[Assistant] Uh, the, the, uh, the Bills lost in week one to Zach Rogers. Then they won three straight games by 28 plus points. And then they've led for nine minutes and 53 seconds in the last three games. Went to London and as Breach noted as our overseas correspondent, they got there literally 12 minutes before the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last week they should have lost to the Giants, and this week they did lose to the previously 1-win New England Patriots. Take the floor, Bruce.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he's 100%. Hold on. Let me, let me just throw this at you. Here's the question. So Dalton Kincaid was targeted eight times. Dawson Knox is out of the picture, apparently. Stefan Diggs targeted 12 times. Then James Cook, the running back. Uh, let's keep scrolling, keep scrolling. Gabe Davis, one catch for six yards. This isn't working.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I mean, they, they lost. They should have lost to the Giants. They no-showed for the Jacks. I don't even know if this is just a page.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just didn't want you to besmirch McCrackle's name. I mean, he, and I'll be honest, as I was watching the game, as you were watching it, I said, please for the love of God, throw the ball, Mack Jones and throw it close to the ground because it is going to get intercepted. You, you wily SOB. All right. Just so you guys know ahead of time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mac Jones, break it, my MVP at the end of the show. For now though, going to take a quick break when we come back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna talk about how good this Browns team really is right after this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like anyone goes anywhere to podcasts. Thank you for letting me go to the bathroom. Of course. All right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think you can say that word anymore. FCC violation. All right. And also it's ageism. Making fun of old people who are having to go to the bathroom a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brown's 39, Colt's 38. This game had nine lead changes. And Breach, I gotta come to you first because this made me literally laugh out loud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is what old people say now. Old people say LOL on Facebook breach. Uh, if I read this headline to you in week seven, or read to you over the summer and said this is what's gonna happen in week seven, tell me who you think I would be talking about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First Colts quarterback in team history with two pass touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns in one game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was feeling the same way. So this is more like more about the Browns, but I thought that was funny. Gardner giveth and Gardner taketh away. But I think that also applies to taketh away in terms of Miles Garrett and how dominant he was in this game and how he had to drag this team in the first half at least over the finish line because Deshaun Watson and maybe we should start here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's the deal with Deshaun Watson? It looked like he got concussed, uh, Kevin Spassky didn't bring it back in after the first half. They went with PJ Walker who was just doing crazy things cause that's how PJ Walker operates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Later they said it was a shoulder with Deshaun. So I don't know what the deal is, but he did not come back in. He was on the sidelines cheering happily for his team as they won. This team feels like a playoff team, but they have to get the quarterback situation sorted out. So how do you get the quarterback situation sorted out?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that division, the Ravens, breeches Ravens, I think it's, it's probably percentage wise. I would put it at like 40, like 9.4%.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quickly, I should point this out. Breach, I'll just push back quickly. And you, I think you agree with this, I just think you're speaking generally maybe about Cleveland. But I think all of us last year were not impressed with Deshaun Rusty or not. And the thing that I kept saying,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that's impressive, but not as impressive as what the Chiefs did to the Chargers. And by Chiefs, I mean Travis Kelsey, uh, who apparently, um, plays really good when his girlfriend comes to the games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, a lot of times in high school, your girlfriend comes, you get nervous, you know, throw a bunch of interceptions or drop a bunch of passes. That ain't, that ain't how Travis Kelsey rolls. Uh, the bigger issue, um, and this is Harry's talking point here and this defense actually absolutely got after it. Uh, Justin Herbert.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, fun story, remember when we were crushing the Dolphins for taking 2-0-1 pick ahead of Justin Herbert?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It just goes to show, like, you don't know what you don't know, and year one doesn't mean anything, year two sometimes doesn't. And I love Justin Herbert, but too, uh, credit to him for bouncing back. But Herbert has four touchdowns and four interceptions in his last three games. He's under 60% in three straight games. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Chargers somehow with Kellen Moore are averaging 19.3 points per game in their last three games. I mean, what is going on there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With Justin Herbert, and I guess you could blame the finger on his non-throwing hand, but it certainly feels like it's more than that. And the bigger takeaway, and this is what Harry was getting at in the rundown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll come to you first, Breach. Uh, this Chiefs defense, we know about the Chiefs offense. This Chiefs defense and Steve's bags, they're absolutely getting after it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nick Bolton did leave with a wrist injury, so we'll see what happens with that. That, I think, is a dislocated wrist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's kind of important, but again, every team is injured at this point of the year. I think the bigger issue is not for Kansas City because when we're saying things like, can this defense continue to kick people's asses? That's a good conversation to have. The other question is what's going on with the dischargers team? I mean, it is just one thing after the next, they can't be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the Chiefs no matter what. And they're losing the team they shouldn't lose to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it is an absolute hot mess. And if your best player is playing like, you know, Matt Johnson's worst day, you got some things to sort out. So I mean, do you think Justin Harvard started to wonder if he's clutch?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I think Justin Herbert's really good. I just think that he's pressing. He lost Mike Williams, Quentin Johnson. Or do you think he's going to send some anonymous emails in like maybe wish a good new coach? I mean, he may not be anonymous about it. I don't know because it's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it was actually close for two thirds of that game. It was competitive. And then, much like the Dolphins game at the end, it got away from them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, speaking of bad football, and this was funny, cause uhm, turns out I actually do read the athletic and I was reading to see what they were saying about, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Matt LaFleur and just that team before the game and one of the questions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the headline, I don't know if it was a mail back or not, was whether Matt LaFleur was in the hot seat. I was like, wow, that is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty crazy, given that we're seven weeks into the post-Aaron Rodgers era. Uh, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He ain't getting a lot of help from this team. He said last week, execution was a problem. And it wasn't necessarily saying, you know, I think we can, I give this team a pass. We have to play better. And you know, Jordan Love had an interception in the end there. Wasn't asked to do a whole bunch, only threw for 180. Aaron Jones played, that was sort of a surprise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, he did some things when he's out there, but it was mostly AJ Dylan doing the heavy lifting. We saw some of the young players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Luke Musgrave, Romeo Dobbs, Meg Plays, uh, Jayden Reed, the uh, Day 2 pick, Dantavian Wicks, the Day 3 pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That said, if you lose to the Broncos, you gotta have some serious soul searching. So, uh, Breach, does Jordan love the answer?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are we going in another direction? Can you fix this? Where are we on the, on the Green Bay Package? As you mentioned, the NFC North, sort of wide open.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't know. I mean, if they're picking in the top 10, they're going to have some serious conversations about where they're going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doesn't matter if I like him or not, if he keeps throwing the ball to the other team. Um, shout out to Russ Wilson for winning a football game. Somehow Russ isn't the problem on that team. So that's, that's a, that's a positive development, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is what it is, right. We're too busy yelling about Deshaun Watson and other quarterbacks who are playing terribly. So yeah, Russ, just stay in the middle. All right. Speaking of average football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, we're living in a world, we're going to Los Angeles in case you're, you're keeping score on your, on your map at home breach where the Steelers had a home game basically at SoFi Stadium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Against the Rams. We're living in a world where the Steelers have the same record as the Miami Dolphins. The Miami Dolphins could play the Steelers 100 times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the aggregate score would be 40 million to four. And that'd be two safeties, no points scored by Matt Cannon's offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. And they'd still come out of a, with a, you know, Matt Cano would get an extension out of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's take a break. Sorry Harry, I missed it. Alright, let's take a quick break and then we'll come back and then we'll tell you about, uh, how this dealer snuck a win out at SoFi Stadium. Right for this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's some, uhm, some things that keep Sean McVeigh up at night. We'll talk about that last series that will certainly keep him up at night. At one point during this game, the Rams had 28 minutes to 16 minutes time possession. The Steelers defenses on the field the entire time and they were gassed. Uhm, the Rams finished 9 of 16 on third down. The Steelers only 4-12.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the Rams had one interception. It was TJ Watt just going crazy. TJ Watt, he, he thought that Joe Burrow was playing the way he was playing defense. He almost ran it back for, for a touchdown. They gave the Steelers a first down at the seven yard line. And as Daryl Johnston mentioned, uh, during the telecast, it's not very often you get seven yard drives to steal off and see you start doing things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we fast forward, somehow the running game gets going, somehow the Rams stall in the second half. And then we get deep into the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two minutes, 12 seconds to go. The Rams right at timeouts, because Sean McVey is terrible with timeouts. He used one early in the second half. I was like, why are you doing that? Fourth and goal from the Rams 46 yard line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Kenny Pickett is a lot of things, but he is not jailing her. So they try to tush push and he probably got negative yards. The guy who, the side judge who put the spot down clearly is a Steelers fan because they gave him a first down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Brinson, because it was at 212 and because the Rams had no timeouts, it was not going to be an automatic review. And then when they came back from the two minute warning, the Steelers just had to kneel out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they won the game. The ball was at the 46 as I mentioned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a very good chance you would imagine that Matthew Stafford would either use Cooper Nicole or Cooper Cup, uh, to find his way down the field or Darryl Henderson who ran for 4 million yards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But as Sean McVeigh said after the game, he said we did some things leading up to that, that he said the right things. But I mean, there's no way in God's will you know if the sealer should have left that game with a win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, man, the Giants and the Commanders was something that you...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you punish your kids, you make them watch this. Uh, 18 combined punts, uh, breach. You probably watch that game naked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but everyone else was, was very, was very saddened by that. But I want to talk specifically and, and Breach, I'm going to ask you this because you have great experience with, uh, and actually I do sort of too with young quarterbacks playing behind offensive lines that refuse to block for them. I'm talking about Joe Burrow in your case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sam Burrow, uh, Sam Burrow, they wish. Sam Howell was sacked six more times. Uh, he's been sacked 40 times this season, second most by any quarterback through seven games. Um, uh, the, uh, the winner of course is David Carr and David Carr held the record as his rookie season 2002 at 43 at this point. And then he did it again in 2005, he had 37.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How did the Bengals fix it and how did the commanders fix it or is this something that people don't have to lose their jobs over and it's going to have to happen over a year or two?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it does appear to be going well there. Someplace that is going well, but as Harry notes, uh, it can't even, it's a, it's a Pyrrhic victory as it were, Chicago. Great story for Tyson Bajent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Saw him at the senior bowl. Division 2 shepherd. I will be honest. I watched him at the senior bowl and said, this kid is overwhelmed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coming from D2, playing against a lot of these, these kids from Power 5 schools. Then I watched him in the preseason. He was absolutely bawling out. The last game he played in college, and Rick Spielberg and I talked about this on the With First Pick podcast last week, was against Colorado School of the Mines and they absolutely destroyed, uh, Shepard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And 2021 Tyson through 50 something touchdowns, 2022 through 40 something touchdowns due for almost 10,000 yards the last two years in college. And here he is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Taking it to the Raiders. I see Josh Mcgale's name trending on Twitter. Uh, but Brenton, I'll ask you this, because you are a, uh, the conspiracy theorist on this, on this here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Podcast show. Indeed. Uh, the Bears are now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Third in the draft order, luckily Carolina Panthers didn't play this week so they're still winless and they still hold the first overall pick and they still traded that pick to Chicago so they have that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there's no longer a Caleb Williams, Marvin Harrison.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Marriage in the Bears future because they're picking third maybe in the best interest and get offensive lineman, but, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're the owner, are you having a conversation with Matt Eberflu? So, I mean, you put the Division 2 kid out there and you still won a football game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the last two weeks have been amazing. No, he has. The first half of yesterday was straight up dog food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not a great weekend for big name quarterbacks. Justin Harbert, Drake May, Caleb Williams. Everyone's losing. My point to you though is, should the Bears be trying to lose or are they okay doing this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Bagen is actually from West Virginia. He went to the transfer portal after the 2021 season. He had some D1 offers from pretty big schools. He came back to Sheppard and then he balled out until he met, uh, ran to Colorado School of the Mines. But, uh, it's a great story, especially if you saw him at the senior bowl, even if you watched the game when he played in the senior bowl, you're like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, this kid is, is not getting dressed. I knew NFL teams liked him because of the size and he, he gave a great interview after the game. So I'm happy for him. His dad, by the way, a professional arm wrestler. He has something like 18 titles. Um, so if that's, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, one last thing, think about this, think about your-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] BvP is why I tell you this, this thing. Uh, perhaps the thing about tanking, like I don't think teams tank. There's too, too many moving parts. It's like conspiracy things. I can pull it off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the other thing is, and I mentioned a second ago, don't forget, Lovey Smith won that week 18 game against the Jaguars, whoever was the Colts last year. Yeah, Colts. And I got them CJ as opposed to Bryce. They wanted Bryce. They didn't like CJ during the process. They were thinking about taking Will Anderson, number two, fell in their lap. And that, it turns out,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the Caesar Milan, if you're a dog person, sometimes you get the dog you need, not the dog you want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got the quarterback they needed, not the one they wanted. So just win football games and see what happens unless you're Zach Taylor and you get Joe Burrow following you to lap and suddenly you're a Hall of Fame coach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I already talked about him earlier and I can't believe Brish besmirched Youngway Coo's name. So I will go with him. All right, that's it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Week 7, Sunday Night Super Friends is a wrap, but don't worry, see you back here next Sunday. Not in the meantime, you can check us out, our CheckPixx Podcasts out all week on YouTube at Phil on CBS, wherever we get your podcasts. Thanks to Breach, thanks to Brenton, thanks to Producer Harry, and thanks to all you guys who watch and listen. We'll see you guys later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't agree, I don't agree, guys. I'm operating on... Are you wearing an all-juice sweatshirt, too? That's unfair. I'm operating on 48 consecutive weeks of football here, man, from...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Super Bowl doll all the way through. Listen, I'm all in. CFL is on right now too. So Ottawa and Montreal. So I'm all in on football. You guys are talking crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, don't, don't talk. That's y'all's question. Y'all, you know what I'm saying? That's like me arguing with my co-presenter. That's like me telling myself, don't tell me what to do. I already know the answer to this already. You gotta answer that question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I've seen, I've seen this all throughout the spring and summer with XFL, you spell. And right now CFL, I jumped out to a 20 and four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, CFL record, right? Or 16 and four jumped out. And then as you know, the book started to finally get a grasp on, on these teams right now, depending on how this goes today, I'm going to either be, um, 40 and 28 or 40 and 29 or 39 and 29.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, based off if Montreal beats Ottawa. Cause so you starting to see, you see it to your point. Well, you see it start to sharpen up and it's been like that in the XFL, the USFL, my college football usually jumps out early and then by, you know, I'm able to maintain a nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, distance, but you start to see that big lead shrink a little bit to where you find it. Okay. Let me just not pick 10 games this week. Let me pick three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Broncos offense is broken past the opening script. So it's about what's the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thing here, what's going, something has to give. And to your point, Katie, will this chief's offense find its life against this defense of the Denver Broncos?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, what we see yesterday versus Jets was a sign of things to come for Denver. Because they were able to, granted, they were playing a Jets passing game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the run game was, was giving up a lot of big plays on the ground. So maybe what are we going to see from the Broncos defense? Cause I still feel like stopping the runners about effort and want to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, and you didn't see a lot of effort, you know, in terms of, you know, run fits for, for camp, for Denver. So this is a tough game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can definitely see the under being the play here. Uhm, I would stay away from the point spread.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Play with their food a lot, you know, in all these games, right? And I said last week that this game versus the Pittsburgh Steelers was always a tricky one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of Lamar's historical, uh, history with the Ravens, uh, against the Steelers, but also, I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This game, and this, they're playing this one overseas, right? This is the London game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I tweeted this out during the game while I was on the treadmill. I'm like, this was early in the game. You could see these guys were hesitant on cutting and planning and it was like, yo, something's wrong with this field. They don't feel right. Then throughout the game, we saw what happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like it didn't look like it had any give and you saw, and I saw from the first punt return when normally Agnew would have cut that dude up the first two, but he just kind of like played it safe. Didn't really plan, try to make the guy miss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we saw the lower leg injuries throughout. So this can be a slow, slowly played game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What helps Baltimore is that Tennessee has no threat in the passing game outside of Deandre Hopkins, but you kind of roll covers him. You can put Humphrey on him, but we've seen the Ravens do a good job of beating Derrick Henry to the spot. He doesn't have the lateral agility and won't have it on this field that they're going to play in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I like the Ravens to win and I also like the under here as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's why the under is what it is right now. Not because of the Sean Watson's because the Browns actually match up well versus San Francisco. The problem here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I worry about this game for, the Sean Watson has no problem playing an aggressive passing game if he plays. More so than, than Dak. Dak was playing not to lose and ended up losing the game because of the interceptions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Watson has no fear in throwing the ball down the field. The problem is this game could look a lot like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first game, the Steelers-Browns game for Cleveland because the same issue is still there at left tackle and Jedrick Wills, who's not having a great year. And so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who's gonna, they're gonna take turns rushing on his side and making him play left tackle. How are you supposed to be, how is it supposed to be played? Now the Browns can run the ball. They're much more apt to run the ball than Dallas. I'm pretty sure that whole fantasy football community that told everybody that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Pollard was the next Volter Dickerson, you know what I'm saying? That hasn't transpired. Maybe it's a thing why he didn't go around one, right? Uh, but the Browns defense is something that could, is pound for pound a lot better than the Cowboys defensive front.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think that's going to be the key here, which is why they're anticipating the lower scoring game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's about point of attack, but you can't, I can't trust judgeic wills.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, protecting Deshaun Watson versus Pittsburgh like he tried to do in versus this defensive line. So the under may be the best play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I said, you know, and they also on the road. So, you know, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of both teams. Do you believe what we saw from Washington last Thursday to be the true Washington? Do you believe what we saw yesterday from?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now you got both of those teams on the field. I like the Falcons defense more than I like Washington's defense. It was a shame to watch them bench their first round pick, uh, Forbes against the Bears, but man, yeah, he was, you know, in hell, so to speak out there against, um, DJ Moore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But do we trust the Falcons passing game, or Arthur Smith more or less, to call a balanced game? And I would totally stay away from this one because these two teams...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You really have to gauge the opponent and weak people. It's tough when they both play each other. So that's like how I stood away from that, um, Vikings Chargers game. Cause they are the same team, just different coats of paint. This is the same exact game, different coats of paint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No identity at all. And I feel for Bryce Young, because I feel like this dude is just like mentally exhausted. Like you've come off the field, you first talk the frame right, form a quarterback, then right in your face,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's Josh McCown, another former quarterback. Then you, you know, here's Kurt Warner's silver jacket. Then you got JT O'Sullivan sitting down on there with his, with his table and his bookshelf before we even get to the sideline to go get a drink. Like, man, I'm talking to all these quarterbacks. Let me just process what I just saw and get back out there until they find an identity. It's funny how, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People in, in Charlotte, our Panther fans are talking about, well, we got to get a receiver. Well, you had, you kind of had one. Then you have Barrett's fans talking about, well, we need defense. Well, you kind of had Khalil Mack, Roekweinsman, but you didn't, you know what I'm saying? So now you wonder why you have a problem. Um, guys, we didn't pay the running back, but you know, why we can't run the ball? Oh, wow. You know what I'm saying? I don't know, man. Exactly. Right. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good luck trade for somebody. But they gotta find an identity. Whatever they want to do, stick with it and stop over-coaching the kids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Still believe in fields because it's, I think we've gotten enamored as a, you know, media landscape to believe people that, that shouldn't be believed, right? A lot of people told you that, um, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Josh Rosen and Baker Mayfield was the best quarterbacks in the 2018 draft when it was Lamar Jackson. They talked down there. If you want to say Josh Allen, that's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One has an MVP, one is on the cover of MAD. Um, and then you have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The same people told you that Trubisky was the best quarterback in the class that had Watson and Mahomes in it. Like these are the same people that tell you that running the ball doesn't matter, but then he was upset last night because the Cowboys couldn't run the ball with the guy that they hyped up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? So maybe you gotta stop listening to these people. And I feel like that's the issue right now with Justin Philips. Your eyes tell you this dude can play and he has talent. The problem is they need someone opposite of DJ Moore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Put at one, Trey Dapper, and I said this to the cow, and uh, I think we all on set when I said it was like,

[Assistant] Man, I'm, I'm not, yeah, you could trade one of those two top five picks or whatever, but trade one for players. You need players. You don't need more lottery tickets. You need, man, give me your best defensive player. Give me your best, you know, uh, cornerback and you can have this number two overall pick and we'll take that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other pick we have and build around Justin Fields, cause we clearly see he is not the problem here. I think that's how they have to look at it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he plays like Gardner Minshew and not Minshew Mania, I think that's where he gets into the problems, where he buys into the hype.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, oh, I'm, I'm Menchu Manny, I gotta come out here, make some crazy plays. Like nah, bro, just play within yourself, play like Brock Purdy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Play within the offense. You got two great running backs now. Uhm, Zach Moss is having a resurgence. Uhm, looking like Utah's Zach Moss and then you have Jonathan Taylor is back. It's going to get a little bit more involved in the offense, especially now. And if they can just continue to do that, uhm, and play complimentary football defense, you know, get some key stops and because they matched up well with Jacksonville and,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The damn points. Stop leaving points on the field. They matter. Now they were able to overcome that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, against Tennessee, but the Ravens couldn't. And so if they just get garden mission to play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you can go two and two in that stretch, two and three, you still within play for Emory Hunt's division winning championship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was getting ready to say this game would look a lot like the Falcons, Texans game. So not only take Houston, but also take the under because Houston's defense and the Saints defense are excellent. Saints offense scored 24 points. Uh, Tyra Matthew had that pick six, um, very early in the game before you even sat down and turned it on. And so the Saints offense is, it's, it's scatter shot. They, what they should do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, and you know, have QB Power had the RPO game in play because that'll help supersede what, what you're not getting from Derek Carr. So I just feel like this game would be a lot like what we just, just watch with the Fox and the Texans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I liked the over as well in this game, more so than anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was three plays that, that stood out to me initially in that Bengals game. One where he had to move out the pocket, jumped over the fender and I was like, oh, he back. That calf is fine. Cause now he started to look like Joe Burrow, right? And then the deep ball, the first one to, uh, uh, Jamar Chase.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And get the good velocity onto where it can reach deep down the field. So yeah, he's, he's looking back, but to your point, you know, that's like going to the gym and working out for the first time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a long time, yeah, you feel great that day. You got the nice body pump and everything. The next day you like, damn, you know what I'm saying? I should have eased into it. I kind of put it on the bar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll see how, how he does, uh, in this game. Uhm, but I like to see how it's coming off of by. They'll, they'll be well rested. Uhm, but Gerald, Gerald Borrow getting, you know, playing at home gets an extra day of treatment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, as opposed to the travel day. So now you get that extra day of treatment. I think we're in for a real hot scoring game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just wanna know where Malik Cunningham at. Like, make me watch this game, New England. You know, he had a nice spark in the preseason. You're clearly not getting what you want from Mac Jones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't like what you've seen from Bailey Zappi, otherwise he would have been in the game already. So why not just throw the young guy out there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And maybe see what you have jumpstart this offense because if you continue to do the same things, the same quarterbacks that you've had under center, it's going, you're going to be talking about Kayla Williams more so than


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anybody else in the draft? Cause this is going to continue to go in the wrong direction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can your offensive line and your quarterback beat pressure? I think we've seen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More from Jared golf in terms of beating pressure because everyone comes in thinking, oh, all we got to do is blitz golf and we should be able to get at least one turnover from him or he'll eat a sack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but he's been fairly solid versus the Blitz and versus pressure. Their offensive line also is, is tailor made to handle that. You know, they have a better offensive line than Tampa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tampa is still a work in progress from an offensive line standpoint, but this game will come down to which.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Team, can you trust to consistently beat pressure? And we've seen Detroit, I mean, getting guys back, dialing things up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, working there tight end is rare to see a rookie tight end have as much success, uh, right out of the gate as Sam Laporta has had. So, I like the lines in this spot. I will take them, uh, you know, what is it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. It was, it was awesome. So I'll leave the points with the Lions here and I like, I like them to be able to control the game if they get a lead because they could run the ball too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause that is not an offense like Mike Rabel. He can catch, like he can be a good J.J.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know man, the Eagles don't catch picks. Like they, they drop a lot of picks. You know what I'm saying? And they like to play in front of you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're coming off a injury plague London game. So expect this game to be a stay healthy game where.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See them get that early. They'll treat this like the second preseason game. Starters going to play about it, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three quarters and then they'll start taking guys out because they're banged up on a defensive line. They're banged up at linebacker. They're banged up in the secondary and offensively.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're gonna, this is the perfect game for them to work on their run game. Right? And so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 17 points should be enough. 17 points should be enough, Bill's saying. Like get to 17 and y'all can Cadillac the rest of the way. Exactly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is fun, I keep you online one day a week. I make sure that you don't get caught up in three week hoopla like everybody else in the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you ever left America? Yeah, I go to the Caribbean all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I just have no desire to, I have no desire to go there. When I go to Europe, I go to Italy. Oh, sure. I wanna go to Greece. I wouldn't mind going to a couple other places, but I don't wanna go to England.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I won't be watching the Toy Story one. You know what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even when I was a kid, I wouldn't have watched the Toy Story one. No, I would have watched the actual game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can tell you this though, I can tell you this though Ryan, Chip ain't watching the Toy Story version of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Am I supposed to, as a 62 year old man who has no children, why in the hell would I know anything about Toy Story?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, you watched Toy Story when I was a kid, I probably would have preferred to watch Saw 1, 2, 3, and 4 to learn how to be a serial killer. I'm kidding, I'm kidding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do know some of those characters, I just never sat down and watched the movies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've driven by Disneyland, I've been to Disney World, and I would never go to Disney World. You've been to Disney World? Yeah, my wife likes it. So like, we go. When we were kids, we went too. My parents took us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually wrote It's a Small World at the New York, at the World's Fair in New York in 1964, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, okay, let me say voluntarily eat an egg, because when I was a kid, I think my mom-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, if it shows up, like, somehow, someway, like, some people put eggs in a potato salad, I might have tasted, like, the rubbery white part of it in a potato salad, but other than that, no. No scrambled eggs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's three games. You guys are just like everybody else in this league. Three games, three games, three games. If I'm not mistaken, didn't the 49ers lose two of their first three last year, if I'm not mistaken?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they rallied. Three games! That's all there is. It's three games. It's three games though. Okay, they scored 70. What if they scored 40? Would you still feel the same way? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the game got out of hand. The Broncos quit. It was a hell of a performance. The Dolphins are playing great football. They're fast as hell. They're fun to watch. Two is the MVP right now. But it's three games! And if you, if they played the Chiefs on a neutral site, who you pickin'?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're the overreaction king of all time, Ryan. I mean, guy go play college quarterback throws for 340 yards in three touchdowns and you put him number one ahead of Caleb Williams. I mean, come on. What? It happens every week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well then, we were talking about how great he was, and he went to San Francisco for the three game, started the three game road trip, played poorly there, played terrible against the Chargers, and then Buffalo wasn't great either. So, when you look at it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he's off to a great start, and he is the MVP right now. I have a vote. If I had a vote right now, I'd give it to Tua.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Love it. The thing about, the biggest surprise about the Miami Dolphins is how well the offensive line is played.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes he was, and he played very well, and Mike McDaniel's a genius when it comes to call and plays. And they have so much speed that it makes it easy to call plays. They scare the daylights out of people, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, when you look at it, yeaah, it's a great start. Watch out this week in Buffalo!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they win this week, and I think Buffalo's defense has improved in large part because Sean McDermott's calling the defenses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've been too vanilla for so many years, and now he saw that, realized, hey look, I gotta get back to my roots a little bit, and they're much more aggressive. They get after, they had nine sacks last week, they get after the quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, they didn't. They played poorly too. But, but, but still, nine saxes, nine saxes. That's impressive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's not just the play calling problem, but the interior of the offensive line is bad right now, particularly the left guard. He's terrible. Ben Bartsch. He's spinning top of all time right now. And, you know, they paid Brandon Sherriff a bunch of money and he's not playing well. And so they're calling plays


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For that reason. In other words, a lot of horizontal stuff, nothing down the field, and Trevor Lawrence is sped up. And when he's sped up, he'll take a little slant pass when he can have a big shot down the field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other thing is Ridley, two drops, one was a touchdown. Uh, here's another thing. Think about this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had receivers jump off sides, false starts, three times, twice by Ridley.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you ever seen that before? They tell receivers, look at the ball. Look inside. And it's amazing to me. So they're sloppy. And I think Doug Peterson called them out this week. He said they're reading their press clippings. Probably what I wrote about them mostly. But uhm, I think when you look at it, that's a problem. And then here's the other thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Texans had four backup offensive linemen starting on Sunday. You know how many sacks Jacksonville had? None!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Zero. Trayvon Walker, the projection isn't working. He should be blown up to another 15, 20 pounds and put his hand on the ground, uh, because he would be a much better player that way. He's not an elite edge rusher and it doesn't help him that Hutchinson is one of the league leaders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he, when he says that, he's calling them out for that exact reason. Here's the other thing, one last thing about the offense. The Texans played zone the entire time. Those receivers ran into those, into the man every single time instead of sitting down in the zone. That creates problems. And so that tells me they're not putting the work in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they also lost Jim Bob Cooter. Remember he left and Jim Bob Cooter was the passing game coordinator and, and Jim Bob Cooter is supposedly a really good coach. So, um, I think that's hurt them as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's in a bunch of different reasons, but it's not very good right now. But, having said all that, they play in a garbage division, so you get hot at the right time. You're going to win the division and it'll be a playoff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you see, did you see the kickoff, the kickoff return by the fullback? I mean, how the hell, how the hell does that happen? I mean, first off, why are you mortar kicking it? And that's the first problem. Kick it out of the damn end zone and give him the ball to 25. I watched that play on tape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There wasn't a Jaguar player across the 30 by the time he was fielding it at the 10.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, Breach, you know, when you watch the tape, usually you want to try and pin them in, you put it up high and you try and pin them in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I watched it. If he had fielded it cleanly, it was on the 10. There wasn't a Jacksonville player across the 30 when he was fielding it. So let's just say, for the sake of the argument, they met at the 20 and he ended up at the 22. For the sake of three yards, you're risking that? Just kick the damn ball out of the end zone. It made no sense. But there were a lot of stupid coaching decisions this week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They haven't won in London in three, what, three, three, last three games there. So it's been, I think, 2019, because they didn't play in 20 during the COVID year, but I think, so it's 3, 19, haven't won there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't mean, it just depends on what happens in front of them, but they'll move up a little bit, but then the next week they get Buffalo. But in London...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean that, well it's in, yea it's in London, not, it's, it's at the Tottenspur or whatever that is. Tottenham.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean they, uh, they're moving resorts. Can you believe that? They're staying in a resort, practicing at it, then after the game on Sunday, they're moving to another resort.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yeaah, I think, uh, I think that's going to be a tough game for them. And then the next week, that's a big break for them, by the way. You get Buffalo in there, rather than playing them up at their home place. So that's a home game for Buffalo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now CJ Stroud is the best rookie quarterback. There's no doubt about that. Uh, he's actually looks like a polished passer. Impressive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and here's what they do. They play tough and fast and violently. I want to give a shout out to Jimmy Ward. I love Jimmy Ward when he came into the league. He was the captain of my better than team. You put the tape on last week against Jacksonville. He's flying all over the field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Jimmy Ward's a good football player and they don't have a ton of talent, but you can see, and a lot of it was hurt, you know, they didn't have Stingley and Petrie and Tavir Thomas. I mean, they didn't have the three guys in the secondary, but you could see they play hard and D'Amico Ryan's has that team moving in the right direction. They're loaded with draft picks. They have their quarterback. Uh, they're moving in the right direction. I like where they're headed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Terry Dale, who I love, by the way, and Rick Spielman and yourself, you didn't really like him that much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yeaah, I mean I think CJ Stroud, I'll be the first one to sit here and say he looks ten times better than I expected him to look this early in this season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think that if the offensive line doesn't get back a couple guys, then I think that's going to be a problem against that pass rush. I think they'll overwhelm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Stroud had a scramble the other day for 15 yards, I think, which surprised me, but, but uhm, yeaah, that might be a problem for him this week. This might be the week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That a good defense, a dominant defense gets after him and he looks like a rookie quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you, are you not as high on him now that you've seen him play in the NFL as you were before?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I give them credit. They dominated that game the other day. They pushed the Cowboys around. They ran the ball. I mean, would they run for over 200 yards? Hey, when Kyle Bird comes back, do they want to keep Josh Dobbs in the lineup?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, you don't, but, but he's played well. I mean, he's done a good job of running that thing. Let me ask you this. There's another team that plays, they got a bunch of guys that nobody knows, like Dennis Gardeck, and they play hard, tough, and physical, and they get after it. Nasty!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, you gotta play him. You gotta play Kyle Emery. You gotta find out, at least the rest of the year, what he is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. You played Murray. Oh gosh. Come on, Pete. You played Murray!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If, if, you gotta find out what you have in Kyle Marie. What if Kyle Marie comes back and he's actually a better player and, you know, he's becoming a better player?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, they're probably not going to have the first pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry, I'm not drafting Marvin Harrison if I have all those others. Their defense is awful. You had to fight a defensive player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I didn't say he would win MVP. I thought he would be better. But it doesn't help that they have the worst, one of the worst staffs ever, the way they use the guy. They don't even use him like he should be used. And here's another thing. They never let him throw to the middle of the field. That means they don't, A, they don't even have plays designed in there, or they don't trust him at all, because everything is to the sideline.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It really is. It's a bet. So, okay, who's making those decisions? Is, is, is polls making those decisions? Are they firing the head coach? Are they getting rid of the offensive coordinator? Are they getting rid of Justin Fields? I mean, there's a lot of decisions to be made. There's still a lot of football to be played, but it doesn't look good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's a big hot pile of doo-doo right now. That's what it is. I mean, Jacksonville beat them in week one and scored 31 points. They haven't scored on anybody since. So, uh, I mean, I worry about the Colts defensively a little bit. I still think there's a problem there, although Lamar Jackson made them look really good throwing the football last week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think, you know, what are they gonna do when Richardson's back? Are they better offense when he plays? I think they are, but people love Gardner Minshew. I don't know why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Minshew's perfect when he comes in and plays a couple games here and there. That's it. That's all he is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, look, that's, when you get thrown in there, Minchu's gonna be good getting thrown in there. It's when people prepare for him that he has the problem. No, you don't play Minchu. Stop it!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't hate Garter Mitchell. I just don't think he's very good. I think he's a backup quarterback. Every time, every single time he plays a game, everybody goes, oh, he should be starting. No, he shouldn't. And by the way, if I'm not mistaken, did he have like nine straight losses before as a starter, before he played the other day?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Anthony Richards is ready to play this week, he plays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, if he comes back, you play him. He's the, he's a better back than Zach Moss, but again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's like before the season. Miami needs to go get Dalvin Cook. Oh my gosh, what are they going to do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that would have been the dumbest thing ever. I agree with that part. You drafted the kid from A&M, however he changes the pronunciation of his name every week. What is it? It's A-Chan now, isn't it? A-Chan, A-Chan, A-Chan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The runamucks are everywhere. Okay, here's another one. The Lions use a top 10 pick on Gibbs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Run to 10 or was it? He was 12. He was 12. Was he any better off keeping the Andre Swift?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love, I love talking football with Rick, but two things about him that he won't do. He won't pick little guys and he won't, uh, pick guys that have little bit of an edge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well we'll see. We don't know. We don't know what that injury was either, so we'll see. But I'm with you. If he's healthy, he plays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, yeah, I guess the Panthers. Is Bryce Young playing or not? If Bryce Young's playing, they're the worst team. If Andy Dalton's playing or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I watch it every week. You're just, you're never gonna give up. You're never gonna stop defending the kid. You're like, Rick, Rick Spielman gets paid to defend him. You don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you look at the Vikings and you look at what happened to them last week, it was vintage. That game was vintage from so many different standpoints. First you had stupidity by Staley. What a moron.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I don't care what the analytics say. You punt the damn ball. They've scored three touchdowns the entire game. That was stupidity. But of course Josh McDaniel's out, out, it was mean and dumb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, then you have, but maybe they knew in the back of their mind, maybe Staley knew that Kirk Cousins was gonna somehow become Kirk Cousins again at the end of the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But one last thing, because I do have to go in a second, but if you were the head coach of the Chargers, and your job, because his job was probably on the line, would you go for a fourth and one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no best bets here. I am interested in Calvin Ripley here. Obviously the revenge game narrative. No Zay Jones in the lineup either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that should funnel some additional targets to him. Uh, we've also seen Christian Kirk have a larger target share the previous two weeks. I think things kind of balance out a little bit more here, uh, in Calvin Ripley's favor. He's someone I've got my eye on, kind of just waiting to see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bijan again, I think the Falcons are going to get back to their bread and butter running the football. I think Bijan didn't get nearly enough touches last week resulting in that loss. So I expect him to be a more focal point of their game plan again. So he's got my eye on as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Receiving yards, uh, game with the highest projected total of the week. I talk about this a lot. Looking to invest in cheap pieces in this game. Gabriel Davis has 100% route participation. Runs a route on every single Josh Allen drop back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so yeah, Miami's defense has also given up a lot of big plays down the field. Love Gabe Davis in this spot over 42 and a half receiving yards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, love rookie wide receiver Tank Dell. Just been super encouraged by his play. Uh, it's going to be a rough day for Patrick Peterson if he's going to have to chase Tank Dell around or Nico Collins for that matter. But uh, yeah, both of those young receivers look excellent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Front has been very good defensively, uh, been very good against the run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very, very, very impressive. He has certainly earned playing time, even if or when Jonathan Taylor returns to this lineup. Zach Moss has quietly been one of the most efficient running backs in the NFL over the last two weeks. So yeah, he's got a very good matchup against a, uh, underwhelming Rams front as well. So two backs, different, uh, takes on both of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, sure. It's Jordan Addison, over 39 and a half receiving yards. He is a must bet in my opinion under 40 yards here. Obviously his target share route participation continued to grow each week. Finally became a full time player last week, played over 85% of the snaps, had really high route participation as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Love this spot for Addison. He's drawing a ton of targets deep down the field. Uh, that checks all the boxes for a potential spike week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously it benefits from a lot of the attention that Justin Jefferson commands. Most double team player in the NFL right now for good reason. I think Addison's just going to continue to have a very big year as his world grows in this offense. Love him, especially betting him under 40 yards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeah, just, er, excuse me, Jordan Addison over 39 and a half receiving yards. Very good bet in my opinion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I do. I'm, I'm, uh, R.J. mentioned the injuries in, uh, Chicago's secondary. Love this spot for Jerry, Jerry Judy, over 52 and a half receiving yards. Looks to be over that early hamstring injury causing a miss week one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Metrics, particularly their past defense has been absolutely atrocious. So I think this is a good spot for Jerry Judy, only needing 53 and a half yards, having the deepest a-dot on the team, really not seeing a lot from Cortland Sutton. Uh, for whatever reason, Sean Payton is just unwilling to play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mims gets more playing time, so I'm gonna roll with Jerry Judy over 52 and a half receiving yards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe he doesn't like the way he run blocks or yeaah, something seeing in practice that obviously isn't translating to when he plays because anytime he's on the field, he is just a threat to take it to the house. Anytime he touches the ball, it doesn't make any sense why he's not playing at least 50% of the snaps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, very impressive. Miles Gare looks to be one of the front runners for Defensive Player of the Year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Inefficient so far. 1.14 yards per outrun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meanwhile, I think there's other viable pass catchers who really just haven't had many targets in David Najoku, Donovan Peoples Jones, Jerome Ford can catch passes out of the backfield as well. So I just think the Browns have reached the point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where he has had the same target shares of Mario Cooper. I just don't think that's sustainable considering how ineffective he has been. I think this matchup is a little better than it looks on paper too with the Ravens getting healthier in the secondary. So yeah, I think it's a good spot to fade Elijah Moore under 42 and a half receiving yards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do, yeaah, quite a bit just for the reasons you laid out. Biggest pass funnel in the league. Have had just given up more production to opposing wide receivers than any defense. Jamar Chase coming off those two duds. I feel like this number is like five to seven yards lower than it should be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very poor. RJ mentioned the offensive line might be the worst run blocking unit in the league, but even with despite that, he's not looked good. So it could be, uh, yeah, it could be sell time for Derek Henry if he does not have a good performance here. I'm really curious to see how he looks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't have a best bet from this game yet, but I was looking at season win totals before we came on the stream and I was shocked to see that the Raiders are six and a half plus money if you fade them, plus 125 to go under seven wins for this Raiders team. I personally think that's such a good bet. I have a very hard time seeing this roster win seven games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two opposing tight ends. I definitely think he gets some red zone targets. Obviously a favorite target of Purdy once they get down there. So definitely like his anytime touchdown look. Wouldn't surprise me if he gets two here. I'd love to go for those long shots. I'll probably sprinkle a little bit on two anytime touchdowns as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last week he was the second highest graded rookie wide receiver according to PFF. His role is going to continue to grow. Mahomes still doesn't have a viable real second option behind Travis Kelsey. Uh, Reishi has really flashed when he's been on the field. I expect him to have that sort of, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One B job to Travis Kelsey and especially his snap count and target share to continue to grow as the season progresses. I'd like him to get on the field more this week as well, but definitely more of a long term thing. But I love Raishi Rice. I think he makes a big impact in the second half of the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I just think his ceiling is capped, Elijah Moore. I don't think he really has, like, uh, even though the target, the target chair has been really big, I just don't, I don't see him having, uh, the same upside that Rice does if Rice ends up becoming a full-time player in the offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And let's go Gabriel Davis over 42 and a half receiving yards. Jordan Addison over 39 and a half receiving yards. Elijah Moore under 42 and a half receiving yards and Jerry Judy over 53 and a half receiving yards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It tells me that Mike McDaniel taught a master class in Foxboro, man. He out coached.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The old sly fox, Bill Belichick. It was, and he did this last week. Mike McDaniel is this next level coach that maybe we're not fully appreciating because we're all thinking about the two injuries and the Dolphins Collapse last year, which I don't think you can completely put on McDaniel because of the two injury.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, as Wilson said, he's been the best player in the NFL through two weeks and FanDuel obviously agrees with him. But here's the thing, if you would have gone into this game and you told someone that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You told a Patriots fan that Jaylen Waddle was gonna finish with under 90 yards. Tyreek Hill wasn't even gonna have 45 yards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so your top two receivers are almost shut down. They would have been thrilled and probably assumed they were going to win, but what's Miami doing? They're like, you know what? We'll just give the rock to Raheem Mostert and we'll see what happens. And it's just another weapon. They're just weapons everywhere. They're just the AFC's version of the 49ers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, my bold prediction was that they would finish with a nine and eight record and Harry said 12 and five. So it's not a huge difference that they would finish in last place. Three games is a pretty big difference. I was sold after last week. I was, my mind already changed. I'm on the Dolphins bandwagon. I'm team Harry hashtag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I already said it, I picked the Dolphins to finish in last place before the season started.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll just say real quick, you mentioned Tom Brady's name because it's funny. The one issue the Patriots have is that the offense hasn't been able to come up with that clutch final drive. They had the ball with the chance to tie or win in each of their first two games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Didn't do it. Maybe, uh, you need to add some playmakers. It just seems like, you know, Mack Jones is playing well. Defense is fine. Offense just needs to figure out who those clutch guys are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You swallowed a lot of protein though. It's a lot of protein. So I'm, I'm in a good shape. It's not, uh, wait, what was the question here? Wilson? What was the question? You were choking harder than any dogs at the playoffs, dude. Uh, I was waiting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, two straight games that you probably should have won. They probably should have beaten the Dolphins in week one. They probably should have beaten the Titans in week two. And it's not even necessarily the defense that gives me the biggest issues here. It's that like, Brayden Steele is having an identity crisis. This guy, his first year, it was the most aggressive coach going forward on fourth down all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a point in this game, I think it was early in the second quarter, the Chargers had a fourth and one of the 44 from the 44 yard line. And I'm like, surely


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brandon Staley will go for this. And nope, the punt team comes out and I'm just like, are you serious? You're putting Brandon Staley, the guy who used to go for it, who went from fourth and three from your own 20 with a playoff spot on the line against the Raiders a couple of years ago, you're going for your putting a fourth and one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I kind of was going down this road last week after the Chargers Dolphins game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the Chargers offense, uh, had the chance to drive down and all they need in that game was a field goal and they couldn't do that. They promptly went, I think, five plays, turned the ball over, game over. So it was like, the Dolphins defense is good. Maybe this was fluky. It's the first game. Who knows?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Same situation this week in overtime. The Chargers get the ball first. All you have to do is drive down, get a touchdown, you win, at least get a field goal, do something. What do you do? You promptly go three and out. So I do think there's something to be said for


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These clutch situations, and I know we, you know, people rank quarterbacks as far as arm strength, accuracy, and Justin Herbert has all the tools you want in a quarterback. He is a very good quarterback, but if you asked me


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who I had to choose as my quarterback for a game winning drive in the fourth quarter with my team down six points. I don't know that Justin Herbert is in the top seven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that also goes to Wilson's point about is, is the culprit Staley who apparently has no idea how to run his defense or Herbert not being clutch. I would definitely lean more towards Staley.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joe Burrow has a career record of one in seven in the first two weeks of the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doesn't play in the preseason. They lose. That's it. I mean, and the story that Erwin two last year, as you mentioned, one in seven is not great as we all know, but they rebound every year and they're always fine. We saw it last year, obviously getting the playoffs. Wilson already mentioned the stat though. No team has ever started O and two, two seasons in a row and made the playoffs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In both seasons. So obviously that is a little concerning. So as far as that goes, it's like, eh, you know, Joe Burrows spends the first two weeks knocking the rust off. That's just what he does. He wasn't good at all until the fourth quarter of week two last season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so on that sense, it's like, eh, I'm not concerned. That being said, I am actually way more concerned than I was last week when I was a negative three. I wasn't even on the chart yet. Right now, I'm a five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is mid level, but I went up eight points. So that's a lot of going up in concern. Number one, it's not just that they're 0 and 2, it's that they lost the two division rivals. They lost two division games. So that's more concerning than it was last year when they only lost one division game. Uh, number two, it looks like Joe Burrow possibly


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Had he been benched, uh, or not started because they were gonna let him heal. But now this is the thing that's going to linger. Cap injuries don't heal if you're playing on them. And if he's playing, then it's just gonna be bothering him all season. And then you look at what else is happening with Joe Burrow. This is from our research team. It is a great stat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joe Burrow is 0 of 12 this season on passes that travel 15 or more yards in the air. He is the only quarterback who has started two games, uh, who has zero completions with, uh, 15 air yards. So he can't throw the ball downfield right now, which is also a concern. Maybe he's trying to get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Triple more concerned if they get smoked in week three. Uh, but right now it's, I'm a five. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I mean, I don't know if they have to go three and one. They're in a bad way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You want to be, you want to win in week three. You don't want to drop to 0-3. That's all I'd be concerned about if...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, that was an interception. You don't usually see Joe Burrow throw where he just either lost sight of the defender or got fooled. And either one of those is not ideal. Uh, usually his interceptions because he's chucking it downfield trying to make a play and then the corner makes a good play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a man-to-man situation and that just wasn't what happened here. I mean, Burrow thought he had someone wide open.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today, you know, you had Joe burrow obviously throwing that interception down inside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Real quick, someone asked, uh, Joe Burrows stats last year versus this year. Last year, first two games, he threw for 537 yards, three touchdowns, four interceptions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This year only 304 yards, two touchdowns, one interception. Uh, the only positive change is that he's only been sacked three times through two weeks. Last year he got sacked 13 times through two weeks. So the offensive line's doing their end. That's, that's the worst part is that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I think I feel better abou- I was never worried about the Chiefs. It was just, it felt like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but yeaah, I mean, there's a little concern with the Chiefs cause their offense still is not, uh, just moving all cylinders like it did the past few years, and yet Patrick Mahones threw for over 300 yards, but it was not a pretty 300 yards. Uh, so, I mean, like, I'm a little...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not worried. And, and the Bills too, like Josh Allen, all I wanted to see was if Josh Allen gets through this game without throwing interception.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, and the bills win, then it's all over. Last year, last week was just overreacting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, that's what he's going to do. I think that they probably sat him down and said, hey, don't make any dumb turnovers and we're going to win because we're much more talented than most teams we play. He didn't make any dumb turnovers. They won 38 to 10 and that's going to be, they're just going to point to this film the whole year. Like, look,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You played within the confines of the offense. We won 38 to 10. You went 13 for 13 on your first 13 passes. You completed 13 in a row, which you probably had never done in your life before that. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think Josh Allen looks good and we're not going to see, he will not have another four turnover game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm literally opening up every door in the house. I don't care how old the door is, I don't care what it looks like. The Jets built a team that is a Super Bowl contender this year, if they have the right quarterback. They are not a Super Bowl contender with Zach Wilson, so it's one of those things where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You figure out if you can upgrade. Look, we saw the news on Sunday morning. The Tom Brady ownership hasn't been approved yet. I call Tom Brady and I say, dude, bro, just tell me what you want. Woody Johnson will give you a blank check and you can make it out to TV 12. You can give it to Alex Guerrero. He can't do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's my favorite stat from this game. Sean Payton is the first head coach since 1933.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And eh, I mean this situation is just so weird because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very weird call, uh, I mean, ended up not mattering cause...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Joey Sly missed a field goal on that following possession.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it was just, I mean, it was like Brenton said, like, Wilson showed flashes, but then he also showed flashes of being last year's Russell Wilson, so it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who do you get? And obviously there was the Hail Mary and that was one of the craziest plays and I still can't believe that they did not throw a passive interference flag on the two point conversion. Imagine having all that drama of a Hail Mary and not throwing the flag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright. They share, but if I had to pick right now based on what I've seen after two weeks,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the 49ers is probably the best team in the NFC and I'd put the Cowboys in the second spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the Eagles in the third spot. The Cowboys defense has just been so dominating that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their offense almost doesn't have to show up. The defense just wins the games on its own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, through two weeks of what I've seen with my own two eyes, I am going Cowboys 1, 49ers 2, Eagles 3.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, if this was just overall last Tuesday-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, let me finish my statement please. Uh, yes, through these two weeks of the 2023 season, I think Brock Purdy


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One fact real quick, uh, the, the uh, Cowboys are just the fifth team in 57 years to score at least seven points and give up ten or fewer points through the first two weeks of the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think one thing we mentioned last week after they lost was the fact that Justin Fields probably just needs a fresh start. I don't, he might be a bust. He might not be, he is not going to be successful in Chicago with this coaching staff. I mean, that's just what it feels like you look at his first three years and I don't know why everyone, I think I had the Bears winning four games and finishing in last place and why everyone


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have two years of, you know, of proof of what Justin Fields has done. He's never got to play with a very talented roster, so that's definitely part of it. But look, it's a guy who threw 10 interceptions in 10 games his rookie year, which fine, it's your rookie year, throw 11 interceptions in 15 games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, last year, but he, he runs the ball well, but they're even trying to take that away from him and make him more of a passer. And we're two weeks in the season. He's already thrown two pick sixes. He's thrown a pick six each week. That's literally the last thing you ever want to do as a quarterback. So I don't think if you're the Bears, you either need a new head coach or a new quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next season and whatever the front office, whatever way you go, uh, I don't care. Just, I don't think that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, it's the coaching staff. Like if you put a new quarterback on this coach with the same exact coaching staff, they're still...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the bears have existed for a hundred. So it's just bonkers to think about how bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just the bears are at throwing the ball. It doesn't seem possible. It's a lot of averages would eventually go in their favor. It has not. So I don't know. Maybe just tear it down and start over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You say, Hey, you know what? We're going to build a new stadium and let's just have a brand new team. Let's retire the bears.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, but you see it with athletic, I mean, like we saw RG3 running around get injured. It's just one of those things is it's just, it's, it, and I feel like it's with rookies period.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, especially at quarterback where you're just kind of trying to be Superman and you're not worried about sliding because you think you're invincible and you can take hits. And you get hit a couple times, you're like, oh yeah, these guys are, uh, 10 times stronger and bigger than what I dealt with in college and I should probably start sliding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anthony, you have to slip or you are going to be in this NFL for 5 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's just about like going out of bounds instead of getting one extra yard and taking a hit or sliding instead of getting one extra. If you're going for a first down, that's one thing, but in the grand scheme of things, you would rather go down or go out of bounds than take, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was just gonna say, it blows my mind that the Arizona Cardinals, who we, everyone seemed to agree was the worst team in football, could be 2-1-0.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, they literally led Washington in the fourth quarter last week and they absolutely blew this game. So it's hard to like, I don't, you know, like the Giants won this game, which is great for them because they would have been the laughing stock of the NFL if they lost to Arizona. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is the offensive problem, is the offensive problem? It just seems like the problems are compounding in New York and they play San Francisco, I think, in Week 3. It's just, I have no idea how they could possibly match up with them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For Brits, what you're saying is that they're a victim of their own success. That they were so good last year, too good too soon, and the expectations shot through the roof, and there's no way they can live up to those.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, my Breach VP, I'm guessing that means they played well?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, that means that they, they killed the most cats. It is the Atlanta Falcons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just hoping that I didn't lock the phone and the video, you know, actually went through. So looking forward to, uh, looking forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's very hurtful, but I know the NFL is going to find me for it, but it's worth it though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, there you go, Mike McCarthy, yea, he's, I just think he's on the hot seat cause Jerry Jones is, I think he's just getting itchy. He may want to get Kellen Moore, Kellen Moore back from Los Angeles after they reshuffle there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, coaching staff this off season, I just think he really loves his homegrown guy. So he's going to want to get rid of, you know, McCarthy as soon as possible and get his own guy in there. I think it's going to be Kellen Moore. I think he really loves the offense that Kellen Moore brought to the team the past couple of years, and he's going to go after him this season when Brian, when Brandon Staley is gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually had Sean Payton number 6. It took me a while to figure out somebody to put at number 5. I just put Sean Payton at number 6 just cause wouldn't it be funny that the Waltons gave him like, what it is, whatever it is, 20 million dollars a year and then they fire him after a year. And then I also didn't put Rob, or Ron Rivera on my list just cause I think he's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His hot seat is only because of the ownership change, so that's why I think he's gonna be going anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's been all Derek Henry and we see that now that Derek Henry is starting to slip that he can't do anything with the defense or the offense. I know it's they've had a lot of injuries and stuff. I just think that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's, he's all talk and less substance. So I just, I don't know. I just, I've never been a big fan of Mike Frabel as a head coach. I thought it was weird the way he got the job from Mike Malarkey after going to the playoffs and Malarkey just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just to try and, maybe they're trying to tank without actually tanking, they're trying to out card all the carders or something. Just so they can get the number one and number two pick. But it just seems like he doesn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, they brought him in for defense. He hasn't done any of the defense of anything. It's gotten worse since he's been there. The offense hasn't gotten any better. So I just think that he.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, he's a, yeaah, obviously Mark Davis is cheap, we know that, he gets his hair cut at the haircutter, he likes to eat, you know, at P.F. Chang, get those lettuce wraps and all that kind of stuff, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I just think that McDaniel, he's one of these guys, he's, he's got like the Rex Ryan syndrome where he's a great coordinator.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, in this case offense coordinator, Rex Ryan was a great defense coordinator, but he's not a good offense coordinator or not a good


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Been a detriment for him in Denver. It's been a detriment for him now in Las Vegas. And I just think it's going to keep him from ever getting another head coaching job. He'll probably either go back to the Patriots after this year of all sense of coordinator or he'll go somewhere else and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, in San Diego, Los Angeles, and I just think that he, again, he's, he's overmatched. He totally reversed himself after being too aggressive in year one. He just went the total opposite and he needed to, yes, he may need to cut it back 50%, but he cut it back a thousand percent. It did him no good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What he's doing on defense and on offense there is really hurting the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, obviously he seems to be working pretty good with Justin Herbert. Maybe they'll raise him up to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talk, you know, pretty regularly, a couple times a week, so he's, he's doing great, you know. Thank you, Doug.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brenton will be sending you a welcome kit, but he doesn't actually ever mail anything so you won't ever get it. But you can understand, you know what's in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you sold that for me? Got it. By the way, the odds are plus 500 right now. All right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright. Wilson, I would say something like Cade York would throw 55 touchdowns and kick two field goals. And then when he kicks the two field goals, I would say my prediction is half right and that I beat everyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, and real quick, I mean, Wilson's out here saying, hey, these need to be bold predictions and not crazy, and also in the same breath says Kenny Pickett's gonna be the second best quarterback in the division, uh, which seems a little crazy, so I like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of like the boldness there, but I'm gonna dock you a point for being too crazy. The T.J. Watt winning Defensive Player of the Year, I think he has the third best odds. So it's not like super bold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's got a chip on his shoulder! He's got a chip on his shoulder! But the Steelers winning division is absolutely bold, and I also think it's somewhat realistic, which is coming from a Bengals homer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I am going to give you a 7.8. Nice. Suck it, Brinson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I gave myself, I gave Wilson the best grade possible. I did not even consider your grades. Yea, right pal. I didn't even listen to what you said to be honest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not completely crazy. If you would have said the Cardinals, that would have been off the rails crazy. So he's still on the rails. I will give him that. Uh, but this definitely treads a lot more toward crazy than bold. Uh, I'm, I don't even know what to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't believe Wrenson did this. I'm gonna give it a 6.8.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Six, six, eight, which is also my height, by the way, in case you guys wondered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, here before that was Patrick Mahomes, 2019 was Lamar Jackson, 2018 was Drew Brees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The third tier is how much you like the other person. We also factor that in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, now I will in Brinton's defense, and this was the only thing that almost made me raise the grade, is I went back and looked at a few of our bold predictions from last year, and I don't remember what they all were.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I do remember that one of Brinton's craziest predictions that we almost had to talk off the ledge was Jacksonville winning the AFC South and Wilson and I laughed at him and then Jacksonville won AFC South.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not very often. Rarely. Well, they're both. No, I would say we've, we've hit, I don't think we've ever had a preseason bold prediction show where we whiffed on all our bold predictions. Well, this one's minor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's next? But they're bold. You're not supposed to, if you have a high hit rate, then they're not bold enough. That's the problem. So it's kind of cancel each other out. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. I already know that Brinton is gonna give me a lower grade than I gave him. I also know that. Okay, so my pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's rain. Rain Dakota. That's my homework, Wilson. Don't confuse me. Okay, go ahead, Dak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dak Prescott wins MVP. He is plus 2500 odds. My play here is that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we don't know about the running situations. Obviously Tony Pollard's in there, but he's coming off a huge injury and he actually, Dak actually has two good receivers. It's not just CD Lamb carrying the entire team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have Brandon Cooks in there now. I think Dak could have a career year and you're in Dallas. If he can get them to 13 wins and top the 12 wins in the past two seasons, he is going to be an MVP conversation and plus 2500 makes him a kind of a long shot. So I think it makes it bold. I'm taking Dak to win MVP.

[Assistant] And real quick on Daxel, it's weird how that's come along because he's played in every game in five of his seven seasons. It's just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no reason, I remember a few years ago when everybody thought the Bears, they finished in last place, the last time in the playoffs, the double doink year was worse the first year where, you know, the Bears were rubbing it on Twitter that everyone finished.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Predict them to finish in last place. They finish in first place. And this kinda has like a similar vibe with the team. They're just flying under the radar in a wide open division. So I'm gonna give Katie, uh, a 9.25.

[Assistant] I am so sure Musso's prediction won't happen. I will wear a Sam Howell jersey on this podcast every day next year that I'm on if the commanders win the Super Bowl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know what? I don't hate it. I'm gonna give Musou, uh, 7.9 here because we got the 49ers in the Super Bowl. We don't know the Brock party can stay healthy and obviously Sam Donald's there as the backup. So I don't think this is as crazy as it sounds. So when I say 7.9, let's go just make it an 8 even. We'll go 8.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what? I'm just going to come out and say it. We laughed at Brenton's Jacksonville take last year. I'm not laughing again this year. I'm giving it a 9.3.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I agree with you the last time you asked me that. Just this time, I just, I, I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brenton clearly is a clairvoyant when it comes to Jack's meal predictions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I mean, Princeton just gave you a 9.45 for the Rogers prediction. You can't get rid of that. Princeton's giving you a 9.45 and you can't get rid of Jefferson because I'm giving you a 9.5. Look, it's bold because no one's ever hit 2,000 yards in NFL history. So if Jefferson does it, whether he's the best receiver or not, doesn't matter because no one's ever done it. So I'm going to give that 9.5. Now we're talking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright guys, I was looking for the odds of this, I couldn't find it, but uh, Let me just bold. I hope, well I didn't know where to look, that's the problem. But my bold prediction here is that the Mummy Dolphins finish in last place in the AMC East.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just think that maybe the Patriots could be a little bit better than we think and maybe the Dolphins are a game or two worse than we think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's exactly 15. Uh, and Brinson said 9.8. I'm gonna go 9.8 too. The Chiefs have never won 15 games in franchise history, so that's the boldness part. People think, hey, it's Patrick Mahomes. Well, guess what? They've won 14 games with Mahomes. They've never won 15, but it does seem somewhat plausible cause it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you. Uh, Wilson, this might be my favorite prediction on this entire show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's it. There aren't any other quarterbacks have been sacked more than 55 times. But CJ Stroud, you run around, you get sacked. Uh, you're indecisive. You get sacked. Rookies are indecisive. Uh, I just think-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. It comes with five spots this year. So somebody could put Stafford fifth on one ballot and then Brinson wins his bold prediction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Cooper Cup now probably missing the first week or two of the season. Yeah, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I, I, look, Brenton using my strategy of giving himself a lot of outs, I have to respect it, so I can't give him below a seven. Uh, so I'm gonna give Brenton- Wait, why?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, he's, he's, the five vote thing is very breechy. There are 50 voters and so they're going to be 250 slots because they can all put five names and only one of those 250 slots has to have Matthew Stafford's name in this poll prediction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not even sure which one is more bold. I feel like the Taylor prediction is more bold because it feels like he's going to miss for, he's obviously out the first four games because he's on the pup list. And then you have the Colts saying, all right, we have four weeks to figure out what you want to do with Jonathan Taylor. If he gets traded, then he's going to play with this new team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's like, are the cults gonna, is this gonna be full Jim Ursay? Your fate lies with Jim Ursay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. So Wilson might have this in his notes. Cam Newton obviously holds the record for most passing yards in your first career start. Do you guys know who is second on that list? Joe Burrow? No. We don't talk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, in the last game of the year, they would have won the division, uh, except their quarterback who'd only been on the roster for 10 days fumbled the ball and Jacksonville returned it for a touchdown. So they almost won the division with a quarterback who was on the roster for 10 days. Uh, assuming you have Ryan Tannehill healthy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, and I like Trelin Burks as a number two receiver, which obviously he'll be behind Hopkins more than I like him as a number one receiver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] ESPN, Brenton. Catch up on your stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, she should be coaching like the Cleveland Browns or move the Titans up there and, and put a party team in Nashville. Is that what you're saying, Wilson? You want to put the Chiefs in Nashville? Exactly. That's what I'm trying to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I was going to give Katie a 9.3, but I'm going to bump it up to a 10 because I remember she gave Brinton a 5. Uh, and that's, that's plastic, plastic move. You fit in right away when you're doing that stuff. So Katie gets a 10.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got a, I've got a, um, my best pets article up on, uh, cbsports.com came out Thursday morning. No Thursday night football bet, but you can check it out. I think five or six of them. And if you're a Taylor Swift fan.
