00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Good evening everyone, Look at Borusky.

6
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:45.119
<v Speaker 1>What's going on? Well, I gotta welcome my awesome panel.

<v Speaker 1>I have mister Smear and mister Taylor. Welcome guys as

00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:58.840
<v Speaker 1>you as always. So we're gonna start out with the

9
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:03.119
<v Speaker 1>title says it, all All Star Game Recap. Candy, my

10
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:07.640
<v Speaker 1>panel doesn't seem fired up. Uh oh, well, give it time,

11
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:11.799
<v Speaker 1>give it time, Give it time, Cyboriski. So All Star

12
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Game Recap for all of you that either didn't watch

13
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:18.959
<v Speaker 1>it or don't know. It actually kind of ended in

14
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.280
<v Speaker 1>a tie and it had the first swing off to

15
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:28.920
<v Speaker 1>determine the winner. It averaged seven million, one and eighty

16
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:33.760
<v Speaker 1>five thousand viewers Tuesday night on Fox. It was Fox's

17
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>most watched telecast since the Super Bowl and the network's

18
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>best audience for a Tuesday night since last year's Game

19
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:47.599
<v Speaker 1>four of the World Series. However, it was a three

20
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:51.079
<v Speaker 1>point five percent decrease from the twenty twenty four game

21
00:01:51.799 --> 00:02:00.400
<v Speaker 1>and the second lowest for the Midsummer Classic. So your

22
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:04.519
<v Speaker 1>thoughts on the All Star Game? What you thought of it,

23
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.599
<v Speaker 1>what you thought of the swing off? Because I'll be

24
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:11.840
<v Speaker 1>honest with you, it's kind of an I have to say.

25
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:14.879
<v Speaker 1>I was actually part of history, because I am. I

26
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:17.759
<v Speaker 1>was in attendance for the only game that actually did

27
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:20.599
<v Speaker 1>completely end in a tie where they didn't have the

28
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:23.879
<v Speaker 1>swing off, and that was back in Milwaukee years ago

29
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:26.919
<v Speaker 1>when they actually ran out of pictures and that's why

30
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:30.479
<v Speaker 1>it actually ended in a tie. But so I'm here

31
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:33.039
<v Speaker 1>start with. I mean, it was in your backyard. Tell

32
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:35.840
<v Speaker 1>us about did you go to any of the events.

33
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:37.240
<v Speaker 1>What did you think of it?

34
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I actually did. I was. I spent a lot

35
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:45.120
<v Speaker 2>of my day on Sunday in All Star Village. I

36
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:50.879
<v Speaker 2>thought it was pretty neat. Terry Pendleton was there signing autographs.

37
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:55.039
<v Speaker 2>Unfortunately I was not able to get a reservation in

38
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:57.360
<v Speaker 2>time to meet him. He's pretty popular within the Braves

39
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:01.919
<v Speaker 2>fan base, so as you would expect him, reservations for

40
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:04.759
<v Speaker 2>that filled up pretty quickly. I was at the home

41
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:09.800
<v Speaker 2>run derby on Monday night, which was pretty cool. I

42
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:11.800
<v Speaker 2>was really looking forward to seeing Ronald did it, but

43
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:17.039
<v Speaker 2>unfortunately he wasn't able to participate. But it was cool

44
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:21.120
<v Speaker 2>seeing Matt Olson there kind of got off to a

45
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:24.680
<v Speaker 2>slow start, went on a little here towards the end,

46
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:26.960
<v Speaker 2>but just a couple of home runs short of moving on.

47
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:33.280
<v Speaker 2>I thought, going in, I thought O'Neill Cruise is going

48
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:36.919
<v Speaker 2>to win it, but that didn't happen. Cal Raley won.

49
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:42.080
<v Speaker 2>It was still pretty cool though overall, but I mean,

50
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:44.199
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't able to go to the All Star Game,

51
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:51.800
<v Speaker 2>but I feel like the festivities involved were pretty cool.

52
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:55.120
<v Speaker 2>My favorite part about it was the tribute they did

53
00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:00.639
<v Speaker 2>for Hank Aaron after the sixth inning, the Elijah they

54
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:02.960
<v Speaker 2>did on the field honoring his seven hundred and fifteenth

55
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:09.759
<v Speaker 2>home run, more specifically on the Day seven fifteen. Game

56
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:13.240
<v Speaker 2>itself was pretty good. I think Dave. I think Dave

57
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:18.600
<v Speaker 2>Roberts overall did a terrible job managing it. Look, we

58
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:21.959
<v Speaker 2>all loved Freddy Freeman, but I think it was a

59
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:24.920
<v Speaker 2>joke that he was able to come off the field

60
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:30.600
<v Speaker 2>to a standing ovation, but Ronald Acunya wasn't. He was

61
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.480
<v Speaker 2>subbed out for Fernando Tatis without getting on in his

62
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:36.079
<v Speaker 2>own ballpark. And then on top of that, you had

63
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:43.639
<v Speaker 2>Shohio Tani leading off. That's Ronald's spot, Like read the room, Dave. Okay,

64
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:47.240
<v Speaker 2>So I feel like with that. And then for the

65
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:50.040
<v Speaker 2>swing off, I thought it was different. I think it

66
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:51.800
<v Speaker 2>was the first time they did it. And then for

67
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:55.319
<v Speaker 2>the swing off, you had three players in the NL East,

68
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:58.279
<v Speaker 2>but you didn't have Akunya or Olson in it, which

69
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.240
<v Speaker 2>I thought was like kind of read the room thing.

70
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:05.399
<v Speaker 2>But overall I thought it was pretty cool. I wish

71
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:08.040
<v Speaker 2>you could have had it four years ago, but better

72
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:14.000
<v Speaker 2>late than ever, I guess, Taylor your thoughts well.

73
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:17.600
<v Speaker 3>First off, Showy o'tany was actually supposed to lead off

74
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:21.480
<v Speaker 3>because he was the number one star in Major League Baseball.

75
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:25.920
<v Speaker 3>Of Course, the the NLU jumped out off to a

76
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:31.879
<v Speaker 3>great start against Trek Scoobel. Of course, uh they they're there.

77
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:35.800
<v Speaker 3>The NL's offense was very, very powerful, just too much

78
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:38.680
<v Speaker 3>for Terrek Scooble to overcome. Of course he made a

79
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.439
<v Speaker 3>couple of mistakes or a few, but whatever. But the

80
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:45.120
<v Speaker 3>NL jumped out to US six nothing lead. But the

81
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:47.439
<v Speaker 3>a L actually came back to tie it up in

82
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:51.920
<v Speaker 3>the ninth inning, Stephen Kwan h producing the final run

83
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:53.920
<v Speaker 3>in the for the a L. On the top of

84
00:05:53.920 --> 00:06:01.600
<v Speaker 3>the night. It's against Mets closing pitcher Edwin Diaz. Even

85
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:05.240
<v Speaker 3>as a Tigers fan. I respect Steven Kuan. He can

86
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:08.480
<v Speaker 3>run fast, he can leg out balls on the ground

87
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:14.120
<v Speaker 3>and get on base, and he's a machine. And as

88
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:16.240
<v Speaker 3>far as the swing off goes, it's kind of I

89
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:19.519
<v Speaker 3>picture it just like the NHL shootout. It's actually fun.

90
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:21.720
<v Speaker 3>And by the way, the the All Star Game is

91
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:27.560
<v Speaker 3>just exhibition. But what I was amazed about the swing

92
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:32.279
<v Speaker 3>off Kyle Schwarber hitting three home runs out of three swings.

93
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:36.319
<v Speaker 3>That is incredible. Kyle Schwarber is a home run machine.

94
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:38.399
<v Speaker 3>That's all I have.

95
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:42.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, you gotta respect him. I just still

96
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:44.959
<v Speaker 2>kind of wish we could have had either Ronald or

97
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:47.639
<v Speaker 2>Matt in that swing off. But it is what it is.

98
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:51.800
<v Speaker 2>The National League gotta win, which is always good for

99
00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:56.000
<v Speaker 2>while they're the American League that dominated the All Star Game,

100
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:58.040
<v Speaker 2>and it seems like the National League has won I

101
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:01.160
<v Speaker 2>believe two of the last three they won in twenty three,

102
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:02.839
<v Speaker 2>they won this year? Did they win last year? Who

103
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:04.079
<v Speaker 2>won last year? The American League?

104
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:05.759
<v Speaker 1>I think the American League.

105
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:09.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think I couldn't quite remember one hundred percent,

106
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:10.680
<v Speaker 3>but I think it, but I think they all did.

107
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

108
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:17.160
<v Speaker 3>But question for you, samer are you are you saying

109
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:20.040
<v Speaker 3>that RONALDA Junior should have let off, or are you

110
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:23.360
<v Speaker 3>just favoring him just because you're an Atlanta sports fan.

111
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:27.079
<v Speaker 3>I'm just just want to second one.

112
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:30.079
<v Speaker 2>It's more of the second one, and he was in

113
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:31.040
<v Speaker 2>his own ballpark.

114
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:35.600
<v Speaker 3>Would have been right that that's true, but still show

115
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:39.759
<v Speaker 3>you gotta everyone has to know is the number one

116
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:44.199
<v Speaker 3>player in Major League Baseball. It's the hot commodity, not

117
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:47.720
<v Speaker 3>just in Atlanta, but but in Major League Baseball all

118
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:49.480
<v Speaker 3>the entire league.

119
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Wasn't he the highest vote getter? Too? And I think,

120
00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:53.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, of course he was.

121
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:55.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah he was.

122
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:58.160
<v Speaker 3>There's no shadow of a doubt.

123
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I mean again, I'm not denying that, but I'm

124
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:04.879
<v Speaker 2>seeing it from a prospect, from a point of view

125
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:08.720
<v Speaker 2>as a Braves fan. Where the All Star Game was

126
00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:12.040
<v Speaker 2>in our ballpark, I.

127
00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:17.639
<v Speaker 1>Know, but it wasn't your manager managing it either though,

128
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:18.920
<v Speaker 1>which is.

129
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:23.879
<v Speaker 3>Like he manages the Dodgers, Dave Roberts Right.

130
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:28.040
<v Speaker 1>So one the one thing I thought was really cool

131
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:34.519
<v Speaker 1>was the winner of the home run derby. He had

132
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:37.799
<v Speaker 1>his dad pitching to him and his brother was catching

133
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:41.519
<v Speaker 1>for him.

134
00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:43.039
<v Speaker 2>He was one.

135
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:45.320
<v Speaker 3>He was one of those Seattle manners that can they

136
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:47.799
<v Speaker 3>could they could produce a lot of offense. Don't forget

137
00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:52.559
<v Speaker 3>Randy or Rose Arena, Julio Rodriguez. There are a few

138
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:55.679
<v Speaker 3>of those guys in the lineup that can never be

139
00:08:55.840 --> 00:09:00.879
<v Speaker 3>underestimated for the Seattle Mariners and some Tigers fan But

140
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:04.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to go down the list of names.

141
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:09.279
<v Speaker 3>But they they just take the Mariners lineup for granted,

142
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:13.200
<v Speaker 3>they just kicked them to the curb. That's I mean,

143
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:17.720
<v Speaker 3>I mean, come on, the mirrors. The Mirror's offense is

144
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:21.000
<v Speaker 3>better than some people that most people may think.

145
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:25.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I've studied them.

146
00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:28.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And the Tigers coaching staff just failed to scout

147
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:30.879
<v Speaker 3>the Mariners lineup well.

148
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:35.639
<v Speaker 1>And this was the first that I thought was cool too.

149
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:37.200
<v Speaker 1>It was the first time I catcher won.

150
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:41.320
<v Speaker 3>The home run exactly. Yo, cal Role, he's a catcher,

151
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:41.840
<v Speaker 3>that's a fact.

152
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Jack m hm hmm. Yeah.

153
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:52.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, Samira, I'm that that's exciting that you got to

154
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:54.360
<v Speaker 1>go to that. That was cool because I remember back

155
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:56.879
<v Speaker 1>in the day I got to go to the events

156
00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:00.759
<v Speaker 1>when it was in Milwaukee, and you don't get that

157
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:04.720
<v Speaker 1>opportunity very often, so it's cool when you do to

158
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:06.399
<v Speaker 1>take advantage of it.

159
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm. Definitely, that's cool.

160
00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Any other last comments on the All Star Game or

161
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:25.120
<v Speaker 1>the festivities. No, we got it. Good. Okay, guys. So

162
00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:28.000
<v Speaker 1>what I what? We're starting a series that's gonna be

163
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:30.440
<v Speaker 1>a four week series, and what it's gonna be is

164
00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:40.080
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna preview two of the divisions I NFL. So

165
00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:45.240
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna start with the AFC South and the NFC

166
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:47.480
<v Speaker 1>South and those are gonna be the ones that we're

167
00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:51.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna hit this week, and we're gonna talk about what's

168
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:54.519
<v Speaker 1>changed in the division and what we think, prediction wise,

169
00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:58.080
<v Speaker 1>how the teams are gonna do. So we're gonna start

170
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:04.759
<v Speaker 1>with the AFC South. Uh So, mister Samir the South

171
00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:10.159
<v Speaker 1>as the Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, the Jacksonville Jaguars, and

172
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:13.799
<v Speaker 1>the Tennessee Titans. There's been some changes within those teams

173
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:16.840
<v Speaker 1>this year. Tell us some of the changes on what

174
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:21.200
<v Speaker 1>you how you see that division playing out this year?

175
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Uh? Yeah. So with the Tennessee Titans, it feels like

176
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:31.120
<v Speaker 2>they're officially really in year two their rebuild mode. They

177
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:34.519
<v Speaker 2>do have a new general manager, Mike Berganzi Bottom over

178
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:42.600
<v Speaker 2>from Kansas City based again the receiving core. They they've

179
00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:46.320
<v Speaker 2>got Calvin Ridley coming off of solid season last couple

180
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:50.200
<v Speaker 2>of years. They did draft Xavier Estrepo, and of course

181
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:55.960
<v Speaker 2>they got cam Moore first. Overall, defense does have some pieces.

182
00:11:57.200 --> 00:11:59.240
<v Speaker 2>I like the detackle they got a couple of years

183
00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:05.639
<v Speaker 2>ago out of Texas Sweat, and then they got the

184
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:10.840
<v Speaker 2>corner from the Chiefs a couple of years ago, So

185
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:14.360
<v Speaker 2>there are some pieces there. But ultimately I think they

186
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:17.919
<v Speaker 2>are a year or two away from really making that

187
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:23.039
<v Speaker 2>next step if they build around cam Moore correctly. I

188
00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:26.759
<v Speaker 2>did write an article recently about some coaches that could

189
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:31.679
<v Speaker 2>potentially be on the hot seat, and on that list

190
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:36.679
<v Speaker 2>I mentioned Brian Callahan as a possible maybe surprise, maybe

191
00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:40.919
<v Speaker 2>wild card, and that really depends on a factor of things.

192
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:47.200
<v Speaker 2>It depends on cam Ord's development. Like I think I've mentioned,

193
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:48.799
<v Speaker 2>the Titans are going to be that good this year,

194
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:52.120
<v Speaker 2>but if cam Ord is developing as a quarterback as

195
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:55.000
<v Speaker 2>the season goes on, I think he'll be safe. But

196
00:12:55.240 --> 00:13:00.879
<v Speaker 2>let's say cam Mooard struggles and they have another four, three, four,

197
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:05.399
<v Speaker 2>maybe five win season. There there is a scenario in

198
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:08.759
<v Speaker 2>which Mike Bragonzi may want to bring in a head coach,

199
00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:11.399
<v Speaker 2>in which he had to say in hiring, so that

200
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:16.919
<v Speaker 2>could be a scenario to look out for Jacksonville. I

201
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:20.399
<v Speaker 2>really liked the Liam Cohen hier. I did like that

202
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:24.519
<v Speaker 2>they made the switch from Trent Balke to a Gladstone

203
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Bottom over from the Rams, one of the more well

204
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:31.200
<v Speaker 2>run front offices in the NFL. The trade up for

205
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:37.759
<v Speaker 2>Travis Hunter, even though I don't necessarily like them giving

206
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:42.879
<v Speaker 2>up a future first for next season, Travis Hunter is

207
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:48.279
<v Speaker 2>a generational talent and that's just another weapon for Trevor

208
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Lawres to go alongside Brian Thomas. And they have a

209
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:56.600
<v Speaker 2>really good backfield with the Tank Bigs B and Travis ETN.

210
00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:59.360
<v Speaker 2>It'll be interesting to see how they set that backfield up.

211
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:03.279
<v Speaker 2>Who is a starter and who like who's starting in

212
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:09.159
<v Speaker 2>that backfield. The defense does have some pieces, especially up front,

213
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:14.799
<v Speaker 2>especially with Eric Armstead, Josh Heinz Allen, Trayvon Walker from

214
00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:20.240
<v Speaker 2>a couple of years ago. They've got Andre Cisco in

215
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:24.039
<v Speaker 2>that of red safety as well, so they've got some

216
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:28.360
<v Speaker 2>pieces there and I'm assuming the coaching staff is going

217
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:31.919
<v Speaker 2>to be an upgrade as well. So I think their

218
00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:34.840
<v Speaker 2>team that can improve and definitely a team to look

219
00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:38.320
<v Speaker 2>out for. I think if Trevor Lawrence is healthy. Having

220
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:40.120
<v Speaker 2>a guy like Liam Cohen there you look at the

221
00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:43.960
<v Speaker 2>job he did in Tampa last year, will be beneficial

222
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:48.840
<v Speaker 2>to him. The team I'm most intrigued by in that

223
00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:53.600
<v Speaker 2>division is Indianapolis because they're an interesting team. They've got

224
00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:57.279
<v Speaker 2>some pieces there on both sides of the ball. You know,

225
00:14:57.440 --> 00:15:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Jonathan Taylor, Josh Downs, Mike Pittman. I've got Quentin Nelson,

226
00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:07.440
<v Speaker 2>who's one of the top offensive interior offensive linemen in

227
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:12.559
<v Speaker 2>the NFL. But I think the wild card for them

228
00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:16.960
<v Speaker 2>is going to be whether Anthony Richardson develops as a passer.

229
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:24.159
<v Speaker 2>When Shane Stike and Chris Valley regime took a chance

230
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:26.320
<v Speaker 2>on him for it overall in twenty twenty three, he

231
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:30.480
<v Speaker 2>was always considered a raw prospect, but it was really

232
00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:34.840
<v Speaker 2>the arm, the athleticism, and really the physical traits that

233
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:41.320
<v Speaker 2>stuck out. And he has shown flashes throughout his first

234
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:45.279
<v Speaker 2>two years so far, but he just hasn't been able

235
00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:48.320
<v Speaker 2>to put it together. He's had some injuries, including a

236
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:52.200
<v Speaker 2>season ending one in twenty three. He's had some struggles

237
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:56.879
<v Speaker 2>with accuracy. There was the incident against it was Houston,

238
00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:58.840
<v Speaker 2>I think where he took himself out of the game

239
00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:01.480
<v Speaker 2>for a little bit, say he was tired then got

240
00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:05.559
<v Speaker 2>benched afterwards. For Joe Flacco, it's kind of a kind

241
00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:08.720
<v Speaker 2>of been a roller coaster ride, and he is in

242
00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:12.840
<v Speaker 2>a competition for his job with Daniel Jones. But I

243
00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:15.960
<v Speaker 2>also mentioned this in the article. You have a coach

244
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:18.440
<v Speaker 2>and a general manager who basically need to win this

245
00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:21.840
<v Speaker 2>year to keep their jobs in un likelihood, and I

246
00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:24.320
<v Speaker 2>just don't see them going into a must win year

247
00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:27.879
<v Speaker 2>with Daniel Jones as a starter. I think their jobs

248
00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:32.240
<v Speaker 2>are going to depend heavily on how Anthony Richardson develops,

249
00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:35.120
<v Speaker 2>and I think they're going to live and die by that.

250
00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:39.440
<v Speaker 2>But Houston, I do think there are concerns about their

251
00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:43.759
<v Speaker 2>offensive line. There are some concerns about their wide receiver room.

252
00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:49.240
<v Speaker 2>Stefan Diggs is in New England. Tank Dell is still

253
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:54.879
<v Speaker 2>out for the season. But I did like the Christian

254
00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:58.840
<v Speaker 2>Kirk pickup and I do like the Jaden Higgins selection

255
00:16:58.919 --> 00:17:02.720
<v Speaker 2>in the second round for them. But overall, on paper,

256
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:05.480
<v Speaker 2>their defense is still legit. They still got CJ's drove

257
00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:07.519
<v Speaker 2>back there, who I think will have a bounce back year.

258
00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:11.799
<v Speaker 2>But it's an interesting division, but I still think Houston

259
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:13.359
<v Speaker 2>will come out on top on.

260
00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:20.200
<v Speaker 4>Paper, Taylor your thoughts man, well, like like some are

261
00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:25.200
<v Speaker 4>pointing out the Titans of rebuilding, the Jaguars got some

262
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:28.160
<v Speaker 4>new coaching, Trevor Lawrence is still there.

263
00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:35.319
<v Speaker 3>It's still a wait and see approach for Jacksonville Indianapolis.

264
00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:41.559
<v Speaker 3>I would I would say, uh, yeah, yeah. Joe Flacco's

265
00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:45.000
<v Speaker 3>like play played in the NFL for a long time.

266
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:45.880
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

267
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:48.279
<v Speaker 3>He mentioned that his name too.

268
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

269
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:52.720
<v Speaker 3>Anthony Richardson. Uh. I would take either one of these

270
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:57.319
<v Speaker 3>over Daniel Jones because Daniel Jones cannot play quarterback.

271
00:17:58.200 --> 00:17:59.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and.

272
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:06.160
<v Speaker 3>Any NFL team, the Giants or the Colts, the Houston Texans,

273
00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:10.759
<v Speaker 3>they definitely need an offensive line. Man, that's a tough one.

274
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:14.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna say Houston Texans just randomly. But I think

275
00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:16.960
<v Speaker 3>the AFC South is just screwed.

276
00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, it's it's kind of been the same. It's

277
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:24.599
<v Speaker 2>kind of like the NFC South in twenty twenty two,

278
00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:27.200
<v Speaker 2>where every team twenty three is like every team is like,

279
00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:32.519
<v Speaker 2>but it's like on pap like Houston is Tampa, Like,

280
00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:35.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, they've got some poles, they've got some question marks,

281
00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:37.279
<v Speaker 2>but on paper, their career with the best team in

282
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:37.839
<v Speaker 2>that division.

283
00:18:39.839 --> 00:18:43.079
<v Speaker 1>I think it'll be interesting with the new the new regime,

284
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:48.359
<v Speaker 1>like for the Jaguars the Titans, depends on you know,

285
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:52.119
<v Speaker 1>how like you said, how well does cam Ward you know,

286
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:57.880
<v Speaker 1>transition from college to now NFL, Because let's face it,

287
00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:02.279
<v Speaker 1>the NFL plays at a different level, different speed, different tempo.

288
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:08.200
<v Speaker 1>You have different defenses out there. I think that'll be interesting.

289
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I think the whole Travis Hunter with Jacksonville, with Liam Colt,

290
00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:17.799
<v Speaker 1>like you said, those are some interesting developments and changes.

291
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:21.960
<v Speaker 1>So I think they're While they'll be much improved, I

292
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:29.640
<v Speaker 1>don't know how that translates to their record. I think

293
00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:37.720
<v Speaker 1>they're still in rebuilding obviously. The Colts, Yeah, Daniel Jones, Yeah,

294
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:41.039
<v Speaker 1>but I still say that like you, like you say

295
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:44.799
<v Speaker 1>the Texans, I predict them to win, but I think

296
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:49.559
<v Speaker 1>it won't be I don't think they'll be as much

297
00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:53.640
<v Speaker 1>like last year. Texans were ten and seven, the Jaguars

298
00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:56.119
<v Speaker 1>were four and thirteen. I think the division will be

299
00:19:56.240 --> 00:20:00.160
<v Speaker 1>closer than a lot of people think this year, as

300
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:05.359
<v Speaker 1>opposed to being such the polarity that it was last year.

301
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:14.240
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I don't want Jacksonville to be improved, mainly

302
00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:20.519
<v Speaker 1>from just a coaching standpoint, right, Well, and typically when

303
00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:26.039
<v Speaker 1>you finish your previous year as low as they did

304
00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:34.039
<v Speaker 1>your next year, you don't have as tough of a schedule. Now,

305
00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:37.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember who does the AFC South play this year?

306
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:40.599
<v Speaker 1>Do we know? Did we look that up to see

307
00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:46.000
<v Speaker 1>who were they playing this year? Because a lot of

308
00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:51.839
<v Speaker 1>times I think that, you know, let's see.

309
00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:55.039
<v Speaker 2>Wait, which team Texans.

310
00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:59.200
<v Speaker 1>The the the AFC South, So who do they play

311
00:20:59.240 --> 00:20:59.680
<v Speaker 1>this year?

312
00:20:59.799 --> 00:20:59.880
<v Speaker 2>You?

313
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:01.359
<v Speaker 1>Because every year they rotate?

314
00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:08.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so so I know the scheduling is kind of

315
00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:16.400
<v Speaker 2>different this year. Like wait, yeah, like the I think

316
00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:21.440
<v Speaker 2>each AFC South team is playing one NFC South team,

317
00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:24.720
<v Speaker 2>So like the Texans are playing the Bucks, We're playing

318
00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:30.039
<v Speaker 2>the Colts in uh Germany and uh, let me see.

319
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:34.880
<v Speaker 1>It says the schedule includes divisional games matchups against the

320
00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:37.960
<v Speaker 1>AFC West and the NFC West, and.

321
00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:42.480
<v Speaker 2>The Jaguars are playing the Panthers. I know that. Mm hmm.

322
00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:47.079
<v Speaker 1>Let's see.

323
00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:53.160
<v Speaker 3>I think the Indianapolis Cult should be in the AFC North.

324
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:58.000
<v Speaker 3>I think at least some of those divisions need to

325
00:21:58.000 --> 00:21:58.880
<v Speaker 3>be rearranged.

326
00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

327
00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:04.160
<v Speaker 3>Geography, geographically, yeah, I mean, I mean NFC East.

328
00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:07.200
<v Speaker 2>You can make an argument that, I mean, maybe Dallas

329
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:11.759
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't be in the NFC East given the geographical alignment.

330
00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:16.480
<v Speaker 3>Right, they still yeah, their their rivalry with what was

331
00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:21.920
<v Speaker 3>the Washington Redskins is over. The Washington Commanders are the now,

332
00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:26.799
<v Speaker 3>of course, so the past is the past, the present

333
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:30.759
<v Speaker 3>is the present. So i'd say that that old rivalry

334
00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:31.119
<v Speaker 3>is over.

335
00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:36.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, I wouldn't say that. I feel like I feel

336
00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:39.319
<v Speaker 2>like all the teams in the NFC East genuinely don't

337
00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:44.079
<v Speaker 2>like each other, right, Still, I don't. I wouldn't say it.

338
00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:49.839
<v Speaker 1>So so the Texans, to give you an idea of

339
00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:53.960
<v Speaker 1>their schedule, Week one is at the Rams, Week two

340
00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:58.200
<v Speaker 1>is home against the Buccaneers, Week three at the Jaguars,

341
00:22:58.279 --> 00:23:02.759
<v Speaker 1>four against the Titans. I've at the Ravens. Week six

342
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:07.400
<v Speaker 1>is thereby, Week seven is at Seahawks, Week eight is

343
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:11.720
<v Speaker 1>against the forty nine ers, Week nine is against the Broncos,

344
00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Week ten is against the Jaguars. Eleven is at the Titans,

345
00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:21.519
<v Speaker 1>Week twelve is against the Bills, Week thirteen is at

346
00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:26.279
<v Speaker 1>the Colts, Week fourteen is at the Chiefs, Week fifteen

347
00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:30.960
<v Speaker 1>is the Cardinals, Week sixteen is the Raiders, Week seventeen

348
00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:37.319
<v Speaker 1>at Chargers, and week eighteen is the Colts. For me,

349
00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:40.359
<v Speaker 1>that sounds like kind of a could be it.

350
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:44.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's not an easy schedule for the Texas.

351
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:45.640
<v Speaker 3>Challenging in other words.

352
00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:52.319
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but the other on the other flip side of

353
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:56.440
<v Speaker 5>it is if you want to win, you've got to

354
00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:58.759
<v Speaker 5>win the tough games too, so like you.

355
00:23:58.759 --> 00:24:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Know, yeah, yep, you gotta earn it. So the colt schedule,

356
00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:08.119
<v Speaker 1>they play week one against the Dolphins, Week two against

357
00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:11.119
<v Speaker 1>the Broncos, Week three at the Titans, week four at

358
00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:14.960
<v Speaker 1>the Rams, week five the Raiders, week six the Cardinals,

359
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:19.720
<v Speaker 1>week seven at Chargers, week eight Titans, week nine at

360
00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:24.440
<v Speaker 1>the Steelers. Week ten is the Falcons in Berlin. Week

361
00:24:24.519 --> 00:24:27.960
<v Speaker 1>eleven then is there by. Week twelve is at the Chiefs,

362
00:24:28.599 --> 00:24:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Week thirteen Texans, Week fourteen at Jaguars, Week fifteen at Seahawks,

363
00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:42.240
<v Speaker 1>Week sixteen the forty, week seventeen Jaguars, and week eighteen

364
00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:47.720
<v Speaker 1>at the Texans. So they don't have it easy. I

365
00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:52.039
<v Speaker 1>don't think they have quite as hard as as I

366
00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:56.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I mean, anytime you're gonna go to go

367
00:24:56.039 --> 00:24:59.799
<v Speaker 1>to Seattle the Tech, that's kind of always.

368
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:07.599
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, yeah, that's why I feel like, well, neither

369
00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:12.400
<v Speaker 2>team really stands out. It's kind of like again the

370
00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:15.599
<v Speaker 2>NFC South in twenty two and twenty three, where you're

371
00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:18.759
<v Speaker 2>picking Tampa just based off their roster on paper.

372
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:27.640
<v Speaker 1>So the Jaguars their week one is versus the Panthers.

373
00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:31.279
<v Speaker 1>Week two is at the Bengals, Week three is Texans,

374
00:25:31.359 --> 00:25:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Week four is at the forty nine Ers, Week five

375
00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:38.720
<v Speaker 1>is the Chiefs, Week six is the Seahawks, Week seven

376
00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:42.599
<v Speaker 1>is the Rams in London. Week eight is a bye,

377
00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Week nine is at the Raiders, ten at Texans, eleven

378
00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:53.319
<v Speaker 1>is Chargers, twelve at Cardinals, thirteen at Titans, fourteen the Colts,

379
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:58.920
<v Speaker 1>week fifteen the Jets, week sixteen at the Broncos, week

380
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:03.640
<v Speaker 1>seventeen at the Colts in week eighteen versus the Titans.

381
00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:07.119
<v Speaker 1>See now, I don't I don't know if that's as tough.

382
00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah for who which the Titans?

383
00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:20.319
<v Speaker 1>That was the JAGUARSS my apology. That's okay. Ten Titans

384
00:26:20.319 --> 00:26:22.720
<v Speaker 1>will be next. They will be the last. But yeah,

385
00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:27.559
<v Speaker 1>I think I mean to the Jaguars credit. I think

386
00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:33.200
<v Speaker 1>playing the Chiefs at home helps playing see the Seahawks

387
00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:38.039
<v Speaker 1>at home is you know, I think always going going

388
00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:41.000
<v Speaker 1>on the road to like Seahawks Seahawks, because that's a

389
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:45.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of travel because so remember they play the Chiefs

390
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:48.240
<v Speaker 1>at home, the Seahawks and then they go across the

391
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:53.720
<v Speaker 1>seas to London to play the Rams. I just think

392
00:26:53.759 --> 00:26:56.240
<v Speaker 1>there are some stadiums that are a lot tougher to

393
00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:59.920
<v Speaker 1>play in, and one of the Seahawks Seahawks, whether they

394
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:02.079
<v Speaker 1>have a good team or not, but there's always that,

395
00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:09.559
<v Speaker 1>you know, that twelve man mentality up there. As far

396
00:27:09.640 --> 00:27:13.440
<v Speaker 1>as the Titans schedule, week one is at the Broncos,

397
00:27:13.480 --> 00:27:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Week two is versus the Rams, three is the Colts,

398
00:27:17.119 --> 00:27:21.200
<v Speaker 1>four is at Texans, five is a Cardinals, six is

399
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:25.839
<v Speaker 1>at Raiders, seven is Patriots, eight is at the Colts,

400
00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Week nine is the Chargers, Week ten is thereby, Week

401
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:34.279
<v Speaker 1>eleven is the Texans, twelve is Seahawks, thirteen as Jaguars,

402
00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:38.279
<v Speaker 1>fourteen is at the Browns, fifteen is at the forty

403
00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:42.759
<v Speaker 1>nine Ers, sixteen is the Chiefs, seventeen is the Saints,

404
00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:48.359
<v Speaker 1>and week eighteen is at the Jaguars. Yeah, that's not

405
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:55.920
<v Speaker 1>quite as difficulty either, I don't think. Yeah, I think

406
00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I really look at the tough games against the teams

407
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:01.039
<v Speaker 1>that I think are going to be tough, and are

408
00:28:01.039 --> 00:28:02.839
<v Speaker 1>you playing them on your home field or are you

409
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:05.519
<v Speaker 1>playing them away, and if you're playing them away, that

410
00:28:05.599 --> 00:28:13.839
<v Speaker 1>makes it that much harder. I think. So we still

411
00:28:13.880 --> 00:28:17.200
<v Speaker 1>think even though we think Houston's got one of the

412
00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:21.079
<v Speaker 1>tougher schedules, we still think Houston's gonna take it.

413
00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I just feel like there's still the most talented

414
00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:28.200
<v Speaker 2>team in that division, and I think when it's all

415
00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:29.960
<v Speaker 2>said and done, that talent is going to get them

416
00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:32.200
<v Speaker 2>over the hall in regards to one in that division.

417
00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Okay, So they're saying that Tennessee's strength of schedule

418
00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:45.599
<v Speaker 1>is the easiest in the division and fourth easiest in

419
00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:49.599
<v Speaker 1>the entire league. The Titans are just one of three

420
00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:58.640
<v Speaker 1>teams facing a three game road trip. Interesting. Interesting, And

421
00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:03.119
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee and Newerleens are the only two teams without an

422
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:10.359
<v Speaker 1>international game or a prime time spotlight. That's kind of interesting.

423
00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm.

424
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:18.799
<v Speaker 1>Okay. So, now, so we did the AFC, so let's

425
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:25.599
<v Speaker 1>do the NFC South and that would be the Buccaneers,

426
00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:30.640
<v Speaker 1>the Falcons, the Panthers, and the Saints this time, Taylor,

427
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:34.559
<v Speaker 1>you want to talk about what's new with those.

428
00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:37.000
<v Speaker 3>Four teams or I'll pass right.

429
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Samir, since I know this is up your wheelhouse

430
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:45.119
<v Speaker 1>with the Falcons being in Maryland, go for it.

431
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:46.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, definitely.

432
00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:49.440
<v Speaker 2>I think you can make the case that every team

433
00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:53.920
<v Speaker 2>in the NFC South improved this offseason in some capacity

434
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:58.119
<v Speaker 2>except for the Saints. I think seems like the Saints

435
00:29:58.119 --> 00:30:03.319
<v Speaker 2>are finally enough, Like no more kicking the can down

436
00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:06.559
<v Speaker 2>the road, no more trying to contend with an aging roster.

437
00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:09.759
<v Speaker 2>It seems like they're finally starting to turn the page

438
00:30:09.759 --> 00:30:16.880
<v Speaker 2>and rebuild. They bought and Kellen Moore and I actually

439
00:30:16.920 --> 00:30:21.240
<v Speaker 2>do like their first round draft pick with Kelvin Banks.

440
00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:25.279
<v Speaker 2>When you were starting to rebuild in the NFL, you

441
00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:28.880
<v Speaker 2>rebuild from the inside out, so offensive line, defensive line.

442
00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:32.160
<v Speaker 2>Then you kind of go out and get your skill

443
00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:34.480
<v Speaker 2>position players. I feel like that's kind of the way

444
00:30:34.519 --> 00:30:42.559
<v Speaker 2>to do it. But then that quarterback, they've got Spencer Rattler,

445
00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:46.000
<v Speaker 2>who was all right last year but didn't really stand out.

446
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:51.079
<v Speaker 2>They spent an early second round pick on Tyler Shuck,

447
00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:54.640
<v Speaker 2>twenty six year old, had a couple of injuries, never

448
00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:57.680
<v Speaker 2>really had that great of a season in college, and

449
00:30:57.720 --> 00:31:02.000
<v Speaker 2>they went ahead and spent and spent early second on them.

450
00:31:02.039 --> 00:31:05.440
<v Speaker 2>It's funny the Saints fans last year made fun of

451
00:31:05.519 --> 00:31:09.039
<v Speaker 2>us for taking Pennix, who was far more talented his

452
00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:11.240
<v Speaker 2>last two years in college, and Shuck was at any

453
00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:16.720
<v Speaker 2>point and even younger of a prospect by just a year. Nonetheless,

454
00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:21.680
<v Speaker 2>then they go around and do that. But that being said,

455
00:31:21.720 --> 00:31:26.799
<v Speaker 2>Saints are finally in rebuild mode and we'll see where

456
00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:32.720
<v Speaker 2>they end up going there. Carolina, I do feel like

457
00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:36.799
<v Speaker 2>I do like what Carolina did this offseason, especially in

458
00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:40.160
<v Speaker 2>the draft, getting a guy like Ted McMillan at eight,

459
00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:43.759
<v Speaker 2>even though some say they maybe should have went with

460
00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:47.039
<v Speaker 2>May went and got defensive player like Jalen Walker there.

461
00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:50.559
<v Speaker 2>They got Nick scords On in the second out of

462
00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:52.839
<v Speaker 2>Texas A and then then they get Princely from Ole Miss,

463
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:56.519
<v Speaker 2>so that kind of headline their draft. I like what

464
00:31:56.559 --> 00:32:02.240
<v Speaker 2>they did there, and overall, though I still think they

465
00:32:02.359 --> 00:32:06.279
<v Speaker 2>are maybe another year away, I do think they'll improve.

466
00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Maybe they'll be seven and ten, possibly eight and nine

467
00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:13.039
<v Speaker 2>if things go really well. I do expect Brycelling to

468
00:32:13.079 --> 00:32:15.160
<v Speaker 2>continue to develop and take strides, kind of like what

469
00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:19.279
<v Speaker 2>he did towards the second half of last season after

470
00:32:19.319 --> 00:32:23.319
<v Speaker 2>he came back from being benched. And I think overall

471
00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:25.960
<v Speaker 2>this was a testament to the difference that coaching can

472
00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:29.000
<v Speaker 2>make you go from a guy like Frank Reich and

473
00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:33.119
<v Speaker 2>that coaching staff. They had his rookie year, that terrible

474
00:32:33.160 --> 00:32:39.880
<v Speaker 2>offensive line, no weapons, got sacked like sixty times, and

475
00:32:39.920 --> 00:32:43.720
<v Speaker 2>then gets benched after two games, comes back and looks

476
00:32:43.720 --> 00:32:49.559
<v Speaker 2>like a completely different quarterback. So we'll see whether or

477
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:53.839
<v Speaker 2>not he builds off of that this season. Tampa Bay,

478
00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:57.480
<v Speaker 2>they've won it four years in a row. I think

479
00:32:57.519 --> 00:33:01.640
<v Speaker 2>their offense is gonna be good, if not better on

480
00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:05.440
<v Speaker 2>paper than last year, especially when you add a Mecca

481
00:33:05.559 --> 00:33:12.119
<v Speaker 2>Buga to that already talented wide receiver room. The only

482
00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:15.359
<v Speaker 2>question mark for them is their secondary because outside of

483
00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Antoine Winfield and maybe Jamel Dean, there's not really much there.

484
00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:25.039
<v Speaker 2>So I'm surprised they didn't go that route or address

485
00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:30.000
<v Speaker 2>it further in the draft. But I mean, look, they've

486
00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:32.440
<v Speaker 2>won it four times in a row, they got a

487
00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:36.359
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowl the year before that, and it's just a

488
00:33:36.640 --> 00:33:39.119
<v Speaker 2>it's their division until someone else wins it. And they

489
00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:44.079
<v Speaker 2>did extend notably extended Todd Bowles and Jason like Jason

490
00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:46.240
<v Speaker 2>liked in my opinion as one of the more underrated

491
00:33:46.279 --> 00:33:49.960
<v Speaker 2>general managers in the NFL. Think about how good of

492
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:54.359
<v Speaker 2>a job he's done, especially coming out of the transitioning

493
00:33:54.359 --> 00:33:56.599
<v Speaker 2>from the Brady era. There is a lot of question

494
00:33:56.640 --> 00:34:00.440
<v Speaker 2>marks under center, what's that going to look like? There

495
00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:03.079
<v Speaker 2>is a lot of uncertainty around Baker Mayfield and his

496
00:34:03.119 --> 00:34:05.759
<v Speaker 2>future as an NFL quarterback when he had first signed there,

497
00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:11.519
<v Speaker 2>and that signing ended up being an absolute hit. In

498
00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:18.719
<v Speaker 2>their playoff windows wide open again and last but not least, Atlanta,

499
00:34:20.280 --> 00:34:23.280
<v Speaker 2>you could argue that they could have won this division

500
00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:29.440
<v Speaker 2>last year and in twenty twenty three. But they're just

501
00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:31.800
<v Speaker 2>a team that just seemingly can't get out of their

502
00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:36.119
<v Speaker 2>own way. Why there be a couple of bad draft

503
00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:41.639
<v Speaker 2>classes in twenty twenty one, some interesting draft strategies that

504
00:34:41.800 --> 00:34:45.840
<v Speaker 2>Kirk Cousins contract. They're they're just in the way it

505
00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:48.519
<v Speaker 2>was handled. They just seemingly cannot get out of their

506
00:34:48.559 --> 00:34:53.079
<v Speaker 2>own way. They have the talent on paper to win

507
00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:58.119
<v Speaker 2>the division. I really like our draft class, especially with

508
00:34:58.559 --> 00:35:03.639
<v Speaker 2>Jalen Walker. I like picking Xavier Watson the third and

509
00:35:03.880 --> 00:35:06.760
<v Speaker 2>there are a lot of mixed feelings about the big

510
00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:10.599
<v Speaker 2>trade up for James Pierce Junior. I like it and

511
00:35:10.719 --> 00:35:14.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't like it at the same time. I like

512
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:18.440
<v Speaker 2>it because James Pierce, he was one of the he

513
00:35:18.599 --> 00:35:21.880
<v Speaker 2>was one of the better rated prospects going into that draft,

514
00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:24.719
<v Speaker 2>and was actually considered a top ten picking some mocks

515
00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:29.760
<v Speaker 2>earlier in the fall, but there were some rumored character

516
00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:32.280
<v Speaker 2>concerns that caused him to slip in the draft. We

517
00:35:32.320 --> 00:35:37.880
<v Speaker 2>went and take that chance on him, But but I

518
00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:40.679
<v Speaker 2>feel like Jalen Walker was a steal at fifteen. I

519
00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:44.440
<v Speaker 2>did not even think he would be there. And I

520
00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:47.039
<v Speaker 2>know there's a lot of hype around this draft class

521
00:35:47.079 --> 00:35:50.480
<v Speaker 2>and the four draft picks we spent on defense, Walker, Pierce,

522
00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:54.199
<v Speaker 2>Xavier Watson, Billy Bowman out of Oklahoma, But I think

523
00:35:54.239 --> 00:35:56.960
<v Speaker 2>whether or not that defense takes the next step is

524
00:35:57.000 --> 00:35:59.480
<v Speaker 2>going to depend largely on the guys that were already

525
00:35:59.480 --> 00:36:01.880
<v Speaker 2>hearing that we drafted the past couple of years. Like

526
00:36:03.079 --> 00:36:05.760
<v Speaker 2>we have Braylin Trice coming back from an ACL injury.

527
00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:10.159
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't expect much from him this year, considering he

528
00:36:10.280 --> 00:36:12.800
<v Speaker 2>is a rookie and he usually takes a full year

529
00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:17.360
<v Speaker 2>to rehab from that injury. You've got ruk of Roro

530
00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:20.760
<v Speaker 2>row second round pick out of Clemson. We took him

531
00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:23.760
<v Speaker 2>over Bradon Fisk, who was on the board then, so

532
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:26.559
<v Speaker 2>some consider that a reach. He's gonna be stepping in

533
00:36:26.639 --> 00:36:29.440
<v Speaker 2>replacing Grady Jarrett, so there's gonna be a lot of

534
00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:32.400
<v Speaker 2>eyes on him. Brandon Dorless a guy we went and

535
00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:36.559
<v Speaker 2>took in the fourth round twenty four. I think he's

536
00:36:36.559 --> 00:36:39.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna get more playing time this year. Same with Zach Harrison,

537
00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:42.440
<v Speaker 2>the guy we got out of Ohio State. He was

538
00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:46.320
<v Speaker 2>productive outside. Later on towards the end of twenty twenty three,

539
00:36:46.360 --> 00:36:49.719
<v Speaker 2>they moved him in side. Didn't get a lot of

540
00:36:49.719 --> 00:36:51.679
<v Speaker 2>playing time, even though in my opinion, he should have.

541
00:36:53.280 --> 00:36:56.079
<v Speaker 2>But it seems like they're moving him back outside. So

542
00:36:56.079 --> 00:37:00.440
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna depend on guys like that developing and taking

543
00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:02.840
<v Speaker 2>that next step. And it's also going to depend on

544
00:37:02.920 --> 00:37:06.280
<v Speaker 2>whether or not Jeff Fobrick can put them in a

545
00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:09.920
<v Speaker 2>position to succeed, because last year we had Jimmy Lake

546
00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:12.599
<v Speaker 2>who was in over his head first time being an

547
00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:16.320
<v Speaker 2>NFL defensive coordinator, didn't know what he was doing, gets fired.

548
00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:21.599
<v Speaker 2>We bring back Jeff Fobrick, who was a solid linebackers

549
00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:23.960
<v Speaker 2>coach when he was here years ago under Dan Quinn,

550
00:37:25.039 --> 00:37:28.000
<v Speaker 2>did a solid job as a defensive coordinator with the Jets,

551
00:37:28.000 --> 00:37:30.559
<v Speaker 2>but when he took over as a head coach while

552
00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:34.000
<v Speaker 2>overseeing the defense, they kind of fell apart, so we'll

553
00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:41.480
<v Speaker 2>see what happens there. But offensively, I am confident in

554
00:37:41.599 --> 00:37:45.679
<v Speaker 2>Michael Pennis Junior. More ok, I would say cautiously optimistic,

555
00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:49.800
<v Speaker 2>Like when you watch him those last three games. He

556
00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:53.159
<v Speaker 2>has the poise, he can read a defense, and he's

557
00:37:53.199 --> 00:37:57.079
<v Speaker 2>got the arm. The only question I have for him

558
00:37:58.480 --> 00:38:03.760
<v Speaker 2>is his accuracy, and I think that will improve this year,

559
00:38:03.880 --> 00:38:08.840
<v Speaker 2>especially with more timing and more and more reps with

560
00:38:09.000 --> 00:38:13.920
<v Speaker 2>the ones, and ultimately, I think that's what it's going

561
00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:16.400
<v Speaker 2>to come down to. Also, coaching, as I mentioned, can

562
00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:18.719
<v Speaker 2>the coaching staff put this team in a position to

563
00:38:18.760 --> 00:38:24.480
<v Speaker 2>succeed Last year? There were some lapses that were related

564
00:38:24.480 --> 00:38:26.440
<v Speaker 2>to the coaching staff. For example, as I mentioned in

565
00:38:26.480 --> 00:38:29.480
<v Speaker 2>my article, Raheem Morris was one of my six head

566
00:38:29.480 --> 00:38:33.519
<v Speaker 2>coaches on the hot seat this season and we were

567
00:38:33.559 --> 00:38:37.039
<v Speaker 2>six and three, collapsed, finished eight and nine out of

568
00:38:37.039 --> 00:38:39.880
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs, and that's due to some fisteps he took.

569
00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:43.519
<v Speaker 2>For example, the mishandling of the injury to Kirk Cousins. Yeah,

570
00:38:43.599 --> 00:38:46.159
<v Speaker 2>Kirk was not upfront about his shoulder injury, knowing that

571
00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:49.559
<v Speaker 2>once Pennix came in, he wasn't coming out. But at

572
00:38:49.559 --> 00:38:51.880
<v Speaker 2>the same time, if you're the head coach, you're the

573
00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:55.599
<v Speaker 2>offensive coordinator, you're the quarterbacks coach. You can't see that

574
00:38:55.639 --> 00:38:58.440
<v Speaker 2>this guy's hurt or that this guy's not giving you

575
00:38:58.519 --> 00:39:00.440
<v Speaker 2>the best chance to win. And you've got a top

576
00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:05.280
<v Speaker 2>ten pick on the sidelines waiting right there. Of course,

577
00:39:05.320 --> 00:39:09.239
<v Speaker 2>we all know the issues with clock management against Washington

578
00:39:09.840 --> 00:39:13.880
<v Speaker 2>didn't take that time out. Seems like the defense, which

579
00:39:13.920 --> 00:39:17.199
<v Speaker 2>was his calling card at times, some games just look

580
00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:19.360
<v Speaker 2>like they didn't even show up, like that last game

581
00:39:19.400 --> 00:39:22.119
<v Speaker 2>against Carolina when Bryceon came into our house with the

582
00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:24.840
<v Speaker 2>season on the line and hung forty four on us,

583
00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:28.639
<v Speaker 2>or when we end up losing to a two and

584
00:39:28.719 --> 00:39:31.880
<v Speaker 2>seven Saints team that had just fired their coach. There

585
00:39:31.880 --> 00:39:35.480
<v Speaker 2>were some breakdowns in the secondary there, which is a

586
00:39:35.519 --> 00:39:38.800
<v Speaker 2>secondary which was a secondary with three All pros in it,

587
00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:43.239
<v Speaker 2>aj Terrell, Jesse Bates and last year Justin Simmons. So

588
00:39:44.880 --> 00:39:47.199
<v Speaker 2>we'll see what happens there. But it is a very

589
00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:50.480
<v Speaker 2>consequential season for the Falcons, probably the most we've had

590
00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:53.719
<v Speaker 2>in the last decade or so, because this can go

591
00:39:54.840 --> 00:39:59.119
<v Speaker 2>two ways. The talent is there to make a run

592
00:39:59.760 --> 00:40:05.440
<v Speaker 2>and challenge Tampafore the division. You've got Michael Pennix progressing

593
00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:09.000
<v Speaker 2>as a quarterback, certifying himself as the quarterback of the future.

594
00:40:09.639 --> 00:40:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Drake London, Bajeon Robinson have another have good years again,

595
00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:17.199
<v Speaker 2>and offensive line is steady as it's been the last

596
00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:22.280
<v Speaker 2>few years, and the young players on defense can contribute.

597
00:40:22.639 --> 00:40:26.280
<v Speaker 2>Jalen Walker and James Pearce Junior are as advertised, and

598
00:40:26.480 --> 00:40:31.280
<v Speaker 2>we end up meeting our expectations and making the playoffs,

599
00:40:31.480 --> 00:40:35.320
<v Speaker 2>or this can go a different way. The defense looks bad,

600
00:40:37.239 --> 00:40:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Pennix doesn't progress, which I'm not really all that concerned

601
00:40:40.519 --> 00:40:44.559
<v Speaker 2>about him, or we just look flat at times and

602
00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:47.599
<v Speaker 2>we end up missing the playoffs again. It's kind of

603
00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:51.320
<v Speaker 2>known that for anyone who follows this team, if they

604
00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:54.519
<v Speaker 2>don't make the playoffs this year, the coach and the

605
00:40:54.559 --> 00:40:58.559
<v Speaker 2>general manager are getting fired. The general manager especially considering

606
00:40:58.679 --> 00:41:01.400
<v Speaker 2>this is his fifth year and he has yet to

607
00:41:01.440 --> 00:41:06.400
<v Speaker 2>have a winning season or make the playoffs. So I

608
00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:10.000
<v Speaker 2>feel like it's a two team race between Tampa and Atlanta,

609
00:41:10.960 --> 00:41:14.519
<v Speaker 2>and as much as I want to see Atlanta, I

610
00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:19.280
<v Speaker 2>feel like it can really go either way.

611
00:41:19.880 --> 00:41:29.559
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Okay, Taylor, your thoughts on Yeah NFC, so m.

612
00:41:29.679 --> 00:41:37.639
<v Speaker 3>H Man that that's another tough one at the Buccaneers Falcons, Saints,

613
00:41:37.639 --> 00:41:42.960
<v Speaker 3>and Carolina Panthers. The Carolina Panthers are still the Carolina

614
00:41:43.000 --> 00:41:47.400
<v Speaker 3>Panthers for now. The Saints they still have some good

615
00:41:47.679 --> 00:41:54.280
<v Speaker 3>players on their roster. The Buccaneers and Falcons. The Falcons

616
00:41:54.280 --> 00:42:00.239
<v Speaker 3>are trying to cut back on their choking uh, while

617
00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:06.199
<v Speaker 3>the Buccaneers are still holding the NFC South crown. And

618
00:42:06.679 --> 00:42:08.400
<v Speaker 3>I just think it's going to be a close one.

619
00:42:08.440 --> 00:42:10.639
<v Speaker 3>I think I still think Tampa Bay is going to

620
00:42:10.760 --> 00:42:11.920
<v Speaker 3>take the division.

621
00:42:13.320 --> 00:42:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean it's understandable because again, as I mentioned before,

622
00:42:16.559 --> 00:42:18.840
<v Speaker 2>you could argue that we had a good chance at

623
00:42:18.840 --> 00:42:20.679
<v Speaker 2>winning it last year and the year before, but we

624
00:42:20.760 --> 00:42:22.119
<v Speaker 2>just can't get out of our own way.

625
00:42:23.800 --> 00:42:24.039
<v Speaker 3>Right.

626
00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:28.559
<v Speaker 1>So to give you an idea, the Falcons schedule this year.

627
00:42:28.639 --> 00:42:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Week one against the Buccaneers, two at the Vikings, three

628
00:42:33.719 --> 00:42:38.760
<v Speaker 1>at the Panthers, four versus the Commanders, an early week

629
00:42:38.880 --> 00:42:44.400
<v Speaker 1>five by six against the Bills, Week seven at the

630
00:42:44.440 --> 00:42:49.000
<v Speaker 1>forty nine Ers, Week eight the Dolphins, Week nine at Patriots,

631
00:42:49.639 --> 00:42:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Week ten colt in Berlin, and then there is not

632
00:42:55.400 --> 00:42:58.599
<v Speaker 1>a bye right after that. They come back home week

633
00:42:58.639 --> 00:43:02.440
<v Speaker 1>eleven and pay play the Panthers. Then they go back

634
00:43:02.480 --> 00:43:05.320
<v Speaker 1>on the road week twelve to play the Saints, Week

635
00:43:05.360 --> 00:43:09.800
<v Speaker 1>thirteen at the Jets, Week fourteen the Seahawks, Week fifteen

636
00:43:09.880 --> 00:43:14.480
<v Speaker 1>at Buccaneers, Week sixteen at Cardinals, and then they have

637
00:43:14.519 --> 00:43:18.920
<v Speaker 1>two home games Week seventeen the Rams and Week eighteen

638
00:43:19.400 --> 00:43:20.480
<v Speaker 1>the Saints.

639
00:43:21.159 --> 00:43:25.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, definitely, I feel like it's not to the extent

640
00:43:25.840 --> 00:43:29.519
<v Speaker 2>of last year, but I think those first six games

641
00:43:29.559 --> 00:43:32.280
<v Speaker 2>are definitely tough. Like if we are if we get

642
00:43:32.280 --> 00:43:34.559
<v Speaker 2>out of those first six games at three and three,

643
00:43:35.320 --> 00:43:37.519
<v Speaker 2>I am going to feel good better about the rest

644
00:43:37.519 --> 00:43:42.800
<v Speaker 2>of that season because Miami, New England, Indianapolis, Carolina, and

645
00:43:42.920 --> 00:43:47.239
<v Speaker 2>New Orleans and the Jets are all very gettable ones

646
00:43:47.320 --> 00:43:51.000
<v Speaker 2>for the Falcons. I do like the fact that that

647
00:43:51.159 --> 00:43:56.480
<v Speaker 2>first game against Tampa is at Mercedes Benz Stadium. You

648
00:43:56.559 --> 00:43:59.800
<v Speaker 2>open at home again against your division rival. That's a

649
00:43:59.840 --> 00:44:02.920
<v Speaker 2>good time, you know, make a statement to a team

650
00:44:02.960 --> 00:44:06.440
<v Speaker 2>that you swept last year. And both of those games

651
00:44:06.480 --> 00:44:10.320
<v Speaker 2>really could have gone either way. So I feel like

652
00:44:11.000 --> 00:44:14.239
<v Speaker 2>if you get a win week one, you would be

653
00:44:14.320 --> 00:44:17.159
<v Speaker 2>in a better position because I don't see us winning

654
00:44:17.960 --> 00:44:21.320
<v Speaker 2>that home their home opener in Minnesota. I know there's

655
00:44:21.440 --> 00:44:24.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot of uncertainty life. There is, Michael Pennis, Here

656
00:44:24.039 --> 00:44:28.599
<v Speaker 2>is a lot of uncertainty surrounding JJ McCarthy. But when

657
00:44:28.639 --> 00:44:34.840
<v Speaker 2>it comes to just the coaching matchup between Kevin O'Connell

658
00:44:36.119 --> 00:44:39.599
<v Speaker 2>and the way he just seemingly has a way with quarterbacks.

659
00:44:39.599 --> 00:44:41.800
<v Speaker 2>You look at what he did with Sam Darnold last year.

660
00:44:42.519 --> 00:44:44.320
<v Speaker 2>He was winning games a couple of years ago with

661
00:44:44.400 --> 00:44:48.239
<v Speaker 2>Josh Dobbs. He just seems to have a way with quarterbacks.

662
00:44:48.719 --> 00:44:53.360
<v Speaker 2>And with JJ McCarthy, with that coaching and those weapons,

663
00:44:53.960 --> 00:44:57.000
<v Speaker 2>I think he'll be fine. So I just don't see

664
00:44:57.079 --> 00:45:00.719
<v Speaker 2>us beating Minnesota against the again in that environment. Week

665
00:45:00.719 --> 00:45:05.760
<v Speaker 2>two at their home opener Caroline is another gettable one.

666
00:45:06.480 --> 00:45:09.159
<v Speaker 2>Washington hot take. I think we end up stealing that

667
00:45:09.320 --> 00:45:12.840
<v Speaker 2>one because remember last year, we shouldn't we had them

668
00:45:13.239 --> 00:45:17.320
<v Speaker 2>at their place last year. If Raheem Morris caused that

669
00:45:17.440 --> 00:45:20.320
<v Speaker 2>time out, we're able to get maybe ten to fifteen

670
00:45:20.360 --> 00:45:24.320
<v Speaker 2>more yards. We end up kicking a forty yard field

671
00:45:24.320 --> 00:45:26.960
<v Speaker 2>goal instead of a fifty five yard field goal, and

672
00:45:27.000 --> 00:45:30.039
<v Speaker 2>I think we win that game and beat Carolina the

673
00:45:30.079 --> 00:45:34.079
<v Speaker 2>next week. So but I don't see it's beating Buffalo.

674
00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:38.119
<v Speaker 2>I just don't see that happening. San Francisco is another

675
00:45:38.199 --> 00:45:40.920
<v Speaker 2>tough one. I know a lot of people aren't high

676
00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:44.679
<v Speaker 2>on them, but they are going to be healthier this year,

677
00:45:44.880 --> 00:45:48.719
<v Speaker 2>and you just can't bet against a Kyle Shanahan led team.

678
00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:51.760
<v Speaker 2>So if we get out of there at three and three,

679
00:45:52.199 --> 00:45:54.360
<v Speaker 2>all feel good about the rest of the season.

680
00:45:55.559 --> 00:46:01.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, Next team, Carolina Panthers schedule Week one at

681
00:46:01.679 --> 00:46:05.320
<v Speaker 1>the Jaguars, Week two at Cardinals, Week three, Falcons, Week

682
00:46:05.360 --> 00:46:11.039
<v Speaker 1>four at Patriots, Week five, Dolphins, Week six, Cowboys, Week seven,

683
00:46:11.159 --> 00:46:15.119
<v Speaker 1>at the Jets, Week eight the Bills, Week nine at

684
00:46:15.199 --> 00:46:20.199
<v Speaker 1>the Packers, Week ten the Saints, Week eleven at Falcons,

685
00:46:20.880 --> 00:46:26.239
<v Speaker 1>Week twelve at the forty nine Ers, Week thirteen the Rams,

686
00:46:26.320 --> 00:46:31.880
<v Speaker 1>and then a late week fourteen by fifteen at the Saints,

687
00:46:32.079 --> 00:46:37.440
<v Speaker 1>sixteen the Buccaneers, seventeen the Seahawks, and week eighteen at

688
00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:42.800
<v Speaker 1>the Buccaneers. You know, I would say the Panthers are

689
00:46:42.800 --> 00:46:45.079
<v Speaker 1>probably one of the teams that have the most approved

690
00:46:46.039 --> 00:46:52.079
<v Speaker 1>because they've been trying to improve every year lately, and

691
00:46:54.079 --> 00:46:57.199
<v Speaker 1>with their three of their first four games on the road,

692
00:46:57.280 --> 00:47:01.440
<v Speaker 1>with matchups against quarterbacks Trevor Lawrence, Kyler Murray, and Drake

693
00:47:01.559 --> 00:47:05.280
<v Speaker 1>May in the road, they will provide an early test

694
00:47:05.360 --> 00:47:09.679
<v Speaker 1>for the defense that underwent a makeover this this year,

695
00:47:09.880 --> 00:47:13.039
<v Speaker 1>setting the record for most points allowed in a single

696
00:47:13.119 --> 00:47:18.119
<v Speaker 1>season last year. So I think it'll be interesting. I

697
00:47:18.159 --> 00:47:23.800
<v Speaker 1>think I think they'll be improved, but it depends on

698
00:47:25.559 --> 00:47:28.159
<v Speaker 1>a lot on Bryce Young. Can he build on the

699
00:47:28.199 --> 00:47:31.320
<v Speaker 1>progress that he displayed at the back half of last

700
00:47:31.400 --> 00:47:43.079
<v Speaker 1>year or not. Thoughts on the Panthers guys, mhm, I.

701
00:47:43.039 --> 00:47:46.599
<v Speaker 3>Mean I still I still think the Panthers are going

702
00:47:46.679 --> 00:47:49.840
<v Speaker 3>to be in the bottom bottom cellar of the NFC South,

703
00:47:50.199 --> 00:47:55.400
<v Speaker 3>below the Saints. I thought I was talking about the

704
00:47:55.440 --> 00:47:57.400
<v Speaker 3>Carolina Panthers. That's what Candy asked us.

705
00:47:57.599 --> 00:47:59.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, like you think they'll be below the Saints.

706
00:48:00.199 --> 00:48:06.039
<v Speaker 3>Yes, okay, because the Saints still have good players, like

707
00:48:06.079 --> 00:48:07.000
<v Speaker 3>I pointed out.

708
00:48:07.760 --> 00:48:09.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they do, but I just feel like they're

709
00:48:09.639 --> 00:48:16.960
<v Speaker 2>getting older. It's yeah. And then I guess you could

710
00:48:16.960 --> 00:48:20.000
<v Speaker 2>say that Kellen Moore is an upgrade from It's probably

711
00:48:20.000 --> 00:48:22.760
<v Speaker 2>an upgrade from Dennis Allen. But I mean, is that

712
00:48:22.840 --> 00:48:24.639
<v Speaker 2>really say much? Dennis Allen was horrible.

713
00:48:25.159 --> 00:48:25.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but.

714
00:48:27.159 --> 00:48:27.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean a.

715
00:48:27.679 --> 00:48:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Quarterback, like I mean, I don't know. The Tyler Show.

716
00:48:32.039 --> 00:48:35.599
<v Speaker 1>Do you think he's gonna you know, with Derek Coward's retirement,

717
00:48:35.880 --> 00:48:41.639
<v Speaker 1>do you think I don't know. I think Tyler can

718
00:48:41.679 --> 00:48:42.000
<v Speaker 1>do it.

719
00:48:43.239 --> 00:48:49.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, but like I just feel like with

720
00:48:49.559 --> 00:48:53.079
<v Speaker 2>Bryce Young, Dave Canalison, the way their offense looked at

721
00:48:53.079 --> 00:48:56.119
<v Speaker 2>the end of last year, and you add a Teed

722
00:48:56.239 --> 00:49:04.480
<v Speaker 2>McMillan to the equation already. I just like their offensive

723
00:49:05.079 --> 00:49:11.320
<v Speaker 2>foundation right now over the Saints because you've got Alvin Kamara, who's,

724
00:49:11.679 --> 00:49:15.559
<v Speaker 2>while still good, he's getting up there now. Chris Elive

725
00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:19.360
<v Speaker 2>can't stay healthy, Rashid Shahid is coming off a season

726
00:49:19.440 --> 00:49:22.920
<v Speaker 2>ending injury. But it seems like they are rebuilding that

727
00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:28.639
<v Speaker 2>offensive line, which is wait, did you say something, no, no,

728
00:49:29.199 --> 00:49:31.599
<v Speaker 2>But it seems like they are rebuilding that offensive line,

729
00:49:31.599 --> 00:49:34.840
<v Speaker 2>which is you know something you always which is I

730
00:49:34.880 --> 00:49:37.239
<v Speaker 2>think where you start when you are rebuilding a team

731
00:49:37.280 --> 00:49:39.480
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL, you start on the inside out. So

732
00:49:39.639 --> 00:49:43.480
<v Speaker 2>credit to them for that, But I just see I

733
00:49:43.480 --> 00:49:45.920
<v Speaker 2>think they're going to be a bottom five team in

734
00:49:45.960 --> 00:49:51.880
<v Speaker 2>the entire NFL this year. I'm just not sold on them.

735
00:49:51.920 --> 00:49:55.800
<v Speaker 1>So the Saints their schedule. Week one is at home

736
00:49:55.880 --> 00:49:58.320
<v Speaker 1>versus the Coldoninals. Week two is the forty nine ers,

737
00:49:58.320 --> 00:50:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Week three at Seahawks, four at Bills. Week five the

738
00:50:02.960 --> 00:50:08.159
<v Speaker 1>Giants six, the Patriots seven at Bears eight. The Buccaneers,

739
00:50:08.280 --> 00:50:13.159
<v Speaker 1>week nine at Rams, ten at Panthers, Week eleven is Thereby,

740
00:50:14.039 --> 00:50:18.320
<v Speaker 1>Week twelve is the Falcons, Week thirteen at Dolphins, week

741
00:50:18.360 --> 00:50:24.159
<v Speaker 1>fourteen at Buccaneers, week fifteen the Panthers, Week sixteen the Jets,

742
00:50:24.639 --> 00:50:29.280
<v Speaker 1>seventeen at the Titans, and week eighteen at the Falcons.

743
00:50:32.000 --> 00:50:36.239
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think I think it'll be really interesting

744
00:50:36.280 --> 00:50:40.400
<v Speaker 1>to see. I think Kellen Moore is a very good

745
00:50:40.559 --> 00:50:45.440
<v Speaker 1>offensive minded now whether that translates to a good head coach,

746
00:50:46.480 --> 00:50:50.719
<v Speaker 1>and with the talent or lack thereof that I think

747
00:50:50.800 --> 00:50:55.159
<v Speaker 1>New Orleans has. I don't see them doing a whole

748
00:50:55.199 --> 00:51:00.320
<v Speaker 1>lot this year. I just don't. I think the Panthers

749
00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:04.559
<v Speaker 1>will easily take them over. I think the Panthers. If

750
00:51:04.559 --> 00:51:07.719
<v Speaker 1>we watched the last half of last season, I think

751
00:51:07.760 --> 00:51:11.480
<v Speaker 1>the Panthers were much improved. And I only think that

752
00:51:11.599 --> 00:51:16.440
<v Speaker 1>I'll keep going up. I Yeah, I don't think the

753
00:51:16.519 --> 00:51:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Saints are gonna in my opinion, I don't think they're

754
00:51:19.880 --> 00:51:20.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna do well this year.

755
00:51:21.880 --> 00:51:24.639
<v Speaker 3>No, I don't think either team's gonna do well this

756
00:51:24.719 --> 00:51:25.159
<v Speaker 3>year either.

757
00:51:26.679 --> 00:51:28.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, as I mentioned, it'll be a two team race

758
00:51:28.559 --> 00:51:31.239
<v Speaker 2>between US and Tampa. And while the bias to me,

759
00:51:32.239 --> 00:51:35.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to give it Atlanta the edge barely because

760
00:51:35.519 --> 00:51:40.079
<v Speaker 2>it just feels like with the draft they had, they

761
00:51:40.159 --> 00:51:43.519
<v Speaker 2>finally got it right, like they finally addressed the thing,

762
00:51:43.719 --> 00:51:48.039
<v Speaker 2>the main thing that's hurt them for the past twelve

763
00:51:48.079 --> 00:51:52.519
<v Speaker 2>thirteen years, and that's been the pass rush, and it's

764
00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:55.199
<v Speaker 2>not been the quarterbacks. I think it's been the passers

765
00:51:55.239 --> 00:51:58.159
<v Speaker 2>more than it has been quarterback play. You could argue,

766
00:51:58.880 --> 00:52:01.280
<v Speaker 2>but if Michael Penn is what we think he is,

767
00:52:01.360 --> 00:52:05.079
<v Speaker 2>and if we can get a combined maybe ten and

768
00:52:05.119 --> 00:52:08.320
<v Speaker 2>a half eleven sacks from Jalen Walker and James Pierce Junior,

769
00:52:08.360 --> 00:52:11.760
<v Speaker 2>because there is usually a year or so learning curve

770
00:52:11.960 --> 00:52:17.679
<v Speaker 2>for defensive ends in the NFL, and the secondary is

771
00:52:17.679 --> 00:52:21.239
<v Speaker 2>as advertised with Jesse Bates aj Terrell. Now you've got

772
00:52:21.400 --> 00:52:26.679
<v Speaker 2>Xavier Watson the equation, possibly Billy Bowman at Nickel, I think,

773
00:52:27.360 --> 00:52:30.559
<v Speaker 2>and then you have you replace you add Divine Diablo,

774
00:52:31.719 --> 00:52:33.760
<v Speaker 2>who like who we have right now, and Troy Anderson

775
00:52:33.840 --> 00:52:37.280
<v Speaker 2>has the speed athleticism but just can't seem to put

776
00:52:37.280 --> 00:52:39.679
<v Speaker 2>it all together. So that's really where my question mark

777
00:52:39.719 --> 00:52:41.800
<v Speaker 2>is with this team because you've got Kaden Ellis, but

778
00:52:42.800 --> 00:52:45.440
<v Speaker 2>our linebacker inside linebacker room outside of that is a

779
00:52:45.440 --> 00:52:49.559
<v Speaker 2>big question mark. Then another thing that concerns me about

780
00:52:49.559 --> 00:52:52.360
<v Speaker 2>the Falcons is our interior D line. We did lose

781
00:52:52.400 --> 00:52:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Grady Jarrett, and while he wasn't a twenty million dollar

782
00:52:56.000 --> 00:52:59.360
<v Speaker 2>year defensive tackle anymore, he was still serviceable and he

783
00:52:59.400 --> 00:53:02.519
<v Speaker 2>was still productive, especially against the run. I feel like,

784
00:53:03.320 --> 00:53:05.599
<v Speaker 2>so those are big shoes for guys like Ruka ro

785
00:53:05.760 --> 00:53:08.440
<v Speaker 2>ro Row Brandon Dori was to fill you got David

786
00:53:08.519 --> 00:53:11.159
<v Speaker 2>on your mode is still in the fold. So that's

787
00:53:11.159 --> 00:53:14.719
<v Speaker 2>where my question mark is on defense with the Falcons.

788
00:53:15.519 --> 00:53:18.559
<v Speaker 2>And then at center, something a lot of people aren't

789
00:53:18.599 --> 00:53:21.440
<v Speaker 2>talking about. We lost Drew Dallman, who was one of

790
00:53:21.480 --> 00:53:25.880
<v Speaker 2>the best run blocking centers in the NFL and he

791
00:53:26.719 --> 00:53:31.519
<v Speaker 2>played a big role in facilitating the run game. We've

792
00:53:31.559 --> 00:53:34.000
<v Speaker 2>had the last couple of years with Tyler Raljier and

793
00:53:34.039 --> 00:53:38.199
<v Speaker 2>eventually Jon Robinson in the fold. And now Ryan Newzil

794
00:53:38.320 --> 00:53:41.320
<v Speaker 2>comes in and he was okay in the seven or

795
00:53:41.320 --> 00:53:44.360
<v Speaker 2>eight starts last year, but the issue was he was

796
00:53:45.320 --> 00:53:48.480
<v Speaker 2>the most penalized center in the NFL and not as

797
00:53:48.480 --> 00:53:50.559
<v Speaker 2>good of a run blocker as Drew Dalmen was. So

798
00:53:50.599 --> 00:53:54.719
<v Speaker 2>we'll see what happens there. So it's really center into

799
00:53:54.840 --> 00:53:59.840
<v Speaker 2>an interior D line and coaching. Those are my things,

800
00:54:00.800 --> 00:54:03.719
<v Speaker 2>and of course, as I mentioned, whether or not the

801
00:54:03.760 --> 00:54:06.280
<v Speaker 2>young players on defense we already had in the building

802
00:54:06.800 --> 00:54:08.239
<v Speaker 2>take that next step. So those are the things that,

803
00:54:08.280 --> 00:54:11.440
<v Speaker 2>in my opinion, will determine who wins the NFC South.

804
00:54:12.079 --> 00:54:15.119
<v Speaker 2>If two of those things go our way, I think

805
00:54:15.199 --> 00:54:17.880
<v Speaker 2>we win it. But if not, and it's still the

806
00:54:17.960 --> 00:54:20.719
<v Speaker 2>same old that we've seen the last seven years, then

807
00:54:20.760 --> 00:54:21.920
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be Tampa again.

808
00:54:23.719 --> 00:54:27.639
<v Speaker 1>So JD thinks the Falcons could win the division. You

809
00:54:27.719 --> 00:54:30.320
<v Speaker 1>expect the Panthers to be close and competitive, but not

810
00:54:30.440 --> 00:54:34.920
<v Speaker 1>quite there yet. Winner of the division will be ten

811
00:54:34.960 --> 00:54:37.719
<v Speaker 1>and seven, second will be nine and eight, Third will

812
00:54:37.719 --> 00:54:40.199
<v Speaker 1>be seven and ten, Saints will be six and eleven.

813
00:54:40.599 --> 00:54:43.760
<v Speaker 1>So really the whole division only will only be separated

814
00:54:43.840 --> 00:54:48.840
<v Speaker 1>by four games. Let's I'm want to quick read off

815
00:54:48.880 --> 00:54:53.280
<v Speaker 1>to you the Buccaneers schedule. Week one is at the Falcons,

816
00:54:53.320 --> 00:54:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Week two is at Texans, Week three is the Jets,

817
00:54:57.079 --> 00:55:02.280
<v Speaker 1>Week four is the Eagles, Week five at Seahawks. Week

818
00:55:02.440 --> 00:55:06.000
<v Speaker 1>six is the forty nine Ers. Week seven is at

819
00:55:06.039 --> 00:55:11.280
<v Speaker 1>the Lions. Week eight is at the Saints. Week nine

820
00:55:11.800 --> 00:55:16.480
<v Speaker 1>almost perfectly placed there is thereby. Week ten is the Patriots.

821
00:55:16.599 --> 00:55:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Eleven is at the Bills, twelve at the Rams, thirteen

822
00:55:21.079 --> 00:55:25.519
<v Speaker 1>is the Cardinals, fourteen is the Saints, fifteen is the Falcons,

823
00:55:26.000 --> 00:55:30.559
<v Speaker 1>sixteen is at Panthers, seventeen is at Dolphins, and week

824
00:55:30.679 --> 00:55:35.159
<v Speaker 1>eighteen is Panthers. The one things I will say about

825
00:55:35.599 --> 00:55:39.679
<v Speaker 1>that the dates with Houston, Philadelphia, Detroit, all Land within

826
00:55:39.719 --> 00:55:42.880
<v Speaker 1>the first seven weeks. If they're searching for tests, they

827
00:55:42.920 --> 00:55:47.400
<v Speaker 1>won't have to wait long. The other thing I will

828
00:55:47.440 --> 00:55:49.719
<v Speaker 1>say is they're going to rack up their air miles

829
00:55:49.760 --> 00:55:53.079
<v Speaker 1>because Tampa Bay will fly to the West coast twice

830
00:55:53.440 --> 00:55:57.760
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty five, and both games will present challenges.

831
00:55:58.559 --> 00:56:01.000
<v Speaker 1>I think they have a tough that sounds to me

832
00:56:01.079 --> 00:56:04.559
<v Speaker 1>like a very tough schedule. Anytime you're going to play

833
00:56:04.599 --> 00:56:07.639
<v Speaker 1>the Super Bowl champions, the Eagles, you're going to play

834
00:56:07.679 --> 00:56:11.280
<v Speaker 1>at Seattle at the Lions. The Lions have been playing

835
00:56:11.320 --> 00:56:15.239
<v Speaker 1>good as of late. I think their toughest test is

836
00:56:15.320 --> 00:56:20.599
<v Speaker 1>obviously going to be their games before the bye. If

837
00:56:20.639 --> 00:56:24.480
<v Speaker 1>they can manage to do pretty well in that, then yes,

838
00:56:24.599 --> 00:56:26.960
<v Speaker 1>they have a chance to take the division. But I

839
00:56:27.000 --> 00:56:33.960
<v Speaker 1>think that is a tough schedule for them. Any thoughts.

840
00:56:36.679 --> 00:56:42.880
<v Speaker 3>On their schedule, Well, yeah, the Eagles, you cannot beat them.

841
00:56:43.000 --> 00:56:48.440
<v Speaker 3>The Lions, sure they're a good team too. They're still

842
00:56:49.119 --> 00:56:53.360
<v Speaker 3>trying to work on ball security and whatnot. They no

843
00:56:53.480 --> 00:56:55.719
<v Speaker 3>longer have Ben Johnson. They have John Morten as their

844
00:56:55.760 --> 00:56:59.400
<v Speaker 3>offensive coordinator and he's trying to address the ball security

845
00:56:59.440 --> 00:57:05.119
<v Speaker 3>or lack there. Of the the other good teams that

846
00:57:05.119 --> 00:57:08.920
<v Speaker 3>the Buccaneers are trying to face, there'll be a challenge.

847
00:57:09.639 --> 00:57:14.559
<v Speaker 3>But I would I would say, uh oh man, that's

848
00:57:14.599 --> 00:57:18.639
<v Speaker 3>a tough one. I still I'd still say the Buccaneers

849
00:57:18.679 --> 00:57:21.239
<v Speaker 3>are going to win the NFC South. Sorry, some air,

850
00:57:21.360 --> 00:57:24.800
<v Speaker 3>but I think the Bucketeers are going to go ten

851
00:57:24.800 --> 00:57:25.280
<v Speaker 3>and seven.

852
00:57:27.719 --> 00:57:33.199
<v Speaker 2>That's that's understandable. I feel like if you want respect,

853
00:57:33.199 --> 00:57:35.239
<v Speaker 2>you got to earn it. And you know, we look

854
00:57:35.280 --> 00:57:40.639
<v Speaker 2>good on paper, but okay, now what we gotta.

855
00:57:40.480 --> 00:57:42.400
<v Speaker 3>Go to petition prove it on the field.

856
00:57:45.679 --> 00:57:47.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we we've looked on paper the last couple

857
00:57:47.920 --> 00:57:50.559
<v Speaker 2>of years, and I don't know anything with you.

858
00:57:50.639 --> 00:57:57.480
<v Speaker 1>So I can't stand in the NFL back floating division

859
00:57:57.639 --> 00:58:01.440
<v Speaker 1>rivals like they do with the Steelers and Ravens, same teams.

860
00:58:04.000 --> 00:58:10.519
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm. Well, guys, unless you guys have anything more

861
00:58:10.639 --> 00:58:16.039
<v Speaker 1>to add about the NFC South, I think it's time

862
00:58:16.199 --> 00:58:22.079
<v Speaker 1>to go to my town, all right, Taylor, go ahead,

863
00:58:22.400 --> 00:58:22.920
<v Speaker 1>go for it.

864
00:58:23.400 --> 00:58:26.639
<v Speaker 3>So the Tigers before their all start break last weekend

865
00:58:26.679 --> 00:58:31.159
<v Speaker 3>got swept by the Seattle Maters. They got routed the

866
00:58:31.239 --> 00:58:34.199
<v Speaker 3>first two games. Speak not only because of their bullpen,

867
00:58:34.639 --> 00:58:38.920
<v Speaker 3>their terrible bullpen, but they're their lack of coaching, but

868
00:58:39.239 --> 00:58:45.400
<v Speaker 3>lack of scouting by their coaching staff minus a J. Hinch. Yeah,

869
00:58:45.440 --> 00:58:49.320
<v Speaker 3>they yet made they made some adjustments before Sunday's eight

870
00:58:49.360 --> 00:58:51.760
<v Speaker 3>to four lost to the Seattle Manners. They just kept

871
00:58:51.840 --> 00:58:56.079
<v Speaker 3>underrest that Tommy Canley just kept throwing too many changeups.

872
00:58:56.400 --> 00:59:01.039
<v Speaker 3>But the Tigers still yet have the best best recond

873
00:59:01.039 --> 00:59:03.800
<v Speaker 3>all of Major League Baseball, but just barely. But for

874
00:59:03.880 --> 00:59:07.760
<v Speaker 3>the Lions, they of course put some players on the pup.

875
00:59:08.760 --> 00:59:11.960
<v Speaker 3>The biggest surprise Taylor Decker being put on there, but

876
00:59:12.039 --> 00:59:16.480
<v Speaker 3>Allen McNeil, Mcott, Malcolm Rodriguez understandably have to be put

877
00:59:16.559 --> 00:59:23.679
<v Speaker 3>on the pup and other things like that. The Red

878
00:59:23.679 --> 00:59:28.440
<v Speaker 3>Wings they got John Gibson, Pistons, they got new players

879
00:59:28.440 --> 00:59:35.400
<v Speaker 3>like Duncan Robinson. Football's coming up. Also college football, the

880
00:59:35.639 --> 00:59:38.840
<v Speaker 3>Michigan and Michigan Michigan Wolverines and Michigan State Sparts. The

881
00:59:38.880 --> 00:59:42.599
<v Speaker 3>Wolverings are going to have finally, they finally have a quarterback,

882
00:59:42.639 --> 00:59:46.400
<v Speaker 3>Bryce Underwood the Michigan State Spartans. They still have work

883
00:59:46.480 --> 00:59:51.639
<v Speaker 3>to do, but man, I can't wait for that MLB

884
00:59:51.760 --> 00:59:54.719
<v Speaker 3>non Weaver trade Daneline and see what Tigers. The Tiger's

885
00:59:54.760 --> 00:59:58.719
<v Speaker 3>front office floating Scott Harrison, Jeff Greenberg and the owner

886
00:59:58.800 --> 01:00:03.960
<v Speaker 3>Chris Silic haven't have in mind because they got to

887
01:00:04.000 --> 01:00:07.760
<v Speaker 3>get rid of some of their players that suck, let

888
01:00:07.800 --> 01:00:15.119
<v Speaker 3>alone Tray Sweeney and Carlos Hernandez or something like that.

889
01:00:15.159 --> 01:00:18.719
<v Speaker 3>They need bullpen help, period. They need a catcher to

890
01:00:18.800 --> 01:00:22.920
<v Speaker 3>replace Jake Rogers. They need two starting pitchers to replace

891
01:00:24.639 --> 01:00:27.840
<v Speaker 3>Jack Flaherty and Jackson job who's out for the rest

892
01:00:27.880 --> 01:00:31.000
<v Speaker 3>of the season. Jack Flaherty has been struggling out there.

893
01:00:31.519 --> 01:00:35.199
<v Speaker 3>Plus they need, of course Alex Bregman and some more

894
01:00:35.280 --> 01:00:38.480
<v Speaker 3>offense because Tray Sweeney is definitely not going to be

895
01:00:38.559 --> 01:00:42.800
<v Speaker 3>the answer whichever position he plays, especially shortstop. How do

896
01:00:42.840 --> 01:00:46.960
<v Speaker 3>your bias has been improving? Of course?

897
01:00:47.440 --> 01:00:47.679
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

898
01:00:47.760 --> 01:00:50.440
<v Speaker 3>Carry Carpenter can't wait for him to return from the

899
01:00:50.480 --> 01:00:56.679
<v Speaker 3>I L of course, But I I'm just looking for

900
01:00:56.920 --> 01:00:59.960
<v Speaker 3>Trek Scoobel to make some adjustments. They all start breaking

901
01:01:01.079 --> 01:01:03.679
<v Speaker 3>give at least give the Tigers some time to refocus

902
01:01:03.719 --> 01:01:10.599
<v Speaker 3>and rethink and re redo what whatever. But they they

903
01:01:10.639 --> 01:01:15.719
<v Speaker 3>need bullpen help, they need a lot of stuff. Uh catcher,

904
01:01:15.920 --> 01:01:20.519
<v Speaker 3>two starting pitchers, bullpen help, a bat, Alex Bregman, they

905
01:01:20.519 --> 01:01:23.440
<v Speaker 3>need like almost everything. That's it.

906
01:01:25.320 --> 01:01:28.639
<v Speaker 1>Okay the mirror, what's happening in your towne?

907
01:01:30.119 --> 01:01:34.599
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah? So Atlanta Falcons training camp starts next week,

908
01:01:35.519 --> 01:01:40.239
<v Speaker 2>next Thursday. That's when everyone's going to be there and

909
01:01:40.280 --> 01:01:42.639
<v Speaker 2>we're going to get a good look at what this team,

910
01:01:43.760 --> 01:01:45.519
<v Speaker 2>how this team is going to be set up going

911
01:01:45.559 --> 01:01:51.039
<v Speaker 2>into the season. Some competitions to watch out for one

912
01:01:51.039 --> 01:01:53.920
<v Speaker 2>that no one's talking about, it's gonna happen at kicker

913
01:01:55.239 --> 01:02:01.119
<v Speaker 2>Young Waykup has struggled the last couple of years. After

914
01:02:01.199 --> 01:02:03.599
<v Speaker 2>he hit that game winning fifty eight to fifty nine

915
01:02:03.679 --> 01:02:06.760
<v Speaker 2>yard field goal against New Orleans Week four, he just

916
01:02:06.760 --> 01:02:09.679
<v Speaker 2>seemed to struggle, missed a lot of field goals that

917
01:02:09.719 --> 01:02:14.280
<v Speaker 2>he would usually make. And and I think, as we

918
01:02:14.360 --> 01:02:18.239
<v Speaker 2>know in the NFL, the life of Alasia kicker has

919
01:02:18.320 --> 01:02:21.760
<v Speaker 2>is pretty short because every team is in need of kickers.

920
01:02:21.760 --> 01:02:24.239
<v Speaker 2>Every team is looking for kickers. So they did sign

921
01:02:24.880 --> 01:02:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Lenny Kreig from Germany, and notably they gave him a

922
01:02:29.480 --> 01:02:33.719
<v Speaker 2>three year deal. So it seems like Raheem Morris has

923
01:02:33.719 --> 01:02:37.400
<v Speaker 2>acknowledged it. Special teams coach Marquise Williams has acknowledged it.

924
01:02:37.679 --> 01:02:41.800
<v Speaker 2>There will be a competition at that position. So if

925
01:02:41.920 --> 01:02:44.880
<v Speaker 2>ku wins it, which it seems like he's the favorite

926
01:02:44.960 --> 01:02:47.800
<v Speaker 2>rit to do so, given that his hip is better, now,

927
01:02:48.440 --> 01:02:50.719
<v Speaker 2>seems like Kre will just be on the practice squad.

928
01:02:51.239 --> 01:02:55.519
<v Speaker 2>Another one is at nickel. They did bring back the

929
01:02:55.679 --> 01:03:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Alfred who definitely struggled in coverage last season, got penalized, life,

930
01:03:00.679 --> 01:03:06.559
<v Speaker 2>gave up, gave up a lot of touchdowns. Yeah, but

931
01:03:06.639 --> 01:03:08.360
<v Speaker 2>it seems like he's he's going to be more of

932
01:03:08.400 --> 01:03:11.239
<v Speaker 2>a depth piece this year and he is going to

933
01:03:11.320 --> 01:03:16.039
<v Speaker 2>be behind Clark Phillips, who's back third year corner. And

934
01:03:16.079 --> 01:03:18.599
<v Speaker 2>then it seems like right now the coaching staff has

935
01:03:18.679 --> 01:03:22.599
<v Speaker 2>spoken very highly of Billy Bowman. He was a safety

936
01:03:22.880 --> 01:03:26.840
<v Speaker 2>at Oklahoma, but he was illicited safety to Oklahoma but played

937
01:03:26.880 --> 01:03:28.639
<v Speaker 2>a lot of Nicolason. It seems like that is the

938
01:03:28.760 --> 01:03:31.559
<v Speaker 2>plan for him here. So it seems like if there

939
01:03:31.639 --> 01:03:33.760
<v Speaker 2>is a favorite to win that job, I would say

940
01:03:33.760 --> 01:03:38.559
<v Speaker 2>it's Billy Bowman. With the Hawks, Summer league balls started.

941
01:03:39.480 --> 01:03:43.880
<v Speaker 2>They are four to zero. Ason Newle has shown some

942
01:03:44.079 --> 01:03:46.880
<v Speaker 2>signs of a guy that can be a solid player

943
01:03:46.880 --> 01:03:50.280
<v Speaker 2>in the NBA. Given to this summer league, and you know,

944
01:03:50.920 --> 01:03:55.000
<v Speaker 2>it's not really a clear picture, but the signs are encouraging.

945
01:03:56.320 --> 01:04:00.760
<v Speaker 2>Kobe Buffkin has been very underwhelming, to say the least.

946
01:04:00.840 --> 01:04:03.519
<v Speaker 2>That's a guy we were hoping to be our backup

947
01:04:03.519 --> 01:04:05.760
<v Speaker 2>point guard. First round picked him a couple of years ago.

948
01:04:07.599 --> 01:04:11.360
<v Speaker 2>Unfortunately for him, he hasn't been able to stay healthy.

949
01:04:11.599 --> 01:04:14.639
<v Speaker 2>But it seems like this might be his shot to

950
01:04:14.639 --> 01:04:17.320
<v Speaker 2>submit himself when maybe he is part of the tray

951
01:04:17.400 --> 01:04:24.519
<v Speaker 2>deal in so with the Atlanta Braves. They did win

952
01:04:24.559 --> 01:04:27.519
<v Speaker 2>a series in Saint Louis against the Cardinals before the

953
01:04:27.599 --> 01:04:32.840
<v Speaker 2>All Star Break. I think for anyone who's paying attention

954
01:04:33.000 --> 01:04:36.280
<v Speaker 2>knows that this season has been an absolute disaster on

955
01:04:36.360 --> 01:04:40.480
<v Speaker 2>the field for the team. The The only bright spots

956
01:04:40.480 --> 01:04:46.280
<v Speaker 2>have been Ronald Acuna, Junior, Drake Baldwin and the all

957
01:04:46.320 --> 01:04:51.519
<v Speaker 2>An All Star Week, which was an absolute hit. From

958
01:04:51.559 --> 01:04:54.679
<v Speaker 2>the festivities the home run derby to the game itself,

959
01:04:56.000 --> 01:04:59.840
<v Speaker 2>it was an absolute hit. There are eleven games under

960
01:04:59.840 --> 01:05:04.559
<v Speaker 2>five five hundred. Given the state of the National League East,

961
01:05:04.800 --> 01:05:07.039
<v Speaker 2>and the National League Wild Card in general, and the

962
01:05:07.079 --> 01:05:12.119
<v Speaker 2>teams that are in front of us the Braves, it

963
01:05:12.159 --> 01:05:15.400
<v Speaker 2>seems like are all signs point to the Braves missing

964
01:05:15.400 --> 01:05:19.280
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs for the first time since twenty seventeen. When

965
01:05:19.280 --> 01:05:23.239
<v Speaker 2>Truest Park first opened, Freddie Freeman was playing a little

966
01:05:23.239 --> 01:05:27.280
<v Speaker 2>bit of third base, Matt Adams was at first, we

967
01:05:27.360 --> 01:05:31.719
<v Speaker 2>had Bartolo Cologne in our rotation, and Ozzy Alby's was

968
01:05:31.760 --> 01:05:34.199
<v Speaker 2>a rookie. It'll be interesting to see what they do

969
01:05:34.239 --> 01:05:37.880
<v Speaker 2>with the deadline. Double A has already stated that where

970
01:05:37.920 --> 01:05:41.039
<v Speaker 2>Alexanthopolis has already stated that they are not going to

971
01:05:41.119 --> 01:05:44.679
<v Speaker 2>move any players who are locked in after twenty five,

972
01:05:44.800 --> 01:05:48.480
<v Speaker 2>So it doesn't seem like Ozzie's going anywhere. Michael Harris

973
01:05:48.559 --> 01:05:52.039
<v Speaker 2>with that, with how bad he's been at the plate,

974
01:05:52.519 --> 01:05:55.800
<v Speaker 2>still doesn't seem like he's going anywhere. Austin rally, so

975
01:05:55.800 --> 01:05:59.159
<v Speaker 2>it seemed like that course staying together. But I would

976
01:05:59.239 --> 01:06:03.119
<v Speaker 2>definitely look out for Marcelo Zuna to get moved. He's

977
01:06:03.159 --> 01:06:06.719
<v Speaker 2>got an expiring contract and team wants to add a

978
01:06:06.800 --> 01:06:09.320
<v Speaker 2>DH even though he has been underwhelming this year with

979
01:06:09.400 --> 01:06:12.159
<v Speaker 2>his hip due to his hip injury. That could be

980
01:06:12.199 --> 01:06:15.880
<v Speaker 2>a guy they moved right, Seal Iglacias. He was there closed,

981
01:06:15.920 --> 01:06:17.639
<v Speaker 2>he was our close in the last couple of years,

982
01:06:17.679 --> 01:06:21.599
<v Speaker 2>hadn't been very good, moved into a setup role. Now

983
01:06:22.119 --> 01:06:26.119
<v Speaker 2>it's been a little better. It closed the last couple

984
01:06:26.119 --> 01:06:28.639
<v Speaker 2>of games in Saint Louis, so we'll see what happens there.

985
01:06:29.039 --> 01:06:31.880
<v Speaker 2>That's another guy look at to get moved, possibly Dylan Lee,

986
01:06:31.920 --> 01:06:36.119
<v Speaker 2>another reliever we could get something in return. Four and

987
01:06:36.239 --> 01:06:39.320
<v Speaker 2>a wild card to look out for. If they do

988
01:06:39.599 --> 01:06:44.400
<v Speaker 2>end up moving a player who has signed past this season,

989
01:06:45.000 --> 01:06:49.159
<v Speaker 2>it would be Sean Murphy, depending on what they can

990
01:06:49.159 --> 01:06:51.920
<v Speaker 2>get back for him. If they can get a good

991
01:06:51.960 --> 01:06:56.480
<v Speaker 2>prospect or two back for Sean Murphy and and find

992
01:06:56.519 --> 01:07:00.280
<v Speaker 2>a way to have Drake Baldwin in the line up

993
01:07:00.480 --> 01:07:03.559
<v Speaker 2>behind the plate every day, that's something they could possibly do.

994
01:07:04.639 --> 01:07:07.559
<v Speaker 2>But my guess is they will not be moving Sean

995
01:07:07.639 --> 01:07:12.679
<v Speaker 2>Murphy and Austin Raley also got hurt right before the

996
01:07:12.719 --> 01:07:16.159
<v Speaker 2>All Star break. So Nacho Alvarez has been playing third

997
01:07:16.239 --> 01:07:19.920
<v Speaker 2>twenty two years old. He's looked okay so far for

998
01:07:20.039 --> 01:07:23.119
<v Speaker 2>the small handful of games he's played, and most notably,

999
01:07:23.159 --> 01:07:26.440
<v Speaker 2>the MLB Draft was last week, and for the first

1000
01:07:26.480 --> 01:07:30.639
<v Speaker 2>time since twenty nineteen, the Braves took a position player

1001
01:07:30.679 --> 01:07:35.079
<v Speaker 2>in the first round, Tate south is Seeing out of

1002
01:07:35.119 --> 01:07:39.519
<v Speaker 2>a prep shortstop of a high school in Nevada, and

1003
01:07:39.559 --> 01:07:43.920
<v Speaker 2>then they end up getting Alex Lodes, another shortstop out

1004
01:07:43.920 --> 01:07:47.559
<v Speaker 2>of Florida State. They go shortstop again in the third

1005
01:07:47.639 --> 01:07:51.719
<v Speaker 2>round in Cody Miller before getting a pitcher, Briggs Mackenzie.

1006
01:07:52.440 --> 01:07:55.920
<v Speaker 2>So all four of them have been signed. They've also

1007
01:07:56.039 --> 01:07:59.440
<v Speaker 2>signed for more of their draft picks. So eight draft

1008
01:07:59.440 --> 01:08:03.280
<v Speaker 2>picks happened signed, They've got to sign twelve more. So

1009
01:08:03.320 --> 01:08:06.840
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna be interesting to see how they distribute the

1010
01:08:06.880 --> 01:08:10.159
<v Speaker 2>money from then on. And that's it for my.

1011
01:08:10.199 --> 01:08:18.000
<v Speaker 3>Town, Candy, h m hmm, all that, Yeah, Samir just finished.

1012
01:08:18.840 --> 01:08:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Yep, Nope, what I was gonna say, my town. So

1013
01:08:25.279 --> 01:08:29.159
<v Speaker 1>I first want to say kudos to the Pittsburgh Steelers

1014
01:08:29.199 --> 01:08:34.479
<v Speaker 1>for signing and agreeing with TJ. Watt on a historic

1015
01:08:34.600 --> 01:08:38.399
<v Speaker 1>three three year, one hundred and twenty three million dollar extension.

1016
01:08:39.319 --> 01:08:45.720
<v Speaker 1>He has been the face of your defense and kudos

1017
01:08:45.760 --> 01:08:49.760
<v Speaker 1>for you for recognizing that and making him giving him

1018
01:08:49.800 --> 01:08:56.159
<v Speaker 1>the extension. Now, as opposed to my town, the Brewers

1019
01:08:56.239 --> 01:09:04.039
<v Speaker 1>are notorious for being at the top during the regular season.

1020
01:09:04.600 --> 01:09:07.560
<v Speaker 1>They are again are they're a little bit behind the Cubs.

1021
01:09:08.159 --> 01:09:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Question is will they overtake the Cubs or not. They

1022
01:09:12.600 --> 01:09:16.359
<v Speaker 1>got a little bit of big pitching boost right before

1023
01:09:17.000 --> 01:09:20.239
<v Speaker 1>the All Star break with Woodruff coming back pitching his

1024
01:09:20.279 --> 01:09:24.840
<v Speaker 1>first time in almost two years. It seems it was

1025
01:09:24.880 --> 01:09:29.720
<v Speaker 1>like a long, long, long time. Obviously, we have pitching sensation.

1026
01:09:31.239 --> 01:09:33.960
<v Speaker 1>The Miyes, the kid that had brought a lot of

1027
01:09:33.960 --> 01:09:37.159
<v Speaker 1>controversy whether he should be making the All Star Game

1028
01:09:37.279 --> 01:09:41.399
<v Speaker 1>or not because he's only pitched in five games. My

1029
01:09:41.560 --> 01:09:44.800
<v Speaker 1>response to that was, there were twelve other players that

1030
01:09:45.279 --> 01:09:48.840
<v Speaker 1>turned them down, so he was not the first on

1031
01:09:48.880 --> 01:09:52.520
<v Speaker 1>their list to take and kudos to him for giving

1032
01:09:52.600 --> 01:10:00.159
<v Speaker 1>him the opportunity. He's he's doing really well. Kudos to

1033
01:10:01.199 --> 01:10:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Freddie Peralta and Trevor McGill because they paid tribute last

1034
01:10:08.319 --> 01:10:10.880
<v Speaker 1>in the All Star Game to Bob Buker and I

1035
01:10:10.920 --> 01:10:15.840
<v Speaker 1>thought that was cool when they all stood up and

1036
01:10:15.920 --> 01:10:18.560
<v Speaker 1>they put up those cards and it says, I stand

1037
01:10:18.640 --> 01:10:22.319
<v Speaker 1>up for cancer for and Freddy Peralta put Bob Bucher

1038
01:10:22.359 --> 01:10:25.560
<v Speaker 1>on his If you don't know, he was the voice

1039
01:10:25.600 --> 01:10:29.359
<v Speaker 1>of the Brewers for many many years. He passed away

1040
01:10:29.439 --> 01:10:34.439
<v Speaker 1>earlier in January from cancer, so as far as the

1041
01:10:34.439 --> 01:10:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Milwaukee Bucks in what was a very puzzling movement when

1042
01:10:42.960 --> 01:10:44.760
<v Speaker 1>they let Dame Lillard.

1043
01:10:45.960 --> 01:10:46.159
<v Speaker 5>Go.

1044
01:10:48.000 --> 01:10:51.840
<v Speaker 1>If you think about it, though, it makes sense because

1045
01:10:52.840 --> 01:10:55.720
<v Speaker 1>they had to. He was injured in the playoffs, so

1046
01:10:55.760 --> 01:10:59.279
<v Speaker 1>he's not gonna play any of next year. They want

1047
01:10:59.359 --> 01:11:03.479
<v Speaker 1>to diversify some of his stretch out some of the

1048
01:11:03.520 --> 01:11:06.520
<v Speaker 1>money that they owe him. But they need players now

1049
01:11:06.600 --> 01:11:11.199
<v Speaker 1>because they know Giannis is on. He's he's the face

1050
01:11:11.239 --> 01:11:14.159
<v Speaker 1>of the franchise now, but how many more years does

1051
01:11:14.159 --> 01:11:17.039
<v Speaker 1>he have? And we want another title? So you really,

1052
01:11:17.079 --> 01:11:20.119
<v Speaker 1>they really had no choice. As much as everybody was

1053
01:11:20.279 --> 01:11:25.000
<v Speaker 1>shocked and surprised, they had to do something because, like

1054
01:11:25.039 --> 01:11:31.119
<v Speaker 1>I said, they want And you know, kudos to Dame

1055
01:11:31.279 --> 01:11:34.880
<v Speaker 1>because he's actually gonna go back to He's returning to

1056
01:11:34.960 --> 01:11:38.079
<v Speaker 1>the Blazers on a reported three year, forty two million

1057
01:11:38.119 --> 01:11:40.720
<v Speaker 1>dollar deal, which doesn't sound like a lot. But he's

1058
01:11:40.720 --> 01:11:44.000
<v Speaker 1>still getting paid by the Bucks too, so he's gonna

1059
01:11:44.000 --> 01:11:47.279
<v Speaker 1>get paid by the Bucks and the Blazers. And that's

1060
01:11:47.279 --> 01:11:50.000
<v Speaker 1>really I mean, that's where his kids live, that's where

1061
01:11:50.039 --> 01:11:56.399
<v Speaker 1>he that's where his home is. So kudos to him.

1062
01:11:56.560 --> 01:12:00.600
<v Speaker 1>As far as let's see the Packers start their training

1063
01:12:00.640 --> 01:12:03.760
<v Speaker 1>camp next week too. The only difference would be is

1064
01:12:06.239 --> 01:12:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Love is now wearing a little piece of jewelry.

1065
01:12:10.479 --> 01:12:14.399
<v Speaker 1>He actually got married since the last time he took

1066
01:12:14.479 --> 01:12:19.800
<v Speaker 1>the field. So congratul, congratulations to him, and good luck

1067
01:12:19.840 --> 01:12:25.159
<v Speaker 1>to him. The one last, one last thing I do

1068
01:12:25.279 --> 01:12:32.560
<v Speaker 1>want to say is rest in peace to ex Eagles

1069
01:12:32.600 --> 01:12:37.319
<v Speaker 1>special teams Ace Brahman, who died of a rare form

1070
01:12:37.359 --> 01:12:42.079
<v Speaker 1>of cancer at the age of thirty eight. He was

1071
01:12:42.119 --> 01:12:46.079
<v Speaker 1>a key special teams player for the Philadelphia Eagles first

1072
01:12:46.119 --> 01:12:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl championship team. He was diagnosed earlier this year

1073
01:12:50.960 --> 01:12:54.319
<v Speaker 1>and had multiple surgeries in recent months in an attempt

1074
01:12:54.319 --> 01:12:57.880
<v Speaker 1>to treat the illness. He actually passed away this morning.

1075
01:12:58.760 --> 01:13:01.239
<v Speaker 1>There was a statement issue the team. We are deeply

1076
01:13:01.319 --> 01:13:04.680
<v Speaker 1>saddened to learn of the passing of Brian Brahman, the

1077
01:13:04.720 --> 01:13:08.119
<v Speaker 1>team said. During his four seasons in Philadelphia, Brian was

1078
01:13:08.159 --> 01:13:10.840
<v Speaker 1>a loyal teammate, a supporter of the community, and a

1079
01:13:10.960 --> 01:13:16.600
<v Speaker 1>valuable member of the Super Bowl winning team. More importantly,

1080
01:13:16.640 --> 01:13:20.479
<v Speaker 1>he was a devoted father who passionately loved his family

1081
01:13:20.920 --> 01:13:24.000
<v Speaker 1>and everyone around him. We extend our deepest condolences to

1082
01:13:24.680 --> 01:13:27.800
<v Speaker 1>the Brian's family and all who are grieving a loss

1083
01:13:27.840 --> 01:13:32.520
<v Speaker 1>at this time, he was signed as an undrafted free

1084
01:13:32.520 --> 01:13:36.239
<v Speaker 1>agent by the Texans in twenty eleven. He played seven

1085
01:13:36.319 --> 01:13:39.439
<v Speaker 1>seasons in the NFL. He spent his first three in Houston,

1086
01:13:39.960 --> 01:13:46.159
<v Speaker 1>last four in Philadelphia. I believe he was having problems

1087
01:13:46.520 --> 01:13:50.600
<v Speaker 1>paying for medical treatment and even and I want to say,

1088
01:13:50.640 --> 01:13:54.159
<v Speaker 1>like JJ Watt even put money towards his medical treatment

1089
01:13:54.199 --> 01:14:01.039
<v Speaker 1>and stuff like that. So rest in peace, and my

1090
01:14:01.159 --> 01:14:05.039
<v Speaker 1>prayers and thoughts go out to your friends and family

1091
01:14:05.119 --> 01:14:08.520
<v Speaker 1>and all of your teammates that are mourning your loss.

1092
01:14:09.560 --> 01:14:13.479
<v Speaker 1>With that being said, let's tell everybody how they can

1093
01:14:13.479 --> 01:14:16.039
<v Speaker 1>get a hold of us. I'm gonna first go because

01:18:03.880 --> 01:18:09.600
<v Speaker 1>have the players ride the kids bikes from their locker

1154
01:18:09.680 --> 01:18:13.720
<v Speaker 1>room to the field. That's kind of that's cool, and

1155
01:18:13.960 --> 01:18:17.720
<v Speaker 1>it's going to continue. Uh. The one thing that did

1156
01:18:17.800 --> 01:18:21.800
<v Speaker 1>change over this NFL off season two for them is

1157
01:18:21.920 --> 01:18:27.279
<v Speaker 1>their president Murphy retired, so they have a new president.

1158
01:18:27.479 --> 01:18:30.479
<v Speaker 1>So with that being said, I want everybody to have

1159
01:18:30.600 --> 01:18:34.840
