPEAKER_00]: And training camp, yeah.
30:31
[SPEAKER_00]: There's reason for this hype.
30:33
[SPEAKER_00]: And we all understand that, but we also need
30:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Miles Garrett, you know, this is somebody who's going to come in and give you 15 stacks, especially in his rookie year, right?
30:46
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's not that guy.
30:48
[SPEAKER_00]: He could be that guy if he continues on what we think his trajectory is.
30:53
[SPEAKER_00]: But rookie year first NFL game, other, I mean, we did see him in preseason a little bit, but first NFL game, bring it down a notch.
31:03
[SPEAKER_00]: As Rivers
31:08
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're looking at a guy that's going to explode this game, I would put it on yaw yaw, the hobby, that would be somebody that you should point to and be like, man, he's going to have a chance to really have a great game here.
31:19
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're talking about getting after the quarterback and sacks, but I wouldn't mind seeing bane get his first official NFL sack every year.
31:27
[SPEAKER_00]: So.
31:29
[SPEAKER_02]: If you're a Bengals fan here, I think we have a few of them.
31:31
[SPEAKER_02]: You guys tell us your expectations for this game, your biggest concerns, maybe what you feel the most optimistic about for the Bengals so that we can kind of get a feel for what you guys are thinking up there in Cincinnati, because I think there are a handful of you in here with us on this beautiful Thursday.
31:48
[SPEAKER_02]: May we get football tonight?
31:50
[SPEAKER_02]: between the Rams and also the 49ers that bucks play at one o'clock with that being said I think it's time to make some picks for this game guys, but it's gonna be through prize picks of course.
32:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, if they're a river in here with us too, for it.
32:08
[SPEAKER_02]: uh... java price fix man we finally get to actually pick some games that are real not preseason games not world cup not against soccer river but we got football on baby we're here in america hundred plus a real ball it's okay uh... but if you're a new user you can play five get a hundred eighty dollars back if you win in your line-ups there you get a hundred eighty back when bonus line-ups i should say
32:31
[SPEAKER_02]: And we are going to make these picks over here.
32:34
[SPEAKER_02]: And I believe now, from my notification, I saw earlier, we can also add in spread total points and money line in here too.
32:45
[SPEAKER_02]: So we'll see if we can do that in tandem.
32:46
[SPEAKER_02]: If not, we'll just do our regular prop picks.
32:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Caleb, you're smiling.
32:52
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to lead you with the one.
32:53
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll go one each here.
32:55
[SPEAKER_02]: You pick one out of the sorts.
32:57
[SPEAKER_02]: And you tell me where to go on the screen.
32:59
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you want to go with?
33:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, that Joe Burrow one looks like a link click on him.
33:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's to, uh, fair enough.
33:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I think all I need to throw is one touchdown.
33:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, or run one.
33:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, or run one.
33:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
33:14
[SPEAKER_00]: That's, that seems, I don't know why.
33:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Or catch one.
33:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Why is it got the red dot?
33:20
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
33:20
[SPEAKER_02]: It might be a stealer's 19,000 picks on it though.
33:23
[SPEAKER_02]: As you can see with the fun.
33:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
33:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's, let's smash that.
33:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, exactly.
33:30
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, River, you take one on Baker Mayfield.
33:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I can take the hard one.
33:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
33:35
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you can top the.
33:39
[SPEAKER_02]: That stuff.
33:39
[SPEAKER_02]: It's tough for everyone.
33:40
[SPEAKER_02]: It's week one.
33:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on now.
33:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Keep scrolling down.
33:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Keep scrolling.
33:43
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
33:44
[SPEAKER_01]: You can bet on a player's fantasy score.
33:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I go less than 31 and a half pass attempts.
33:55
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think some of 31 all that much.
33:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think that was a good try and get the wrong game early.
33:59
[SPEAKER_01]: It's to have a shit with Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell.
34:04
[SPEAKER_01]: I think if you're throwing it over a 31 times, you're approaching kind of a game plan.
34:08
[SPEAKER_01]: That you hopefully won't expect things.
34:11
[SPEAKER_02]: So we'll go with that.
34:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
34:15
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to stick on the buck side for right now.
34:18
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't actually want to do any of that.
34:21
[SPEAKER_02]: Where is?
34:24
[SPEAKER_02]: They don't have her stun here yet.
34:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, say we're getting stressed.
34:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Wait, hold on now.
34:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Woo, boy.
34:33
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
34:35
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep, there it is.
34:36
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to.
34:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, my Lord.
34:39
[SPEAKER_01]: 46 times.
34:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Holy, is that say touch sounds?
34:44
[SPEAKER_02]: It sure does.
34:45
[SPEAKER_02]: It sure does.
34:47
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going wild on a price pick right here to begin week one, ladies and gentlemen, Ted, hers, finds ends on and that's 46 times.
34:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Chad, that's really how Logan's ruining our parlay.
34:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this would hit too easily.
35:02
[SPEAKER_00]: It's okay.
35:03
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not we're not mad.
35:04
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a bold one.
35:06
[SPEAKER_02]: We got to start off strong here.
35:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Got to start off strong.
35:08
[SPEAKER_02]: I do think he gets into the packages of red zone for Zack Robinson.
35:13
[SPEAKER_02]: They've seen enough.
35:14
[SPEAKER_02]: We saw it first hand right in front of my face right in front of Jacob perishes face who was one on one with him in a corner route who's your starting corner back You don't think you can do that against a bangles corner backs in that second theory
35:26
[SPEAKER_02]: line it up and it's 47 times or whatever the hell we'd better be seeing a little bit of this if this is a well I don't well I heard complaining I heard complaining I wasn't going to send drop for this if we're going to complain I want to hear I love it yeah but if it goes you are so smart but then if it goes badly then we're so I think that's fine yeah
35:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Look at our account.
35:50
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, we're doing pretty good.
35:51
[SPEAKER_02]: We're growing.
35:51
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, ladies and gentlemen, make sure you make sure you tag in.
35:54
[SPEAKER_02]: We got a 25% boost on this sucker going put 59.
35:57
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going.
35:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Now that we're going.
35:59
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going a grand on it.
36:01
[SPEAKER_02]: 1.1 right there right there.
36:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Lock it in.
36:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, okay, but that is going to be our picks for this game.
36:11
[SPEAKER_02]: We could continue to go further on this, most certainly, but luckily, this is a 57.25 times multiplier people sleeping on Earth.
36:20
[SPEAKER_02]: They don't know.
36:21
[SPEAKER_02]: They don't know.
36:22
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll see what happens.
36:23
[SPEAKER_02]: But use that code to HMA.
36:24
[SPEAKER_02]: The link is down in the description.
36:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Appreciate price fix.
36:26
[SPEAKER_02]: This is going to be so much fun.
36:28
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't wait to be rocking with them all throughout the season and so I appreciate them.
36:34
[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, let's keep moving on here.
36:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's get closer to our predictions and the games.
36:40
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to go through a couple of stats because, man, Baker Mayfield is pretty nasty in week one games.
36:49
[SPEAKER_02]: So he is three and oh, as a buck in week one, he's nine touchdowns zero interceptions as we know the bucks are four and oh,
37:00
[SPEAKER_02]: and week one under bulls, if you go back to bulls as openers, this was back in 2022, 19 to three.
37:07
[SPEAKER_02]: At Minnesota, where Baker began his career here in Tampa, 20 to 17.
37:12
[SPEAKER_02]: This was against Washington in 2024, 37 to 20.
37:16
[SPEAKER_02]: And last year in Atlanta, 23 to 20, average score is 25 to 15.
37:23
[SPEAKER_02]: And yes, Todd bulls six and two in week one is head coach,
37:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, so, uh, how are we feeling right here?
37:34
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I, I just wonder, you know, does Baker now that the contract extension stuff is over what that's done?
37:42
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you guys kind of expect out of Baker in this first game and kind of just going into the season?
37:48
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll lead it with you, uh, Caleb.
37:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, those stats are fantastic when you're heading into week one, you're looking at it that way.
37:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I think with bowls, it's more so what is he found to wrinkle his defense.
38:03
[SPEAKER_00]: And the off season and team's not necessarily having, you know, a film print on what he's able to do, which is one of you kind of see, like as the season progresses, that sometimes team start catching on to some of the tells that he's able to give away in his defense.
38:16
[SPEAKER_00]: But early on, season seems to work.
38:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Baker Bayfield just is a guy who loves Paul and I think as soon as he takes that field, it's just like, you know, time to time to play.
38:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's go play some, some backyard football, if you will.
38:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's just who he is as a guy.
38:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't know that he was that good,
38:32
[SPEAKER_00]: numbers, numbers show the truth.
38:33
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm excited for it.
38:35
[SPEAKER_00]: He apparently plays extremely well and Cincinnati too.
38:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure you've got those, that's put up from friend of the show, Greg.
38:42
[SPEAKER_01]: I've got him in my head here too.
38:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Fox sports.
38:45
[SPEAKER_00]: So you guys can go over those, but yeah, it's not shocking to me because it doesn't go just said, but we'll see.
38:51
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be tough matchup.
38:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the buck and ears will have a good chance of winning his game, but we'll get into those predictions later.
38:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, the bucks and the last five games against the Bengals four and one, they've had six stray bucks wins versus the Bengals from 1995 to 2010.
39:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Like they they take care of business and so not one to remember the last Bengals game.
39:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, right.
39:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, don't want that one.
39:23
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, no, the bucks have some success there.
39:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, going over to the Bengals and Trusting Stat here.
39:30
[SPEAKER_02]: As we know, the Bengals don't start off hot.
39:32
[SPEAKER_02]: Two and five under Zack Taylor in the last seven seasons.
39:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Not so pretty there right there.
39:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, in Todd Bowles was asked about the street how hot the bucks are in week one.
39:47
[SPEAKER_02]: He said, I don't think you could put too much stock in it every year is a different.
39:53
[SPEAKER_02]: year.
39:54
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, I mean, Baker starts off hot and that's just what he does.
39:58
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think you see a lot of momentum being road into this season.
40:01
[SPEAKER_02]: This team is healthy.
40:02
[SPEAKER_02]: I was one thing I asked Todd Bowles yesterday is, do you think this is the healthiest team you've ever put out there in week one?
40:08
[SPEAKER_02]: He said, you had to think on a little bit, think on he said, yeah, if I had to say so, yes, this would be the healthiest.
40:14
[SPEAKER_02]: So, glad to get confirmation there from head coach.
40:17
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's something I think that should not
40:21
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I thought, you know, what is that?
40:23
[SPEAKER_02]: Overrated, underrated, what would you place as?
40:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Is that mean, overrated, underrated?
40:28
[SPEAKER_01]: For, for, in what kind of overthought?
40:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, over looked over looked, over looked.
40:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you.
40:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Overlook.
40:34

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
40:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
40:49
[SPEAKER_02]: River just tell them to hit that damn like button.
40:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, well, no, if you do or don't.
40:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just saying reports are saying that you don't you might be in the naughty list for Christmas.
41:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, so he won't present.
41:05
[SPEAKER_02]: If you want to be alright while you're handing out of the presence for us, then River, but I want to The only thing is jailing McMillan, maybe maybe it's Jay Mac that is the only one that I am keeping an eye on closely What do you see it practice say because you don't see a whole we don't see a whole time now It's 15 minutes Especially in the indoor like they were today, so it was even that is true
41:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think, uh, I think a day back will play.
41:33
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the feeling I get.
41:34
[SPEAKER_01]: It's possible he won't use limited, but top bull stays moving around well.
41:39
[SPEAKER_01]: I would imagine if he's already moving around and we saw him in training camp also participating limited amounts Logan even as far back as that.
41:48
[SPEAKER_01]: he was still running around on that knee occasionally doing individual drills and that makes me think that he's probably closer than not to returning.
41:56
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll have to see with how Bulls says tomorrow, he might label him questionable, might label him into game time decision for competitive purposes, but that's when we'll get the immediate injury for it.
42:06
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if anyone's gonna be a rolled out tomorrow.
42:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I would expect that's not the case.
42:11
[SPEAKER_01]: So that'll be fun.
42:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, seems like both teams are coming into it relatively healthy.
42:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I know there is concerns with tomorrow chase and T hit against their respective injuries, but they both return to practice on Monday, same with Shamar Stewart.
42:25
[SPEAKER_00]: He's been back in practice.
42:26
[SPEAKER_00]: So Bengals, there's really only three lifted on their injury reports and they're all back to practice, so I expect them to enter this one fully healthy and same with the box.
42:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Every there's been some limited in D&P.
42:37
[SPEAKER_00]: yesterday for Sean Tucker, but that's going to be a limited fashion today.
42:41
[SPEAKER_00]: He'll probably be ruled out as we spoke on earlier in the pod, so Josh Williams probably be elevated to the active roster, but other than that, I would fully expect everybody to be a go now, whether or not Jay Mac, whether or not, you know, a hundred percent.
42:57
[SPEAKER_00]: will remain to be seen.
42:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I doubt either of them really are going to be at a hundred percent specifically a booga because of the nature of toe injuries.
43:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if you're as tough.
43:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so that will be something to watch or how effective are they going to be when they are in the field, how much how many snaps will they be seeing?
43:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you going to be seeing a little bit more of Ted Hurst and Ted Johnson?
43:17
[SPEAKER_00]: And week one, and that might even throw Cincinnati for a loop two, like are they really going to be game planning for guys to see a little bit more action than anticipated.
43:26
[SPEAKER_00]: So definitely intriguing to see how things are folded for the most part.
43:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody's entering week one fairly healthy.
43:32
[SPEAKER_00]: And hopefully you avoid what happened to both the page bits in the C-Hawks last night with AJ Brown going down with a high ankle sprainers now out four or six weeks.
43:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Sam Darnell I guess appeared to avoid the worst of the worse with his hips, but he's probably not going to play next game.
43:48
[SPEAKER_00]: So hopefully you're able to avoid that come out of it healthy, but entering healthy, that votes well for the buck of your chances.
43:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, looking over at the bangles, there was some injury reports with Jamar Chase.
43:59
[SPEAKER_02]: He higgins from our Stewart, but Jamar Stewart is expected to play in this game along with, like you guys have said, Chase Higgins, this is a healthy matchup between both squads and it is going to be a fun one.
44:13
[SPEAKER_02]: So let me go through a couple of comments and then we're going to get into our bold predictions and our score.
44:19
[SPEAKER_02]: predictions.
44:19
[SPEAKER_02]: So this is from Steven Sane.
44:21
[SPEAKER_02]: I host Rossi a dentist didn't get picked on last week.
44:25
[SPEAKER_02]: One, Rossi John Robinson, Rosemundry concerned might need to bring in Kate Fordham on game day.
44:32
[SPEAKER_02]: Rosemame has been active.
44:33
[SPEAKER_02]: He's been out there in the practices.
44:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Ethan, we're just fitting.
44:36
[SPEAKER_01]: So, makes it seem like he's probably on the way back on the mend.
44:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep, this is from James St. Bro better not hold on to the ball and get sack get rid of it Don't even care if it's penalty for intentional granny.
44:48
[SPEAKER_01]: This is coming Joe borough get sack a lot And it's partially his fault.
44:54
[SPEAKER_01]: So he does hold on the ball quite a bit.
44:56
[SPEAKER_01]: He tries to play here Oh, well, I think stacks are in my opinion at least basically like half a QB stat and very few quarterbacks It's exactly the right edge of a row does so that's gonna be something to take advantage of if you're the books
45:08
[SPEAKER_01]: to wait for him to hold the ball.
45:10
[SPEAKER_01]: You can't give Barrow the five seconds he wants in the pocket, because if you do, he will absolutely annihilate you.
45:16
[SPEAKER_01]: He's hyper accurate, very good ball placement, you know, that those parts of the game are not weak, but taking advantage of the fact that he really wants to hold onto that football and try and make things happen and he takes a lot of sacks as a result.
45:30
[SPEAKER_01]: That's definitely going to be something to look at.
45:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he doesn't really put the ball in the ground that much, like for phone calls or anything like that.
45:37
[SPEAKER_00]: He kind of plays it safe when he's back in the pocket.
45:40
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's why you see a lot of this acts too.
45:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I think sometimes he'll even start to go down by himself because he doesn't want to get hurt.
45:46
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, hit him early, hit him often, get to him and be in his head that hey, I've got to watch out for this than the other and you're going to be in good position.
45:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I have a question for you, too, River.
45:57
[SPEAKER_00]: You said you think Sax or, would you say Sax or, a quick fact?
46:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
46:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Are, are, are wins, a quarter of extra?
46:04
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
46:06
[SPEAKER_01]: But five year you're on that side I put this in effective guys Joe Barrow is the fourth most sacked quarterback in the last five years they're in 181 sacks Baker Mayfield's tie to for the first most sacked quarterback are there last five years the 195s also a quarterback who likes to hold on to the point he does he really does he has sure poor genosmiths tie the bigger mayfield
46:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, genosmith, genosmith.
46:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's all you could say, genos and his own world.
46:38
[SPEAKER_02]: This is from Christopher Thomas, saying, Ancelony will finish the season with at least 67 tackles and five interceptions.
46:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you guys think that's low?
46:49
[SPEAKER_02]: or high, if let me run the numbers for you, 2021 with a Detroit line 78 and 2022, 125 and 2023 had a career high of 129 and 2024, you had 63, but he missed seven arms with a broken forearm and then in 2025, he jumped it back up into the 90s range with 95.
47:10
[SPEAKER_02]: You guys tell me how many tackles for Alex Antelone, your leader and captain on the defense.
47:17
[SPEAKER_01]: That sounds about right, you know, around that area, especially if we're talking about total tackles, I think he'll definitely get around that number.
47:26
[SPEAKER_01]: On the five interceptions thing, I would like to point out that Alexander Looney has played for nine years, and he's gotten four total interceptions in that time.
47:35
[SPEAKER_01]: So that might be a tough ask that that one, but he can
47:41
[SPEAKER_01]: That'd be very nice.
47:41
[SPEAKER_01]: That would tie his season record for picks for season with one.
47:46
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're going to bump.
47:47
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to bump that first number up and drop that second number down.
47:54
[SPEAKER_02]: I have a Christmas feeling optimistic.
47:56
[SPEAKER_02]: He said it's gonna be a close game here.
47:57
[SPEAKER_02]: He says Tampa Bay wins by a fuel goal against the bangles here This is from Stephen again saying that we're getting all kind of creative stuff here.
48:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Joe Burrell throws a Des what is it?
48:09
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep, I probably definitely
48:12
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't, yeah, for a shot of figure it out.
48:16
[SPEAKER_02]: A deep ball touched down, but gets picked up by Dante Scott, who returns it from guessing 99 yards.
48:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Two Cincinnati's one yard line, I guess, you say, so 98 yard return, and then Gainwell runs it in for six plus a two point conversion to put the bucks out of twenty five.
48:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, we are really narrowing it.
48:35
[SPEAKER_01]: I love it.
48:36
[SPEAKER_01]: And octopus for Kenny Gainwell will be following you.
48:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's go.
48:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Chris Godwin had one last year so that we found an octopus week one would feed families.
48:46
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm down from that one.
48:48
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a good boy.
48:48
[SPEAKER_02]: Hell yeah.
48:50
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.
48:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Please.
48:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's go.
48:53
[SPEAKER_02]: We will have the most fun instant reaction on here after that one.
48:56
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll tell you that right now.
48:58
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll pop a beer open for that that happens.
49:01
[SPEAKER_02]: This is from Westlow saying mainstream media are just blindly going with the Bengals because of Joe Burl.
49:06
[SPEAKER_02]: But I think the bucks will dominate that Bengals offensive line and Joe will have a bad game.
49:12
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to listen to a lot of podcasts, national podcasts, all that kind of stuff as every one of you guys.
49:16
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure are doing the same, but I am hearing a lot of Bengals picks, a lot of super ball picks, you know, big run for, for, you know, but I feel like that happens every single year.
49:26
[SPEAKER_02]: That is usually what it is.
49:27
[SPEAKER_02]: The Bengals can stay healthy, the offensive length, and do what they do.
49:31
[SPEAKER_02]: then they can go on a run and go back to what they did how many years now I'll go is that four or five years ago and they made it to the Super Bowl so yeah is it too much high for the bangles or do you guys think yes if we're talking Super Bowl I think when you have I think Joe Burrow is the fourth best quarterback in football and when you have a guy like that
49:56
[SPEAKER_01]: You're liable to win a ton of games.
49:57
[SPEAKER_01]: The offensive is going to score a lot of points, but to you Higgins and Jamar Chase, and it's an offensive league.
50:02
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think it's more than just blindly.
50:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I would say the bangles have a lot to like also added to Jonathan Allen and Dexter Lawrence on that line, which could be pretty lethal up front.
50:14
[SPEAKER_01]: but they are very incomplete team.
50:16
[SPEAKER_01]: They're I think the defense in the secondary have a lot of work to do.
50:19
[SPEAKER_01]: The offensive line is bottom five returning every starter from its bottom five season last year.
50:25
[SPEAKER_01]: That's probably not going to work if you run it back.
50:28
[SPEAKER_01]: So they're going to have problems and I have you know.
50:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Zach Taylor is a, you know, as a coach, I think I was a lot of people have been turned to by him.
50:36
[SPEAKER_01]: We had Zach versus Zach, by the way, spelled C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C, C
51:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Like the majority of NFL teams, they've got weak spots, right?
51:03
[SPEAKER_00]: We know where the buck years are when it comes, they're secondary, right?
51:07
[SPEAKER_00]: That's their problem right now and kind of they have to outplay what they currently have.
51:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Offensive wine for the Bengals defense for the Bengals offensive wine.
51:18
[SPEAKER_00]: they're really going to come down to how successful can it be.
51:21
[SPEAKER_00]: It can be one of the best offenses in the country, right?
51:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Like we all know that.
51:25
[SPEAKER_00]: But our is areas, memes, and Orlando Brown Jr. are going to be enough to get things done to be able to protect Oprah.
51:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't necessarily think so.
51:35
[SPEAKER_00]: So that kind of lowers the ceiling for their potential offense.
51:39
[SPEAKER_00]: We acknowledge the questions concerns with Zack Taylor as a head coach.
51:44
[SPEAKER_00]: So if they're unable to put it together,
51:48
[SPEAKER_00]: They're a playoff.
51:49
[SPEAKER_00]: They're a fringe playoff team to me, right?
51:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, they're a team that can get in as a wild card or something like that.
51:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Or even potentially go out and win the division that they're in, based on everybody beating each other up and what goes on with the Ravens and everybody else in that division.
52:04
[SPEAKER_00]: But again, are they going to be able to do it in the playoffs in the first round?
52:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Could be a first round balance kind of it's very.
52:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I hate to say it, but it's very similar to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, right?
52:15
[SPEAKER_00]: The way that their team is and the way that they're looking upon.
52:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, with Joe Burrow at quarterback, you're going to get a little bit more of the national attention than in Tampa, which is why these guys are taking the bingles to win, but yeah, I don't foresee them being a cerebral contender, just like I don't see the Buccaneers being a cerebral contender at this moment.
52:36
[SPEAKER_02]: all right guys it's time to do some score predictions for this one the guys will be logging this all throughout the season we can see how accurate we are we'll see who's the biggest loser after a couple of weeks so
52:47
[SPEAKER_02]: There's gonna be some pride on this show.
52:49
[SPEAKER_02]: So we'll see who was gonna be the most accurate.
52:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's jump over to this first.
52:53
[SPEAKER_02]: So we gotta go to bold predictions.
52:56
[SPEAKER_02]: I can start off first and then river and then Caleb.
52:59
[SPEAKER_02]: I think mine is pretty clear.
53:01
[SPEAKER_02]: We did it earlier in the price fix segment.
53:02
[SPEAKER_02]: I've got Ted Hershey, rookie scoring a touchdown.
53:06
[SPEAKER_02]: And this shouldn't be too much of a shock because if you go back last few couple of years, a rookie usually does find the end zone.
53:13
[SPEAKER_02]: For the box and I am writing once again, it's just what all the way back to tree Palmer whenever he came and I believe he scored a touchdown in his first game.
53:22
[SPEAKER_02]: I do have Ted Hearst.
53:23
[SPEAKER_02]: I think just coming.
53:24
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, this is the kid that has gone along with like a mecca his first, you know, his first camp and everything just a lot of opportunities.
53:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously being with the ones.
53:33
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, Ted Hirsch just kind of got thrown in there because of Jay Mack and a mech of being out.
53:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Ted is ready for it.
53:38
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Jason Light and the front office are very excited for the season ahead from their rookie, white or seer, but I got him scoring a touch on first game.
53:46
[SPEAKER_02]: River, what do you have in your bolt prediction for this one?
53:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Gyadiyabi picks up two sacks for the sacks, okay.
53:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, not dissimilar actually to what I think someone had room and bane getting to a half, but I think Gyadiyabi most certainly will benefit from room and bane putting on the pressure against us tonight, bangles defense.
54:11
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a bold prediction, so I don't think it's going to, you know, absolutely happen, but if anybody feasts against this line, I think it's Yada Diabe, and I think if he really has gotten that finishing ability kind of downpat this all season, like he's working on, he could show it early and really get a joe burrow.
54:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, all right, I like there's Matt, I think it was Matt Hankson, who said, Bane to a half.
54:34
[SPEAKER_01]: This is kind of similar to that.
54:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Yada Diabe.
54:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to go defensively here, and I'm going to go with Rookie Kiante Scott making the game changing play.
54:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay, a game running 99 yards to the one the other line.
54:49
[SPEAKER_00]: No, not not not quite that, but yeah, I think the kids just always around the ball.
54:55
[SPEAKER_00]: He hits really hard.
54:56
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got very great instincts.
54:58
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you get a free run on Barrow or he's just able
55:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Somebody after they catch a ball is on a crossing route or whatever.
55:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's just a guy that has a knack for doing stuff like that, right?
55:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Like a guy that's that's born to just make plays, and that's what talk was like, so I think he's going to be in very great positions in order to do so.
55:18
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
55:20
[SPEAKER_02]: I like it.
55:20
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
55:20
[SPEAKER_02]: No, he is going to be very aggressively used.
55:23
[SPEAKER_02]: I think just depends how quickly he's been able to get this defense down, but this staff has been very proud of how those rookies have came in and
55:33
[SPEAKER_02]: in the playbook.
55:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Now let's go over to score predictions for this one.
55:38
[SPEAKER_02]: I can begin us and we can kind of just snake it through over there here on the screen, Caleb, to River.
55:44
[SPEAKER_02]: But I've felt pretty confident about this one and for the last couple of weeks just because this team is healthy.
55:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Again, all the nonsense out of the way with the contract negotiations between Betavaya and
55:58
[SPEAKER_02]: uh... getting back uh... mecca and jamaq for this game is going to be big and i think this defense of line that jason light and todd bowls of enabled to completely revamp with an attitude of pissed off attitude with new leadership involved to which it seems like it was much needed i think they take care of business against the bangles who don't have great start to their seasons
56:21
[SPEAKER_02]: But they get what they need to do on the road, which we can make that has been able to do successfully for quite a while with the bugs.
56:26
[SPEAKER_02]: I've got them winning this game 28 to 21.
56:34
[SPEAKER_02]: There's my bad.
56:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and I've been I like both teams.
56:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I spoke earlier in the week about our I think it's going to be an extremely close matchup.
56:44
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to come down to who exploits the
56:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and unfortunately for Tampa Bay, I believe that the Bengals are able to take a advantage of that there will be weapons on the outside over a young, unproven secondary of the Buccaneers, uh, even though I do believe that there's going to be plenty of pressures.
57:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure if they're going to get there right off the bat, um, and it's going to be a close one.
57:07
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think I did predict that the Bengals would get this win when we were going through our game by game predictions earlier this week.
57:15
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I'm gonna have Cincinnati coming away with a win at home in a closely contested matchup coming away with a 27 to 23 win Okay, gotcha
57:28
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna go 28 27 bucks.
57:32
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's going to be kind of a shootout.
57:33
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the bucks defense will put the offense in some positions to score.
57:37
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if Zach Rod was obviously going to be thumbing immediately, but this bangles off offense is going to score points.
57:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the bucks are going to just edge him out in week one to keep the top bulls streak alive.
57:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Alright, go with.
57:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Subject a change.
57:53
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a change.
57:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
57:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Or you can't change your prediction.
57:57
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no, the bucks went.
58:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Bucks went for sure.
58:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Score.
58:02
[SPEAKER_01]: If we're doing a score prediction thing, you know, what does it look like?
58:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's what I'll see.
58:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Caleb, what was yours again?
58:07
[SPEAKER_02]: And you had 27 or 23 Cincinnati.
58:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, making sure just because I've got a whole set up now over here making sure we're correct on logging these perfect output that in so then we know Who's gonna be accurate?
58:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Who is not and see how close we are as we head all throughout this season?
58:28
[SPEAKER_02]: It should be a fun.
58:29
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll have an instant reaction for you guys afterward right after the game ends Caleb River and I will be here from home.
58:36
[SPEAKER_02]: So this will be nice.
58:36
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll be able to jump on board with you guys
58:39
[SPEAKER_02]: And give you our thoughts, what stood out, the pros, cons, give some grades to some position groups in this first one.
58:46
[SPEAKER_02]: And looking forward to seeing what you guys also think about this game.
58:50
[SPEAKER_02]: It should be a fun one week one on the road, in Cincinnati, the Bucks Bengals.
58:54
[SPEAKER_02]: That's going to do it for us.
58:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Y'all enjoy the rest of y'all's week and weekend and we'll see you later on Sunday afternoon after game route.
59:00
