Speaker: What is going on everybody? Happy Sunday. Oh, the really good thing is, is that it is football season and that's why we're here. Welcome to the do a show here on the network. Unnecessary roughness. We're going to do a little football kickoff show, making our picks. You guys know me. I'm Glick. We got my boy, Derek Wayne Douglas in the building, former guest to Glick's house of music. He was ready to talk some football this season.
Speaker: I definitely was not going to miss that opportunity to let him be a part of this. And Cam may be joining us shortly. He's having some technical difficulties of his own.
Speaker: um
Speaker: But real quick, let me get this nonsense out of the way. This unnecessary evidence is part of the nonsensical network. If you're not already, go ahead and check us out. We are literally everywhere. We're on all the socials. We got shows seven days a week, all live.
Speaker: And you can, uh, listen to us anytime, any place, wherever you listen to podcasts that all shows are up to date on Spotify with the exception of last night and today, but I'll get them up when this show's done. While I'm sitting here watching football, you can find us a bio dot .link slash nonsensical network. That's got all of our links there, including our link to our merch store. If you're interested. And then you can check out Derek at Derek Wayne Douglas.
Speaker: on the socials and give him some love as well. He's a up and coming musician if you don't know already. But what's going on with you, brother? How you doing? I'm good. Are you? Hey, it's football season. I can't complain. I heard that. I mean, I've been waiting on it a lot. I'm a Browns fan. I can complain a lot. but You watch any college? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I I watch I didn't watch anything yesterday. I got a little bit. I got a little busy yesterday, but I'm a big I'm a huge Michigan fan. Oh, OK. Dang, that's unusual. Yeah, I'm the I'm the quote unquote bad guy here in Ohio. Hey, yeah, I was going to say you're the black sheep there because that's like the rival. Yep. Yeah. Oh yeah, that's cool. In the past, I worked for Ohio State twice. Oh wow.
Speaker: Yeah, yeah. So yeah, I I didn't. I didn't pay much attention to yesterday's game. Michigan struggling a little bit. I mean, 23 players go to the NFL. Staff new head coach. This is going to be a rebuilding season. I wouldn't end with the schedule they had. They've got a. They've got a tough schedule this year. I wouldn't be surprised if they lose. 4 to 5 games this year, which is not going to be good.
Speaker: Right. but how be i Yeah. You know, it's, uh, it's one of those things. Yeah. I'm a, um, uh, balls fan and man, we had a long stretch of just being terrible. So I'm, uh, you guys are on the come up now. That's right. So no complaints. I'd like to be able to beat Georgia though.
Speaker: Did you see last night Kentucky was giving Georgia all they could take? Oh really? Nah, I didn't see that, but that's good. I'm glad. I think Georgia wound up winning. But no. No way. Yeah, 13 to 13 to 12. Against Georgia. Yeah, Kentucky Kentucky. No way bro all along.
Speaker: going going going into the fourth quarter. I know Georgia 113 to 12. No, no, no, Georgia one, but going into the fourth quarter, Kentucky was leading Georgia. Wow. Dang all they did. Okay. Yeah. They finally scored a touchdown in the last quarter. Okay. Yeah. it Wow. It was wild. I got it. I got a a a an update about that. I was like, wait a minute. Hold on a second. This is the number one team in the country and they're struggling against Kentucky. They, you know, you guys might have a chance to. Yeah, the business this year. Let's go. I love it. I got a couple friends out in Georgia fans and odds, so I'd like to stick it to him when I pan. Yeah, I you know, I don't got no problem with Georgia. I'm glad it's not. i'm I'm glad it's not.
Speaker: Alabama anymore. I can't stand Alabama. Right, right, right. um I wouldn't mind seeing the Vols do their thing out there in the SEC, especially with the addition of Texas and Oklahoma. Now it would be nice to see a new top contender out there because for so long it's been Georgia or Alabama. At the end, right? Yeah, but.
Speaker: I'm excited to see this full of this. I mean, we've had the quote unquote playoff system in college football, but I'm excited to see a 12 team a playoff system this year. I'm definitely glad to see him change it. I hadn't really liked it in the past. Because it was all basically like a.
Speaker: like a popularity contest more than it was actually who's the best. I mean, don't get me wrong. They were better teams, but they still based it off of like the eye test and like I get it because they're trying to make money. But for me, I was just like, I don't think that's fair, you know, to some of the teams. change your mike Yeah, no, that's the thing. Now that they've got rid of the committee and it's it's it's based off of wins and losses and they're not looking, you know,
Speaker: You can't go, whoa, well, blah, blah, blah has a tougher schedule because they play in this conference. Well, yeah. Well, when that conference plays this other conference, they've got a losing record. So what's that got to do with anything now that we're facing it off of wins and losses. If you win your conference, you're in. I like that they're moving towards the quote unquote super conferences with the sec, the ACC, the big 10, they're expanding them, making them bigger.
Speaker: I think it's going to make the competition better at the end of the day as well. Yeah. It'll make it more difficult too for ah other teams that aren't quite as good, like, you know, in certain conferences, like they're going to have to step their game up to be able to actually come and compete. So.
Speaker: 100 % and I think we're going to get that. We're going to get to see yeah the rise of the underdogs in the next few years with this new playoff system. Well, that's that's kind of how I feel with what I'm saying. There is like those teams are really going to have to step up that are in some of those leagues that they're just not going to be looked at unless somebody you know, really shows that they got something. Exactly so. Yeah, it'll be fun. Definitely. I'm definitely excited for the changes in college football.
Speaker: Um, but, um, hello, we got, we're going to talk a little NFL as well. Um, I just want to run. I'm not going to run through every game, but last week and we're going to make our picks too today as we go through, but last week yeah and picks and, um, we both went 10 and five, but it was pretty, uh, straight up down the line. There was just a couple of games that set us apart. He was a fool. and He's a diehard Panthers fan and he couldn't not pick his team. Oh yeah, that's terrible. and it And I mean, I really thought the Browns were going to were going to show up and show out last week. ah And.
Speaker: There we go. Uh, I really thought the Titans were going to whoop up on the bears. I was kind of shocked at the bears come back. Yeah, we, yeah, we ruined that. Well, it wasn't even the bears coming back. It was us. We just did it to ourselves, start ourselves in the foot. But, uh, we went, we went, uh, we went 10 and five in our pigs last week. Um, I really thought the Bengals, uh, we're going to,
Speaker: beat up on the Patriots. I know the Patriots have been getting a lot of hate, but, uh, apparently, uh, they showed up last week unexpectedly. Yeah, they did. And, uh,
Speaker: then the dolphins are just, man, I don't even know what to say about the dolphins. data They are a hot mess. They, uh, they got, they got beat down by, uh, by Buffalo or something fears.
Speaker: And yeah, I would say um I'm starting to get a little worried about to a man because this is uh Yeah, he need I think he should give it up man take his money this is a second Yeah, 100 % get your money and run homie and leave dude because he said that the reason he came back to play anyway was because Uh, he wanted his son to see him play football and it's like, okay, well now you got to think about your son and after football, I was like, cause you continue like this. All right, dude, you're going to be in your thirties, man, and be like a senile old man. Like what, I mean, how's that going to be for your son? Yeah. i' Take these head injuries. Yeah. You know.
Speaker: and CTEs and the head injuries and the trauma and stuff like that. These players have got a, and I noticed a lot of players or some of the players this year was going to start wearing the new guardian helmets, uh, which is cool. But this is the second year in a row that two of was left on the field looking like a tweaker. I mean, right I don't know if you've seen that hit when he hit the ground, it was just like, Oh man, that was yeah i seen last year. oh Yeah. What's up. like Yeah. That one was extremely bad. Mm -hmm.
Speaker: But this one wasn't really any better. You know, he just wasn't throwing up gang signs this time, you know, but now he it's, it's tough.
Speaker: Well, hopefully he'll get his, get, get himself right. Get his, you know, as long as so he can't read, if he retires on his own, I was reading the other day, if he retires on his own, he won't get the guarantee money or whatever that he,
Speaker: the guaranteed money. However, if he's medically retired by a doctor, then he can get his money still. Oh hell. He's paying somebody. That's what I'd be doing. I'd be paying a doctor right now. Like, Hey, listen, man, I got you on the side. You know, you got to hook me up. I got 168 mil riding on this one. I'll slide you like $10 million, dollars you know? Yeah.
Speaker: you know, get you just like they used to do back in the day and up in New York ah with the mob and mafia, you know, an envelope goes a long way. Yeah, he's he needs to I'd get the hell out. If I was him, but for sure with. Who is and so let's say I don't know how many weeks at this point two is out. If he's out, I would assume he's out. Who does Miami turn to?
Speaker: for the QB situation. Man, they're out here looking at free agents. Yeah. I don't think you're looking at and they're looking at the UFL or something. I think it would be, I wouldn't blame them to be honest. I know this sounds far -fetched, but go see if Ryan Tannehill wants to come back for a year or two.
Speaker: You know, like he wasn't that bad. And I mean, y 'all really like with what's out there. I mean, what else are you going to do? Just chalk it up. I mean, they could just chalk it up, man, and basically tank the season and go with some drafts. But I don't know, you know, what all their contracts they have because they got some talent on the team. And I don't know what those contracts are looking like going into next year, you know. So.
Speaker: Yeah, they definitely they they definitely got some. I mean, offensively they've got some weapons. You know, a buddy of mine, him and I were talking and and and we both kind of agreed, but. You know Pittsburgh has found themselves in a ah very unique situation that could that could benefit Miami. ah With through having Russell with having Russ and Justin Fields. But. Also, as anybody knows that watches football, Pittsburgh I think will do.
Speaker: one of two things they'll keep for us for a year or two. Let Justin sit and learn under him and then Justin will be their guy for the future because we know Pittsburgh does not ever get rid of anybody. They keep. I'm, I'm, I'm seeing somebody right here though. Jimmy Garoppolo. I didn't think about that. I was thinking Jimmy G in Miami. He would be a rock star, man. He never had like that. might yeah That might be cool. Yeah. Um,
Speaker: But I, I, Miami would have to come up, come off of a ah lot in order to, uh, to make that deal happen with Pittsburgh. I think and there's a couple of guys on the Titans right now wearing the guardian helmets. Yeah. We have, we got a tight end. Yeah. That one tight end. I know is wearing it. Yeah.
Speaker: yeah I noticed it last week when I was watching the games and I was like, why the hell is that guy's helmet? darker than everybody else. Yeah. And it's like, gigantic yeah. And then, uh, they zoomed in on it. I think it was the Cleveland Dallas game and, and, uh, Tom Brady started talking about the new gar that ah players were wearing them. I heard some, some rumblings before the season, um, that the league allowed it and everything. And I was like, Oh, I mean, some of these guys, they take a lot of shots to the head. Probably not a bad idea. Uh, at the end of the day. Yeah. Jimmy G's out there.
Speaker: Um? Oh hell, who else is out there? Let's see. Flacco, Flacco still in. Flacco still out there. I guess I think he's in Indy right now. Yeah, I believe so. He'd be a. He'd be, yeah, he'd be cool. I mean, I'd look at him for sure. I'd rather have Jimmy Garoppolo, but ah he's definitely an option.
Speaker: One million. Yeah, I wouldn't. i would I would love to see Jimmy G playing. I liked him when he was in and San Francisco. Just the downside was the injury and Brock Purdy came in and he hasn't slowed down. ah Hasn't slowed down yet in San Francisco. I can't wait till till that kid gets his big his big payday. He definitely deserves it.
Speaker: Who's that? Brock Purdy out there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. That that kid has not. but Has not slowed down. A second outside of I think he's in a couple of years. Oh man.
Speaker: But uh, well, we'll run into some start making some pics and we'll talk a little bit about each each team in each game here. Um, as, so as we go through, um, I'm going to go ahead, as I said, Sundays are, I'm going to go to experiment with the open panel on Sundays. Uh, just like we do on, on Mondays, uh, it is football talk. So that's what we're talking. We're talking a little NFL. We're making some picks. Uh, link is in the chat. Anybody who wants to come up, we're going to just, uh, look in the world and think about that Carson Wentz.
Speaker: ah Yeah, I always forget that he's in he's still out there and then it blows my mind that he is still in the league somewhere. Right. Because he's I feel like he's been around. or Somebody so might put Tom Brady on here. Like, come on, man.
Speaker: yeah i mean I wouldn't be mad that would be funny to see Tom Brady play in Miami because you know Miami and New England their conference rivals. Yeah, yeah some piano games. But unfortunately I don't think we're going to be seeing the Tom Brady return anytime soon because in his contract with Fox. Basically they said if he comes out of retirement and plays all his money that they were going to give him, it goes out the window and
Speaker: any future endeavors or whatever with Fox will be out the window as well. Yeah, I don't want to see Tom Brady come back anyway. I think he's pretty much done. He had a run. I love the guy. That's that's my guy. You know, I hated that he played in Baltimore or not Baltimore, New England all them years, right? I was happy to see him go to Tampa, get himself another ring in Tampa, but.
Speaker: You know what? Yeah, you you you had an amazing career, 20 years, 20 plus years in the league, you know, seven rings. You're good. You're good to just say, and I think he did a, I know he was getting a lot of grief last week, but I think he did pretty good job up in the booth, uh, commentating the game, calling the game. Um, you know, he had a couple of jokes that didn't quite land and they, they let left him out to hang. Uh, but, uh,
Speaker: Nonetheless, I think he did a good job. I, you know, yeah it's like, uh, uh, Oh, what was that? Uh, Tony Romo. I thought Tony Romo was good in the booth. Uh, when he came, came out of the, when he retired. Oh, Romo was. Yeah. I like Romo. Like I thought thought i was going to say like Brady was good, but Tony Romo was like, amazing. He was like.
Speaker: like uh like a crystal ball or something like he knew he was like all right right here they're gonna uh you know what I mean and it was like literally that's what would happen. not five Yeah that's what I liked about watching uh uh RoMo because and he broke stuff down as a uh as a former player and whatnot he really broke the plays down and then and kind of explained it a little bit better ass as only a former player could at the end of the day. There we go. That a little bit better. Yeah, he definitely showed his ah his ah football IQ for sure. So we'll see we'll see as as time progresses how how Tom does. but i think i think I think Tom will be good the yeah in the booth
Speaker: I think he'll be alright. Yeah, I think he'll be fine. He'll be better than Greg Olsen.
Speaker: That was that was that was terrible. I don't I don't want to throw no shade at Greg Olsen. Uh he was he he made me laugh.
Speaker: Uh, but that was about to extend. He made me laugh, but man, he was, up and ne he was bad, man. He was bad, super clunky all over the place. I was like, I like Greg Olsen. You know, anytime I've seen him outside of football and of course playing football, but when he did the announcer stuff, I was like, no, it would almost be the equivalent of probably doing Gronkowski. Like, no, it's not good. I just, just a big dumb animal up there. Right.
Speaker: flapping around. Yeah, he tried man. I almost feel like he tried to be like it wasn't authentic. You know, like it wasn't him. He was like trying to be what he thought they wanted him to be like some of the other announcers and I'm just like no. It's not working for you. right um let's ah Let's go ahead and roll into, let's roll into making some, uh, making some picks. And like I said, we'll talk a little bit about each game and each, each team. Um, we'll actually go ahead and start with, uh, with your boys, the Titans and the jets. Yeah, man. And much as this pains me, the jets are going to win. Yeah. You guys are, uh, you guys are playing. Oh, you guys are playing at home. Yeah. Okay. There you go. I have jets. I have no faith.
Speaker: at this point You know, what actually, before we dive too much into the into the picks, I was going to do this ah week one over reactions. We're only one weekend and every season we have the.
Speaker: and it started and I've seen a couple other broadcasters. They're already starting on the Cleveland is a dumpster fire Cleveland won't win a game all season blah blah and I'm like it's one week and it was Dallas and we have a lot of injuries half of our ah we have we have one of the top tier offensive lines in the NFL and half of the offensive line was injured. You know, we've got a bunch of injury. and We still have Nick Chubback So, you know, and, and, and, uh, the jets going in over hyped, I think the jets are, are over hyped. Um, and I think they got exposed last week. Uh, and, and then of course everybody's Aaron Rogers is too old. He's done. Uh, I don't, I'm not, uh, I'm not buying it week one, man. After week one, I think it's too early to start making ridiculous, um, call, uh, calls and predictions at the end of the day.
Speaker: Especially after all that time he took off. Yeah, like all that time that he's been out like two years, right? Exactly. It's like, let him shake off a little rust. And speaking of the overreactions, that's me. That's me with the Titans right now. I'm like, it's only one week. We got this young guy. He could make some improvements, but I'm still like, nah, I'm overreacting. but it's it's It's a wrap.
Speaker: It's a rap. It's game. Well, I'm screaming. I want the shot. I want the shot. Watson out. I'm a ah little buddy. Yeah. Oh, you know, I want I want Watson out. I want I like I'm at the point where it's like I'll take Jamison Winston eating W's all day long. Yeah, Brian, I I want to fall asleep after the game.
Speaker: Yeah, I fell asleep after the game. I'm not going to lie. Yeah, ah yeah like it's we're going into our third season with this damn Deshaun Watson experiment. and And I'm just over it. He's played 13 games. He's eight and five, which, you know, not bad winning record when he plays. But last week, last week, he looked like an absolute jackass out there on the field. I'm like, what what what are you doing, man?
Speaker: you run it all. Apparently, you know, there was a couple of good times girl. He's got another case popping up too. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like, damn it. So, Cleveland has got to figure out a way to get out of this contract because there was a lot of money that he that he put on the line or they put on the line for for for Watson and It's just like, it's just not panning out, you know, at this point. No, it ain't looking like it. It's unfortunate. Like, I don't know Deshaun Watson personally, obviously, you know, and, but that situation that he had going on down there, I don't know what, you know, in Texas, I have no idea, but it's a shame, man. Cause he was a great quarterback down there with the Texans.
Speaker: He was awesome in Texas and and and I know a lot of people got excited. You know, we're like, are we going to get to see that version of Watson is, you know, he hadn't played for two years at that point and then, you know, first 10 games suspended. So he comes in and we get to see him and he's had glimpses of of his old ways. But then at the same time, it's just like. Well, it's not really canon out and a lot of money that was Just my camera here. I don't know why I didn't Go in my my studio area and set at my desk But I do because my big TV's out here and I had to turn on NFL game day but um the little child um Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about ah, anyhoo But um
Speaker: off to bed. Have a good one, Brian. The legend, but we'll go ahead and jump back into these picks. I see that there's two. Okay. but I didn't even realize that the ah chat was pulled up. Oh yeah.
Speaker: actually Yeah. I see you. I see you. Mike trying to see what's going on here. Getting notifications, having troubles connecting and I don't know if that's on my end or Not. So let's.
Speaker: Maybe. There we go. There we go, maybe that'll work. I have no idea. Hello. What's going on, Mike? Good to see you. Yeah.
Speaker: good seeing you brother. It was nice watching you guys today. I usually pop in there in the uh in the uh cheap sheets as they say and watch on Sundays. I would tell on everybody. I appreciate your support throughout the week even when I do my AI spiritual thing. I know that's not your groove. I mean, I like some of those tunes that you come up with those. So, I like I said, I used to throw it in my back pocket and go do my uh do my thing at work while while I'm oh no way hey How are you doing? My biggest fan. We were actually just getting ready to roll into making some picks. So if you're down to make some picks, you can make some picks with us. Yeah, yeah, I would love that. um Started with the Jets and Titans. And Derek, you said as much as it pains you, you're going to go with the with the Jets over your boys, huh? yeah Because I'm overreacting from week one.
Speaker: the The week one over reaction. I love it. I love the I love the right first first couple weeks of the football season if people are and I'm just gonna own it. Yeah. Um, who you taking in that game Bathurst? um I would I'm still going with the Jets. I I don't think we've seen enough yet to really know what's happening.
Speaker: You know, poor Aaron is not really been on a field in two years, except for the other night. He looked absolutely freaking terrified at times, but his arm is still solid. And if you think about your team, how well they did with Joe Flacco, yeah he is as good as Joe Flacco. He has the same kind of beautiful arm where they can throw it in a basket.
Speaker: and He has some weapons but defensively. Oh my god. They are still a mess. I don't care what people say Yeah, but I think it'll be like three -point difference like a field goal Yeah but That's my pick Yeah, I I haven't I haven't Quite bought into the Jets hype yet this season. I said it last week. I'm not quite on the hype train yet. I I know Rogers is going to come back. He's going to have, you know as said as the boxers say, a little ring rust and maybe a little bit of hesitation coming off of that because that's a terrible injury. But I was saying last week and I'm going to say it again this week. like i got I got faith in the Titans. I think the Titans are doing something special down there. They've got some they've got some players that that want to ball out. and
Speaker: you know, that young quarterback they got, I don't think he's, I don't think he's a joke. He seems to be a solid kid. So I'm going to, I'm going to stay on the Titans train. I'm not, I'm not jumping off yet. I'm not, not abandoned in ship yet. Just yet. um We'll roll into my, book my guys Browns and Jaguars. And you know, I don't want to sound like a Homer, but again,
Speaker: Uh, I'm not ready to abandon my team. Uh, one week still dealing with some injuries. Uh, the Jaguars, no disrespect to the Jags, but, um, I think this is the week where we're going to see that, that defense that we've seen last year. Schwartz is going to get his guys in, and in, in, in order and, uh, old, uh, Goldie locks down there. Justin Lawrence is going to be spending most of the day running for his life, but I'm going to go with my Browns over the Jags.
Speaker: I feel for you with the grounds because, you know, once you have disruption in a room like they have and they've lost faith in their leader, it doesn't matter. So if they were to somehow find a way to let even the backup have a chance.
Speaker: you you might have a repeat of what you saw with Joe Flacco last year. I was very sad that he left because i felt i was I felt like he had found a home there and he would have been more than okay being a backup. He never really wanted to be a starter. He is just so grateful to have had that opportunity and have you know Cleveland embraced him with so much love. It was amazing to see. It was, it was kind of like a Cinderella story. He was what? Sitting on the couch, throwing balls with this dad. And the next thing he gets a call because everyone was injured. I'm noticing this year though, that it's becoming more and more of a running game so far in one, yeah one. Yeah. But that can change. And Cleveland has Cleveland has, uh,
Speaker: ah you know, a nice receiving core with, uh, Mario Cooper leading the way. And now granted last week, he did drop a couple crucial passes. That could have been a game changer in the, in the game. Um, but you got a Mario Cooper. We just added Jerry Judy. We've got, uh, Bell. They just added, uh, Cadairius Tony, which I'm up in the air. I mean, I don't know how I feel about Tony.
Speaker: You know, he was good with the Giants. He was kind of non -existent with the Chiefs. What are we going to get out of him? And we've got that young kid out of Tennessee that we drafted Thrasher and I think he's going to be down the road once he settles into an NFL role. I think he's going to be an absolute force to be dealt with as a receiver. And then we got in Jokku. He's out this week with an injury, but you know, King and Jokku, there's there's there's plenty of options to throw the ball to in Cleveland and and And I'm agreeing. I'm over the Watson experiment. And at this point, I wouldn't be upset seeing Jamison Winston come in there and eat some W's. yeah and and And I hear that he is really liked. I hear Jamo's a pretty good guy. People like him in the locker room. I've heard that he is, they've embraced him and he's fine. It's just, I think once you lose respect of the room, it's really hard to get it back.
Speaker: Yeah. So who are you going with there, Bathurst? The Jags or the Browns? Nice, Rob. I'm going to say the Jags. I think it's going to be tight. um The Jags showed signs of greatness for about three quarters and then yeah kind of fell off. But we forget that a lot of this is conditioning and If you have an older team and you've got a bunch of old guys like myself, like and I'm 61, I'm not saying, but if you're older, even by five years, by the time you're into the second, third quarter, you're gassed. You're absolutely gassed. The young guys though, they heal faster and they run on adrenaline better. It's kind of like when we used to go out and drink. I just saw someone pop up and pop out. That would be, that would be camp.
Speaker: Trying to hook up my earbuds. Yeah. So I shared this with my YouTube. So that that's OK, right? Yeah, absolutely. absolutely Yeah. Yeah. I'd like to support it the best I can. Oh, oh man. Speaking of being an old, I'm going to learn the hard way sitting on the floor. It's not a good idea.
Speaker: but And I just saved it on Twitter as well. So I appreciate that. Appreciate that. um So what's what's what's your what's your thoughts on the Browns Jags Derek?
Speaker: I'm saying I think it's going to be close. It's going to be tight, but I'm going to go Jags. um I feel like ah Trevor Lawrence is just a better quarterback right now, so that's the only thing I can really say.
Speaker: He's definitely the better out of the two. Right. Going into week two. Cam real quick. Titans and Jets. Who you got? Jets. Man, I'm one wolf in it here. Jags and Browns. Browns. OK.
Speaker: i'm i'm lone whooping i'm the only I'm the only one who believes in the Titans. I mean, I don't believe in the Jets, but you're not, though. A lot of analysts really like the Titans this year. They're odds. I just I've I don't believe it the same way that you and Tony D do. And and Derek, I'm telling you right now, I think you'd be a better quarterback for the Browns then. And I haven't even seen you throw a ball. All right.
Speaker: I can probably command a little more respect in the room. You got the look. yeah You know, he he looks like half the football players that I watch in interviews. Yeah, just give me some pads. Yeah, and you got the accent. you You got the accent. Yeah. You can either be a quarterback or a NASCAR driver, or one of the two. with the accent Yeah.
Speaker: yeah um Panthers chargers. yeah i know Let's go. I'm playing. Hey, we're going to lose by 40, but Panthers till I die, baby. Let's go.
Speaker: and so So are you picking the chargers or the Panthers? Panthers. I got to do it, man. We're at home, so we'll see. It ain't going to matter our whole 5 ,000 things. It'll be there. That's an easy pick for me, chargers.
Speaker: Yeah, it's hard just for sure why I said it. I I said it in Tony D's live earlier. Belt Kings Fantasy Football there live before us on Sundays. They were talking about the Panthers. I said a the Panthers are a dumpster fire at B. I wouldn't put any of their players in my starting lineup on fantasy football. Obviously it's going to be an easy day for the Chargers and Justin Herbert. What about you, Mike?
Speaker: I totally disagree. oh And I'll tell you why. The chargers right now are in such disarray and I'm even sensing a little bit of frustration because the system has changed so much. You have an explosive quarterback who's used to throwing, what, 300 yards a game? He was he was limited to like 150. The system works.
Speaker: Right? Like run the ball, you know, make sure that you have the ball longer than your opponent and wear them down. They had no points up until I think the fourth quarter was awful. And what they do is they slowly wear you out.
Speaker: Neither of those teams are stacked when it comes to defense. They're a mess. But the great thing is it's going to be entertaining. And I think it's going to be a high scoring game. I really do. And the teams that can run the ball effectively will do OK. But this is anybody's game. So I disagree. um The Chargers, as much as I like the story, they're a bit of a dumpster.
Speaker: fire as well. there if If you look at what they gave up this year, their key pieces, it it was almost like they purposely burnt the grass to see if it would grow back better. Thank you. Yeah. Well, they got the new coach up there and, and and in you know, being a Michigan fan. Harbaugh is doing exactly what he did in michigan at Michigan. They're going to build a defense.
Speaker: But he focuses on the run game for being a quarterback guy He focuses on the run game and they picked up two good running backs out of Baltimore JK Dobbins and Gus Edwards So they're gonna beat you to death on the field They're gonna run you they're gonna they're absolutely gonna beat your defense to death on the field So are you are you leaning towards are you picking the Panthers in that one or Oh, hell no. But it's still going to be the, it's still, it's still the charger. Yeah. I I'm not suicidal, but the, no, but I wouldn't, I wouldn't bet the farm, but if it was, you know, a spread where it was close, I might go with the Panthers like, and, and don't be shocked if somehow they win. It is going to be close. Yeah. I don't think it's going to be a blowout. I just don't. They're not.
Speaker: Yeah. Yeah. So fifth by seven yeah you think that the Panthers have got seven on the main. So, uh, you, you're thinking Bryce young is going to wake from his slumber and he was, I don't, I don't blame it all on Bryce. I know i i blame it on Bryce because he still regardless has to have the maturity. So I think it's partially that, but he can't get comfortable and he's a small guy and he knows that he's dead anytime that his line looks up.
Speaker: let's let's be real in anybody in this league whatever size they are unless you're cam newton in your prime yeah you're in trouble they like they they're out to get you oh we we could talk about this for days even though yeah Derek what do you think oh i'm definitely going chargers man, you know what? Screw all you guys, man. I needed a little bit of help, okay? I did. I gave you a little help. I gave you a little help, but you know. Cam, did the Panthers play the Broncos at any point this season? I can't remember why you're going to take the Panthers. Yeah, I'll take the Panthers. Speaking of the ah Denver Broncos, we got the Pittsburgh Steelers, Justin Fields, leading them again this week against the Denver Broncos. Oh.
Speaker: No, man, I just first and foremost, I can't stand the Broncos. They've been bad for the last few years ah and it pains me to pick the Steelers for a second week in a row. The Steelers are kind of a sleepy team to watch nothing against them that they J Watts is is impressive as well. Get out as always. But I think they're they're they're kind of missing that explosiveness that dynamic player that and I think Justin Fields brings that, but um I'm going to the Steelers over the Broncos all day. And I don't care if that they got to rely on the on the foot of Boswell, again, ticket to get the victory. Because, well, that'd be great for Nikki's fantasy football team if Boswell gets another 20 points in fantasy football. But but yeah, I'm going to Pittsburgh. I feel bad for Bo Nicks.
Speaker: He didn't he didn't look bad last week, though. I'll give him credit over the Seahawks, even though they took an L Bo Nicks coming in in his first season. He didn't he didn't look too bad. I'm going Steelers over the over the Broncos. What about you, Mike? Personally, um if I use my logical brain, I'm going to go with the Steelers. But if I go with my emotional intuitive side,
Speaker: Don't underestimate the Denver Broncos this year. Bo Nix has the ability to be in the next couple of years. I think a first year quarterback as long as he doesn't get hurt. I think today we're going to see Courtland Sutton do well. He'll get some production and also Josh Reynolds. They can also if they get lucky enough. he Here's the thing and and people don't realize this. The Steelers win with field goals.
Speaker: If you study it, they win with field and they win by guess what? Interceptions taking it. today Like they can't, they're not, they're not an offensive team. They're just, they're not. And I'm sorry, they've got two quarterbacks that are kind of in progress. You know, I think if you could take both of them and use the skill sets into one person, you'd have a great quarterback. Oh yeah.
Speaker: You know, yeah as i would you agree with that? Or is that crazy? Oh, no, no, that's what I was saying earlier about Pittsburgh, keeping Russ for a year or two, or a couple of years, keeping Joe Fields for a year or keeping the fields on the bench. Let him learn from Russ. You know, in in Russ's prime, he was fantastic. He was one of the best out there in his prime. You know, he'd be a hell of a teacher for fields. And the great thing about Pittsburgh, and we all know this is football fans, whether you love Pittsburgh or you hate Pittsburgh.
Speaker: Once they lock in on a player, that te player is typically there for life. You know, they don't go anywhere else. So fields could find a home in Pittsburgh and learn from Russ for a season or two. Russ retires field steps up and he's there for the next 10, 15 years doing this thing. And you can kind of get that hybrid of Russ and fields together. If he learns from me and takes that knowledge to heart. Personally, I wish what would happen is they would bring fields in on third down.
Speaker: and and let him scare the crap out of everyone. You know, because he can if you give him a seam like Lamar Jackson, he's gone. is Is he the brightest quarterback in the league? No. Does he make kind of immature mistakes? Yes. Does he have moments where he looks like he could take over the league and have a great highlight reel? Yes.
Speaker: He does. um He's still very fast. His arm is okay. But that team is a work in progress. They've got a great coach. They've got a good system.
Speaker: ah Don't underestimate Denver. I think you'll be shocked this year how well they'll do. So I'm i'm going with Denver. And we again, we're talking three to seven points.
Speaker: a lot of a lot of yeah i think early games a lot of close games what what what about you Derek what's your what's your thoughts and opinions uh i'd have to flip a coin on that game but i'm still i'm uh i'm gonna go stealers i just think they got a better defense well i think that's ultimately what it comes down to when you play the Steelers and right is that like like like michael said it's their defense is taking the ball away they're scoring you know I seen that defense live and in person last year from front row right behind their bench and that is a scary looking defense. For me being a Browns fan, that is a scary defense and and guys that have played together for a while now and they click and they they they're in that same, they got their rhythm and flow man. That's a force to be reckoned with and I hate that we have to play him twice a year.
Speaker: What about you, Cameron? Dealers. Dealers. Why? I like the Steelers. That's my second team, so. and And why do you like them? Family friend played for them, so. OK, so do you like the the coaching? Do you like the system? No, I've just always. Always pulled for him since I was little. My grandparents went to church with Willie Parker, so.
Speaker: I always... um I did ask, didn't I? I mean, I just pulled for him. I mean, just like the Panthers. I mean, I've always pulled for him even though we're ass. Yeah. I sense you're a straight shooter, Cam. yeah You don't pull punches. You're you're just, you you say it like it is. You're you're not going to candy coat anything. is Is that fair? Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah, he's a man of few words. You know what? I should speak for him. Yeah, for himself. OK, so are we on to the next game? What are we doing? Yeah, yeah, we got some Saints and Cowboys. Why like this game? Yeah, I feel like ah like he was just saying, man, this should be a good game.
Speaker: I mean, it's tough to say, man, after watching the Cowboys last week, even though it was the Browns and it's like they're kind of like us, though, like they like to shoot themselves in the foot like they can be so good and show up and then just throw the game away. But I think there's a lot of a lot more continuity and in Dallas. So I'm going to go with the Cowboys.
Speaker: boys What about you, Mike? What you think? I think it's going to be an upset. I think, uh, this might be a really good year as long as people again can stay healthy. Um, don't underestimate, you know, Derek car. He's got a bullet of a motherfucking arm. Like he can really. Oh, got my drop in the F ball. No, but he does. He still has laser precision. I was shocked how hard he could throw the ball. Now.
Speaker: yeah Even Aaron, like like you know, last week, because there was a couple of times there where he really, so you know, I was like, Oh, he's still got, he's still got something. You know, it's, it's not just throw it in the basket. He's still got some, uh, power. Um, and I'll tell you, don't underestimate that defense. Don't underestimate that running game. And they are so what's the word deep in tradition.
Speaker: And they've done better if you look historically over the last 15 years, done far better in the playoffs than the lovely Cowboys. Yeah, 100%. And the Cowboys are wonderful with teams that are less than 500 or around 500. They can play some bully ball. But if you have, and the thing with the Saints is they're not afraid to spend money. Now they've spent some really stupid money over the years.
Speaker: But, uh, I, I really think this year, and I've said this before on Bill King sort of to do a drop there, but that this is going to be a year where it's going to be mostly teams that won 10, nine.
Speaker: 10, 11, 10, it's not gonna be this 14, 12. There's just too much going on in the sense of, it's very violent. I don't know if you've noticed this game is violent. um And with people are getting hurt a lot. like if you look If you looked at the injury list of Miami last week, it was ridiculous. It was ridiculous.
Speaker: Yeah, you look at the injury list from any of the games. I know Cleveland had a few players go out last week. Like Dallas had a couple, ah you know, across the board. You just look at the, if you're a fantasy football player, look at your squad, check them. You still got a couple of minutes. Get them checked because there's a lot. That's what I'm doing right now. Yeah, there's a lot of injuries out there. But, um Cam, what you think in Saints and Cowboys? Who you who you got? I'm going to take the Saints.
Speaker: Can I ask why? Well, obviously I know the Cowboys are not the Panthers. But that sounds great. I think that was so well. The Saints look like they, I don't know, man, they just connect really good. but I feel like they're going to be an NFC South team to beat. He looked 10 years younger last game. yeah I don't know if he was jacked on something, but he looked great. And I tell you who's reliable, too, and that's Taysom Hill. He's so versatile, man. They can put him in a QB and swiss army running back. football players yeah du he I love him. Tight and wide receiver. He's everywhere. He's exciting.
Speaker: He is, but he's getting older. He's 36 years old now. Yeah. He's getting up there at age and then and that'll start to, uh, that'll start to show, especially with his versatile as he is. I don't start to show real quick. I'm 42 42. You don't look a day over 36. So I was just saying D sensitive. Yeah. I'm looking for a contract.
Speaker: I can look 36. And I can play like I'm 46. My but my my heart. My heart says the Cowboys in this one. I think just because the defense is is going to is is so stacked and they're going to overpower the Saints. But my gut and I always go with my gut is the Saints. You know, I don't think we should be sleeping on them. like you said mike Uh, you know, don't sleep on the saints. I think they're, they're going to have a surprising season. Uh, fortunately for, for, um, Fortunately for the saints or unfortunately, I don't know how you want to look at it. We'll get into that in the next picks. Uh, they are in the, uh, the NFC South, uh, which is kind of suspect, but I'm going to, I'm going to roll with the, I'm going to roll with the saints. Um, and that game, Derek's going to load up with the Cowboys, America's team, quote unquote.
Speaker: Can I just bring one point up that and and i don't know I don't know this room and I don't know you guys very well, but it almost feels like there is a respect in this room for the Cowboys. like and i I go on a lot of shows now, different shows. I even go on a show that's based out of England and they absolutely despise despise the Cowboys and any time that they can kick them in the, you know what, the Kahuna's, they will. I've noticed that there is a form of respect. Are you guys not? Go ahead. I can, I don't like the Cowboys. I never have, but much like the Steelers, I can respect an organization. I think, you know, say what you want to say about Jerry Jones. Um, he, he has a way of,
Speaker: putting money in the right place at the right time. That defense is scary. Good. They've been scary. Good for the last three or four seasons. Uh, you know, the, the biggest downfall for the Cowboys is Dak. He's not reliable. He's not consistent. You know, you don't know what Dak Prescott you're going to get from one Sunday to the next, you know, every Sunday that I argue that I think he's color bond.
Speaker: can can i can i that too Can I argue that for a moment? Yeah. Okay. So if you took him and you put him on the 49ers, he would be phenomenal. The problem is it's not just me. If you put Brock Purdy ah ah on the Cowboys, it would be a mess.
Speaker: It would be a fucking mess. it's I'm sorry, it would be an absolute joke. He's gotta be careful with Dobbs that's there. That guy's bright. He can he is like brilliant, brilliant. I don't mean like so like, hi, I know how to do five times five. I'm talking biochemist smart.
Speaker: yeah and And he would be able to get latched onto that system like nobody. And you don't have to be a wizard to do well in that position. It's like when when they had the backup running back who was going through these massive holes, even Derek, I think could have got 50 yards. You know, 50 yards with those holes, right? And he could be screaming like, don't hit me hard.
Speaker: Yeah. I'll just go to the side. Yeah. Don't hit me hard, please. I would be like, mummy, help me. I think they're going to kill me. Yeah. No, like like I said, I mean, you you can hate, you can hate the Cowboys all you want, but there's got to be a level of respect for the organization because they, you know, for the most part, they are a consistent team. You know, they, and, and,
Speaker: I heard they consistently they consistently losing the playoffs. Yeah, they consistently losing the playoffs. That's that's for sure. ah You know they get there though, but yeah, you know, and and sometimes their division is tough. Sometimes not so much like this year. Probably not so much with the exception of Philly. um I said at the beginning of the season, the NFC runs through San Francisco or Philadelphia. um I think they're going to. They're going to manhandle the rest of the NFC.
Speaker: um We'll go ahead and roll in here. Uh where the hell we are. Uh to the Buccaneers and the Lions. Uh I'm I'm I'm gonna roll. I'm gonna roll with my boy uh Baker. No way. He's gonna keep you' not what to jail Oh my God. i would I was so mad when Cleveland got rid of him. And I love that he had a, that he had a good season last year and that he rolled right back into it this week. I think it's a nice little slap in the face to the organization as a Cleveland Browns fan, but I love Baker Mayfield and I like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Um, I like Godwin. I like Edmonds. I like, uh, Otten.
Speaker: and And I like their running back. What a breath of freaking fresh air. I have got so much heat over the last year of like Baker Mayfield, you know, and ah the Buccaneers I think are even better this year than they were last year. And and there is great chemistry no it with in amongst those receivers. So he's got bookends and I'm telling you, Mike Evans is still a dominant force.
Speaker: Derek, what do you think? That doesn't seem like he's aged at all. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like ah the Bucks. At the end, man, with Detroit, I just don't ever trust them. Another team that shoots themselves in the foot. um And I just, yeah, that's pretty much it. I think there's just more skilled players on the Tampa Bay. And yeah, I mean, that's pretty much it. I'm just going to go Tampa.
Speaker: Tampa all day. What you thinking? By how much? Tampa Bay by how much? Let's go. 9 points. Oh God, you're crazy. 9 points. You're crazy. Whatever you want, I want double. This is my quality H2O. Yeah, I was going to say more than H2O in there if you think it's 9 points.
Speaker: I was going to say Tampa by 14, but so I don't feel so bad now for saying that after I can. What are you thinking? I don't care about either team. um But because I am in Detroit right now visiting yeah family, I'm going to try it on the lines. I think this will come down to and you guys are going to how this is going to come down to a field goal.
Speaker: It's a good possibility. I mean, the Lions look good last week and they're they're running game ah Montgomery. He was he was the savior of Detroit of Detroit last week and that that that that first drive in overtime and it was Montgomery Montgomery Montgomery Montgomery in so Montgomery and I've watched it and I'll just like that's impressive. That guy's an absolute monster. ah Colts and Green Bay be taken over there. da Colts. I don't think Jordan loves playing. And I like Anthony Richardson. Yeah, I mean, I hate to say that because they're in our division and I don't like the Colts, but. And they're just a strong, good playing team right now. In Green Bay's got, you know, they're a little bit of a mess too. I like Jordan love and everything, but I don't trust him. Yeah, no, I I I.
Speaker: I do like Anthony Richardson. I think he he played. He played good last week. um But yeah, man, I Green Bay without Jordan love. I don't see him doing it. I'm um i'm going Colts as well. I ain't never mad when the when the Colts win a game at the end of the day. What you thinking over there, Mike? I love the Colts.
Speaker: I love the story. I don't think you should ever underestimate Green Bay. I don't think Jordan Love is the only key piece there. They're a really talented young squad that really gel well together. Um, they are a team that can wear you down defensively. Uh, there are the youngest squad, I think in the league.
Speaker: Overall, if you do the average of the numbers, I just, I love Anthony Richardson. I love that story. I love who he is. I think he's the new Cam Newton. I don't think he's, I don't think he's the, his pompous. Whoa. Whoa. Not as arrogant. I give him that.
Speaker: ah yeah Well, and you know if if I'm gonna stop I had I just put the break sign I'm gonna stop um Yeah, so I'm gonna go with the Colts but again This is very conservative. I think it'll be within three to seven points Yeah, I think it'll be a close game and I would not want to bet my life on this because I think in as most teams this year Everybody has the ability to win this year yeah everybody, including a team called Carolina Something Panthers. like Something like that. They were formerly known as the dumpster fire crew. ah Due to someone here in the room. Yeah, I took full credit for that. They are dumpster fire. I i know i don't like the ownership, but OK, sorry, I'm taking oh I don't either. We need we need to get Jerry Richardson from the grave and just bring him back.
Speaker: fuck temper um I'm going Green Bay at home. Oh yeah, you know, that's a very good point. That is a very good point. Yeah, a lot of cheese heads. Yeah, and they get loud out there too. They do. um San Francisco and Minnesota obviously for I like this game. I like this game. Don't sleep on the line.
Speaker: But I'm taking the 49 inch just because they' just I think the Vikings are just a little bit outmatched, nothing against the Vikings. I think they're going to have a surprisingly good season this year, all things considered. I know they drafted JJ from Michigan. They thought they had their quarterback. He wound up getting hurt.
Speaker: um But, uh, yeah, nothing against Minnesota. Any other team, any other week, I would probably take the Vikings, but this week against the Niners, I said it, that the NFC goes through San Francisco. It goes through the Bay and they're just outmatched, um, on, on the field where there's, there's better players and, uh, San Francisco is going to just do their thing, do what San Francisco does. Uh, so I'm going to Niners, uh, and that one, uh, what about you, Mike Niners? I don't know.
Speaker: I don't know and I'll tell you why and I've been saying this for the last couple weeks. ah The 49ers are old. They have a lot of pieces that are injured and currently injured. They don't do well when they lose a couple key pieces. There is all that drama that went on with the receivers. I think and think his name is Ayuk.
Speaker: And he looked rusty. He looked off step and pretty as much as I like him as a person, I don't think he is as resilient as I'd like him to be. But I can say that about almost any quarterback right now. And to be the last pick and to do what he did, it's phenomenal. So if there was to be an upset, this might be it. But I'm going to go 49ers by nine points. Nice. And don't forget, Metapri's not playing. yeah but that that Yeah, but Mason stepped up and looked great last week
Speaker: Um, yeah, for for san francisco but again, is that Mason being that good or is it that offensive one? Yeah. And them not knowing that guy either, you know, it's always like that, man. When new guys come out that are talented, there's no tape on them. They come out, they play well and everybody's it's over. It's almost like we talk about that overreaction from week one, you know, on the opposite end, it works the other way as well.
Speaker: I disagree with that. I disagree with that. It's usually quarterbacks that scenario. That guy cuts like a knife. He, yeah so, and he has deceptive speed. And I think the underestimated how hard it was to to get him down. It reminds me of Puka Nakua. When he first came in the league, they said he was slow. He was ineffective. Nobody wanted him. And then people were trying to tackle him and went, holy fuck.
Speaker: he yeah He's like trying to get someone who's 250 down and he's clever. And I think anybody, including Derek here, could easily go. And I said this, 50, 60 yards with those holes. He still got wheels, right? you know oh yeah yeah yeah You know? And if you pay him well and give him a good meal, he's willing to go. That's right. I'll stretch these hammies out right now.
Speaker: I'm going to take the Vikings just to be different and I just just to pick the upset. I like you. I like you. Yeah, yeah that's my I know. I think that's brilliant. If you're going to go for an upset this year, I think this is one of them. And Minnesota has a history of somehow screwing with the 49ers. If you look historically, they seem to have their number.
Speaker: Yeah, it's weird. 100%. Who are you taking, Cam? Vikings or not? I don't trust, I don't trust Sam Darnold, so I'm going to San Francisco. He was surprisingly good. You got, you got, you got Sam Darnold PPSB from when he was in Carolina. So I had so much hope. He looked good on paper. I think, you know, Darnold's one of those guys that has been underrated Um, pretty much his whole career. He has flat, he has moments where he looks really good, but then he has those moments where he he looks bad. That's why I said, you know, any other week, any other team, I would, I would be right there with Derek. I'd be picking the Vikings, ah you know, don't sleep on the Vikings this season. and I agree a hundred percent. Uh, we got, um, Seattle and New England going, going head to head, uh, out in Massachusetts, out in Foxborough.
Speaker: Cam, who you got, Seattle or the Pats? I'm gonna go Seattle. Sea chickens, huh?
Speaker: I hate the Patriots. Fair enough. What's your thoughts, Derek? Pats and and Seahawks. I mean, after the Patriots last week, it's hard to say, you know, but I don't know if that's going to be the same Patriots that are playing this week.
Speaker: Um, uh, man, it's just, it's a, it's a tough one, but, uh, I'll just go Seahawks. I don't even think they'll win. I'm just going to go Seahawks anyway. which which box mike I think the Seahawks this year will surprise people. I think they're going to do better than we anticipated their, their coach better than you think they should be.
Speaker: New England, though, is no slouch. They have a great system and they can beat you by frustrating the shit out of you. They're really good at that. They they can get in your brain and they're they're kind of like having a tick. It's not good. But um if they put Drake May in, I'll go with the Patriots. If they don't, I'm going to go. Yeah.
Speaker: But if Drake may goes in, I'll do it. I, I, why not? I'm crazy. Uh, you know, and I'll even go nine points. I, I'm, I'm going to be brave. Like Derek, my new friend. Yeah. Well, the pets are, the pets are starting Jacoby and I, I got, I got love for Jacoby percent. Um, but I'm going to jump on the cam train. I hate the Patriots and, and, uh, you know, I,
Speaker: Gino Smith, and you want to talk about a resurgence when he went to Seattle, that that guy just, I don't know what it did, but it it flipped a switch and and it rejuvenated his career. I'm um um'm riding with the Seahawks in that one as well.
Speaker: ah This is going to be a dumpster fire of a game, what let's call a spade to spade. I don't think we could say anything nice about the Giants and you know, Washington's trying to do things. um Washington and the Giants. I'm going with the Washington football team or the commanders or the Redskins or whatever they're calling themselves this year. I'm going Washington over the Giants. The Giants are a worse dumpster fire than even the Panthers. Why? Why?
Speaker: Well, the quarterback situation is a joke. ah I'm sorry, Daniel Jones, but the guy's thrown more interceptions and touchdowns in his career. Singletary as a running back, he was never that spectacular.
Speaker: ah and in Buffalo, maybe that was because Buffalo doesn't really do much with the running game when he was there. Uh, one highlight, I thought I was going to say something nice about the giants. Yeah. Is Malik, is Malik Naver's the rookie. Oh yeah. Uh, I think that kid is going to be a monster in the NFL. Uh, maybe not with the giants, but, and, and the, and the giants defense is, is just,
Speaker: in Complete disarray. I don't know if it's the ownership the coaching or what it is But the Giants are are a hot mess and they have been the last couple years and I know a lot of people are like Daniel Jones is Daniel Jones that I'm just not buying into the hype of Daniel Jones at this point and Do you think it's an ownership problem as well because this been going on for a while?
